I'd been considering the 'fretting behind the slide' trick for Kottke's Watermelon... I'd no idea though I suspected I couldn't be the first to think of such a thing. I just stumbled on your vids this evening, and now I supose I'll have to try it out. Great Stuff!
It's something unitil recently I wasn't even aware of I must confess! Saw it in a YouTube interview with Sonny Landreth. It's typically used on electric guitars I guess though. Never saw anybody using it on an acoustic.
Very melodic and beautiful, initially I heard more Kottke until I listenened to the Cohen original with which I was not familiar. You caught the fusion perfectly.
Sweet!

Thank you Pete! I'm surprised that not everybody seems to know this Cohen song. It's one of my favorites.

Ja zeker!
Kende het nummer van hem niet en maar geyoutubed. Melodie zeer herkenbaar tot uiting gebracht met een heerlijk easy-lay back gevoel. 5*

Bedankt John! Echter, bijna een gemis in je opvoeding dat je dat niet kent, maar ja die jeugd van tegenwoordig :-)
