Here is a rendition of Ain't No Grave in Drop D tuning. I really like how the Drop D tuning adds an even more somber mood to this song and pumps up the baseline. I am loving the new Gibson and it really shines in this tuning as it rumbles out the low tones. Bud

Nice job Bud! Sounds like an old Negro Spiritual. I think you might like "One Kind Favor" by Peter, Paul and Mary. Thanks for the enjoyable post.

Great job Buddy. What model Gibson did you get? I bought a 1968 J-45 last year, I find myself grabbing it over my Martin.

Hey Buddy,
I like your music! Can I request a Johnny Cash song please. Not sure I've heard you sing one of his songs yet but I'll bet money that it will sound great B)
Please and Thank you....

Thanks Buddy! I actually remember you posting all 3 of those. Especially love hearing you play & sing "Hurt". Your voice is perfect in that song. It's great in all of them but man oh man, you can really pull them off.
