ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY, and I mean that. Almost took all my sadness away this holiday season, Gregg. THANK YOU so much, and I really mean that. Lost my mother-in-law, last uncle & my late mom's last sister this year, so it's a tough one. Truly exquisitely beautiful, and never more needed than at this Horrible financial & social time. I've always adored the guitar, and yours is the Bentley (never mind Cadillac) of guitars...Don't EVER stop playing & posting, please. THANKS again!

Holy crap!

I've never seen a "guitar" like this. What is it called? Your music is outstanding! Such heart and soul!!!!

Mr. Miner,
Breathtaking. Thanks so much for posting.
I've been a fan of yours for years, and always enjoy your "world music" holiday selections--the Andean "I Wonder as I Wander;" the Asian "O Come, O Come Emmanuel;" the Indian "Litte Drummer Boy;" and the Middle Eastern "We Three Kings." I'm sure others would find them as much a treat as I have if you could post them someday (and given your musical multitasking on those pieces, the visual could be a simple winter scene). Take care,

Gregg, Amazing technique with thumb and finger picks no less. I have always loved this arrangement of yours. I'm sending you a video response of one of mine. I hope you enjoy it. Music is the Best!

Thanks Sean - I am of course "dubbing" to playback and thus "playing" a bit more flamboyantly than normal - but at that time, I did use fingerpicks (the playback is from my recorded CD). Now I use acrylics and a Delrin-tip thumbpick. I play this down in G now - come to the Gathering in October and I'll show you!
And thanks everyone else for your kind comments (and don't forget I've still got 5000 CD sets in my garage....)!
