Thanks, Joe. Would certainly dig more kitchen table videos when you can work them in.
In other news, don't bother experimenting with different strings on that little carbon travel guitar; standard acoustic is the way to go. The nylon-wrapped made it sound plinky and gutless, which I should have guessed. I also slapped a $9 transducer pickup on the body to try direct, but there wasn't much point in that, either. Stock is as good as it gets -- which is serviceable enough, and good for the bread.
Yeah, the carbon fiber guitar served a purpose. I biked through some pretty hairy conditions: temp, precipitation, brutal shaking. That little guitar was steady all the way.
I left it with my buddy on the West Coast. I might need Part 2 of the trip.
Love the new video feature. And can listen to your playing and singing from a kitchen table for hours. Wait, I’ve done that a few times over the years!
As to video positioning, face over fingers any day of the week.
As to the song, I’ve been humming the melody for a good twenty minutes now, so another Joey P classic has been born.
How great would a song with lyrics fashioned from Bob’s convo be? It would be the Pernice Bros. version of “She’s Your Lover Now” - a tri-party discussion - but about produce!
Real nice one, Joe. Hints of Nick Lowe in your meter in all the right ways. Pleasing everybody. Great to see you leaning into those T and Z chords that Bob showed you back in the day.
Appreciate the well wishes, Joe. My voice is slowly on the mend and hopefully I’ll be back on the road next week. I look forward to a meet up if the schedules can align- been ages. I wouldn’t aim to get too friendly with any of this tech but Substack does seem to have a touch of “the old internet” for the time being and it was nice to find you were here as well. Looking forward to your country record as it shapes up.
Bob story is true. Though I have zero nerves when it comes to singing alone in front of strangers I don’t think I could bullshit a person like that & keep a straight face.
I recommend Oolimo if you really want to figure out what you’re playing. I was looking at an old lyric this week, could not for the life of me remember what chord my Bsus4 notation was for and had to look it up.
Yes! I'm all for videos. I guess starting college at the same time as M-TV began back in the day makes me appreciate seeing people (as opposed to just hearing them) counts for an extra point. Love the video AND the song. :)
Also glad that I’m not the only person whose thumb hangs over the E string when playing cowboy chords in first position. The next time my musician friends scold me I’ll tell them it’s good enough for Joe Pernice…
That’s funny. To be honest, my thumb hangs less so when I’m not contorted to fit in the camera frame. But feel free to tell your friends I’m an unabashed thumb hanger.

Love the idea. Great to watch you playing. Thank you!
Cheers. Thanks for listening.

Ambitious. Though produce as a subject has a lot of potential. I’ll ruminate.
Thanks for listening & chiming in.

Joel. I didn’t know you were here. I suppose I should become freinds with the technology & maybe check who is bouncing around.
Thanks for the comment. Hoping you’re feeling better soon. We should meet up even briefly when you pass through Toronto.

nice, mate!! and ha ha ha ha's on the bob story!! ha ha.
Thanks, Clarke.

Love it! 🎶
Cheers, Kevin
This is so great! Can you list the chords?
Well, if I knew what they all were…
I recommend Oolimo if you really want to figure out what you’re playing. I was looking at an old lyric this week, could not for the life of me remember what chord my Bsus4 notation was for and had to look it up.
OTOH, if it ain’t broke…
Yes! I'm all for videos. I guess starting college at the same time as M-TV began back in the day makes me appreciate seeing people (as opposed to just hearing them) counts for an extra point. Love the video AND the song. :)
Love the video. It’s a keeper for me.
