R.E.M. on a CBG. Fun cover of this R.E.M. tune they released in 1987 on their Document album. Played on my 4 string cigar box guitar. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind comments, Doug! I have been playing and writing and building, just not recording as much lately.
Thank you Bob :)
Thank you Rough Cut. This 4 string does have good volume acoustically for a plywood box with paper on it and is chimey with acoustic strings. The delay and reverb from the amp probably help too. Hope your friend recovered and is back in action, and I would never tempt fate with that particular song during a pandemic :)
Thank you, John. They have lots of good music.
I recently bought the amp from a friend... now I know why the price was so good, Dave ;)
R.E.M. had a lot of great songs, and this is one of them, very well played as usual Derek!, and Michael Stipe's vocals suits your smooth style of singing really well :-)
Good to see you back in action Derek! I REMember this one. Haven’t heard it in a very long time. I enjoyed your cover of it! Great picking and rhythm, as usual. Well done!!!
Reminds me of a related - and hilarious - story: Got a buddy who started going live on FB doing his favorite tunes during lockdown - then he tried "It's The End Of The World As We Know It". Where he got the courage I'll never know. Made it to the second set of verse and... Spectacular crash n burn :-D
If he's reading this, all my respect for the try - no guts, no glory!
Great job on a great song!
Nice n chimey! Had to look close to see if there were 6 strings and an 'R' tailpiece :-)
