I think it’s called Chromescreen BrianQ! Tried to give a hint of playing guitar on the beach. Monterey is a beautiful area, glad you came along for the ride. Thanks for the nice comments!

I walked out a little to far into the water Dave, over my head on the slide. This guitar was made more for fingering than the crying of high notes of flats and sharps ha! But Uncle’s guitars can do it all, I will practice! Used GarageBand on iPad to record this one Dave! Thanks, your comments are making my sleepless Sunday morning shine!

Just like you invited me to your beautiful mountains, if your ever in the area here James, your welcome to come by and I’ll show you around. They don’t call it America the beautiful for nothing! I bet everyone has their sweet piece of heaven here. Thanks James!

I am a lucky dude A.D! To receive a guitar someone built putting his know how and creative craftsmanship into it is the ultimate high around here! These are very special because a bit of their personality is built in and stays in the guitar. The sliding is a little spastic on this video, much practice needed. This is a real nice fretting guitar though! Thanks for the compliment, means a lot coming from you A.D!

I do like this tuning Uncle! Sounds great open strumming it. I really appreciate your chord chart, it makes it very easy. I’ll be strumming chords soon!  John I play it differently, not better than you! I’ve seen you play this guitar in a video and you nailed it! I have a sound I guess, it comes from trying to play these CBGs as I play a regular guitar. I am learning though to play these more authentic with watching the great players and talent here including you. I didn’t grow up listening to this style of music, not even blues! At this point in my young life, it’s perfect! When you say you could recognize my music with your eyes shut, are you saying I put you to sleep hahahahaha! Thanks again my friend, for another great guitar and as always, wonderful comments!
