Default "The Magic Potion" DADGAD Fingerstyle

I brushed off the shelter-in-place rust to shoot some new videos, including this version of my tune "The Magic Potion":



Played on my Martin Custom Shop OM, tuned to DADGAD. Recorded with a pair of Neumann KM-184 mics.

Wow, That sounded great, my thumbs already tired. Really nice playing, really nice sound, really nice recording, really nice video.

Nice light touch. Many downstrokes with the fingers. And upstrokes with the thumb. Lots of bass and volume. So great. Very fine. Mastery. Wow.

Teja, that was nice. Very difficult piece to play and your technical ability is so good. The tone of your OM is beautiful and you bring out it's very best.
