Smoke on the Water (of all things!)

Once in a while, some random thing comes out of the woodwork and hits you right between the eyes. Justin Johnson has form in this regard - he is a versatile and impressive player - but I reckon he's outdone himself with this version. Enjoy!

That’s really really good. If only I’d learned that version as my first ever tune on guitar when I was 16.

Excellent. Makes me want to get my resonator out of the case again. I haven't played it in about two years!

Yup. Me too but I don't own one these days. I used to have a Regal but it got stolen maybe 20 years ago and I never replaced it. I tried a few out a few months back with a view to buying one but went cold on the idea. Among other things, I had forgotten just how bloody loud then are! Too loud for my sedate ways these days. I ended up buying another orthodox acoustic. Very tempted to at least dig the old slide out and have a crack at it.

… and then realises why I sold the last one! Actually I do miss it. My current ‘other’ acoustic is a classical.
