hello CVM, it isn't plugged in, it's recorded with a video camera and uploaded onto this site, it's a Gibson J45 and has a great sound. Thanks.
That sounds fantastic! Tell me that is not plugged in..
Hello Edward,
I drop the thick E to D to play it, I used to play with finger picks and I got used to them, but I feel that I can get closer to the strings if I grow my nails a bit longer and use those instead, I do use a thumbpick though, I think th…
Are you using a plastic thumbpick and metal fingerpicks...that's what I sue. Edward
Beautiful, one of my favorites...what tuning are you using! Love the sound of your Gibson..I own a J160E, like the ones Lennon and Harrison played in the early Beatles with the pickup at the end of the fingerboard and vol./tone control on the top.…
That's a really nice arrangement. I worked out a guitar accompaniment and have sung this song for many years but never took the time to work out a good instrumental bit for after the last verse. I used to have a friend play flute during the instrume…
very nice. check out mine without pick on classical.
Nicely worked out and played good. Nice sound too.
Really nice-I'm glad you joined our little "community"! Most of us here in the States are probably not familiar with Oldfield.

Hello Edward,
I play my guitar every day and a set of Elixir strings can last me about ten weeks before I hear that they need changing, and I am really fussy about sound, as all us guitarist are, they sound great and they are coated so sweat, dust a…
Wow! Man that is beautiful. This is a traditional Celtic piece? Very well played.
I'm curious as to what strings you Gibson players use on your guitars, I use Elixir 12/53 on mine, I find that any other strings lose their fresh tone after about 2 or three days, and these Elixir strings bring out the bass tones.

I use Guitar Pro to tab songs. It is not just for guitars, but you can add other instruments. I then render to mp3, which is what you hear on this site. But I have a myspace site on which I have recordings of other pieces composed by me. www.myspace.com/peterlynchmusic
btw, I wish I could play as well as you. You seem to effortless play stuff and have a great technique. Beautiful tone from your guitar as well!
cheers, Peter

Your friend,

Thank you for listening and for your kind comment. What you see in my video is a partial capo. It blocks 3 strings. You can strap it on in two ways: It can either block ADG or DGB. So, you see, you can play below the capo.
I will come back to listen to your music soon.
best regards
Staffan
