My first video playing (or attempting to) Wayfaring Stranger. The guitar is the third one I made - three string fretted with humbucker near the neck and and two piezos under the bridge. I made the arrangement quite a while ago, but have only done one verse, so that's why it's quite short. There didn't seem to be much point in just repeating the same stuff a second time.

Hi David.

Thank you for the comment. I make no promises about singing. At the moment I am directing my efforts towards improving my playing and also my making. I think those two things will keep me occupied for quite some time. I appreciate the opinion though.

Thanks again.

John

So John. You have a Fan-base. Please take it to the next level, and sing. Even if it's just the same song, alright??

Hi Gary.

Thanks for that. Does that mean that we can look forward to a version from you? I think you would do a fantastic job of it.

All the best.

Hi Jason and Tor.

Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.

Tor. I don't have that much experience, but tone seems to be a mix of the instrument, the type of pickups (humbucker and two piezos in this case) and amp. There is a pic of the amp settings near the beginning of the comments.

Thanks again.

John
