Default Deep River Blues

A great tune made popular by Doc Watson on his first solo album. Hope you like my take on it, on the nylon!

That's certainly a classic and you played it well. A nice even touch.

The audio was fine but one suggestion is to work on your video. Would be more interesting to see both hands. Nevertheless, it was a good performance.

Thanks, Phil and Barry.
I don’t quite get the same good resonant sound if I Back the iPad away from me, but I’ll see if it’ll work better if I record in another room...maybe in the bath tub...lol

I figured that was the reason. Hard to avoid all the background noise if the mic is too far away. Still sounded nice tho

Nicely done, my only criticism is not showing both hands. I have messed with this one a time or 2 and it's always nice to see the chord shapes used.

Nice job, Chuck!

I'm trying to build a repertoire of "recognizable" instrumentals, and I have a simple arrangement of this great tune under construction. You've given me some inspiration

Very nice job on this great old song Chuck!

I really enjoyed that and enjoyed the nylon string sound, too!

Thank you, Mark, Bob, and Glenn! I’ll post more tunes later showing both hands. That arrangement (other than the low variation) is mostly from a guitar book from the 1970’s by Bob Baxter,,it might still be around on different buy & sell forums.
