My first video - Wayfaring Stranger

My first video playing (or attempting to) Wayfaring Stranger. The guitar is the third one I made - three string fretted with humbucker near the neck and and two piezos under the bridge. I made the arrangement quite a while ago, but have only done one verse, so that's why it's quite short. There didn't seem to be much point in just repeating the same stuff a second time.

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on May 29, 2012 at 2:08pm: Hi David.

Thank you for the comment. I make no promises about singing. At the moment I am directing my efforts towards improving my playing and also my making. I think those two things will keep me occupied for quite some time. I appreciate the opinion though.

Thanks again.

All the best.

Thanks for that. Does that mean that we can look forward to a version from you? I think you would do a fantastic job of it.

All the best.

Loved that ! I found myself wanting to sing it :)

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on May 27, 2012 at 4:43pm: Hi Jason and Tor.

Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.

Tor. I don't have that much experience, but tone seems to be a mix of the instrument, the type of pickups (humbucker and two piezos in this case) and amp. There is a pic of the amp settings near the beginning of the comments.

Thanks again.

John

Comment by Tor Börve on May 27, 2012 at 6:38am: What a clear and "oily" sound!Love it! Is it the humbucker that makes it sound like that? The CBG is beautiful,it looks "steady"! If I made one like that in the future I would be really proud!Hope you are !(You should be!)
