Been awhile since I uploaded anything. Here is an original tune I just came up with. The guitar is a 2006 Orchestra Model w/ Pre-war Bracing Sitka spruce top with Mahogany Back and sides. I am recording from the camcorders onboard microphone with no processing or editing. This guitar is so much greater than the sum of its parts. It's Got Mojo for sure!! Once again I exceeded the megs to use the uploader so the YouTube link is:

I swear that could have been a long lost Tom Petty song! Nice guitar BTW.

That was really good! I'm impressed not only with the song itself, but your fingerpicking (rock solid tempo and never missed a note), and singing at the same time. That's a wonderful skill. As always, you look so happy when performing.
Well done!
Lynn

Dermot - Thanks for the chuckle! - Lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.

Teddy Roosevelt said it better though.....

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
