Highway's End D18A

This is another version of Highway's End. This is one of my favorite tunes.

I have to say, I think this version, while it has the thicker sound of a dreadnaught, is actually cleaner than the earlier version I put up. I think I get a better sustain with the medium strings versus the lighter gauge strings. I just think it is interesting that by changing the guitar, it really changes the vibe of the song.

I found 2 other versions of this song so I may set up another comparison section. I also need to record it on my 000-18A.

The guitar is my 2007 D-18 Authentic.

Hey Dale, thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me that like it as I have seen some of the critters in your stable and there are some monster guitars hiding out at your house too...lol. That goofy D-18A is a truly incredible guitar. I sure enjoy your videos and I need to check out your lesson on Grandpa's Lullaby. Thanks again and Take care. JMS

Beautifully done, Awesome guitar!!!

Thanks for the kind words, that is one of my favorite tunes and was done on one of my favorite guitars. Those D-18 Authentics are pretty darn hard to beat.

Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. Highway's End is a great song. I forgot to mention in the credits that it was written by Randy Scruggs (Earl's son) when he was 14.
