A Little Fingerpicking

[Rob MacKillop]

Just felt in the mood...

Homage to the great old bluesman, Blind Boy Fuller:

and a 17th-century Scottish lute piece:

 

[Tom Dunne]

Very nice soft picking and very easy on the ear. Lovely tone to the guitar.
I love guitar music, my favourite guitarist being Leo Kotke with a style of his own who at his best is out of this world and at his worse all over the place. Does some good bass guitar picking too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, Leo is something else. Anyway, glad you like it.

 

[Brian Moore]

Beautiful both of 'em Rob. (I love the sound of acoustic blues especially.)

 

[Pete Askew]

Just what I needed Rob. Thanks.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Gents. I was just in the mood. It grabs you like that sometimes.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Superb Rob, especially the first...must get that old Eko Jumbo restrung...haven't played for years..

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha. I remember the old Eko acoustics. Worth restringing, I'd say.

 

[Douglas McMann]

I'll give it a go...used to have two, a six and a twelve (remember 12-string Fuzz...???), but now only have the 6 string which was consigned to the attic when I bought my "modern" Yamaha...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

If you need any help or advice, just ask.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I may be slow, some claim so, but I have not come across this two pieces till now. I treasure them both and just feel like singing to the first, being a country boy singing the blues. Are there any text to this one Rob. Excellent entertainment and very much appreciated. Very much down my lane and the guitar playing is just lovely. Thank you.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Ivar. Great lyrics:

Got a Big Fat Mamma,
Meat hangin off her bone (x2)
Every time she moves, man you outta hear her moan!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I'll be moanin´ along too. Thank you Rob

 

[Beth Carter]

wonderful!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Beth!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

How'd I miss this? Love it Rob. Pure sound. I fall asleep to Pandoras Acoustic Guitar station every night.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Glenn. Never heard of Pandoras Acoustic Guitar station, but it must be awful if it just puts you to sleep

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

A good listen Rob thank you.

 

[Tom Dinning]

At last! A real person - with a heart and soul no less.
Thanks, Rob. Nothing brings tears to my eyes faster than a guitar well played.
I might just put that on replay for a while and contemplate the hills of Scotland.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, lads. I do have a heart - I can hear it quietly thudding through mattress at night. But as for a soul - I sold that at the crossroads long ago.
