[Garry]

A beautiful arrangement Bruce and very sensitively played. Great to see your Gretsch out again. Merry Christmas to you and all the best. Stay Safe!

[Bruce D]

Garry,
Yeah, the Gretsch caught the tone, no effects, right into a tiny Fender Frontman amp.

Merry Christmas,
Bruce

[Canada Moose]

nicely done Bruce, seems like a high level of difficulty but you pulled it off; great tone, smooth and mellow perfectly fitting the song; and i like that you used the fleshy part of your thumb and fingers, that adds to the mellow tone.
Nice little Jingle Bells insert at the end.
That was a very difficult arrangement to learn and you nailed it. Congrats.
Merry Christmas
ps, I hope to post my own version today or tomorrow.

[Bruce D]

Moose,
Yeah, I had to finger pick this, Gretsch with no effects played like an acoustic. The Jingle Bells at the end, i just came up with that, glad you caught it. Waiting to hear yours. Also, Greensleeves was great!

Merry Christmas,
Bruce

[Dana D]

Very nice! I enjoyed listening. I noticed you said it was a Frankie Vignola arrangement…I got to meet him a couple of years ago. He came to the academy where I took lessons and he did a really great show.

[Bruce D]

Dana,
Yes – I play guitar, but Frank Vignola is a Guitar Player!
I got to see him and Vinnie Riolo a few years ago in a small room. What a show those two put on. I think there’s a video of him with Tommy Emmanuel out there, too.

Thanks for the comment, and merry Christmas!
