Christmas Medley (12-string/DADGAD)

The tunes are "New Year's Day/On Christmas Night" and Al Petteway arranged and performed them beautifully on the cd "A Scottish Christmas." Incidentally, that is the cd on which I first discovered Al, and his style was a big influence in the direction that I headed on the instrument.

I played this medley on my Mahogany Lowden 12-string cutaway in DADGAD, lowered 2 steps, with the capo on the seventh fret. No nails, no picks.

I hope you enjoy these two tunes and thank you so much for listening.

Merry Christmas.

I don't know if its the recording equipment or what, but this sounds very weak.

I'm sure its not that very expensive guitar (Lowden?).

This tune, and most of my others to date, were recorded using the built in mic on my flip Mino HD camcorder. It is not a very good mic, I agree.

I'm putting off posting any new videos until I can get something with better sound quality and volume.

Thanks for watching.

That Lowden is a killer guitar man.  Love it.

Nice work here, my friend. I've just become an Al Petteway fan too, and hope to learn some of his music soon.

Merry Christmas!
