very nice playing, one thing though, your version of Flax in Bloom, is very hard to recognize. I play the tune on fiddle and banjo and it's one of my favorites, I am also a celtic fingerstye player. Could you just tell me where the Flax in Bloom part begins so I can dicipher it?

[Guitback2]

Thanks Joe. The Flax in Bloom starts at about 1:36 of the video. I probably play it slower on the guitar than you would on fiddle or banjo. Thanks again for the complimants.

Some very fine playing. Thanks for this. I keep trying to get a glimpse of the brand name of your guitar. Are you in open tuning?

[Guitback2]

Thanks. My guitar is a Taylor814 played in DADGAD.

Bravo, c'est superbe. J'adore cette musique un peu a consonance Irlandaise comme une sorte de gigue. Tu joues vraiment très bien MERCI beaucoup.
