You Tube Picker

Don't know if this guy has been posted before, but I am sure impressed with his playing. Really clean and punchy...........excellent. I only posted the one video where he is playing a telly looking guitar. Check out his other stuff too. (This may all be really old news...hope not)

First I've seen him !...Thanks for posting...good Picker

lennyb · March 27th, 2008, 09:01 PM

Awesome ...Check out his freakin SMOKIN VERSION of workin man blues!!!!! NICE! thanx for posting!

BrutherBill · March 28th, 2008, 11:51 AM

Reminds me of Chet...which is a good thing.

That 30 seconds of rockabilly left me yearning for some more.

Nice Indeed: Workin' Man Blues

Hey, those are great. He does a nice version of Mr. Sandman, too.

It's refreshing to hear someone actually playing music instead of just "tone noodling".

ajgus · March 28th, 2008, 12:39 PM

That String Jumping thing is pretty sweet too.

braderrick · March 28th, 2008, 12:44 PM

I've been subscribed to his stuff for a while now. Ran into his stuff on accident a while back. It's all great pickin. BTW I already inquired about the tele it is a reissue, but an older MIJ.

ajgus · March 28th, 2008, 12:47 PM

You have to check out the Bach piece that he does on that Grestch. I don't know how to post links, otherwise I'd do it.

Not sure how to either but I'll try, if you have to copy and paste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3fal1k-rlY

Thanks for the kind compliments. I´m glad you enjoyed my picking on YouTube.

biker joe · March 28th, 2008, 02:33 PM

These are some super nice tunes! Thanks for posting this.

Wow! Welcome aboard! I take it that you've obviously had a couple of lessons in your day. I am humbled by your abilities. Thanks for the music.

Sweet playing Holger and welcome to the TDPRI

Amen on that one, but tone noodling is too polite a way to put it.

Durtdog · March 28th, 2008, 03:32 PM

OK Buddy Holgi, I just finished watching all your YouTube videos and visiting your site.

I'm officially a fan.

Mark Davis · March 28th, 2008, 03:39 PM

Great player nice light touch excellent tone and chops and taste. I love the steel guitar sounding chords and licks.

Buddy Holgi gets the Bakersfield seal of approval which I dont give out too often! LOL

That is nothing short of awesome!

petesguitar1 · March 28th, 2008, 08:17 PM

You play really nicely and defintiely have that Chet influence (which is great in my book). This forum is kind of my first foray into any country styles or chicken pickin so I'm having a ball! Well done!

Mark Davis · March 28th, 2008, 08:36 PM

WHat I like is when its a real good player like Redd Chet or this example its all so smooth and simple looking. Our new Buddy from Germany makes it look so easy.

jlrich · March 28th, 2008, 08:37 PM

Good stuff!

Mark Davis · March 28th, 2008, 08:38 PM

I love this one!

Stickyfingers · March 30th, 2008, 08:22 AM

Buddy Holgi....tell us aboutyour equipment please???.....

PJ · March 30th, 2008, 02:31 PM

Nicely done, Holger! I especially like Sandman (as well as the others that are up on YouTube.) Nice tone on your Gretsch.

Buddy Holgi · March 30th, 2008, 03:20 PM

My tone on these videos is nothing special. I played directly into my computerspeakers over a POD Line6 with pretty high gain to get the sound more "dirty" (it also kind of compresses the tone), some reverb. I tend to turn back the treble pretty much. The black guitar is a custom tele made in Japan. I think a high percentage of the tone is formed by the player, the way you "dig in" the strings and timing.

rodeo_joel · March 31st, 2008, 04:38 PM

i've seen your vid before Holger, fantastic picking! (i'm sure i left a comment on it). Loved the one with the "Workin' Man Blues" beat, fantastic chicken pickin'.

Cheers!
Joel
