Here is a rendition of Play me by Neil Diamond. I decided to play this in open D tuning on my old Seagull cedar top guitar. I added a few twists to this since it is in open D tuning so let me know what you think.

Nice Buddy. Very nice. I liked the open-D voicings. Nice touch with the harmonics. That's a keeper. Thanks for posting.

Wow Bud, this is actually what I personally have been waiting for, performing wise this was really great and the best video I've seen from you!!!! (oh wait, I also loved your vid with your wife, 'You've got a friend'. )
Don't know the song, but the open D-tuning sounds just fantastic, combined with your vocals, I really enjoyed it, way to go Bud!!! :cheer:

Hi Buddy, I agree with everyone here that your voice was just perfect for singing this great Neil Diamond song. My daughter Claire is a huge Neil Diamond fan, I can't wait to let her hear this. You sang this lovely song with great feeling, well done! One of your best. Your guitar sounded so rich in open D tuning.

Bud your performances just get more and more professional. This is no exception.
I would have liked it to move along with a bit more tempo but that is a personal preference only and given the comments so far, I'm very much alone there. I couldn't do such a fine job I know that for sure.
