My girlfriend was nice enough to get me a shirt that said "No Job, No Money, No Car, but I'm in a band". She's great.

Needless to say, I came back a happy man. I saw some really great guitar players, got to play some guitars that I'm going to buy once I have the money, got to talk to some guys that are trying to put in a concert hall in Ledbetter Heights (named for Leadbelly), and just had a good time wandering around the festival.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gunslinger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-119380 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118990 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 04:46:10 +0000 http://www.tsimon.com/burton.htm]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118990 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118988 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 04:42:15 +0000
I gotta say, he is a great guitarist. I got a t-shirt with him holding his paisley Tele. I'll put a pic of the t-shirt up if I remember.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gunslinger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118988 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118987 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 04:41:50 +0000 http://www.james-burton.net/

You would think there should be being so close to Motown and all.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-118978 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-11090 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 03:35:35 +0000
They had the Gibson tour bus there, although they didnt let me in (darn!). The Gibson booth had a bunch of their high end LPs hooked up to PODxt's so people could listen to how it sounded, and it was awsome. I sat down with the gold-top reissue and I'm in love....I just didnt look pitiful enough for them to give me one ;)

I did win a Line 6 Tap Trem pedal from their booth, and I picked up a digitech 1650 distortion pedal, so I've got a couple of toys to play with over the next couple of days. I think we're going back Sunday, and hopefully I'll look pitiful enough to get a guitar then.

Anyway, the point is that it was so much fun watching a couple of guitar clinics, seeing James Burton (and yes, a couple of booths had paisly tele's), and jamming. I nearly bought a vintage tube overdrive pedal, but the guy had it marked up like 100% of what he paid for it (I know because the sticker on it had the price he paid, and he admitted it).

If anyone is near Shreveport, LA this weekend, check it out. $5 for the guitar trade show, and a bunch of money for the concert they're having tomorrow (dont know how much tickets were...I wasnt allowed that close since I promised I was going rafting).]]> Guitar Players Discussion gunslinger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/james-burton-guitar-festival/#post-11090
