💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

Image
John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields. His mother moved to Chicago to secure a job and support her family. She promised to bring John and his sister to the big city when they reached age 18, leaving them with family. Depressed and lonely, young Primer frequently went into the neighboring woods, where he cried his troubles away and began singing the blues in solitude. He eventually built himself a diddley bow on the side of his grandmother's house out of broom wire, two nails and a brick and began accompanying himself as he sang, eventually playing for dimes and quarters in his schoolyard. After listening to Jimmy Reed , Little Milton, B.B. King , Albert King and Muddy Waters on his grandmother's record player, his biggest dream was to play alongside Muddy Waters one day. 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Clic...

Tech Talk - Greenfield Guitars - G1

Image
The G1 is an extremely versatile, grand concert size guitar that sits comfortably in your lap (it is slightly larger than an OM). It has a very focused yet open sound with a tight responsive bass, transparent mids and thick, clear, ringing highs. The G1 is quick to respond to even the lightest touch and it lends itself well to many different styles of music. It is evenly balanced from string to string and everywhere on the fretboard; including the upper register, above the body joint. The G1 has the ability to reproduce complex chords with piano-like clarity, while articulating each note in fingerstyle patterns. While primarily a fingerstyle guitar, it is also superb for light strumming, acoustic jazz and even classical repertoire. Scale length: 25.4" Body length: 19 1/2" Body width - Lower bout: 15 3/8" Body width - Upper bout: 11 1/2" Body depth at lower bout: 4 3/8" Overall length: 40" If you like what I’m doing, Like ---Bman’s Blues Report--- Facebook...
