I love it Jim,,keep the Dylan songs coming.

Hi Jim. You were channeling Dylan there man. If I closed my eyes your voice sounded pretty Dylanesque to me. You obviously love the Dylan stuff.

Thanks to all for watching & commenting!

Hi Daryl - good advice on the strumming - I will keep working on it. I did upgrade my recording setup to a low cost dynamic mic and 4 channel mixer both from radio shack and recommended a while ago by dan/wrench. And I have a pickup for my gs-mini. I will try it with various volume levels on the mix.

Marc - good suggestion - I never think to play along with the record. I'll try it.

Willem - I actually took a couple of dylan workshops from a local guitar teacher and have arrangements for 20 dylan songs. For this song, I have an arrangement for a lead guitar also. So, yes, I will be posting more dylan songs.

Tony - I do love the dylan songs and have listened to them so much it's easier for me to remember the lyrics and phrasings! And your video of the Church song was great - Sorry for not commenting on it

Agree with Daryl here....and nice job on channelling that Dylan voice Jim!

Jim, I think you started out a bit rushed so at first the voice and strumming were not in synch. Then you relaxed a bit and things settled in to make a better match between the two. May I suggest you try to vary your attack on the strings, not hitting all of them on each strum ?
I appreciate Dylan greatly, good thing for you to sing it. It's a pleasure to see you coming along with this type of tune !

Chris - thanks for watching

Pierre - good comments - I did feel like I relaxed as I went on, perhaps i should start with an intro. good comment on hitting less strings - I will try that also.

Hey Jim. Nice to see a new video form you. Is that a pick you're using now. Good job expanding your attack.

You really DO sound like Dylan. You've got his intonation down and everything.

Keep them coming.

Hey michele - thanks for the comment! Yes, I am trying to use a pick these days, except for the uke where I can attack with the index finger. I noticed your uke party has been quiet lately

Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice"

Returning after a long hiatus with several uploads today. All of these were recorded directly from the camera mic in one take without any post-processing. That's the only way I seem able to make time for this.

I first learned Chet Atkins' arrangement of this song, but don't play it that way any more. This song is about a guitar accompanying pain and not about virtuousity, in my opinion.

Pardon the pyjamas.



PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

That was fabulous Stuart, Welcome back! What a great performance and so well sung... that Cat Stevens in you is pushing unmistakably through again. I really enjoyed that. Just the song to be sung alone in a man cave with pyjamas on .

PS: Just out of curiosity are your strings , shall we say, a little "vintage"? Not being rude, just checking my ears and perception.
