"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" cover solo acoustic

[Mandolin1944]

Thanks for pointing this video out -- yes that is a GREAT guitar but more than that your playing is spectacular. What kind of music do you usually play?

[checkthegates]

That was very cool. We've got get a clearer video version of this if you don't have one already. I would love to tape it.

[fobsternd]

this is nice! why did you give up!?

[Gtrmaestro]

Give up what?

[fobsternd]

you made a post on harmony central.

[Gtrmaestro]

Oh that, I didn't stop playing. I just am not pursing being a pro songwriter anymore. If I quit playing my wife and kids wouldn't be able to live around me. Thanks for your concern though!

[cherry1788]

@Gtrmaestro  Oh man, I love this --- great arrangement, outstanding performance!

[Taelmoc]

Wow! You rock dude!

[JCK42]

F#$king amazing cover. Very Original. Love the open tuning man!

[Gtrmaestro]

Thanks a lot, it's Dropped D tuning

[JCK42]

Drop D? It sounds like Open D. No? Regardless it sounds awesome.

[Gtrmaestro]

Nope Drop D is the one. Thanks a lot for the kind words. I like Drop D and double drop D a lot for slide and such, sometimes I'll use open G but I've never experimented with any other tunings other that standard.

[Gtrmaestro]

Well that's a fib. I have tried out Dadgad but I don't see it's usefulness.

[bk082789]
