Restaurants are very nice to play but I do miss having some cheers and enthusiastic applause. This evening a hubby comes into the Italian to collect his wife while I'm in the middle of playing and starts asking "What guitar is that ? What tuner is that ? What amp is that ?"
"Look. While I appreciate your interest, I do wish you'd fuck off, mate !"
Nah. I didn't really say that, though it was on my mind. Instead I just about got to say "It's Spaaaa-nissh ..." before the piece I was playing collapsed in a heap.

Me playing some Clapton on a Tanglewood TW 40 orchestral. I think it does a pretty good job of imitating the Martin OOO 45 which Clapton is playing in the picture and which costs around £3k
(Will probably sound a bit tinny through laptop speakers)

Lovely sound and playing Elecs!
'Nobody knows you when you're down and out', played like that just brings back soooo many memorias...
Yup, wot they said.

I could make a sordid joke BUTT.....
Very enjoyable. That 'sound' is well suited to your Bach pieces.
Thanks Beast, Scrobs, Al, MTG.
Clapton is known as 'slow hand'. It's all relatively easy stuff derived from the blues formula as played by old blues players.
I'm working on Foggy Mountain Breakdown at the moment but it's not ready yet.
It's constant twisting and turning and going back against run of play is very difficult to get used to.
I have a new found respect for flat pickers. You cannot afford to slip one bit nor lose timing at all.
Lovely playing Kev.
Smack - Thanks.
