Default Wichita Lineman - Eric Skye Playing A 1931 Gibson L5

Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb) on a friend's 1931 Gibson L5 in my office on a rainy Portland Morning. https://youtu.be/KJnvI46e5R8

I hit the link but nothing shows but a black screen. I'll try again later. I love that song and will look forward to hearing your arrangement.

Best,
Jayne

Beautiful rendition, Eric. Loved the way you slightly changed up the tempo and phrasing from you other Wichita Lineman video on youtube. Really, really nice!!

Sorry guys. Dramatically underestimated how long it would take Youtube to process the HD video It's up now.

Thanks.

And I don’t know how interesting this is, but that’s an AKG 451 that you can see in the video. It’s at the neck joint, but pointed towards the right hand. I usually like that spot anyway, but on the archtop in particular there doesn’t seem to be as much interesting information coming from the neck joint, so I just wanted to mainly get the sound of the right hand. What you can’t see in the video is that I have an AKG 414 about a foot in front of the lower F-hole.

What always amazes me is how well the gaps and notes that aren't being played sew together the whole "package" of a tune whenever you play, man. Draws the listener in really nicely. Always loved your version of this tune.

Nice playing! A friend of mine played an old L5 for his entire folk career. He's since passed it on to his son.
