Dale,

Could you please do a lesson on this? This has been one of the songs I've been really wanting to play.... Thank you!

[tonedr]

great tune and arrangement for sure - appreciate the request! It's a rather long piece and i'm not sure how it would work in the YT format. Thanks for watching,

Great what you get out of this very small (great sounding) 000-18 body! I think Ed Gerhard leaves a little discontent by every guitar player, he's a genius :-)

What equipment do you use for recording?

Kind regards, Hans

[tonedr]

hello Hans, great to hear from you! I agree, Gerhard is just amazing. I am just recording direct from my DVR, using the internal mic. Sure appreciate you watching, all the best,

[Broadus55]

Fabulous. I could listen all day.

[tonedr]

I appreciate your kind words!

[WDux]

Bravo! Great tone, beautiful technique. What is it about the capo on the 2nd or 3rd fret that gets acoustic guitars to sound so wonderful?

[tonedr]

I agree, the capo just seems to give them a bit of a different vibe - I heard Norman Blake say he felt the 3rd fret capo was where he liked the sound the best. I sure appreicate your kind words, thanks,

dale

Great, really great. One of my favorite instrumental tune of the moments and you did it so well.*****

[tonedr]

I appreciate your kind feedback. It is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for watching.

[redavide1]

Excellent playing -- I agree that the right feeling/expression is key on this piece -- you seem to have it down nicely . . .

[tonedr]

Thanks for you kind comments. From you they mean a lot! Put me down as a big fan of your music - loved your latest video. Hope this is a great year for you, your friend, dale.

[mnepper]

Hey, great job on a nice bunch of tunes. I do some of the same ones. I read your comments about Ed's piece and yes, he is all about tone, expression, and feeling. I have been fortunate enough to spend many hours with him in NGW classes and he teaches by slowing down with legato and not so much perfect timing. Thanks for sharing, Mike

[tonedr]

Thanks for your kind comments - sounds like you've had some great experances! He is a master of tone and expression and I strive for just a touch of what he has! Keep in touch, dale.

[tomanderson92]

tomanderson92 You do an awesome job on this piece.
