All Of My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers – Merle Haggard Cover

[Barry G]

Not much fancy guitar playing on this. I am focusing less on guitar for awhile trying to improve my singing. It helps to practice singing just strumming along. Hopefully I will get more comfortable and begin to be able to play better guitar while singing at the same time.

Hi Barry, sounds pretty good to me, you have a nice country twang and your strumming matches perfectly

Nice job! Your voice fits the song, so does the guitar.

Barry,
When I saw ‘Merle Haggard’ in the title, I HAD to give a listen.
Playing and singing – that’s a whole nother ballgame. But I love the effort on this great tune. Keep it up!

Hey Barry,

I have heard of Merle Haggard but not this song.

I think you’ve done a great job with the playing and singing and I could happily listen to you while I went about something else.

Did you take any inspiration from Joaquin Phoenix in walk the line? Your singing kinda reminds me of his….

Barry you had me at HAGGARD – you are in my wheelhouse. Nice job playing and singing. Did I see you on utube playing a Vince Gill style lead guitar instrumental?

Great job Barry. Vocals and playing absolutely spot on. Enjoyed listening and I’m always amazed by people who can sing and play at the same time. It’s something I don’t think I could ever do.
