You or I probably wouldn't sound like Charlie thru Charlie's 'rig'. It was in Charlie's hands, connected to his soul.

I had to dig around to find this I did a looong time ago, an Epi archtop directly into a PC with a Vamp modeler on clean. It was as close as I could get. What was even harder was getting his feel and phrasing, I kind of gave up at the end and just winged it. :lol:

Anybody know what those felt picks were used for originally? When I started buying picks circa 1965, my local music store displayed them alongside the rest of the guitar picks. I bought a few and tried 'em on 6- and 12-strings, but could never get any tone out of them at all, plus they were thick and awkward to use.

Thanks for posting! I was beginning to think I was the only one around here that was into swing guitar!

 

 

We're out there (so to speak).

 

It's been months since I played any music style on guitar that was popular after 1962 and not coincidentally about the same time I drifted away from here.
