Blutone Plays the White Lion pub in Sawston: Watch his version of the House of The Rising Sun

 


It was my absolute pleasure to play at The White Lion Pub in Sawston, Cambridgeshire at the weekend.  It was a solo gig and I took my trusty PRS SE Starla, Boss Nextone Artist amplifier and my 'Little Blue' parlour guitar from Art and Luthier.

A friend of mine, Skelly, recorded the opening track which was the classic folk song, The House of the Rising Sun made famous by the Animals in 1964.

Incidentally, Skelly was a backing vocalist on the track of the same name by John Otway some years ago, but he hasn't let fame go to his head.

As for my version of the song, I do not play it like the Animals do as I have my own rhythmical style but take a listen below and let me know what you think.


Many thanks to Paul Skelton for recording this video for me.

Hands on comparison with the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and the Fender Player Standard Telecaster.

 I tried out two almost identical guitars from Fender in the same Butterscotch finish at PMT Cambridge.  The most significant difference between the two being the middle pick up on one of them.  Yes, I have had the opportunity to try out the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and compare it with the Fender Player Telecaster.  Is the Nashville going to be the obvious choice in terms of the better guitar just because it has more features and a higher price tag?  Let's see with this hands-on comparison. Setting the scene... In my home town we have only one guitar shop, PMT Cambridge.  They very kindly allowed me to try both of these guitars and the amp of choice was the Boss Katana set to edge of breakup. In my head I wanted to see if the simplicity of the standard telecaster won against the more feature rich Nashville.  It is an unfair comparison in this case as I am comparing the Player version of one with the higher spec Player Plus version of t...

I finally got to try out a Baum Original Series Wingman!

  In this article I am going to give you a hands on review of the Baum Original Series Wingman, Leaper Tone and Conquer 59. On Sunday, I travelled up to Birmingham to visit the UK Guitar Show and I had a list of who I wanted to visit and which guitars to try out. At the top of that list was Baum Guitars.  Based out of Aarhus, Denmark, this small but mighty company is bringing something special to guitar players all over the world.  Initially a custom guitar builder producing guitars costing in excess of £3k, thus not being accessible to many guitar players who are not professional, they have been able to bring their unique designs to more affordable price points that means that more and more people can purchase their guitars. For me, I see that Baum are bringing fresh ideas to guitar design whilst celebrating retro finishes and touches a vision from designer Morten Bau. The video below from Andertons gives a great overview of the range that is available. Not everyon...
