      They’re both great. I just can’t put the Martin down. I think it’s the V neck profile

    Thank you Brian ! Actually i was playing with Drop “D” today at dawn…great time to practice. BTW if you (or anyone) have not seen Levon Helm in “I’m Not In It For My Health” ..imo It’s Great ! Larry Campbell is also in it.

      Great documentary about Levon. If you like that one I also recommend “The Other One: the Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir”

    Love your videos. Learning them, then tweaking them to my `own` song. Would you ever have a learn a known song lesson?
    I saw Prince unplugged the other day and would to learn his accoustic Cream song. Not a huge Prince fan, but that song sounds great!
