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 melody…I think you've inspired me to try tuning my high bass G low G string down to E…

Let there be minor 7's….and there were minor 7's 8)

:?: How did you record the audio? No patch cord in the jack…no mics visible…

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!
