Busking arlo guthrie
Hey Jim,,looks you got your gear together and there you go uploading again,thats great and i think we gonna hear great tunes from you in the further,,i read all the other posters and you got great super advise,,soooooooooo,,,,keep them coming..
Jim,
It's good to see and hear you posting again. It looked like a lot of fun. Your strumming was nice and regular. I couldn't really hear your singing, as others have said. But, now that you've got your new equipment and the great advice from the others re: position and such, you can fiddle with it until you're happy with it.
Good job.

Thanks also to darryl, jay, cori, willem, buddy, bob, michele for your comments - It's always educational to do a video and one comes out of the experience with lots of things to work on from picking & singing to positioning the mike and processing the video - I will keep at it - Thanks for the encouragement.
As for the song, Hoyt Axton wrote a number of familiar songs from Joy to the World (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog) to "The Pusher" from Easy Rider, to Greenback Dollar and Ringo's No-No Song and another Three Dog night song, Never Been to Spain
I haven't been able to find Hoyt Axton's version of Lightning Bar Blues, but there are version on youtube by Arlo Guthrie, Junkyard Dogs, and a Finnish band called Hanoi Rocks

One of the songs I am working on now:
Hobo's Lullaby - as done by Arlo Guthrie - written by Goebel Reeves - it was earlier done by Woody Guthrie also.
I am trying to focus here on the singing more than the guitar part .
I hope, eventually to re-do it with finger picking.

Jim, Great song for you to work on. Your strumming and chord changing have taken a quantum leap as has your singing! It's obvious to me that you weren't thinking about your strumming - it was just happening all by itself. Way to go! And I think your vocals in this song were your best I have heard from you. They still need some work. But since I can't carry a tune I won't begin to offer any suggestions. Hopefully, Vanessa or Bill or Chris or others will chime in. I'd love to hear an update with this song in a month or so. OK?

Daryl & Kevin,
Thanks for the comments and encouragement. There are lots of areas to work on in these attempts to learn guitar. Sometimes, I seem to spend more time on the singing than the guitar parts. I do hope to get a version with finger picking and improved singing one of these days.
