Steve Winwood Has Deep Feels

[TurboPablo]

This version still absolutely cuts me down.

So heavy.

Love Steve Winwood.

Always wanted to do a Stoner / Doom version of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" . Something kinda with an Electric Wizard kinda sound lol.

[Beef]

Very cool, that's a great version. I've always thought Steve Winwood was completely awesome.

[TurboPablo]

I love that he is playing it with the low E tuned down to D. Makes it's roll a lot heavier.

The binding on that acoustic is gorgeous.

[Telephant]

That looks like a 000-42 to me. I used to have a D-42 but that abalone binding got old real fast. Its just too much for my tastes.

[TurboPablo]

Yeah, I can see it being something nice on someone else's guitar.

Not that I would kick it out of bed or anything.

[Telephant]

I wouldn't kick it out of bed either. They still sound phenomenal, as they should, being Martins top of the line!

The closest I've ever gotten to Steve Winwood was being in a bar on Santa Catalina Island when Spencer Davis walked in. Gil Torres does a one man band show of classic rock tunes at Luau Larry's. Spencer Walks in, busts out a harmonica, and they break into Give Me Some Lovin'. This was like 6 years ago. Gil let me get up and improv sing some 12 bar blues while he jammed. Spencer Davis comes up to me afterward and says :British accent: "Hey man, that was pretty fucking good." Having had Steve Winwood as a singer... he would know!

Steve Winwood's voice is insanely unique. One of those rich authentic sounds that defines rock and roll. I miss rock and I wasn't even alive when it was really happening.
