Since I am trying to flatpick, listening to the song, that i like very much, i was thinking "it's not my job if two guys can play like this as a joke".
Reading I understand that you are serious playeers ;)
I love this thing! At some point, I want to take Hugh to Toys-R-Us and pick up two of them and then re-release all of our tunes on the kids guitars...Imagine the Toys -R-Us version of Eyes of the World, Terrapin Station, and Help/Slip/ Franklin's....We could take that show on the road!
I assume you're talking about the guitar on the right??? It's not a classical guitar- it's a Martin New Yorker (steel string). While we're on the topic, I sometimes like to play a classical guitar with a pick. Thanks for checking in.
Yeah, that ol' Martin 016-NY has been a mainstay in my herd of guitars for over 30 years. I recently put her out front-line action (acoustic that is) as it has started to show some wear and tear problems. Terrific little guitar.
Such a great song... one of my folk favorites, with beautiful lyrics. Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia they all played it, and your version is on par with these ! I love the spirit with which you play these songs.
Hey, from a 35 year veteran teacher/successful owner of a music school...don't start the guitar too young. Start w/piano/keyboard! Chk out website music-instruction.
Thanks for the professional input. We have a piano, keyboards, xylophones, guitars and percussion galore and none of it is being pushed on her. Hannah plays what she wants to play when she wants to play it. She is very interested in my Martins and PRS so I got her the First Act. I agree, piano is the place to start the wee ones!!!!
I am in high degree. Not too shabby.

It's funny my little bro has got the same 30 dollar guitar and back when I only had an electric I would play Dead songs on it and it wasn't so bad!

it was good, but why use a plectrum with a classical guitar?

oh, my mistake. it looked like a classical because of the wide fretboard and the style of the tuning switches. good job though man!
