An attempt at 'House of the Rising Sun'. This box is about 45 years old. Ending shows that there's still room for improvement! Still the little gitty sounds pretty nice thru a clean setting... thanks to Glenn Watt for the lesson!

Nice Build and good effort on 'House of the Rising Sun', I also think it sounds better when it's "Dirtied Up" a bit ;-)

Thanks all - - still needs some polish, but I couldn't resist recording something before sending it off to my brother!  Andries - I dirtied up the amp a little and played it again; I think that improved it some.  Snuffy - thanks so much!   And you are absolutely right - - I understand it's a really old folk song.  Uncle - - just a little something simple.  I also really like the looks of the 'striped' fret board - - I use dark walnut stain and it is SO easy!  Richard - good points!  And I'd say I'm hitting 'most' of the notes!  Thanks!  Jim - you set a really high bar for playing and singing - - but I figured years ago that I shouldn't wait 'til I reached your level before posting videos!  The world would NEVER have heard me!  ;-)
