Hi,
Have been playing Upright (Double) Bass for some 35 years - Bluegrass (Blacksmith Band), Trad Jazz, Rockabilly. Also acoustic guitar. Recently acquired a Cort Squareneck Resonator Guitar. I always loved and wanted to play Squareneck so am frantically cramming in the practice to catch up on lost years. Circumstances mean it has to be self-taught via internet "teachers". Feel a bit isolated at the moment.
I only know of one other square neck player in SA, but he is more into pedal steel. I live in Cape Town and would like to make contact with fellow Squareneck Resonator aficionados in SA.
BTW - also would like to hear from Rockabilly Bassists. I may be a bit too old to strut the Rockabilly moves on stage but find it such a driving sound - well, who knows.
Cheers,
Stefan
