Interestingly enough I listened again through better speakers and I thought the tone was actually quite good. Through my phone it was painfully bright. So some of the comments you might be getting...
Joe Pass did pretty good with his fingernails. I really liked your All Blues. Like Jimmy Page playing all blues. Check out the Kenny Burrell one someone posted. Kenny Burrell is my go to now when...
Most people are honest but some are not. In any kind of transactions in life, one will eventually have dealings with the latter. As President Reagan once said "Trust but verify". That is good...

After reading this sentence from your post I got a sillly image of two cavemen sitting around beating drum rhythms on logs. "We use pine logs, not those weird alder logs like you're using. Not...
