| Thanks Roger, It's just a bit of fun , I was just trying to see what I might sound on a one take recording, It makes you take care of how and what you play. good practice for stage as there is no second chance.. |

John, great job! I particularily liked the style of the rhythm track which is a little more upbeat that what one usually hears.
I know what you mean about doing one take recordings. You have to be on your mark to pull it off. 
I occasionally make some videos and they are one take usually. However, I have done plenty over again. I made a one take video Friday that you might like to see and hear. If you are interested I will tell you what I used....which is "Bare Bones".
Here it is....

Mansion on the Hill...was that with the Carter?
Farewell Party, was that with the Sierra?

Very nice John, a little faster than I'm used to,
but I listened to it several times and like it at
that tempo. I gotta say, it's enjoyable like that.
Very nice style and playing as well.  
Carl

| Thanks Carl, if you listen to Hank Williams version it is even a little faster then mine. but Hank Jnr did it about the same speed as mine. I don't play many instrumentals. it's only in the past few years I started to do some. I spent most of my playing years doing back up steel and never needed to learn any. but I am getting to grips with it now , again thanks for your comments,,, |

John, another great one, Sure wish I could play it that good.
What are you playing. Parts sounds like lap, some like pedal.
I not quite sure, maybe it's both, but it all sounds real good.

| Hi Carl, It's a Carter uni 12, funny thing you saying that it sounds a bit like a lap steel, a lot of people say that. I try to sound a little different to other steel players, maybe because I started out on lap steel many years ago. As lon as it sounds ok that fine with me . Thanks for reply.... |

| Hi Wayne thanks, I loved the keyless, sadly I had to sell it as I was having a spinal operation and thought I might not be able to change the strings, it can be a little tricky on a keyless steel. |
