Happy New Year everybody. Here is my favorite version of percussive guitar from Booker White. B.B. King, who is a cousin, says he created his unique vibrato to imitate his slide technique. I play this song but the technique tends to leak into all sorts of other songs I play now. It gets a big response. http://youtube.com/watch?v=bsMpHHSLSlc

It is biased towards my early blues interests but I think you may dig it. http://tinyurl.com/t2ynt --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Jan 12, 2007, at 11:03 AM, sparaig wrote: > > > As an example, La Source du Lyson, written by Coste about 150 years > > ago, includes short > > samples of slappig the fretted strings to produce special sounds. > > There's a specific > > annotation in guitar sheet music and tablature for such a thing. > > > Not the same thing at all.
