Re: The Acoustic Thread
lasted a minute... not sure whether I liked it or not so just stopped it.
Tried again, lasted 20 seconds, yeah nah.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I find Tim Henson to be one of those players I listen to and think "wow, that is incredible, that's some amazing technique going on", then I listen to another track and think "ah yep, same stuff again", then explore a bit further and think "ok, it's all the same, does he do anything else?".
I've seen him playing on stage with a bunch of more traditional players and he was out of his depth in that environment, so he definitely has his limits (not necessarily a bad thing, of course).
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
His voice on guitar is quite unique but yes thats really all he does, which isn't bad as such as its a pretty cool thing, but he's not as versatile as many other playersDanger Mouse wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 1:08 pmI find Tim Henson to be one of those players I listen to and think "wow, that is incredible, that's some amazing technique going on", then I listen to another track and think "ah yep, same stuff again", then explore a bit further and think "ok, it's all the same, does he do anything else?".

Re: The Acoustic Thread
That is incredible technique and skill. I would love to be able to do that. And yet I have no interest in listening to it and it does nothing stir anything in me.Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 1:08 pm I find Tim Henson to be one of those players I listen to and think "wow, that is incredible, that's some amazing technique going on", then I listen to another track and think "ah yep, same stuff again", then explore a bit further and think "ok, it's all the same, does he do anything else?".
