thanks! I tried to play this note for note as close to Martin's tab as possible, so all embellishments are Martin's - I can't take credit for those!

Really lovely, beautiful voicings, perhaps worth noting originally written in the key of C and shown here in A (capo'd), without capo as G like the notation in Martin's TAB shows. I do like this version very much and it offers great fingering!

Wonderful! You've done Martin proud! Beautiful tone from that GS Mini, too!

Beautiful arrangement and quite a sound off that wee guitar!

I watched a few of your other videos - what make/model is that dreadnought you use?

Beautiful. That Koa certainly produces a nice warm sound as well. Well played.

The dreadnought is a Tanglewood Sundance TW1000. It's been interesting to compare tone and sound between the two guitars. I think maybe the Tanglewood dreadnought has a fuller tone..? I'm not sure. Apparently the GS mini koa guitars mature over time and the sound becomes more full, so I'm hoping it may become more rich in tone over time..

Do it! I find Martin's arrangement really makes good and intuitive use out of standard tuning - it was interesting to learn the range of voicings and licks he gets from it in G.

I think so, sometimes I wonder if it could be lacking a bit in fullness of sound, but apparently the koa wood matures over time, so I'm hoping the tone will become more rich over time....

Who need a Hammond organ when you can play a guitar like that! Very, very nice.
