He believes they are the highest quality in their range. If you knew him you would run right out and buy one - trust me! I haven't posted lately, but I had a great time seeing Lucy, Nina Gerber and Matt Kartsonis at Mc Cabes in LA. It was fun to hear the "foreign" perspective on Mc Cabes. While not the only place in LA to buy a guitar, it certainly is a fun place. (The other place to check out is Westwood Music) It really was an exceptional show. I don't think anyone has mentioned the amazing version of Guinevere that Lucy sang with Alice Peacock. It really was phenomenal. Alice really added alot with her harmony. I spend alot of time being jealous of the East coast shows, but we do benefit in that we get to see Lucy play for her family and with her friends. Lucy and Nina Gerber together are really something special. Take Care All, E On her way to see James Keelaghen and Jez Lowe on Saturday in Anaheim. Yeah! ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 13:45:59 EST From: Fantine729@aol.com Subject: Re: [lucy-list] fingerpicking patterns In a message dated 11/14/2001 1:14:33 PM Eastern Standard Time, pa28r201@hotmail.com writes: > Does anyone know any of the fingerpicking patterns Lucy uses in her songs? > My guitar teacher referred to the picking in "Scorpion" as being "intuitive." I still haven't quite gotten it, though have a basic beginner's version with which to work. ~ Sheila ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 18:51:13 -0000 From: "Iain Geddes" Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Guitar Advice I have an Ibanez as well which was my first guitar 21 years ago. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Doesn't mean to say I can play it of course! Well I am a lefty.
