Miss the Mississippi and You--solo guitar

My fingerstyle guitar arrangement of "Miss the Mississippi and You," written by Billy Halley and made famous by Jimmie Rodgers' 1932 recording. Played in standard tuning in the key of G on a 1930 Martin OM-28.

What are the mics?

[dziegele]

@EddieBluey The mic at the neck side is a DPA 4011 (the brand was Bruel and Kjaer when I bought this one). The mic near the bridge is an AKG 460B. Both are small-diaphragm condenser mics, which I highly recommend for recording acoustic guitar.

Beautiful -

I'd love to see it without the boom blocking the keyboard. (just bcuz I'm trying to figure the chords....)

[dziegele]

Sorry about the boom! In the video description I provided the link to the tablature, which has the chord names and the left hand fingerings. Shoot me a message if you have questions about how to play it.

great job! What guitar are you playing? I love Dylan's version of this song, but for instrumental, I love yours even more!

[dziegele]

Thanks for your kind words. The guitar is a 1930 Martin OM-28. It's one of the early ones made with a pyramid bridge. -DZ
