So do you dig straight ups?

[DiMarco]

I do dig uprights increasingly. I also have to admit I'm making a slow transition from metal riff based funkrock stuff to more of the mellow jazzy material lately. Must be getting old?

It's a crying shame I never knew about this lad before. Love it!

Me likey. Lots.

And to think that a youtube clip comes nowhere near to the true tone of a "straight up".

What is the theme in 4:32? Sounds familiar... I 'd also swear there's some portrait of tracy in there.

It's Steve Hackett, maybe a Genesis song, usually on the acoustic guitar. Can't think of the frickin name though.

I love some original upright playing.

Just before it sounds indeed like portrait of Tracy.

As for 4:32 it's the Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1.

Yes Ups are a completely different ball game, i like em but to play them is not my cup of tea.
