Neil Young's Old Man:

Solo by Mitch Ross

45s (singles) used to have artwork done for them as well. This is the artwork for Old Man and the Harvest album.

Old Man is one of Neil Young's best songs from one of his most successful albums. He's written dozens of great songs over a five decade long career, and most people agree that Old Man is among the best.

I first heard this song by watching Neil perform it solo on a 1983 TV special featuring Neil and the Shocking Pinks. I wish I still had the tape I threw into the VCR that night. It was a great show. Until recently, I'd never thought of playing it with a band.

Here's my version Old Man.

Eastwood Guitars - Airline Jupiter PRO and Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 @ Tom Lee Music in Vancouver

I was in Vancouver, British Columbia on business, and of course had to stop into a music store. Tom Lee Music on Granville St. was closest to where we were staying. 

It's a great shop. Lot's of gear for all types on music and musicians. 

I was able to try out this Eastwood Airline Jupiter PRO which is capable of more tonal varieties than you'll hear in this clip. The controls are a bit more complex than the standard pickup selector switch, volume/tone controls, and I didn't have the amount of time I wish I'd had to play around with them. 

Overall I really liked the sound, and the neck felt comfortable. It's not a Gibson or Fender style neck. It's a bit beefier than those, but it did not feel like a club in my hand. 

Product Demo: Jamming on an Epiphone Swingster Royale

I dropped in to Prom Music, a local Sudbury, Ontario music store recently to pick up a new nut for my Strat. I saw this Epiphone Emperor Swingster Royale, also for sale through Amazon.ca and had to try it out. I plugged into a Yamaha THR 10 guitar amp, and shot this short video using my iPhone 4s, and by making something up on the spot.

Epiphone has been making better and better guitars these days. I'm very impressed with them.

Danelectro D-1 FAB Distortion Pedal Unboxing and Demo

In this video I'm unboxing a Danelectro D-1 FAB Distortion stomp box pedal, showing you how to use a Dan Electrode power supply, and finally demonstrating how to use and get the sound you want from a distortion pedal.

I picked up this pedal in a second hand store. The box was still sealed meaning the pedal had not been used before.

Washburn Rover Travel Guitar

Greetings, friends and fans from Sudbury, Ontario and beyond.

Recently I purchased this Washburn Rover Travel Guitar for $40. I've had to do a bit of work on it, adjust the truss rod, lower the nut and bridge saddle, but it was well worth it.

I took some flack for comparing its sound to a banjo and ukulele, so pardon my stressing the word "almost." I really try to keep these simple, with minimal editing and so on.
