Milo does some unorthodox and original things on his recordings. Great version of OBS, without a hint of repeat echo to add notes. Its all him. We want more!!

Great!!!!, I just hope it doesn't get any HOTTER here in Dallas, no telling what Milo will do next!......As a side note, almost all the bands I play with in & around DFW,that have a CD, Milo is on it, what a bundle of talent he has..if growing your hair long make ya play like that, well, I'm starting today~!!!.......#1 fan Here..

David, I tried growing my hair out long, all 5 of them. Didn't help.

David Wright · Post by **David Wright** » 20 Aug 2011 8:14 am

Great, Tommy has 5, and plays the way he does, so I figure I will just let 5 grow long, a cross between Tommy & Milo, really ain't a bad thing!!!!! now, Tommy, just where are these 5 hairs at on your head..

so I can get started!!!

Milo, absoloutely superb playing on that turquoise Carter. Phenominal fiddle playing too, and the blurb of lead guitar we heard. Love the "wink" you give us lesser mortals at the end of your performances

Good on you

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the nice comments. Now if we could just get a little rain here or maybe a cool breeze.....

That was awesome Milo. You have such incredible talent on anything with strings attached!
I dont think we are getting any rain till hurricane season, but if you keep playin like that youre sure to whip up a breeze!

Milo,,that's a great version of OBS..I think it's the first time I have ever heard it played on the bass strings to the extent that you are doing it...Just super!! I like the tone you are getting out that guitar too.....Carson

Milo

Up here in Montreal it was 28 C (approx. 85 degrees) today, no humidity, nice cool breeze all the time...beer up here has a real taste compared to American beer, and it's free...for a lesson or two.

Fantastic and entertaining video and music. Your invited anytime.

Agreed on all counts....I've heard some of the best pickers in Nashville smoke that tune...and I'd have to say that you out-smoke ALL of 'em.

Absolutely unbelievable talent.

Goes to show you how far out of the loop I am. I didn't know much about Milo but I do now. Great job Milo. Your note selection/choice is very good.

Dick Wood · Post by **Dick Wood** » 21 Aug 2011 11:04 am

Oh great,so now I have to get a hair transplant to play like Milo? Where will the spending ever end?

Paddy Long · Post by **Paddy Long** » 21 Aug 2011 4:23 pm

Milo outstanding playing mate, not hard to see why your in such demand on sessions in Texas.

I just booked in for hair extensions

Joe Alterio · Post by **Joe Alterio** » 21 Aug 2011 4:47 pm

Of course, playing like that is one thing....being able to tab it out is something that would REALLY separate you from the rest.

Pete Burak · Post by **Pete Burak** » 21 Aug 2011 4:53 pm

I worked on those hammer-on's alot yesterday.
So far I think I've got a handle on hammer-on lick "1-A" (the descending intro).
Funn Stuff!

Milo Deering · Post by **Milo Deering** » 21 Aug 2011 6:36 pm

Joe,

I've never done anything with TAB before but I guess it's about time. I'll take a shot at it.

Milo,I live just east of Longview.Believe me I know what hot has been this year.I saw a fire hydrant chasing my dog.My apple trees are dying.Got any more of that kinky steel? Thats great stuff.LOL

Elton Smith · Post by **Elton Smith** » 22 Aug 2011 6:20 pm

By the way ,what type of bar are you using to play that with? Thanks Elbo

Milo Deering · Post by **Milo Deering** » 22 Aug 2011 8:31 pm

Thanks Elton! The bar I'm using is an MSA bar with plastic inlaid grips. I really like the feel of it.

I'm going to watch that again. Then maybe again.

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 29 Aug 2011 5:34 am

I put on a hoodie, and my playing got alot better right away. Thanx for that little secret, Milo!! Gonna try the "wink" technique next. James
