Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]
Sorry to butt in. But just youtubed "ocean". I hadn't heard it before and only went on too see and hear it after your discussion Checkers and Disco. Absolutely fabulous, I'm gonna go through some more of his work.
Geez he can play a guitar, 12 stringer too in this clip. Are those his real fingernails (for picking) or picks?

Never too old to find something new to enjoy.
11 string guitar, didn't actually count them before. Is the 11 string the "plantation" version Disco?
Geez he can play and a few different techniques as well
Yep, really good. I'm still getting educated at my age.Disco08 said:

Nah man, it's just a 12 string guitar with the 8th string taken off. A 12 string guitar, tuned the way he usually plays it is like this:
------------------ C
------------------ C (octave higher)
------------------ G
------------------ G (octave higher)
------------------ C (same as the higher C above)
------------------ C (octave higher again)
------------------ G (same as the higher G above)
------------------ G (octave higher again)
------------------ C
------------------ C (exactly the same strings)
------------------ E
------------------ E (exactly the same strings)
If you leave the 8th string on it's the highest sounding of all of them and creates some really strange notes especially in open tuning.
Most if not all guitar companies are involved in conservation of the timbers they use despite the fact the industry uses a minuscule amount of timber compared to the Japanese and US housing industries, not to mention the paper companies which rape Australia's old growth forests.

Yeah, I was bullshitting. Virtually all good guitars use 200+ year old Sitka spruce for their sound board's and Butler's guitars would be no exception (other parts of the guitar do come from plantation timbers though). I don't reckon that means he's hypocritical for being outspoken about wilderness conservation though. The guitar industry alone would make next to no impact whatsoever on these forests and is nothing compared to other industries.

And I'll bet you his strings are made from whale gut and his picks are from ivory tusk too !
(And check out what those boots he's wearing are made of too. I wouldnt mind betting there's at least a bit of lion hide in those things.)

Good choice Checkers, I've been playing it again. See some other versions I'll try them too. Tacheckside said:
