Hello everyone! Doug from Memphis (actually Northern Miss.)
« on: September 08, 2015, 01:00:16 PM »
I'm a Taylor Guy, like to finger pick, and love my Taylors. If you want to hear me play, I have a few things on youtube. My user ID is "grahamd4261". I'm actually playing my Gibson in the videos, but in my defense, I had just gotten it and was trying to break the old girl in. It's a nice sounding guitar, but I bought it more as a piece of art than to play. Say what you want, but Gibson does know how to build them pretty. I used 2 Apogee jams, an Ipad with Garage band, and an Iphone to record the videos. it went guitar, a jam into the ipad (garage band), then an 8th inch cord out of ipad and a 1/4 in. adapter on other end into another Jam into the iphone. Yes, I had wires running everywhere, but the sound and video quality came out ok. As for my playing...I guess I'm not bad, but I wish I was better. Looking forward to joining in the conversations here.

...and a Gibson I like to look at

Welcome to the forum, dgraham.

I also have a nice Gibson, but I do most of my playing on my Taylor 818e. I also like to finger pick, and use my nails as picks. I mostly play older stuff, but in no particular vein.

I'm not really familiar with how utube works, but if you post some links, I will try to check them out.

Welcome to the forum.  I checked out your YouTube channel - very tasty!  Your Gibson sounds great - is that all the guitar, or maybe the recording gear you used?  Or is it purely the exceptional dgraham!

 Hi Doug. Welcome to the UTGF. A good sounding guitar is a good sounding guitar, no matter the brand to me. :)
