Thanks for the comments guy's. I did put a video on YouTube,I didn't understand the process so it's a bit hit and miss.

You are more than good enough to post to youtube. That was a great little tune.

Ya Taff, that’s why I go through YouTube. They condense the videos to compress the size. It’s easy to get on YouTube, don’t be shy. I have few viewers on YouTube. I have more on Nation. It took me a long time to learn how to post my videos but folks on Nation thought me how. Just ask the ? And answers appear like magic. I like this place.

Taffy, beautiful sounding acoustic. Dave, the video isn't on youtube. There are other ways, that some use to post them. Don't have a clue what is used here.

It has a great tone that's more inline with a acoustic guitar, so you achieved your goal. Good picking and slide work too.

That’s ok Taff. I can’t view one out of 10 videos due to internet mysteries. If you post a link then I can click on it and view your video on YouTube. When you moved your video from YouTube to Nation you created a link by copying the YouTube video then pasted it on Nation. You can paste a link in the comments box right here.

That was great. Love the sound. Awesome build and some really good playing as well. I am still learning to play.
