[Stalacyn]

Hey that's awesome ! Would you be able to write it down in tabs ?

[DutchComedian]

[sparrabag]

fantastic

[rafman54]

Nice job Rafman! Formidable...

[doilena]

Very good "feel"!

[ledzepzoso03]

I was just looking at videos of the martin 000-15 and stumbled across yours. Great playing and your voice to me sounds like it would be very good for covering bob dylan songs!

Great job overall

[rafman54]

wow, that's nice to hear, thanx a lot ledzep

[guitardan102938]

Very nicely played! That mahogany Martin sounds sweet!

[havokbaphomet666]

how much a martin 000-15 costs in there?

[rafman54]

about 1000 euro or 1500 USD

[havokbaphomet666]

you learned from ernie hawkins tabs?

[rafman54]

yes i did

[havokbaphomet666]

awesome playing between

:)

[rafman54]

cheers mate

[frejaluna]

When I tried to follow you on my guitar I realised you technically play E major, but it comes out in D Major ?

Did you tune the guitar 2 half tones down ?

[rafman54]

you're almost right John except that the tuning is 2 whole step down (if i remember well)

[frejaluna]

gee - how many guitars do you own ?

Regards from Denmark - a new Fan of you !

[rafman54]

hi, i got a martin and a yamaha...

i owned an ovation too but had to sell it

many thanx to you my first fan ;-)

[frejaluna]

you play a solid guitar. Keep up the good work. May I be so fee to comment on your singing ? You sing in key but your voice is way to vague. Put more power in the singing, it's almost like you whisper. Are you shy ? Don't be, you're good.

Regards from Denmark

[rafman54]

i also find i should sing louder, i'm working on that but you're right i'm shy when it comes to singing...

thanx for the kind words

[Aivopiirakka]

I assume that the 000-15 is almost the same as 00-15 except size. Am I right? I was thinking of a 00 but then I thought that maybe someday I'm going to jam with someone with a dreadnought. That's why I'm now thinking of a 000.

[rafman54]

go for it mate, it's really a cool guitar for that range of price...

[NationCurfeha]

putain bien !!!! la voix la gratte tu la joues super bien, avec ta guitare en chocolat :) Excellent comme d'hab ...

[tanDlegen]

Wow! Fantastic! I wanna learn learn this one. :-)

[claudius54000]

genial, belle guitare

[djmoore20041]

Cool stuff! I love blind Willie M. - I'd like to hear you play this on a 12-string too.

Nice job!

[rafman54]

thanks for the kind words,i sure wish i had a 12 string to play this one.

[djmoore20041]

I've never tried to play much of his stuff - with the exception of Statesboro Blues. I plsy dome slide, but have never owned a 12-string to try his stuff. The sound he gets is beautiful and powerful at the same time.

[bradykendall]

Awesome song rafman. I'm not familiar with it but it sure sounds good when you play it.

[oldnrone]

Nice song!

[rafman54]

cheers !

[mizzissippiblues]
