Jack, I will consider "Gee I wish." Its a very long solo and not so easy, I can't even play that whole solo anymore but I could certainly teach it piece by piece. There are a lot...

 Duke, this is a great tune. It's good for me to practice at this tempo. I did a few takes before I settled on this one and I notice that I made the head more comlicated than it...

I have to qualify that Hopkins remark because very late in his career he did play J-50's and J-60's  -  But only when he was making big money in the blues revival did he change...

One point though - a jumbo guitar like a J-45 is a modern invention.  Gibson's first jumbo was the J-35 and it was produced in 1938.  Lightnin' Hopkins didn't own a Gibson in until...

Nice. Also, that one spot where you switched it up that reminds me of what I know as Peter Gunn theme song...is that right?

Also, my tuning is GCEA if that helps. The G is up where my thumb is. GEA are all the same notes as your GEA, but they may be a little higher. The C string is like the Bass on the...

Alex -- you are right -- probably 30-40 dollars in the depression - but that is not 150 dollars in today's dollars.  Even if it were, quality vintage instruments increase in value...

A vintage Kalamazoo in good condition is also pricey and you cannot buy them for $150.  The only difference between a Kalamazoo and a Gibson is they don't have a truss rod or...
