My dad on guitar

SlashNBurn99 · September 2006

This a recording my dad made a few years ago using an RP100 and Kustom amp through 1 of those PC mikes.

He passed away last year.

He was a huge Hank Marvin and Shadows fan, I use to give him hell about that

.

Anyway I think this sounds pretty good.

Sorry to hear that about your dad. This is a really beautiful song. A little haunting with the reverb, but it works. Thanks for sharing! 8)

You should save that forever. My father has been gone 9 years now and I would love to have something like that for a memory. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments and kind words fellas.

Mike B- yea I have a few copys of it already and I have some flamenco stuff he recorded on cassette.

Partch- It was actually me who got my dad back into guitar, when he was young and living in Cyprus he had Flamenco lessons and could play that stuff real good, but he joined the navy and put the guitar down.

A little further down the road.

I discovered Slash and decided I want to play guitar so I got really into it and this motivated him to pick up the guitar again, he started me of with some chords and stuff but we have totally different styles so I'm mostly self taught.

I remember when we bought a USA Fender, the look on his face was priceless.

My biggest regret is not letting him show me that technique flamenco guitarists use when they strum (they kind of flick there fingers through the strings) , I think it's called rasquedo or something it sounds like a rolling kind of effect.

Anyway he really liked this tune but only about 5 people heard it includin me and my mum.

Thanks again

Sorry about your Pop. I wish my Dad had a love of music I could have shared with him growing up. My mom is gone she was the musical one. didnt play but loved to sing. Anyways what a cool 60's vibe to that track. Kinda had a goodfellas feeling to it.

Slash, thanks for sharing that with us! That piece could easily be used in a movie soundtrack 8)
You were lucky to have that in common with your dad. Mine is very into listening to all kinds of music... as long as it's traditional classical! Needless to say, if you've heard any of my posts, I can't get my dad to listen past the first 4 measures. Take care, and keep the music coming!

Thanks ODB and Insideout,

I have heard your posts and they are of a very high standard.

My dad hated most of the guitarists I listened to except SRV, but he always liked hearing me watching me play.

He hated distortion though

<div style="displaynone">fiogf49gjkf0d</div>Hey man,
Sorry to hear about your Dad
Your Dad played really well. It must have been cool to have a Dad who played. My friends Dad growing up played. He was this old Greek guy. Did not speak much English. I would jam with him, and we would have such a great time playing. It was a lot of fun.
My Dad was not musical at all. Not the my parents discouraged my playing, but the never encouraged it. I never took lessons , until years later when I had a job and paid for myself. And I only took them for 6 months. I was playing in bars at the age of 15. My parents had never even come and see me play. The only time the saw me play was when I played a song at my wedding.

I think it is great that you have his music and the common bond of playing guitar to remember him.

Thanks for sharing that. It was very good
