Dig the li'l etude man! Also sweet archtop!

I just noodled a bit...it's a little rough and sound's not great, but maybe it'll give people a couple ideas. I learned Zeppelin's Black Mountainside a long time ago, and the bits-and-pieces I remember are (crudely) in there. There's another little thing from a song I wrote ago with some cool descending lines, although you'll see I also kinda' forget some of that stuff, too, haha.

Anyways, DADGAD's cool for droney stuff, and pretty nice to get an eastern feel out of it because of that.

Adam wow great stuff man I like your pos. Awesome playing!

Hey Herm
You too you layed it cool but I really need to tell you something. Mountaiside is actually not composed by Led Zeppelin they stole the song from one of the best fingerstyle players during that moment, same as Paul Simon BTW. Check out Bert Jansch (maybe you know him). Below I but a link of a song called Black Waterside which Bert wrote before Led Zeppelin came with their version. I wrote stole because Bert never got any penny for it. He has more wonderfull songs maybe they will inspire you.

Yeah Bert Jansch is great...it just so happens that the version I learned is Page's :)

I know he was a hero to a lot of guitarists from that generation. I've learned a few of his songs by proxy...for example I learned the Paul Simon version of Anji.

I think the one song I have learned his version of is "Blues Run the Game," and that's not even his, haha.

Anji is originally from Davey Graham who's the first person who used DADGAD. He created this when he was in Marocco or Tunesia. It suited better to play there with the locals is the story.

Blues Runs the game is from Jackson C Frank.

I love this kind of music a lot too. Cool to see other appreciate it too :).

I played Anji as well but the Jansch version, if you like play have a listen:

Anji

Nice! Dig the cover.

I always confuse Davey Graham and Bert Jansch in my head. Very similar in style and era.

John Martyn's another guy I think of with them...he's a bit later and not exactly the same style, but another British finger-picker that's not super well known. You may know of him, but if anybody's lurking on this thread, they would probably like him!

Great playng Pebber! I like this very much!

Adam I almost frogot to ask,

what kind of guitar are you playing on your video in this thread. It seems to be a good guitar for fingerstyle, Jazz, Flok, blues but also plug it in to an amp to to some more rock stuff (last im not sure).

I ask because im thinking to trade my Gibson LP for a more Jazzy guitar (hollow or semi Acoustic)

P.S. I like this thread I think we should post more often videos of us making music as well, dont ya think?

Well Adam it is trully a beauty and has a wonderfulll tone! Thanks for answering the story behind that guitar you own us now cause it made me very curious ;)

Love the White Summer man. Definitely a wide open feel.
