"Alabama" from Neil Young's Harvest Album - Acoustic Cover

[iadorenewyork1]

When guitarists use the body of the guitar as a percussive device -- great! You play and sing this song quite well.

I definitely see the acoustic guitar as a percussive instrument. Makes things more interesting.

Thanks for the comments

You're just angry because the South didnn't vote for nor support your Messiah

[christopherfarrell]

excellent

[fab006]

Holy S...!

Gotta learn that *_*

[JoshuaChristopher]

Hey, would you recommend picking up one of these Morgan Monroe M-15s? I'm looking for a nice acoustic guitar, and this one's got solid mahogany back and sides along with a solid spruce top. It just seems too good to be true for the price. Thoughts? Yours sounds great.

[theMonk1]

Yeah they're good guitars. The ebony fretboard is great as is the fret work. They are a little more heavily built than the other pac rim brands. But that's not a bad thing. This one has been modified by shaving some of the bracing down to add a little bottom end. They are well worth the money. If you do decide to get one, don't buy a "second" or a "used" one, get a new one and I think you'd be very happy with it. I prefer the D shaped neck too. The V necks are very thin.

Good luck

[JoshuaChristopher]

Thanks so much for the reply. I found some pretty good deals on new ones, and I'm seriously considering getting one.

By the way, you do a really good Neil. You sound better than he does anymore, haha

[bluegrasssingingman]

@JoshuaChristopher Buy the Martin d-1 899 with case blow that guitar away

[bluegrasssingingman]

@bluegrasssingingman Don't get me wrong the m15 is nice, but a copy of the D-18.with a few years it sound great. The D-1 Martin a few months and she will bark.

[theMonk1]

Thanks man. Glad you like. Look for something new next weekend.

[munzbtvrcexwy]

[pigjamelectric]

Very nice! Enjoy your style a lot.

That was an excellent rendition of Alabama. Great voice, great playing. That was great.
