Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

You see, I'm in a playing and singing mood :-)
A rough arrangement of this wellknown spiritual with some fingerstyle solo parts to answer my singing and a light bluesy, jazzy touch. I couldn't remember the complete lyrics while recording, so I think there are 1 or 2 more verses ... hope you don't mind ;-)

The all OK, singing, playing, sound. I like most of all the end of this song you did. It was nice. Sorry for my english.

Hey, I like this "stereo" position of your mics better the "x/y"? position you used earlier. IMHO, I really enjoy listening! Keep Posting

@lilicantdrive

Thank you very much!

I try different positions on my videos on different guitars. Just what sounds good to my ears. May be in a perfect recording studio situation you can get much better results I think ... so it's just the best I can get "at home"!

Cheers,

Bernd

If a "based on true events" movie was ever created that chronicled your adventures, and you had any say so on the actor to play your part, settle for no less than Liam Neeson.... you guys sort of resemble....keep up the great recordings....

[BoeckmannLudwig]

@mtstillness

ha ha ... thank you very much ... Liam Neeson is a great actor ... and for sure we'll do more recordings! Really glad you like it!

Cheers,

Bernd
