In this episode of Vintage Snapshots Jack van Breen from Guitar Showcase in San Jose, California has an interesting Vintage guitar — it’s a Gibson ES 335 12 string. Jack plays iconic licks form “Mr Tambourine Man” and the opening chord from “A Hard Days Night.” While having a standard ES 335 body, the neck is a little wider to accommodate 6 more strings. Sounds pretty good with those Humbucker Pickups

Harvey Reid to play at Cooper's Glen Music Festival
The Cooper’s Glen Music Festiva l is being put on by the Great Lakes Acoustic Music Association Friday and Saturday in the Radisson Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo. Regional musicians Who Hit John, and Seth Bernard and May Erlewine will perform and conduct workshops, as will touring acts Bua (boo-ah), The Gibson Brothers, and Peter Ostroushko. Lorraine Caron has this report about Harvey Reid , a troubadour from Maine, who will play at the festival Saturday night.
Harvey Reid plays guitar, slide guitar, 12-string guitar, dobro, 6-string banjo, and autoharp. He specializes in traditional tunes and writes modern folk and blues for his own label Woodpecker Records. He’s been making a living at it for his entire adult life.
[Harvey Reid] “I don’t have a great musical biography. After 40 years of obsessive playing of music I still don’t know why I do it or where the energy came from. I’ve never stopped. I’ve played in the streets and then graduated to playing indoors. I’ve played venues from elegant restaurants to bars where people were punching each other. I’ve played with some bands, but, really I’ve always gravitated toward a sound I can produce on my own. The year I made my first recording was 1982, the same year that Michael Jackson’s Thriller came out and the same year that Madonna released her first record. At that time it wasn’t an option for musicians like me to be anything but “underground.” Major record labels were letting Bonnie Raitt and Paul Simon go. John Prine lost his record label. It was obvious if they couldn’t make it commercially, there was no chance for lesser-known troubadours like me.” “I remember having to teach the little girl in Flipped how to pick up a chicken. And chickens flap, I mean they can be pretty active, especially when they don’t want to be restrained or picked up. So I can remember going through and just having her pet the chicken and actually ‘Ok, I’m going to pick it up and you watch,’ and then having her do it. And having this young actor be so proud of herself cause ‘Oh my God, I picked up the chicken!’ She got over her fear, which was very good to see. If I can leave an imprint on somebody like that, like ‘Hey, animals are a good thing and a positive thing,’ I’m always happy."

Revelation: The Tone Secrets of Randy Rhoads His primary Les Pauls were his off-white '74 Custom and a Black Beauty with gold hardware and three pickups. When he reached for an acoustic, it was a 12-string. His effects array was simple: a Vox wah-wah, an Echo-Plex and a Korg echo |

An Insider's Guide to Muddy Waters' Guitar Sound Early on Muddy played an acoustic archtop guitar, like a L-5, with a screw-on D'Armond “Rhythm Chief” pickup, through a small amp, such as a five-watt GA5 Les Paul Junior Combo. That gear would be close to a carbon copy of the equipment |
