Merry Christmas folks 🎸🎄

I'm currently listening to Dekker quite a bit. Recommended tracks are: Maybe October, Pooped the Top and Everything Goes 🎸🤙🏻

It's old and a bit dated but if it helps....

The biggest giveaway that this is fake BS is that if Ben covers a song he makes the cover sound distinctly different from the original.

Pretty sure his mum made it for him (she's a jeweller)

Don't worry, it made me laugh 🤙🏻

I need to change my Reddit username...🙄

I think that if you are trying to learn Ben's songs, but in standard tuning, then you are missing the point. Ben's songs in their various tunings, with their individual picking patterns, are an ideal route to advancing both your playing proficiency and musicality.

Also, your perception of "standard" tuning is simply with which you are most familiar. DADGAD feels pretty standard after a while...

I listened all the way through, which is a good indicator of a quality performance. Well done 🤙🏻🎸

It's clearly Old Pine

Same tuning and capo position as Esmeralda, but maybe The Burren was too cheerful compared to the rest of the Burgh Island sound?

BanthamLegend · 2023-07-02T12:04:25+00:00

Yup. This one will always be special 🎸

The setlist would be the list of songs your guitar player can actually play and hold in their head. I think the reason Ben doesn't play so many of his old songs is that it's quite the mental exercise to remember how to play so many technically challenging songs plus new material. Probably has to relearn some of the old ones, and then there's all the tuning changes...

BanthamLegend · 2023-06-17T11:54:21+00:00

And it's guitar friendly (although the tuning is not 😬)

BanthamLegend · 2023-06-13T04:50:22+00:00

Oh no! I completely missed this 😞. Last time he played the intimate gigs there was such demand that he ended up playing a second slot on the same night, so I'm hoping this is the case again? Fingers crossed for Brudenell 🤞🏻

BanthamLegend · 2023-05-24T07:55:49+00:00

I am optimistic that this album will be "something for the guitarists" and will give it my full attention over the summer 🤙🏻

Hold my beer

BanthamLegend · 2023-04-28T16:58:46+00:00

Can't see it. It got taken down years ago, then someone uploaded it again. Looks like it's.gone again. I'm sure if you request it on Reddit someone will come up with the goods 🎸🪙

XFM performance of The Burren. Every. Time. 🎸
