Croman's summer 08 posting #XX "Sultons Of Swing" adaptation-to-one-guitar (excerpts): final passages are example of the technique which are easiest to point out - alternately-tuned, base string self-accompaniment style & vocal

Danny C. Street jamifyin,' summer 2008. I have more than one way of playing this - as a one-man show. On this performance, excerpted from, you see use of the method with less bass string notes in the early going, but all of them in the late going. With this rendition, I'm able to concentrate on the tone, and chimes in first guitar "break" interlude (used as part of the intro here), yet still put in plenty of the Croman trademark bass string with lead notes dazzle-ization passages on the home stretch. The finger nail on my left hand pinky was split a little from the rest of the finger this day (not to mention two injured wrists). So you can see a bit extra wincing on my facial expressions on the climax of the guitar riffs of the tune. I still like the overall tone, presentation and attack on this. I also stepped up to a .14 gauge b string recently. A bity on the fingers on some tunes but darned if you don't get a fatter tone, on alot of stuff, by using it. The g is always wound where this guy is concerned, it's a .18 gauge-er.
