Hello everyone, 

I recently uploaded this one-take performance of my arrangement of this Roy Buchanan classic. I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

One of my favourite Roy Buchanan tracks and that was a great interpretation Michael. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Well played......lovely arrangement with some great subtlety in certain sections.......quite haunting and I would say preferable to the piercing telecaster of Roy's original.
I have seen some of your old TNAG demos and always thought you were a great player .

Thank you Dominic, that means a lot to me. It's a beautiful piece of music and has long been one of my favourites. It's sacred ground though and I wasn't sure about arranging it as Roy Buchanan's original was so monolithic. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 

I cut all ties with that company in 2017 but I've been getting up to all sorts of guitar-based mischief since, including my Luthier Stories series which I'm looking forward to resuming when possible!

Please tell us more.

Well @Jimbro66, the plan was to be out and about this year talking to more wonderful guitar makers. Actually it's more of a thinly veiled excuse to hang out with friends! I have a list of incredible artists that I'm slowly making my way through and I look forward to sharing more when possible. In the meantime I've been doing a series of instagram live interviews and as fun as they are... it's not the same...   

So yeah, I'm raring to go!
