I have seen/heard her before and I really like her voice (trying to think of who she reminds me of but I'll have to think some more), and the sound she gets from that lovely Guild is very sweet. :wink:

Thanks,
Joe

Sweet voice, very subtle. Reminds me of somebody too Joe. Nice guitar.

She reminds me of Natasha Borzilova. She's good. And that D-55 sounds AMAZING!! Great link, thanks for sharing that. :wink:

I really like the sound of her D55.

Her voice and lyrics somewhat remind me of early Joni Mitchell, in the sound, and in that the meter of the lyrics is sometimes "double timed" over the melody of the song.

Just the same I like it overall.

Craig, I love her D-55 too, but she doesn't sound anything like Joni Mitchell.... early or otherwise. She just sounds like herself....

Tom,
That really just goes to show you how much I actually know about anything at any given time.

I do know that the wine in your glass looks pretty good, somewhat as though I should find some for myself too when I get around to it. Although I can only recall playing any instrument totally straight.

Well, Craig.... I'm a Joni fan and what's fun about this is .... if you click on the link you get to hear classic, early Joni Mitchell doing one of my all-time fave songs of her's..... The Urge For Going. Have a listen and tell me if you think they sound alike, and even if you disagree with me.... you still got to hear some amazing music, yes? :wink:

p.s. - that was some mighty fine wine......

It's all about the words we choose to use. :wink:

Tom,
I found this from Joni Mitchell in 1965, a cowboy ballad:

This was before I ever became interested in her stuff. Check out that typical mid 60's look to her.

As for me I have begun working on adding a few Joni Mitchell songs to what I play. Its an exercise in alt tunings, and even some gender modifications in the lyrics. But seems to be working OK so far.

davismanLV · Sep 26, 2012

The D65s is currently in a Joni tuning. One of my faves. And I figured out how to play The Urge For Going in that tuning, even though that was one of the rare songs she wrote in standard tuning. She's got the voice of an angel, Craig. I don't think there's anyone better..... thanks for the link, amigo!!

p.s. - which songs of her's do you do?

the 55 sounds sweet in dadgad...the awaiting rolled number wedged just above the nut might be more intriguing

southernGuild · Sep 26, 2012

Enjoyed that clip LTP....Very nice. I'd like to hear more from her. She has a relaxed style of playing , a fine guitar and a great voice...Yes, I can listen to allot more of that.
Tom, That Joni clip was a beauty. Reminds me that it's been too long since I've played that one. The "Blue' album, still moves my mind in many ways.
My 10 year old daughter Loves Joni Mitchell. Thats one of the things that I am pleased to have passed on to her. Her appreciation of Joni, and her music, will only grow richer as time goes on. Lots of great lessons and life experiences there. That woman is amazing!

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but isn't it really a thumb-pick? :lol: :lol:

I was wondering what that was also. It appears to be some kind of black sticky pick holder. Here she has switched to the thumb pick and has her flat pick stored up there. I like the "jazz" chording in the chorus on this one!

Bikerdoc · Sep 26, 2012

Yep. Nice sounding guitar and she does remind me of Joni. And one other thing; I STILL can't fingerpick.

Peace

Natasha's guitar sounds so good in the first video, but even though the video portion of this bit is lousey, the guitar still sounds wonderful...what mic (first) and what pickup system (seconod vid) is she using? Still arm wrestling with the K & K I had put into my D55...boomy, even with the K & K eq box.

Of course, she is probably just a better player than me!

Bill Ashton · Sep 29, 2012

OK, been listening to a bunch of her videos, as well as her former group Bering Strait...they were a great country band!

While perhaps not the voice, her carriage and work is very much like that of Mary Chapin Carpenter...listen to some of the lyrics...pretty good for English as a second language.

Where is Guild's A & R man, they need to get her into the stable, what a damn fine artist she is!

Great voice and great D55
