    Master Dave was out there playing but the devil didn't show up, so he went back home.

    Dave your videos where you play slide are truly a gift. Like the cinematic beginning too. Keep up the good work.

    Ortega did their job I’d say. If you can pull it out in the English countryside and have it sound like Mississippi… that’s a win. Nice playing as always too Dave

    Sweet! I bought a resonator maybe 30 years ago. Absolutely love the vibe, just incredible and different! Sadly it went about 10 years ago and have been thinking about it ever since! This would make a sensible replacement for my all metal reso on so many levels!

    You really floated my boat today. My lessons are wholly blues based because that’s all I want to play. I don’t mind some rock here & there but I’d rather listen to it than play it. I can really feel the blues. I have in mind a parlor sized resonator with a pickup for when my playing improves. The Ortega is the 1️⃣ and available in the US in my price range. I can’t thank you enough for this demo. It was outstanding ‼️I’ll be waiting for when you change the tuners and whatever you do I’ll do the same. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks 🙏. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🩵

    Glad to see you with a resonator! A different world of bliss 😁 Yours looks like a parlour size, & normally 12’s or 13’s would be fitted for slide work. I had an Icarus Parlour very similar a while ago. I now have a steel bodied full size Icarus Duolian, a repro of a 30’s National. I have 13’s on it, a Newtone Michael Messer Monel set, which tune up at lower tension. I play in open D or G.

    I have a rigid guitar case that was broken at the big part, like it was split from weight. Could never figure out how the last guy did it, but now i see. Using it as a stool... never thought of that before..🤣

    Sounded like a little Dokken riff there when you had it plugged in, if so, that may be the 1st time Dokken has ever been played on a resonator. Thanks Mister Dave!

    I met a fan of yours in the wild, he had a good gravey davey shirt on and I thought for sure nobody in my neighborhood knew of your online presence let alone rock out like you. crazy stuff because it was right after I started thinking about your new band name in the woods... very strange coincidence.

  • @JohnShalamskas
    @JohnShalamskas 2 місяці тому

    What you described (turning, turning, sudden jump) sounds more like the string is sticking in the nut and then slips after enough tension is accumulated. Might try taking it to your favorite luthier and have them check out the nut slots. Otherwise it could be the tuning machines, but if they are not engaging properly then the tuning would be even more squirrelly.

    @lockharthorsburgh8601 2 місяці тому

    Curses! I've never wanted a resonator, but you make this one sound so good that I want to try one now.
    Re: strings, I have a Guild parlour guitar which came with 12s. Sounded great but felt like hard work, so i swapped them for 10s. Felt better but sounded thin and "tinny". I've found that, for that particular guitar, 11s are a good compromise between tone and playability.

    Hi Dave, New subbie here😃 Could you tell me what FX pedal you are using round the 18:00 mark please, Love that orchestral sound, Many thanks Mark .... PS loving the channel and looking forward to seeing part two of the guitar from the bin 😄

  • @Innerspace100
    @Innerspace100 2 місяці тому

    Surprised how well it sounded amped up. A fun bit of tattle, that. Bet it'll be a bit(...) temeramental at high volume onstage, though... Unless you simply decide to embrace the uncontrollable feed back and just go with it;)
    And yeah, wonky machine heads are allways a huge pain in the back side. I know little to nothing about those split headstock thingys, but, there's an ocean of after marked tattle out there, so... yeah, like you said, perfectly fixable.

    It could be that the peg holes are a bit tight. Open them up with a file. Then wax the holes and those tuning pegs will come right I think.

    Does anybody know what the tune is called about 9,17 minutes in please? I've heard Dave play it before, really like it. Great guitar perfect for Mark Knopflers Romeo and Juliet would sound excellent on it

  • @Brykk
    @Brykk 2 місяці тому

    Is it the tuners, or the strings? I quit putting acoustic strings on my acoustic guitars because they never seem to act right. I switched to a set of electric 10 gauge strings and glad i did. Install new strings, stretch them, and now my acoustic is MUCH more fun to play and holds a tune so much better. No other changes than the strings.

    • @scramblesthedeathdealer

      He said it was the tuners, he said he changed the strings and it plays better, but the tuning machines aren't smooth.

      ​@@thedavesimpson Thanks, my old little amp recently broke and I'll not have it repaired ;-; How would you say does the Katana artist compare to Marshall amps, say, the dsl40cr regarding John's/rhcp tone? I'm not specifically after the Californication tone, I'm a huge fan of BSSM, UMPP, .. too

  • @Ronskie66

    I tried that in Glasgow earlier today. The guitar case blew away, the guitar followed and I am currently stuck up a tree. How did I get up a tree? Wind is the answer and for once not produced by beans. Is it a dad joke to say this video resonated with me? Of course it is, silly question.

    Hi. Does that tone knob really change anything in sound? Cause I can see you are trying to adjust tone but don't see much tonal difference. I'm about to buy green one (as for that price I dont see any better sounding parlor resonator) but I'm afraid it will go like in HB guitars with one knob that is more a decorative than practical. Appreciate if you could honestly comment about that. Any other, better resonator for about 350 pounds?
