Hey Thomas,

Great stuff, what woods are your Lowden guitar? Sounds really smooth.

Thanks

[thomasleeb]

@Gitbox56 : it's the Leeb Signature model, an O35c with walnut/spruce

[xandracox]

beautiful song.

you know other guitar tuning similar to DADGAD and DADF#AD ?

[thomasleeb]

@xandracox: there's a lot of them - CGDGAD is one of my favourites, CGDGBbD is a derivate from that one. At the moment I'm having a blast with DADF#AE

Hei Thomas, ich mag deine Lieder total! Und dieses hier ganz besonders!

Wie machst du diese Harmonics? Schlägst du mit dem Finger an und ziehst ihn wieder weg?

Ganz liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

@thomasleeb So does Mr. Lowden call you up and say " Look, you're such a beast at guitar that we've decided to dedicate an entire model in your name" haha

Happy playing Mr. Leeb
