Hi Gary,
Another nice arrangement. Sound quality is great... what microphone/hardware/software are you using for audio recording?
Best,
John

Hi John. My setup is simple. Superlux condenser mic, Tascam DP-02CF digital recorder and Mixcraft5 software for final mix. I'm kind of looking around for a better way to record the video...

Very nice playing Gary, I enjoyed it. Nice sounding axe too, Collins guitars just keep on amazing me. If you don't mind me asking, what learning resources do you like to use?

Learning resources, hmmm. I listen to CDs with fiddle tunes. I occasionally buy an instructional DVD or book, but really, I never use them. I'm sort of a "figure it out by yourself" person. I would probably play a lot better if I took advantage of what's out there. But then, why all the pressure?

Great version of Bill Cheatham, Family circumstances forced me away from guitar for almost a year and this is the next tune I wan't to learn, Have not learned to improvise yet so is there any tab thats even close to what you played, don't want to copy you but wan't to be close. Thanks for a fine version. Mike

Sorry Mike, I have about as much of a chance of reading tab as reading Chinese! I don't really think it's possible to play anything to Bill Cheatham that isn't good. Just take a crack at it.

Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"
