CORRECTION, Guitar is a Pro111 with the ally neck.... should be here Wednesday.......

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

Steel arrived the other day set up was all over the place pedals were removed from the rack, and the bright Red pad on the back of a green guitar just did not look right so, now it is back together with nice Green pad and though I have not even changed the strings yet here is a little toon I tried to play on it....

There were some lovely licks in your demo, John.

I know you think there isn't much you can teach anyone but you're wrong and a video talking us through that tune would be great

[Donny Johnston]

Great sound off the Sho Bud John. I would like to make comment on your personal appearance in the video, the white shirt looked newly crisp and starched, had you just come in from church ? were just about to go out to your job as a lollipop man ? . Very swish. Donny.

Donny the truth is stranger than fiction, Tesco had a sale on of shirts and it was cheaper to buy them all than to pay my ironing lady .......

Jeff thank you for the nice comment but mine is a simple version of the tune utilizing the few chords I have picked up along the way. I hear so many people doing a Mike Johnson copy, don't they realize he is untouchable ? I know this having tried to copy a few of his lics myself so, rather than be a watered down copy I think we should all just be ourselves and see what comes out....... am I warbling gobshite here? not quite awake yet (hard gig last night.)
Yes I will be glad to do a vid for you of my simple approach to the toon and it will sound better than my pro111 demo i promise .

You're right there John.

One approach I use is to learn little licks and phrases that I like and the find ways to put them together in different combinations like a Lego set.

Also, I try to copy stuff from the masters and invariably end up mangling or simplifying it a bit and sometimes end up with something of my own.

Hi JD. Had a go at this and enjoyed the experience. Can't sus out all the moves but did a good job by my standard. Look forward to the video to fill in the gaps. Kind Regards, H.
