is it acoustic electric?

[russelsheartinacage]

no it's just acoustic

[redroxy2010]

i think i could listen to your playlist all night

[russelsheartinacage]

Thanks very much, I'm honoured. I've posted a newer version of this one my new guitar. It's in the video responses

something about the way this was recorded makes that "sliding around" sound on the strings really evident, which sucks.

as for the playing and the song itself, great work!! seriously, that's quite the composition.

also, the tone of that guitar makes me want one bad. i'm really liking these mexican martins more and more these days.

Thanx for the comment. I hadn't been playing fingerstyle for long at the time so I didn't really have the control over smooth fingering positions when I recorded this.

This 000X1 is US made according to the label, but the DX1 that I own is Mexican made. Quite strange considering they both the same kind of price and entry level Martins.

This is good original music. I wrote a song much like this but not as good, with fingerpicking and chord progressions. check it out man on my channel its called variations on a capo let me know what you think

That was damn good! I absolutely LOVE the harmonics at the end! That's still something I haven't fooled around much with on guitar.

thanks, i'm very inadequate with a plectrum so it evens out!

[HadesWTF]

I admire the fingerstyle so much.

I can only use a pick besides being a pretty adequate fingerstyle bassist.
