Hello  All , 
 
I made a little time this afternoon to play and record over the second TDPRI August backing track …
 
This time  I went for a clean chordal / double stop approach while playing my Tele .

I sincerely hope you enjoy the guitar playing

Oh yeah, that's as smooth as butter Kenny, really sweet tone and phrasing. Are you using a pick or 'grabbing' the chords? Mark Knopfler came to mind while listening.

That is a combination of a pick and grabbing, nicely done, I really like it, and the Les Paul has never sounded better. 

Another really nice one, Kenny.   +1 to James' "smooth as butter" comment.    And like the last one there is a lot fluidity in your playing.
 

Excellent playing Kenny -- smooth indeed!  I am really amazed at the sound that you get out of the Tele -- it really comes out sounding  - well- smooth with out the metallic sound that Tele's can some times have.

Hi James,
 
I treated it as if I was writing a song on top of the backing track , so I put a lot of thought into what I wanted to say while playing the guitar .
through out this recording I'm doing a combination of plectrum with fingers …sort of a hybrid style of picking ...
Yes , you could say that I'm grabbing the strings of the chords with the pick hitting the lowest note . For a lot of the single note runs its pretty much all plectrum .
Also in parts of the song I wound up over dubbed some sections  , in a few of those places I used only my fingers ...
 
I'm very pleased you like my playing on this tune 
 
Kenny
 
PS Mark Knopfler ,thank you, what nice complement  Yeah I wish I could hang out and jam with him one of these days .

Very nice Kenny! I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Hello Freddy, 
I'm real pleased you enjoyed my guitar playing and tone on this song 
Yes, this Tele has been with me since 1984 and she has mellowed out pretty good ...she is my favorite guitar   
i should just listen to people and play her ...every body likes the way i sound when I play her .
