Here's a flashy, athletic "stunt guitar" take of City Of New Orleans by Steve Goodman, designed specifically to impress viewers age 13-18 who were raised by Grand Theft Auto. All those acrobatic bluegrass riffs and hypercaffeinated scale runs were improvised on the spot. Eat that, suckers. (Apologies to Arlo Guthrie.)

As always, please pardon my singing voice.

Folkies hold on, I've got another take with a little more feel and a little less flash somewhere on my hard drive. I'll post that soon.

  • @Yeshead641 I joke, man, but, absolutely no problem. Honest opinions are always appreciated.

  • not an ounce of heart or feel man. Not for me....good for some but I'm just not into this speedy stuff...barely able to get the lyrics in...i've heard other things you do and find them quite good...this one in particular doesn't do it for me..cheers.

  • @Yeshead641 You must. I insist.

  • no thanks.....
