Such a nice rendition. I dig the harmonics. Looks like you are plucking the string with the hand you are doing the harmonics with? Thats cool. I think Justins lesson on the police song “Cant stand losing you” is the one that he shows this technique. Very very neat technique.

Hi Deborah @MacOneill this is such a lovely thread! Here is my contribution - an old German Christmas song, with its own Wikipedia page: Leise rieselt der Schnee - Wikipedia
Had to dust it off first and practise the Am to Dm change … then had to sort out the dead batteries in my pickup … but hey Christmas period runs till 6th of Jan, doesn’t it?

Hi Molly! A beautiful rendition of a traditional German song! I sang it every year together with my parents as a child. I guess, you are a native speaker :wink:?
Thanks for posting!

Why thank you…thank you very much, Gordon-also spoken in an Elvis voice) :rofl:

Thanks Helen. Me too. Elvis had so many good ones - especially if you’re mainly a singer / strummer like me. Maybe I’ll have to do some more Elvis soon.
