    Wow, that was really good. I can only imagine all the work it took to get that down.

    Thanks fellas. I know fingerpickers mostly just have an audience of . . . well---other fingerpickers, so I appreciate the kind words and your tolerating me. I promise that next time I post a song it will have words!

    Very nice!  I wish I could play as well as you.  I just bought a Cordoba classical guitar a little while ago - my fingerstyle has improved, but it's not on your level Nice job - thanks for posting.

    Hey that was so good I hardly thought of Sammy once during the song -- beautifully played and recorded.  I also play like that ------------- IN MY DREAMS.
    Good luck,

    Meet The Barnacles
    (not the Fab Four but the Terrible Three)
     
     
    Captain Able was once again manning the bridge on the mightly Songship as it plowed through the putrid soundwaves on the roiling -- but never rocking -- Sea of Sterile Pastiche.  Suddenly, Able heard an all too familiar sound coming from the hull of the ship -- an irritating droning croaking whiny sound that cheapened the senses.  Able quickly covered his ears while shouting to his navigator "It's those damned Barnacles -- they're trying to sully and sink the Songship.  Full speed ahead!"
     
    Down below, The Barnacles -- Blahpoop, Steryl69, and Synkophant -- were desperately attempting to cling to the Songship in order to sink the towering song vessel.  And, as usual, they were accompanied by their faithful floating beta consorts, The Attaboys, led by Dymm with assistance from EphYOU.
     
    As The Barnacles attached their tentacles to the hull of the Songship, they unleashed  a torrent of (f)artless lyrics which were delivered in a tuneless -- although auto-tuned -- fashion.  These dirges, sung without style, were accompanied by tinker toy faux reggae sounds which were grounded by thumps.  The Attaboys circled and cooed encouragement in the murky waters surrounding the Songship.
     
    Able called out for the crew to ready for battle.  Soon, the air on deck sparkled as the Songship's crew played melodic song after song in various styles and arrangements.  Tuneful vocals singing well-versed lyrics rang out with resonance and interesting phrasing.  There was no need for auto-tune and the like.  Confronted again with the Songship's lack of banality, The Barnacles were driven into a furor.  Their only was to increase the volume of their monkey-like screeching.  In the midst of this cacophony The Attaboys -- having been given strict orders through underwater sonar messaging -- fell silent.
     
    Nearly overcome by the mediocrity assaulting his ears, Captain Able deftly guided the Songship away from the area where The Attaboys were floating.  He then ordered the crew to increase the melodic sounds emanating from the deck.  Overcome by contact with actual talent, The Barnacles could not sustain their attack and fell from the hull into the swirling soundwave abyss. The Attaboys, floating leaderless, continued to comment amongst themselves about The Barnacles' greatness, but to no avail.  The Barnacles lay quiet at the bottom of the Sea of Sterile Pastiche, brought down once again by their own banality.
     
    The Songship continued gliding into fresher waters guided by the most able Captain Able as new sounds were carried by fresh breezes across the newly christened Sea of Good Songs.

    When I was in the USAF band I used a Gibson Chet Atkins CE solidbody Classical for combo gigs for awhile. I ended up using my archtop solely after awhile. I had a Ramirez for the solo guitar gigs. I didn't need to drag around an amp with it 
     
     I love the sound of your Godin. Very nice! More! I (WE) want more!

    Thanks fellas. Yeah, that Godin does sound real nice. I don't think anyone would ever know it wasn't mic'ed. It's the first pickup system I've ever used that really did sound like a good mic.
     
    By the way, I'll be playing at the Indiana State Fingerstyle Guitar Festival in Nashville, Indiana in July. if anybody else here is going, look me up at the gig.

    Wayfarer,
     
    Really well executed, just starting to dabble more with fingerpicking so know how much effort went into this piece.  That guitar sounds awesome too.

    Regards

    Freakin' awesome!    
     
    Just IMO of course, but record-worthy.   And not just the physical technique but your musical choices.

    Amazing work!
    Closed my eyes so I didn't have to see how hard you were working there (although it was cool to "see" you playing it just the same)..
     
    Love your version!  Good for the soul...
    Kudos!

    Thanks again fellas. Live is what it's all about for me. YouTube gives you at least the potential for a big audience aside from playing gigs in the real world, (which is where the money's at.) I don't have anything against places like Soundcloud or Bandlab (I have this song posted as an audio recording at Bandlab too), but I've never met anyone outside of this forum who ever heard of those places, so performing more or less live on YT seems like the best solution for us in my humble opinion. Lord knows I spend enough time there myself almost every day watching musicians play.
