I loved this one. Such a pretty arrangement and so beautifully done! I think I remember you from an M20 demo on Youtube. You are an incredibly talented guitarist!

Incredible playing usb_chord! You are truly a gifted musician.

I wished I had 1% of the talent displayed in this entire thread.

Thanks to the folks that have posted so far.

Hi Brian,

Man, that sounds totally awesome! And imagine, this is your composition! Very, very cool piece, great playing, and what an incredible sounding guitar!

You have leaped forward in playing ability since I last heard you play, and you always were good!

Fantastic!

- Glenn

Thank you Robin, most appreciated.
I started playing guitar when in college back in 1991/2, but got bounced around a number of different teachers due to changing circumstances, so for many years, I didn't do anything with my singing except for a few talent quests here and there. I only had a few songs up my sleeve, so it didn't really go anywhere.
Then, 5yrs ago, my niece asked me to play at her wedding, and I had to learn a new song. In that time, I've added about 60 new songs, started performing locally at several local restaurants/breweries/markets etc and now have an audition this coming Saturday to be the lead male vocal in a show band playing contemporary country rock, so things have certainly been moving forward at a frantic pace!!

Default Post a clip of you playing your favorite guitar :)

Not my favorite, but fun to have a $5 guitar sitting out all winter. A 1960s Harmony Broadway

I'll see your 12-string and raise you a . . . well, it's still a 12-string.

I didn't build it to be my "go to" guitar, just wanted the experience. I wasn't expecting it to blow the rest of my collection away!
Wonderful voice, terrific song well played on a great sounding guitar. The whole package. Very nicely done.

Everyone sounds great and I am very jealous. I've been playing the same crappy songs since 1970, but here is my daughter playing my current favorite guitar. A Redwood/Maple Martin 00 size with a Stauffer head that I just finished building about 3 months ago. A little tune, then a very cool song by Gillian Welch

Both me and my daughter managed to catch a massive cold.

Not much of a player but based on the current sick-mood i though i could do a qick n dirty version of ”nobody know’s you when you’re down and out” since thats pretty much how my body is feeling at the moment.
Sorry for only using the phone but that was all i had close by.
