Have been admiring your performance(s) (and not just because of the name in the song title)!

Such tasty and varied chords to accompany the flowing melodyâ€¦I think you've inspired me to try tuning my high bass G low G string down to Eâ€¦

Let there be minor 7'sâ€¦.and there were minor 7's

How did you record the audio? No patch cord in the jackâ€¦no mics visibleâ€¦

Thank you Dan, I appreciate your kind comments. The tuning is a little more versatile for solo playing. More chordal variations possible and the low E helps me think the fretboard more as a conventional guitar!

Hi Dan, I use an old AKG C1000s Condenser mic. It is overhead just out of camera shot. The mic was quite inexpensive but sounds OK to me!
