I'm very happy for this !!! Very interesting piece, even the interpretation. Do not let us wait before uploading another video !!!!
PS—-> I would have used a semi-acoustic guitar.
Ciao, Paolo.

Enjoyed your post. The only thing I would change is the position of your camera, turn it 90 degrees to give a horizontal image rather than a vertical one on your next posts. A horizontal image fits computer screens so much nicer. Jerry Makela

Nice job, Rande! It's nice to see you're making progress on video-recording your guitar playing. I'm fortunate enough to have heard you play in person. Keep at it. We want to see more of it.

I appreciate the encouragement from each of you. I've wanted to do this for a number of years, in fact before the board changed to this format. I had visions of how it should be so I waited. I see now that I'll never be satisfied so I went ahead and used my iPhone 6 SE. I should have started a long time ago. I'll continue posting but I'm not sure about the frequency?
Jerome, I wanted to rotate my phone horizontally but the "holder" on my tripod didn't have a way of tightening so I was stuck with gravity overruling.
Paolo, I wasn't sure which guitar to use. This Stratocaster my primary guitar these days. My 1967 Gretsch Country Gentleman doesn't play very well any more. It sounds great because I have the new T.V. Jones pickups but I had the neck refretted and they are now too high and the man who did it died a few years ago. I may use my Godin Multiac for a few songs in the future.
Ray, I know it has been a long time coming but now I've got it all started!
Chuck, I appreciate your kind words. Will you ever come to CAAS? Maybe you have but I've never seen you there.
