Makin’ Up a Quick Little…Um…Something?

There was no other guitarist like Jeff Beck

One of my favorite guitarists of all time is Jeff Beck.

He makes music that is passionate, fiery, soulful, creative and beautiful.

Rick Beato, who has a very popular guitar/music channel on YouTube, said this referring to the uniqueness of Jeff, “He is one of one.” That is a great way of expressing it.

There was no other guitarist like him.

I know it’s sort of strange to feel sad about the passing of someone you have never met and do not know, personally, but I am sad to hear that Jeff left us, suddenly, yesterday.

We have lost a brilliant, legendary creator of musical beauty.

Kick back... Have a snack... And I’ll play with this track

 

Might be something, might be nothing

 

I was jamming around on the guitar and I'm not certain...this might be something or it might be nothing. Sometimes it isn't that easy to discern the difference! 😊

Playing a guitar my friend Dennis made

My friend Dennis is a deep thinker, with a keen mind, who challenges me with interesting ideas and thoughts. He is also a self-taught guitar maker. When I say self-taught of course I mean that his years of working with wood have been combined with lots of insights from YouTube. And voila!

Dennis has made some beautiful guitars including the ones you see in these photos. Dennis made every part of these guitars except the frets, strings, tuning gears and the truss rod which goes through the neck. They represent tremendous creativity and craftsmanship.

The inside support structure of these guitars involves the type of design that is found in a sea shell. I would explain that concept further but I don’t really know how. So I’ll leave it at that. But in spite of my limited understanding I can tell you this: It is totally unique and very cool!

Thanks for letting me see and play some of your works of art, Dennis!

They Call It Funk

Guitar... Because He Lives

Might be something...might be nothing

I was just jamming around on the guitar a bit. I don't know, this might be something or it might be nothing.

Don't get sucked into unnecessary arguments
