Damn,


  Would you believe that I just heard the song "Slow and Easy" by Whitesnake for the first time ever  LMAO

  That's a great song.  Classic rock.

I need to go back and listen to some Coverdale/Paige stuff... Those two are birds of a feather vocally.. Either that or Coverdale is trying awfully hard to emulate Paige, and is more versatile than I recall him being when I was younger.

At least he's not pushing his voice.... In time his voice will drop..  a 12 year old male can't sing the blues...can't be expected to until his voice drops


Same kid at 15

What do you think is the best way to try and sell a Guild X500 guitar?

Wow, this kid is very good!  I've got one observation as a bass player though.  On that Rudemood song clip, it would drive me nuts playing bass behind him.  
I have a feeling he's the type of lead player that gets out there so far that he loses track of the tempo fairly easily. IMO

I did notice that.  He has a tendency to rush the tempo. Since his current Focus is more on ostentatious playing of the :Riff: rather than holding down the tempo, he's not focusing enough on not letting his adrenaline charged lead playing throwing him ahead of the tempo...Even though the recording is poor, and sound runs together,  one problem with MOST of his material at 12 and 14 was that that he was pushing his limit trying to get ALOT into the "blues box" so there was so much focus on "follow the flashy, amazing youngster lead player", that he's TOO busy with speed-playing of a blues genre, as a result he's having problems fitting leads into the songs meter. He's pushing too hard, to be too much.. In another 10 years, he won't be able to get away with that. You are absolutely correct, he's rushing the tempo...

Every notice how SRV would tend to do that as well but he'd catch himself ?  What he'd do to get the train wheel back on track, is go into Rhythm playing mode, and pull everything back together with his three piece... However when Reese in playing Organ, and he's a 4 piece, he does VERY well... This youngster can get away now with doing whatever he wants, since he's truly amazing FOR HIS AGE..  Yet tight blues tempo is very important if the overall band is to be viewed as "good".. Depending on how receptive he is to criticism,  he's likely starting to work on this... If he loves blues playing enough, he's already at 14 learning flamboyance can't take front stage in bandwork, at least not at the expense of bringing it all together... and staying within your time signature.

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying there Steven.  He has to learn to appreciate the value of silence and space between his notes.  That's almost as important in the feeling of the song as the actual notes themselves.

The Guild X-500, is like the D'Angelico New Yorker, Stuart X-500, and drives from the earlier Epi Emporer as one of the top blues boxes....If you have a jazz box with a venetian cutaway that's as valuable as a Gibson L-5CES , with the gold hardware throughout. That deco pickguard, and the highly figured wood, you sell it personally and locally by placing a special add in the newspaper, and you take your time. What you DO NOT do, is sell it on consignment where it might get scratched up, abused, or sell it on Ebay, where someone might say "It's not what I hoped for, I want you to issue me a UPS return call tag, or I will give you a negative feedback".  That's a VERY valuable guitar, and you take VERY good care of it, and KNOW the person who plays it doesn't have a spiked belt buckle with the same damn jewelry that scraped up my Starfire, or that UPS is going to play football with it, etc.... Sell it outright, and have people COME TO YOU.... Know the book value.... If you want to know the book value, give me the serial number, and condition... I have it..

If I were closer to you,  I'd give you actual low retail for it   It's just the sweetheart of a person I am  I already own the X-155  (At least I think that's what that guitar is)

The guitar belongs to a friend of mine.  I'm not classy enough to own something this good.  I'll pass this info onto him and get the serial number. Thanks!

This is mine,  not quite as figured a wood, no gold, no master volume, etc.. But it's still a higher end jazzbox, Mine is the 155, the 500 is top of the line, like the D'Angelico NY, and the L-5CES

I'm classy enough to collect it,  not gutsy enough to play it out... THat's the problem, that would be an "investment" assuming it's in excellent condition on up... and THAT's VERY important Don.... A guitar like that should also have an actual appraisal too for it's sale..
