Cripple Creek - Open G Guitar

A failed attempt at learning banjo led to this guitar version of "Cripple Creek" in open G tuning (same tuning as banjo).

915ce? Wonderful instrument.

This guitar is a Taylor 910ce. I love it, I'm trying to learn to take care of it (having owned marginal guitars for years, that I never bothered to humidify) and wish I could spend more and more hours playing it...not less and less hours, as seems to be the case. I just purchased this 8 months ago, and have had no regrets. It was a major life's purchase for me, and it reminds me of the adage: you get what you pay for.

I like the feel you have in this tune - very authentic. I like using G tuning for composing fiddle style tunes for guitar as it really rings out. I guess the banjo tuning gives it that great major tuning ring and slides and pull offs really work well. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comment and compliment. I checked out your videos and was impressed by your own picking. I'll be revisiting your videos to learn some of your tunes in DADGAD. I'd like to see/hear the fiddle style tunes you play in Open G tuning (I didn't see any in my quick browse of your videos). Thanks again.

Really superb job. Got those slides down really pat!!! Nice and articulate, and right up to tempo. And your addition is terrific.  Keep up the good work!!! Are you the artist, Guitarmandoguy?

Thanks sweetysue. I responded to your comments a number of days ago, but they didn't show up, so I'll try them again. As to your question of "are you the artist, guitarmandoguy?" . . . I'm not sure what you mean, but that's the YouTube username I've chosen and I have some other YouTube videos posted under 'guitarmandoguy' account and username.
