enjoyed this one...maybe a bit less reverb...he has nice voice and loves the stuff obviously...i say lose the midi, etc...guitar and a mic is all he needs to please his crowds...nice, calm expressive face...a young george harrision/ davey jones:)

YouTube - Too Late for Praying

Wow! What I'd do to play with this guy! I mean.... in a strictly musical way. He's very good!
I think all he's using is guitar and mic... no midi. He has his amp on a high sustain setting, which for recording causes a lot of problems. I dare to bet that live, it sounded great.

He should be famous.

lol....yeah, i posted the 'just acoustic and mic' video cos i really dug it...maybe that is sustain and not reverb...i guess reverb warbles/resonates more...i totally agree...all these youtube live vids are not done justice audio or even video wise when trying to relay an overall vibe

check out this montage video


....it's an acoustic midi thingie...endless possibilties...(he can break into lead riffs as he pleases)

i say this lightheartedly: it kinda reminded me of the Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Every Written commercial:)

i hope Greg drops by the site:) btw, i prefer when Gord's 'pickin' tunes are picked

you can tell he's an 'entertainer'...looks like he's got a whack of gigs...hats off to him... anybody spreading melodies from the Gordipedia is A1 in my book

I wonder if he uses Lightfoot's corny jokes in his tribute show....

Boy, he's really good. I wonder what kind of guitar that is. It has a nice, rich tone, even if he is using too much sustain.
