Worked out this tune in C13 on my Mag and recorded a quick version this morning:

Going to be there next March (first visit to the islands), definitely will be stopping at the falls!

Beaut, Nic! The lower chords sound so deep and lush with that C13th.

Mahalo! The low end response stems from one of my favorite tricks...two amps (in this case software amp models) with a bass amp with the treble dialed away joining the guitar amp...you get the tone/reverb/tubeyness out of the guitar amp, but with a bit of extra oomph for the low C string when you want it...
I tried it with a live band but found I was fighting over sonic space with the electric bassist...I yielded the territory back to him (and am sticking with hauling one amp, win-win).
