That was really great Bill, it all sounds fantastic again! No less. You always pick songs which fit your vocals just perfectly. Also a great solution of the high part in the 'chorus'-part (I take it that it was a bit too high to sing?), works really well.

Ness

P.S. The teasing Nessa in me can't resist: Why didn't you use a phonebook to sit on? I can't see your picking hand!!! :laugh: :laugh: Absolutely joking here, (like you did with me) but I just couldn't resist to tease you a little back. :P :laugh:

Ness,
I'm rolling on the floor laughing! :laugh: I love to be teased back. Thanks for your praise. You're right, I can't hit that high note in the chorus.

Explain what?
The harmonies!

Either you can sing multiple pitches simultaneously (a very impressive trick) or you have some "magic" going on.

Daryl,
I've got some electronic magic: TC Helicon Play Acoustic pedal. It adds harmonies that you pick (one high harmony, 2 voices high and low or two high, etc). It listens to the chords your guitar plays and adds the right harmony. Really a cool device. Check it out:

I really enjoyed that Bill. Your picking was especially nice; very fluid, crisp. Gosh that's a nice sounding and looking guitar.

I haven't been playing guitar much recently. This post makes me feel like doing just that

Very nice.

Great job all round Bill! Loved the chorus vocals and thanks for the gen on that, sounds like a great toy to play with. It works magic with your voice on this song. So, let me see, Santa needs to bring a looper, an E-guitar and now a Helicon PLay Acoustic gizmo.... I'll have to stop watching TG vids before it ruins me! :laugh:
