Title: Got to hear Midwayfair play out
Post by: Leevibe on May 08, 2015, 06:13:09 AM
Well, not his whole band, but I got to hear Jon Patton play live tonight in Portland. If you ever get the chance to go see him, you should! I was impressed! He's a great singer/songwriter and an OUTSTANDING fingerstyle guitarist. I got to meet his wife and he hooked me up with a bunch of CDs. Thanks again Jon and enjoy Hawaii!

Have not heard Jon live in person but on youtube and he's indeed a good one. Also liked his tutorial vids about fingerpicking he once did.
Let me know, should you ever tour in Belgium ;-)

Lee, thanks again for coming out and bringing Brett with you. Hopefully we'll get to hang out some more this weekend.

I did have one pedal with me if anyone's actually curious. I slipped the El Capistan in my guitar case. :)

Were you running it? I thought I heard reverb in a couple of the quieter passages. The PA was pretty lame so it was a bit muddled where I was sitting. I could hear well enough to appreciate how great your Larrivée sounds though. Also, do you use a Shubb capo? Couldn't tell from back where we sat. I'm a long time fan of the Shubb. I can't use a Kyser. They are handy but they destroy my intonation.

Shubb's are definitely the best capo I've used.  That being said, I've often resorted to the Kyser for fast paced gigs where time between songs is limited since you can easily clamp it to the head for easy access.
