As is often the case, slow and simple doesn't mean easy to learn and play! I had trouble with keeping strings ringing, keeping tempo, and the ol' thumb-over the neck.
I didn't have trouble in the DAW, however, this is two SDCs (bridge/14th fret) panned hard right/left plus a high-pass filter - no other processing or fx played with.

D41 sounds like a dream.

I'm impressed that you are learning Carl Miner's tunes. They are beautiful and unique love songs to the guitar. I may have to try to learn some of this myself...a great challenge.
-
I dig it! I might have to watch this like a billion times but I want to try to learn this!
-
This is amazing. You are immensely talented. Keep up the stellar work!

I've been listening to your stuff non-stop over here. Please keep making videos

Thank you Tom. As you’ve been inspired by Carl, so you have inspired me. That’s a lovely-sounding D41 too.

Smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Thanks for these Carl breakdowns love them.

Thanks for the reply Tom, I'm not surprised by your answer really, I expected that you would have had an extensive wealth of learning behind you. I only picked up the accoustic at 60 and I have struggled really finding things I really wanted to play, I turn 63 soon and it's only since I saw Carl playing that I've found a style that inspires me to play regularly with focus. I've learned a couple of tunes from Roberto D Vechio I'm a long from you and Carl but I'll keep checking your vids and live in hope. Thanks again and for the quick reply. 👍

Superb Tom and the new guitar sounds great. I have recently started fumbling about with a pick so I now really appreciate this style of playing and the difficulties involved. I've subbed to listen to your journey with Carl's pieces and I must say you are doing brilliantly in my view.

Smooth...

Having listened to some of you other flat picked videos, I think that the Martin sounds clearer and more defined than the Larivee. A more well rounded tone.

Really nice job on this! Great sound! Is that a Martin D-42? Very pretty! - Glenn
