Default Teja Gerken - "Paradise Valley" (while social distancing)

Here's a video of my tune "Paradise Valley," shot yesterday, outdoors, in Fairfax, California. My contribution to the efforts to continue to play when all gigs are canceled or postponed!

Gear is as follows:

1999 Lowden O10 guitar in CGCGCD tuning.
Video shot with a Zoom Q2n.
Audio is a blend of AKG C1000S mic and Baggs Anthem SL pickip, recorded with a Korg MR-1000 recorder (runs on batteries), and minimally processed in Apple Logic.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks T. Great piece. I don't know if it's my computer or the link but I couldn't open it here. I got it directly from YouTube. If anyone else is having trouble with the link, it is below.

Fantastic, a welcome dose of positive karma! That tuning sounds made for that guitar.

The link is working for me. Probably a gremlin in the system.

Fabulous video. Love the clouds slowly wafting across the sky. Had to time the light of the day just right. I'm amazed at the quality of audio you got in an open field.

Great !

(except for the pink pants. What's with those?)
