Hello everyone,
I just uploaded the latest in my One Take Performance series on YouTube. The piece is called HYLAB and it's the title track of my incoming second album. I really hope you enjoy it.
I'm in DADGAD and the piece is in C Major, the guitar is my Kostal MDW signature model strung with 13's in front of a pair of Gefell M300's
No EQ, reverb or effects...
All the best
Michael

The best version of that tune you have put out yet. And the guitars sounds fabulous!

Very nice piece, I like the string bends. As said, a very relaxing tune, thankyou.

Beautiful piece Michael! Played with style .... as always. I very much enjoyed it!! Funny - I saw you said C Major and instinctive thought was that's tricky - then realised that all the open strings are still available within the C Major Scale. Been playing in DADGAD for years and the penny's only just dropped. Mark

Enjoyed that Michael thanks, did you manage a session with the Counting Crows bassist?

Thank you so much everybody, I'm not sure how to do quotes on this forum but suffice it to say your comments are very much appreciated. Thank you. So the album recording will have to wait a little while but I'm very happy that one of my favourite drummers has agreed to join me on this one. We'll do a session in London and then I'll send the results to California for Matt to work his magic.

That guitar sounds just beautiful. I'm sure your fingers have a lot to do with that.

This is surely the key point: give Michael a bog standard acoustic box and he will still sound better than the vast majority of us with our best weapons. With his own Kostal the gulf is just phenomenal First time I had heard this composition; just wonderful.
