There's nothing like pickin' a little guitar on the back porch! I wanted to get a little more grit out of this old vintage resonator, so I plugged my 12-Bar Blues reso pickup into this old re-purposed drive-in movie theater speak guitar amp and it gave the tone the perfect amount of retro dirt. This amp was build for me by my buddy Patrick Mallette at Maddog Cigar Box Guitars, who also builds some killer guitars out of license plates. I was having so much fun with this combo, that I had to share

• Over 10 Minutes of Laid-Back Acoustic Blues Guitar to Escape To • Whatever's going on in the world, nothing helps me relax more than sitting back on the porch, picking some slow, meandering blues. One of my favorite guitars to take outside & kick back with is my new P20E Parlor guitar from PRS. It's got that down-home bluesy tone, and is compact enough to be comfortable anywhere. TUNING: Standard Tuning Down a Half-Step: Eb-G#-C#-F#-Bb-Eb GEAR: • PRS Guitars SE Parlor P20E: https://www.prsguit

How bout some "blues"grass? 😄 The mandolin always has such a rootsy, back-porch vibe, and I've never understood why more people don't use it for blues music. My mandolin was staring at me from the corner this morning with that look like, "why haven't you played me, lately?" so I dusted it off and started fingerpicking some Robert Johnson "Love in Vain." I've never tried fingerpicking on the mandolin before, mainly because it's so small, it's in a high register, and the strings are so close toge

Nothin' feels more like Summertime than grabbin' an acoustic guitar, sitting down by the edge of the lake, and fingerpicking some good old, laid-back, country blues. This new P20E Parlor guitar from PRS Guitars is perfect for that backporch tone and feel, and I tuned the strings down to a drop-C tuning to give them a slinky bluesy touch.
