Was brilliant  ...  he played a black wooden M1 tricone with a white headstock .and built in pickup. sounded really good .
He used in standard and various open tuning's  
the tricone sounded soooo sweet...

I like Doug Macleod,
Did he just use the tricone be for the whole gig?

Only one guitar ~ Doug now tours with the black wood-bodied tricone (called 'Moon') - I think he has a phobia about travelling with more than one instrument!

Slide On!

I have known of Doug Macleod for many years, but not as a solo acoustic blues performer. Doug was a bass player, a songwriter and a columnist for Blues Revue. His most famous song is "Songbird" that the late Eva Cassidy recorded. Doug also used to have a radio show and back in 2001, if my memory is correct, he played tracks from my album, King Guitar. I am sure I have a quote from him somewhere.

I think it is only in recent years that he has been coming to Europe. I look forward to seeing a show and hopefully meeting him someday. Everybody speaks highly of him.

Shine On

Thanks Ian,
I love that! I’m trying to go with the one man one guitar vibe, but l kind of feel obliged to vary the sound. I try and use open G all of the time because my Reso is a bit temperamental with different tunings; but, l do use quite a few different keys.

Doug is truly awesome in all aspects, guitarist, singer and songwriter!
Been a hero of mine for many years now.
Never seen him play live before but we're playing at the same festival in Estonia next weekend so I hope to get a chance to hear him play and perhaps jam some, haha!
Looking forward very much!
