Ok, so I post a lot of videos, what can I say I love music :woohoo: !!!! Here is a rendition of Live Oak by Jason Isbell. I heard this tune the other day and love the acoustic guitar arrangement and the haunting beauty of the lyrics. I recorded this with the Saville OM (the more I play it the more I love it). I used the mic instead of plugging in so the more pure sound of the guitar could come through. I also added a little lead during the solo break. Let me know what you think and what will help move it along.

That's a great song Buddy... I really liked it a lot! Its perfect for you and you performed it really well on your fabulous Saville. I think you get the vocal and guitar balance just right on this one. My only suggestion would be to keep working on the right hand to refine your touch.... its been improving all along and on this song its good... and I still think this is the area where you can get a lot of refinement with a slightly softer, slightly more flowing touch. Recording quality is excellent, you and Al lead the field here. Well done!
