Always grateful for these Troubadours snippets; this set is super special. (Keep wishing for a Troubadour equivalent of Sonic Cataclysm.)

Any dates on the calendar for '16 yet?

Alas, not yet. We shall see, I hope there will be some.

Happy New Year to you both!

And to you, Wes! Hope we see each other again next year.

Regarding the Korg pedal.. So that you don't feel alone, I like it. I like it so much in fact that I scrounged up two... you know me and my penchant for "a few( )" duplicates.

Hey, I've got four now! They're so damn cheap on eBay (~$50), why not?

I remember your sending me the instruction sheet to program the blasted thing. When it's set up, it's great for a "quick" session or practice. Pity it isn't made anymore.

Great, John, at least one other fan!

The Roland Space Echo - both the new ones and the old ones are what I use when it's a full setup. Brian Setzer can't be entirely wrong. Have you every tried one?

Many years ago I tried the original tape unit. Don't remember much about it, quite honestly. I've never tried the pedal, though I know that Alex Faide of Los Twang! Marvels uses it, and that's a pretty big endorsement! I'll have to check it out at some point, though between the Korg and the Strymon, I am very happy!

Thanks for the info on the WEBER Speakers

You're welcome! A great company!

As a founding member of the Ivan Sr. fan club,

Yes!

these vids bring me great joy. For the first time I can see Sr's left hand in action. He does the Bruce chords, no barre chords. Brilliant!

Yep, my dad's studied Bruce's style under a microscope! Constantly watching videos to see which positions Bruce will play particular chords and then figuring out the inversions, etc. He's as DEDICATED to the Art of the Bruce Rhythm Guitar as few - if any - others!

Jr does alright himself. A keepsake session.

See what you made me do Ivan. Had to go out and get some sort of Vox sound for the office so I can start playing some Shadows and Atlantics. I'm not mad. Just think what ramifications your influence can have on people!

Holy cow, David!!! That was FAST! I guess with great power comes great responsibility, or at least I think I've heard something like that... What Vox amp is that? (AC-10? Thus the reference to bugging Wes for the settings?) I sure hope you like it, though I'll accept absolutely no blame if you don't! Anyway, between the Strymon and this, you should have MANY hours of fun ahead!

Excellent playing, great melodies and sound.

Actually this is a Vox Valvetronix that I picked up off CL yesterday cheap. It is the original series and it's doing a great AC15 sound. Now I'm enjoying playing Shadows/Atlantics Vox sounds. Had to have and didn't want to drop hundreds into the real thing after buying two new strats in the last month lol! I also wanted a decent amp for the office/mixing room for learning songs online. I'm going to create a decent bassman sound next with it.

Now back to the thread about the great sounds you and your Dad make!!!

Having spent a bit of time trying to get those rhythm parts down (12 or so Shads songs on our set list) I understand and respect what Sr. has done. It took YouTube interviews with Bruce to shed light on what he was doing with the Shads and there are still bits that throw me.

Note the Wakeman/Jon Lord interview is worth watching.

My dad and I again recorded ourselves playing some Shadows ballads for Christmas. I've posted those on Facebook, but in case you're not on FB, I'm now putting them on YouTube (where they can also be seen in HD, unlike on FB for some reason). Here's #1 of 4: "Find Me a Golden Street". Enjoy!!
