    Hi all, thanks for the tips about mounting the guitar mount in a stud, BUT: In Holland we usually do not have studs & dry wall, but concrete or brick. This particular wall is at least 20cm thick! Cheers!

    Paul Davids Don’t put your guitar on the wall , put it on a typical well made guitar stand , or in the case with proper humidity. 47% . I do this and have a digital humidity gauge in my 2 cases . I have a Eric Clapton Stratocaster. And a new Ovation with Tiger Eye Maple 🍁 I sold my Marshall stack and bought a new Fender Deluxe Reverb 1975 Retro amp

    @@kermitsbench7057 ...if you get it deep enough to get into the wall itself, that is. I think that's the mistake Mr. Davids made: the anchor he used is only long enough to get through the plaster coating, but doesn't reach very far (at all?) into the wall itself. Here in the 'States, we have long "blue screws" that are specially coated and hardened for drilling directly into concrete walls, and they always look unnecessarily-long to me. This is why.

    Love the elements in this piece. In the third lick(phrase), it finishes with the 8 to 6 on the B, then reflects the pattern in chord form by going from an Eb to the slide-in Bb is a wonderfully creative example of the technique, call and response. There are so many of those little nuanced devices hiding in this piece that it is a listening treasure hunt for the ears.

    From one Paul to another: thank you! It's KZreadrs like you that enabled me to finally mail down guitar as a hobby of mine that I've been wanting for so long. A few years ago I started and only wanted to be able to lazily strum some things as a way of soothing myself when I'm lacking other creative outlets, but was so delighted as I continued to progress into what we might call intermediate? Anyway, these videos give me something to work on without pressure, connecting me back to my soul and feelings and sense of accomplishment in some of the darkest times of my life. Thanks ❤❤❤

Enough for me to know what to pick out if I want to improvise in that style across a similar progression. More please!

    The transcription is on Soundsclice. It's from a Josh Smith promo video for Collings guitars. He also does promo for Collings at Namm. Often accompanied by Kirk Fletcher. The Norm Rare Guitars de Angelico 1942 performance is similar to this one, and is also on Soundsclice if you search Josh Smith.
