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.

Hi Texmexy, Mike and David.

I'm really surprised by this but if I am honest it is a very pleasant surprise. I really am very grateful for all the encouragement.

Many thanks.

Hello Tres and Norman.

Thank you for your comments. You are both right about the singing, but one step at a time, and I am only making small steps. Thanks for listening.

Super dark tone. Love it. You can call that the entire song and get with the next. If more of the song shows up, well use it. Sometimes mine linger for five years in partial form. Why don't you sing a little? Wait....there are no lyrics on an instrumental ....I am so flintstonian. I can play, but building.......tearing up is easier. Impressive as frets and lam fretboard are advanced concepts. How bout some more footage?

Really nice break -- now you just need to work out accompanying yourself while you sing it, and you're golden!

Hi Jeff.

I'm very glad that you enjoyed it and for the comment. As for the follow up, it has taken me a while to get this one and I'm not sure what will come next, but I hope it doesn't take another 6 months before the next one.

Thanks again. John

Nicely done. A very good take on one of my favorite songs.

Do you have your next hit video in production yet? ;~þ
