          Great post Mike, loved the raw natural tone. There are so many possibilities to embellish that earthy acoustic groove.

              Love your raw Blues, Mike. Very tasty playing.
              Must be really cold there where you live😄. We are having freezy temperatures here, too.

                      Sounds like back porch pickin’ Mike. Good idea to stay inside and play some Blues.

                              Ha yeah, I have more of me playing in the flesh on my youtube channel. It’s kind of a pain to setup for electric but for acoustic I just use my phone.

                              Stay warm ya’ll!

                              Well played Mike, I always find bends on acoustic difficult to do, a problem that you don’t seem to have..

                                        Great to hear you play the acoustic Mike and … in the flesh! Very authentic sound and playing. Nice fretboard coverage from 1st position then further up the neck. And Hey Mike I’m down south (Australia that is!) and it’s 34 degrees Celsius or 93.2 Fahrenheit 😉 All the best!

                                            Nicely played Mike. You sounded so earthy and Delta blues-like. I agree it’s good to hear you playing an acoustic. Thanks for sharing.

                                                                        It’s cold down south here too (in Bristol, England!..)

                                                                        You played some lovely acoustic blues to warm my day! Beautifully played!

                                                                          I love that kind of guitar playing. Just soulful and simple sounding but complex playing. Great job Mike.
