His forte is slide (check more tube vids and you will see what I mean) but he does a pretty good job of belting out this old tune on an acoustic [:Y:]



This is a nice slide piece 8-)

Monster player indeed Alan.

The builder is a fella by the name of David Churchill whose workshop is located in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

Kim,

I thought you'd bought a Vincent!

Great player.

Very good slide player, for someone who is trying to master that style it's a bit of a kick up the butt.

I must say though that as a great Richard Thompson fan, I think he should have stuck to the slide, I really didn't like the way he did one of my favourite songs, one of the songs that I loved playing myself when I had fingers! I had a Bonneville, but always yearned for a Vincent, but I wanted the Black Shadow.

Funnily enough was thinking the same thing... (although never had the skill to play that) but if being as fair as I can be, being a huge RT fan, it was less about the interpretation as the guitar playing is great (if quite diffferent from RT), but not sure his voice (nor any cover I have heard) works as well as RTs with that song, his rasp and unique expression, just works so well with the lyric and picking... so difficult to be objective when I love the original so much
