Hi thought you might enjoy this video I shot on the night. I went to the gig to find that the regular Player Giles King was unavailable and that Lee was standing in.
I think that Lee has wonderfull tone and is very origional in his approach.
Lee's a fantastic musician, to these listening ears up there with any modern player. Wish he'd get the old band back, but then most of them are doing their own thing.
What was he doing for amplification? Was there any? As you say, great tone
Damn! Yet another great upside-down player. That does it! There's something going on with that. I'm gonna switch! If I can grow an extra half a brain to shift with my left hand in a right hand drive car I should be able to learn to play backwards!
Maybe if I stand on my head it will seem natural. :)
The camera I used was nothing special but was a Mini DV type so I can record in high resolution/quality and still get a good sound reproduction.
I always try and keep the camera still once the subject is in frame and try and imagine the vid from the viewers point and not how I think it should be. I also always try and get an interesting angle and height.
If you are interested I will be posting more vids on my YT site soon.
There is alot of debate about the upside down style if you look hard enough. for the record I do not beleive any of it. If you have good tone... you have good tone.
