I like the mine motif. I could picture the other miners tapping their hammers in time with the music.

Great song, and I really like your version. You solo stands out really nice! Great work!

I could hear Tennessee Ernie Ford snapping his fingers.
Great job.

Hi Mel!
Beautifully done. You play some mean strings. Looking for more.

. Thanks, John! It sounds like there's a bass, doesn't it? Nope, that's the electric guitar. No tracks, etc., what you hear is exactly what you see.

The effect he was using on his guitar is an Electro-harmonix "Pitch Fork" pitch shifter that was set to play the note he was playing plus one octave below, giving it a bass sound.

Nice stuff. I'd love to hear a double bass there sliding around in the background too.

Do you put out all the props for just one miner's song or do you do a whole bunch of them?

Thank you, Chris. Yes, a double bass would be great! We may add a bass player in the future if we find just the right one. The props are just for this song, and it's the only mining song we do so far.
