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 July 7, 2011 at 6:18am: Hi Mark and Steve.

Wow. You chaps are quick off the mark (no pun intended Mark). I thought I would get a pic of the amp settings up before anyone noticed it, but I was far too slow. Very kind of you to comment and 4 stars is much more than I would have given it. You are very generous.

Thanks again.

Comment by Colin S on July 7, 2011 at 6:18am: Sounds and looks fantastic John!

Thanks for posting!

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on July 7, 2011 at 6:12am: Welll done on your 1st John, lovely sound nicely played! (-:

Comment by Mark Bliss on July 7, 2011 at 6:08am: Well now, Johns on his way! Very nice. Sounds good and I can tell you have been working on that!

Now you can smile, relax, enjoy.

Have fun!

Mark

Oh, heres my 4 stars! ****
