I hope you're well!
Very cool - that's the sh!t man - thanks for uploading.
Singer seemed to cope better with the second song - maybe because there's less focus on the the vox due to the whole band playing? It was good, though. Did you make up that solo yourself in the second video off te cuff? Pretty cool, regardless!
I'd say don't ditch "Crazy" or anything - but keep working on it. Could you do the odd harmony?

Yeah, made up the solo. I'm new to all the country stuff so I essentially just ripped loads of other people off and used some pretty cliche'd licks but for the purpose of blagging pub gigs, it'll do whilst I get better!
Steep learning curve though. I'm playing pedal steel licks on one song and fast country stuff on the next! It's a broad spectrum!
I do harmonies on most other songs so will see if I can add something to it. I like that idea! Put our own spin on it.
Not sure if the band are playing that too or just if it's me and Dori. But that may also change the dynamic a bit.
Got plans to set up some cameras on Wednesday and record more of the rehearsal. If we get something that sounds good, I'll upload more. Will get the bass player in shot (with his double bass!)
Yeah defo your own harmonies... I'll be doing that at some point, which will be a laugh lol.
Yeah man, the more vids the better! I recorded our entire last gig but sound isn't great - maybe I'll put some of that up.

The full-band was really good, and considerably better than a lot of bands I've seen playing and getting paid for it. Good stuff!
Cheers!
Telecasters are just brilliant for that classic country/rockabilly twang! It's funny but although I've been playing more years than I care to remember, it's only around 5 years ago that I discovered the charms of a Telecaster and bought myself a 1988 Telecaster USA Standard. Although I currently play classic rock & blues in a cover band, I have quite an eclectic taste and play (well, at least attempt to play!) quite a wide range of different styles inc rock, blues, jazz, slide, funk, acoustic, folk, pop, etc and I have even been known to play a little bit of country too - enough to appreciate that some of the most talented guitarists around are country players.
Cheers @Voxman!
I love Scotty Moore! I went to Memphis last year, did Graceland (along with the rest of the tourist trail stuff). It was good to see lots of reference to Scotty everywhere! I believe there was some graffiti on the wall in the Gibson factory that said "I wish I was as cool as Scotty Moore" (or something like that) to which he had replied "Thanks!" with a permanent marker when he had been to visit. It was just next to his signature Gibson on the long corridor.
Scotty is ace. Such a melodic player. I wish I had half of his talent!
It's given me a real boost having the comments about my playing on here. It wasn't the original reason for posting the videos, I was just looking at getting some confirmation we're not terrible. Playing country is completely new for me so it's made me feel much more confident about what I'm doing. We've got some Rockabilly, traditional country, jazzy country, bluegrass and rocky country in the set. I real test of my abilities!
I love my tele @Voxman. In my opinion, they're the most versatile guitar out there. I'm in a regularly gigging function band and it covers most stuff pretty well! I particularly like how stripped back they are - so simple. Less to go wrong.
I'm thinking of treating myself to a Nocaster for my 30th birthday... I'll never NEED another guitar. That's the story I'm telling my girlfriend anyway!
I'd love to be able to play like the guy below, Daniel Donato. Went to Nashville (just after Memphis) and he's no longer in the Don Kelly band unfortunately. I'll keep working at it!
Once again! Thanks for the positive reinforcement!
