    David, you and the Apitius are a great match. Sounds fantastic!
  36. Jim Garber's Avatar
    Fantastic, David! I have been playing that for years but only single string melody, which is difficult enough. I love your arrangement. Of course, the Jacob and contemporary players like Dudu Maia play it much faster but they usually have the chords accompanied by masterful 7 string guitar players.

    Feels like a groove from the Old Aquarium Rescue Unit circa 1994. I bet Col. Bruce would have enjoyed this.
  40. Alfons's Avatar
    Adding my votes for both "Wow!" and "That was fun!", and I just love that whistling too. Thanks Rory!

    well..... I am truly blown away

    My usual response to something like this is "Holy Sh*t!" But being (or trying to be) a more mature musician I'll say the Rory is remarkable. And my remarks are that he is a rare talent. Disabled or not, I assume he is blind, he really understands the style of music and performs it with style and grace.

    That's a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Les Zeppelin sones. I too bought Houses of the Holy with my morning paper route money and still listen to that album often today. Thanks for sharing this!

    I had thought there were overtone/tuning issues with mag pickup-amplified string courses (doubled), hence Mandocaster is four strings. But that was absolutely lovely, majestic, transcendent! Sigh, pros can milk music from a log, and tune perfectly. Thanks, Don. That tune is embedded deeply in all of us of a certain age and place.
