Great playing Rick. You have so much more talent than I on the guitar.

Wow... that was AWESOME! You rock on the guitar!
Post some more cool playing.
BTW, have you ever heard the version of "A Mighty Fortress is our God" that "The White Horse Inn" used as their music between commercial breaks?
I would love to hear you do that one.

No, I haven't-- not sure if it's broadcast in my area (mpls/ st.Paul?). Awesome hymn, no doubt.

Very nice. What did you track it with/to?
Do you mean how I recorded it? My brother has some computer software to record straight into his PC, which he can burn to a CD. The levels were a little too high, as you can hear it peaking out at points and distorting, but overall it turned out okay.
Oh, and here's the guitar.....

That is just awesome. Glorious!
do you take requests???
Ever heard John Hartford's song "Presbyterian Guitar" ?
It is a beaut and might be very appropriate on here.

It's gorgeous. Do you ever play nylon?

Never heard of that one. What album is it on?
My first guitar was a Yamaha classical that I still have tucked away in my basement (the intonation is horrible on it now). I used that classical guitar for everything from fingerpicking to Led Zeppelin until my dad bought me an electric guitar when I was 15-- at which point the Zeppelin started sounding better.

Sounded great to me! Ahhhh the sound of steel strings reverberating through wood. Nothing like it.

Keep up the good work. Jamming with other guitar players really helps too. The great thing about folk/bluegrass stuff is there's jam sessions almost everywhere you go.

It's sapele, which is related to mahogany. Martin traditionally used Honduran mahogany for their guitars but those days are pretty much over. You can tell the difference by the stripes-- otherwise they sound the same, nice, punchy, woody tone.

It's a great little tune, isn't it? Mine is based off Norman Blake's version. I saw Doc Watson last September and man did he rip it up!
