Very clear and useful information. An easier way of covering the half step/whole step scale over the altered dominant chord. Thank you from Australia.

where exactly are you referring to?

Sorry, I had two guitar websites open and inadvertently posted my message on the wrong one.

Very nice Mike.

Great playing in that idiom Mike....nice use of reverb...in a musical sense.
You played off those breathing spaces beautifully....
Love your tone ....it's hard to get those Godins to sound "real"[I certainly
find it difficult]
Are you using the model with the full width classical neck? Maybe the new
one with the Aura modelling?
Whatever, that's the best tone I've heard on one of those...and I'm
real picky after spending 30 years playing CG....
I guess that you have done some CG training...either way..YOU make
the sound, not the instrument.
...[ I can't help being a "bolt" as Mr Scofield would have it.]
Best wishes and bravo....I'm going to buy a copy of your new CD.

Thanks so much!! That wasn't actually even my guitar and I'd never played it before right then - I was sitting in on someone else's show. I'm pretty sure it was a full-width neck. I haven't had any classical guitar training (lots of classical training on piano) but I play a lot of nylon-string guitar. I play finger style but with 5 fingerpicks... super weird.

If you buy the CD on my website there is no shipping

thanks again for the comments! All the best.

So we just pay but we do not get the CD because there is no shipping?
