New Kid On The Block

Postby Danny Mitchell » Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:00 am

Check out Conor Smith and his beautifully serviced, by our very own Bob Adams, MSA Universal :guitar:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8dmma4ugqlatm0z/C.B.Smith%20at%20his%20MSA%20Uni.mp4?dl=0

He's been at it for about a year, and got this guitar in June. I reckon he's going to be a monster. Could this be a new star, rising in the North? :D

Wow! Fantastic stuff - really encouraging to see some younger players* getting into this wonderful instrument. Look forward to seeing how Conor gets on over the next few months! :guitar: :guitar:

* (I don't think I can still legitimately count myself in this category, but I'll keep using the "Grecian 2000" on my hair and only doing lo-res videos as long as I can :lol: )

You're fresh meat as far as I'm concerned, Sid :lol:
I'll definitely lump you in with the new kids on the block!

I know, Charlie. I thought I could be of some help to him, but it's the other way around :lol:

Well done Connor, :o :shock:
did Bob add some extra notes when he serviced the guitar?
Don't know about you Danny, your already well down the road :roll: but this playing will be the tipping point and drive Calum to drink, when he hears this universal being played. :guitar: :guitar:
No signs of a screwdriver or cans of worms either :lol: :lol:
No longer slummin, I’ve got a Mullen and a damn good amp as well,
they’ll be well played, if not played well, seat time alone must tell!

He's already a great guitar player, Robert, a real tastemaster. I was lucky enough to meet him when he came into the studio where I worked. I think he was 18 and had been playing for just a few years and already he was like a cross between Chet and Roy Buchanan :shock:
And to top it all, he's a really modest and pleasant young man. I hope to be like him when I grow up :lol:

Nothing on steel (As yet) Charlie, but I'm sure you'd enjoy his guitar work.

I know it's not steel, but worth a watch IMHO :guitar:

Mmnn, I don't know what's wrong with the Dropbox link, it's a clip of Conor playing Bob's vintage Hofner.
:oops: probably operator error :oops:
