Yeah, I’m a huge, massive CCR fan.
I wore out their vinyl albums and eight tracks in high school. I still have their first 5 albums on my phone. I don’t bother listening to Pendulum or Mardi Gras anymore.
He’s quite the choogler ;). Good player; still in fine voice and a solid player.
CCR is a lot of fun in a jam session. Great Times
Been playing Love Me Tender all day.
I’m finally hearing E7 properly as a lullaby in the song. Took awhile to banish CCR from my head. 
For A7 I’m using the mini bar on the 2nd fret and G note on the third fret.
So far, I like the voicing better than the A7 with open G string.
There’s a couple hard chords in Love Me Tender.
I had never played this voicing of Gm6 before. It’s a little tricky.

Yeah, every time I play an Fadd9 on a 12-string with another guitarist playing a Dsus4 and the bass player playing a D I can only think of “Hard Day’s Night”
Nice.
Hard Days Night is a great song.
I’m encouraged that I recognize some chords in songs. I badly neglected ear training when I was younger and it’s something I struggle with today. Course now, my hearing isn’t what it used to be 30 years ago. I missed the bus on ever having a trained ear.
I am improving with guitar and singing. Agreeing to play at a friend’s wedding (in May) is a big step for me. Working hard, practicing three times a day. So I won’t make a fool of myself.
The two songs I’m doing aren’t too difficult. Love Me Tender only uses guitar accompaniment. I gotta get that right.
At long last I have finished setup on my Strat I’m I’m pretty happy with the results. I wound up backing up the truss rod about a third of a turn, didn’t have to adjust the action at all, and tweaked the intonation on the low E about a half turn of the screw, then put some .010s on it, up from the .009s I have been using. Definitely a little chunkier sound now, which makes me happy! Next I turn my attention to my Frankenstrat knock-off to go through the whole process again, but with .009 Cobalt strings to see how that changes the sound between the two guitars. Looking forward to the process! 
Haven’t tried Hard Day’s Night, but I do enjoy playing Something, which is so simple and elegant, while also having some interesting and subtle chord progressions. I’m learning that Beatles songs are more complex than they seen on the surface!
Nice job Jimbo!
Those guys were amazing songwriters, and doing much more interesting things than other rock writers at the same time. Quite impressive for guys with no formal musical training (I believe Paul later in his career was conducting orchestra music but can’t read). I don’t think they necessarily originated the harmonic ideas, because pop songwriters had been doing some of those things for decades, but they adapted it to rock and brought it to a new audience.
Watching American Restoration and Rick’s wife buys her son a 66 Mosrite. Rick restores the paint.
Looking on Reverb, some sell for over 3k. Others 1200 to 2k.
What makes them so collectable? Unique sound? Great player?
I haven’t heard of them before.
**The Ventures **played Mosrites, as did, most famously, Johnny Ramone of The Ramones.
Semie Mosley was known for taking Fender shapes and flipping the over.
Refinished guitars lose 50% of their value.
I thought I recalled that mosrites were made with particleboard bodies. Or perhaps those were Danelectros
Yes.
Nope.
Danelectros are (generally) poplar frames covered with masonite. Masonite has similarities with particle board, but the particles are much more small, and the medium is much more dense. Either way, to describe them as particle board is Fox News levels of misleading.
Mosrites, in the words of Johnny Ramone: “Mosrites are not made out of wood. They are made of very good cardboard.”
Either one puts a lie to the idea of “tone wood”, but that’s a much more involved discussion.
Better answer. Thanks. As for tone woods, any material that dampens the right, bad frequencies and feeds the good ones into the amp is okay by me.
Ah, so my first instinct was right. I didn’t think the mosrite looked like a quality instrument. I was very surprised at the prices for vintage ones. I understand now why the vintage survivors are rare and valuable.
It’s like Silvertone. People that learned to play on a guitar from Sears have very strong affection for them. All the memories of childhood and playing their first gigs. That’s cool if you have that association with the instrument.
I will always love Yamaha acoustics because that’s what I learned to play in high school. I’ve bought a couple vintage ones from eBay. Models I couldn’t have afforded in 1977. It frustrates me that I can’t remember the exact model I had. I only remember it was advertised as a jumbo body and had a pickup. There’s several jumbos that were made in the mid seventies.
Norman Guitars demos a Mosrite. This one is older, has a vibramute tailpiece, and more valuable than the one featured on American Restoration. It had a mosley tailpiece.
Anyone bidding?
Some incredible music was made on this guitar.
Oh shit, Jimmie Vaughn doesn’t have control of Jimbo?! I didn’t realize that but yeah, read about it in various SRV books I’ve read.
A Broadcaster would be a $50-$75K guitar on a good day and more on other days. One owned by Stevie and Jimi would go for a lot more than $200K, I hope. Man, if that was a Strat, I wouldn’t want to guess, simply because of SRV’s identification with Strats. I would much rather have the Broadcaster.
