Another Guitar Gathering







Once again, a group of guitarists gathered together to play some music. But this time, we were joined by famed Hammered Dulcimer artist Bill Robinson and Greg Ferguson on guitar.

We were all memzmorized by Bill playing this incredible instrument. Wow! This guy is FAST! The little "Hammers" that he uses to play the instrument are very flexible as you can see in the photo. I can't believe he can move so fast and accurately too! Definitely worth checking out if you ever see that he is playing in your area.

We rented a room at a local park district building this time rather than meeting at someone's home. Because of that, we had a chance to bring in more players. The amount of "high-end" guitars in the room was staggering! Yeah, we all like to play nice guitars! I played my electric bass most of the time to give us some bottom-end, but you can see me on guitar in the image above.

Can't wait for the next gathering. To see some videos, compliments of videographer Andy Schneider, go to http://www.digitaltake.com/guitar/
