Sometimes the song finds you.
When I was younger I would read interviews with guitarists talking about a specific song and the guitar they wrote it on. They would say something along the lines of “this song was made for this guitar,” or “this song was in the guitar, and I just stumbled upon it.” At the time, I didn’t really get it.
Over the years I’ve slowly amassed a modest collection of musical gear. I am a bit of a pack rat by nature, but when it comes to gear, I am worse. There are probably 13 patch chords that need a resoldering just laying around. This means I have a few guitars, each with a unique sound and feel. Sometimes, I’ll come up with a song on 1 guitar, knowing in the end, it will be played on another.
I came across Felicity ( 91-93? Gibson 135) in 09 by way of Amarillo, Tx. Sitting at home, running her through my Marshall, this just kinda came out.
Its definitely a keeper, it will need some time to evolve though. Kinda makes me feel like a poor man’s John Scofield.
