Douglas Kirby Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi Everybody, This is a track off of my album "The Westerly Sessions Vol. I". I played slide guitar on this one - something I don't do very often (I'm no George Harrison). Any comment and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

freddy j Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Impressive song Douglas. The lyrics are very good (luv that chorus). The vocals and harmonies were very nice indeed. Good work on the slide! It has inspired me to try learning this technique on my old 1960's Norma guitar (nice high action that should work well for slide). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up Norma guitars - they look like some interesting axes. Playing slide is fun - I should practice it more often. On this song, I played a glass slide on my Fender Strat.

bjornpdx Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'm not only impressed by your playing but also how you structure your songs. I'm guessing you've had some formal training in music? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mid to late teens I had an instructor who taught me musical theory - he was an excellent musician and guitar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
