Great to see a post from you beaker... sounded pretty cool although I don't know the song. The neck of your guitar seems pretty wide... is that just the optical effect of being side on and close to the camera.. or is it wide-necked.

Beaker sounds great, very fast moving! I think I first heard this song whem I went to see Stills with MarkM last fall, now I listen to it quite often.

Hi Beaker,

I haven't heard this tune in a while so I can't remember exactly how it goes. I will say though, I enjoyed your version. Real nice playing and picking.

Thanks for sharing

Bob

Thank you for the comments everyone, after I asked Neil for advice on the tuning of this song, then I wanted to show Neil (& everyone) the fruits of my playing.
Chris, my neck is 1 3/4 inch. It is wider than than some guitars which are often 1 11/16th of an inch. the difference is only 1/16th of an inch up it is quite noticeable. But , yes, the camera angle may also make it look wider ( or maybe someone slipped something in your coffee!) .... kidding. Thanks again, Beaker.

What a workout.. Great job Beaker!

I saw someone do this love on a 12 string and it blew me away.

Thanks for sharing.
