I've had this video in my file for quite a long time and haven't posted because I wanted to redo it. But I sold the guitar and I haven't found another with the sound I want.
Tuned Gmin (GDga#d) and a backwards wonky bum diddy strum. Sound is mainly acoustic with a little push from the internal amp and speaker.
The guitar is at Wicked Parrot Tattoo in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
Some of you might remember this from a couple years ago when a group of us collaborated on the same song. I owe a lot to turtlehead for giving the song its chord progression from my lyrics. I have used the same chord progression as he used.

What good minor key sound and song.   One of your best, I think.

Cool! I couldn't see the gears in the vid. Hmm, I've got an old motorcycle sprocket but I'm sure that's been done before.

Thanks Jim and Turtlehead.  It's on my set list for the April open mic at Caffe Lena.  If I don't have another guitar like that one, I'll just play it on the reso.  I think if is tune it down a half step in the minor key it will do the trick.
