Description

Here is something I put together for the Christmas spirit. I play acoustic guitar on this one with a little slide utilizing the holiday tune "Deck The Halls".
I just recorded it a few minuets ago in GarageBand using my Takamine acoustic guitar. Dec 26th, 2004.

I tuned the guitar to an Open C tuning:"CGCGCE"

	That's the spirit Most excellent guitar playing. I'll have to try that open C tuning. Sounds like Leo Kottke.

nice rendition
I like the way you expand this well-known Christmas
classic into something uniquely yours.

Very fine guitar playing as usual. The recording on this is
very live and warm-sounding. Really excellent.

I particularly like the way you displace the rhythm on the
melody. Your variations on the tune are also inventive.
The open tuning gives it a folk/country flavor.

The percussive slides towards the end are indeed
reminiscent of Leo Kottke's playing.

Just when I had had enough Christmas music-listening
this season, you offer a refreshing version which could be
enjoyed year-round. Thanks!

Absolutely wonderful
Kind of Greg Lake meets Ry Cooder (don't know enough
Leo Kottke...). Spent many nights at college trying to play
steel strung like this. Full of drive and excitment. This is
what fingerpicking should sound like. Cameron's
comments are right on the money too.

A Gem.

p.s. ever heard of a guy called Preston Reed? Saw him last
year, can't decide if he's good or just a one trick pony,
albeit a very difficult one...Prefer your stuff I must say...

Check out my latest song called Real Slow

To: Ringo

I was just listening to Leo at Itunes. He is sure a good open tunings guy.

Preston Reed, I'll have to keep an ear out for him. Have not heard of him.

Thanks

	Originality... Open tuning to me are a lot of fun. You probably know a bunch but I left what strings are tuned to in hopes somebody might find enjoyment out of this open tuning. Thanks Bill thetiler --- The Tiler Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)
