Hi. I prefer D'Addario EXPs to Elixirs as well but I'm an oddity and can generally make do with pretty much any new guitar strings. My Larrivees tend to make any string sound good.  :cheers

Here is a little recording without using any microphone. Althought I always told everybody (as do most guitar players), that recording an acoustic guitar with a pickup is crap and must sound awful.
Of course this does not sound as nice a microphoned guitar, but it is close.

This is recorded with my Larrivee, LR Baggs Anthem -  Ditto Looper - Schertler Unico - the guitar input of my Boss BR 1600.

The song played is improvised: three chords and melody. No blues at all.

What do you mean no blues at all?  Sounded pretty bluesy to me!  Soulful playing at the very least, you can tell it came from your heart...  You do all the parts?

Bravo!
George

I mean, no blues in the way I play my classical blues. These are just three chords (a minor, e minor and d minor), no blues progression, no I - IV - V.

What you hear is one track containing the rhythm and the solo - part (with the Ditto), and the other just some rhythmic parts.

Of course all played by myself.

Every once in a while I love to play these non - blues - instrumentals, also electrified...

Greetings back to you Germany.  I think by now you are considered part of Larrivee Land?  Great song by the way, I love to listen to you guys play...  Your style is refreshing.

Thank you so much. But this song was me solo. Recorded this afternoon.

Good job.  Very clear playing and nice recording.
"Badges?  We don't need no stinkin' badges."

Became a Shooting Star when I got my 1st guitar.
Back in '66, I was 13 and that was my fix.
Still shooting for stardom after all this time.
If I never make it, I'll still be fine.

Busy rehearsing with my "partner in blues". to get our programm done.

But here's an spontanous improvisation on some Lonnie Johnson chords recorded this afternoom-

No masterpiece for sure, but fun to play.

Thank you very much.

By the way: I tried out Martin Monels as suggested. Hm..... .

I was not so impressed. They sound okay for old time blues and ragtime, but they seem to "compress" every note you play. Very hard if not impossible to add any dynamics.

Got rid of them after a week and put on my "good old" EXPs.
