Slide Session work with Gerhard Helmut!

This january of the new year Twenty Ten, yours truly Marshall Man, tracked slide guitar parts for our pal Gerhard Helmut (he of Shady Lady fame) who was putting together the music for a TV commercial. We used one of our Supro guitars, straight out of the herd and had a fabulous time.   

Side note: we did indeed use a Shure SM 57 on a small Marshall combo. Put that in your pipe Bob Rock.

We decided to do a track by track cliff notes style review so that the average layman can understand the guitarouso which is the Mambo Sons and why you too will become a believer. (more)

A most profound and rare guitar, Travis Bean TB1000 Artiste, has entered the collection in 2009. Very flamey koa top. This one is in very good condition and is light weight. More pleasant discoveries were made once we wrangled it back to the house, such as all original parts and original case.
