  • Travis Pickin’ in Drop D

    Posted by rickyk76 on June 7, 2021 at 3:20 pm

    Hey y’all, I haven’t spent much time here recently, and won’t be spending much time here going forward. But, in the old forum I had promised a sound sample of my Preston Thompson 00-12mm. I finally got around to recording something on my Sony A7ii and Zoom H4N Pro with MUCH thanks to @derrick<font face=”inherit”> for his guidance and suggestions. So, here’s Junior and a quick little etude in Drop D from a TrueFire blues course.</font>

    Loved your piece in drop D. I haven’t learned much about that yet. The guitar is amazing. After playing a GS mini for a while, my “larger” guitars are often ignored because I just love the comfort of playing a smaller scale guitar. Your guitar is amazing with fabulous sound.

    Thanks

      Thanks @Alfun I have to say that Thompson makes great guitars. I traded my Thompson dreadnaught for this and that larger guitar had so much amazing sound in it too.

    Great playing, @Ricky 👏

    Terrific sound in that 00-12.
    Always interesting to hear an all mahogany guitar.
    This one has got tremendous clarity and sustain 👍

    Thanks for dropping back in. Both the guitar and the Travis picking are impressive. I need to bone up my Travis picking. I so like the sound.
