enjoyed this one...maybe a bit less reverb...he has nice voice and loves the stuff obviously...i say lose the midi, etc...guitar and a mic is all he needs to please his crowds...nice, calm expressive face...a young george harrision/ davey jones:)

Wow! What I'd do to play with this guy! I mean.... in a strictly musical way. He's very good!
I think all he's using is guitar and mic... no midi. He has his amp on a high sustain setting, which for recording causes a lot of problems. I dare to bet that live, it sounded great.

He should be famous.

lol....yeah, i posted the 'just acoustic and mic' video cos i really dug it...maybe that is sustain and not reverb...i guess reverb warbles/resonates more...i totally agree...all these youtube live vids are not done justice audio or even video wise when trying to relay an overall vibe

check out this montage video

YouTube - tribute to Gordon Lightfoot Demo

....it's an acoustic midi thingie...endless possibilties...(he can break into lead riffs as he pleases)

i say this lightheartedly: it kinda reminded me of the Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Every Written commercial:)

i hope Greg drops by the site:) btw, i prefer when Gord's 'pickin' tunes are picked

you can tell he's an 'entertainer'...looks like he's got a whack of gigs...hats off to him... anybody spreading melodies from the Gordipedia is A1 in my book

I wonder if he uses Lightfoot's corny jokes in his tribute show....

Boy, he's really good. I wonder what kind of guitar that is. It has a nice, rich tone, even if he is using too much sustain.
