Oh yes, he actually sent me some stuff at 30 minutes too, it was really good then too.

PLEASE everyone, use headphones so you can really hear this thing. I told Steve when he was playing the hymns he has such full sounding fingerings and bass lines that it sounds like an organ playing, so full and rich sounding.

I was listening to the hymn that Paul Simon used for American tune and thought boy, Paul Simon sure stole that hymn for that song once I figured out where I knew the tune from, but I guess it was common knowledge to others except me haha. I also heard the Starland Vocal Band (Afternoon Delight) do a version of this in 4 part harmony (no band) and it was fantastic!

Thanks again Ryan for the clips and Steve for playing around with it for me! I think a lot of people want to hear these at the end of the builds and rarely do we get the chance.

The first track is one of Tom's faves, an open G tuning of Randy Scruggs' version of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now. Then two nice fingerstyle songs that fit under the hand well, and the last is the hymn that Paul Simon used as the backing to his American Tune.









Thanks for listening!

Nice sounding guitar -- and solid playing as well. I especially enjoyed the first and fourth tracks.

Beautiful music coming out of my computer . Credit to the builder and player who, in this case, happen to be the same person! Way to go Steve.

Tom, I think this is definitely going to be a keeper!

Instead of the sound clips, all I see on my screen are 4 white rectangles. Anyone know why?

Haha, I will talk with Kathy about this. She is unaware of the value of these guitars (not cuz I am hiding it, but because she is so perfect, she never asks!!!!), so you may be able to just stop by when I am gone and ask her for it!!!!

I am not sure, they seem to be working for me and others...If you go back a page and look at the original posting, maybe those would work? He is a link to the actual soundcloud page which may work for you....I really want you to hear it! https://soundcloud.com/kinnaird-guit...an-rosewood-om

I am glad you were here too David and I am sure Steve and Ryan feel the same. Thank you for your comments, I am very pleased that you like it! It means a lot to all involved. Like you do with your builds, I really appreciate the sound clips at the end of your builds (thanks again Steve)....brings it to a natural conclusion. Otherwise it is sort of like reading a 1000 page book only to find the last 20 pages missing at the end!!!!

Thanks Tom. The original links are blank too and I had to click on the Soundcloud link twice to get it to work.
The first time, I just got a blank Soundcloud page but I got there in the end.

Tom, I've known Dave for a while now, and he's partial to banjos...that have an accordion vibe.
