Keep 'em coming, Sebastian! You are a real inspiration. The tone is so sweet and your backing tracks really swing.

I hope you never tire of blowing our minds. Another outstanding performance channeling the greats. But you are more than that, you are also your own artist.

Sebastian.......as always, that's excellent and inspiring.

Question: Are you using your low 6th string (G#) at all in this arrangement? I didn't see that you were, but I might have missed it. If not, I could just tune my B's to C# on my E tuned steel, without changing strings.

Thanks!

Thanks Sebastian - another excellent recording.

Over the last year my interest in the original Hawaiian players has grown immensely but trying to figure out how the style was played is difficult, not least because the audio transfer from "78's" to digital is often unpleasant to listen to when one slows a track down!

I learn as much (if not more) watching you play as I do listening to Sol himself!

Next time I visit Berlin, I very much hope I can meet you personally!

Sebastian that was a great arrangement and playing of Twilight Blues. Your Rickenbacker helps creates the sound of Dick McIntyre. Again well done.
