Post by: markj on January 21, 2023, 11:46:15 PM
No vocals. Just the Fourm VI, And Audix Mic, Just a touch of the K&k Double Helix mixed in.

Nice tribute. The clear harmonies and acoustic sound were hard to duplicate and take me back 50 years. Thanks for sharing.

I like it. You have something really going with that picking/strumming style.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Mike, I guess that's what 40+ years of self-taught noodling will get you. lol I used to be a drummer and I attribute some of my rhythm patterns to that fact. My buddy who has been playing out in a cover band for 40+ years asked me about it on more than one occasion. He's all, "how the hell do you do that? Are you starting on the off beat?" I'm like, I don't know, I just do it.   :roll :nana_guitar :guitar :beer

Well, I have been looking at the video focusing on your right hand. You seem to have a combination of three styles in one.
