#RobertCassard #MakeItLast #LifeInsideEP dedicated to Bara Waters Official Lyric Video for the song "Make It Last" from the EP "Life Inside" Written, produced, and performed by Robert Cassard Mastered by Enrico de Paoli / Incrivel Mundo Studio Video by Waters & Cassard ©2023 Pentacle Records MAKE IT LAST You come a shepherd to a black sheep the spirit hills you haunt and you’re bound to ask the question wondering what do you want? I fell in love so quickly my vintage iconoclast wondering if we could make it last The shore seems very distant the tides a bitch to ride threatening to throw me in feeling safe inside I never could imagine while clinging to the mast how easy it would be to make it last With sunny reputation the skies were overcast How easy would it be despite my vanity And with no guarantee One and one makes you right now I guess I can share for nine and though we’re not alone somehow we share this sacred wine I look to you for recall my days of future passed how easy it will be to make it last how easy it will be to make it last make it last last... ©1999 Robert Cassard / Flutter the Dovecote ▶CASSARD WEBSITES◀ Guitar Discoveries: https://www.guitardiscoveries.com/ Cosmic Spin (Band): https://cosmic-spin.com/ Hi, my name is Robert Cassard.

#guitarkit #kitguitar #telecasterkit "First-takes-only" blues jam on a customized Tele-style kit guitar. My daughter Avalon built and hand-painted the killer cowboy-themed Tele we call the "Lassocaster." Watch the building and customization here: https://youtu.be/9tOYOq7WdO0 The raw materials came from a StewMac T-Style guitar kit for UNDER $200. Check out its quintessential Tele tone on the "Lassocaster Blues." This entire jam was recorded in 10 minutes: One-take RHYTHM GUITAR track with the neck pickup, warts and all. One-take LEAD GUITAR track with the bridge pickup (plenty more warts). One-take BASS track on a vintage P-Bass (bigger warts). Hey — anything can happen when you're out ropin' and ridin'... I love this unique axe from Avalon Cassard and AC Guitars. What do you think?

#blowininthewind #bobdylancover #dadgadtuning Buy a DADGAD Capo here: https://amzn.to/37QiU3y Update of Bob Dylan's 1962 classic, played and sung by Robert Cassard. DADGAD partial capo on a Martin LX1e travel guitar. One of the coolest alternate guitar tunings is DADGAD. When strummed open, it's the sound of a Dsus4 chord, and it has a wonderful Celtic feel. Easy hand positions let you weave a magical spell, even for players with limited experience. Another way to get the sound of DADGAD is to lay a partial capo across the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings at the 2nd fret. Suddenly, standard tuning is DADGAD tuning, raised up a whole step. While on the road again, my DADGAD Partial Capo and Martin LX1e travel guitar inspired me to resurrect Bob Dylan's classic song from 1962.

#SunnySkies #James Taylor #MartinTravelGuitar I took my Martin LX1e travel guitar on another trip. This time we hit Michigan and Chi-town, where Bara and I enjoyed a gorgeous summer evening concert featuring First Aid Kit and Lord Huron. All the beautiful sunny weather inspired me to resurrect an old James Taylor nugget from the Sweet Baby James LP: Sunny Skies. See and hear why I bring either the LX1e or my Martin Backpacker every single time I travel. ▶ MARTIN LX1e TRAVEL GUITAR ("BABY MARTIN")◀ https://amzn.to/2BYqKtN ▶ ORDER BLACK MOUNTAIN SPRING-LOADED THUMB PICKS ◀ https://blackmountainpicks.com/ My favorite thumb-pick in medium gauge.

#jamestaylor #carolinainmymind #babymartin No idea how I lived this long without ever visiting beautiful North Carolina. While staying with our friend Kappi in Wilmington, I couldn't resist breaking out my Martin LX1e travel guitar ("Little Martin" or "Baby Martin") to sing and play two quintessential James Taylor tunes. Hear me attempt "Carolina in My Mind" and "Isn't It Nice to be Home Again," while Kappi and her dog Gigi get an impromptu living room concert.

#LesPaulCopy #CheapLesPaul #LesPaulKnockoff Can a $250 Les Paul copy sound any good? If it's a Jay Turser, the answer is probably YES. Legend has it that Jay Turser electric guitars from the 90s and early 2000s were made in Asia under the strict quality control guidelines of a British luthier, perhaps Jay Turser himself. Whether or not the lore is true, I've now played enough Tursers to know that they can be spectacular for the price. I own two of them and they compare to high-end guitars many times their price. In this video I resurrect my son Eli's long-neglected JT-220D, which languished in its case for the past decade largely due to my guilt at having broken its neck in an easily avoidable accident. Watch and listen as I cover Donovan's 1966 hit "Sunshine Superman" and learn to love this abused, underrated and long-neglected axe. ▶ ORDER BLACK MOUNTAIN SPRING-LOADED THUMB PICKS ◀ https://blackmountainpicks.com/ My favorite thumb-pick in medium gauge.
