NGD!
well… almost NGD, had it for a couple of weeks now traded in my Martin for a Cort, some of you would probably say that it is madness to change a Martin for a Cort nah… it plays like a dream and is just as good as my old Martin. And it gave me a nice chunk of spare money too
I had to get rid of my dread, my shoulders are not up to it. So i swapped it out for an OM size.
Anyway… i had to make a recording with it… i have played this mostly on E-guitar and i just could not get it to sit right… so i decided to try to make a acoustic version of it…
As always. My version is very different from the original
Most things by Tony Joe White are worth a listen, do not know this but I enjoyed your rendition. Plus the guitar sounds good, enjoy, and thanks for sharing.
You might have heard it before Brian and Mark… it is very different original and played on a E guitar. Never the less. Check out TJ White… he is pretty awsome
Hey Trond, welcome to the Cort family! Pretty awesome guitars at a reasonable price point. I love mine and I hope you are happy with yours too.
Not familiar with the song, but I liked your version very much. Some fancy stuff going on, cool! Enjoyed it!
Hi Andrea! love it so far… it is great to play and sounds pretty good. To be honest it is just as nice to play as any Martin’s i had, and a fraction of the price
So i am real happy about it
Thanks for checking it out by the way. Really appreciate it
This is completely new for me (artist and song) but man did I dig it. Awesome stuff Trond and that type of song really suits your voice. Lovely guitar as well!
Great Louisiana swamp rock blues vibe there Trond. New guitar sounds good and your vocal really suited the song too. TJW has some terrific songs.
Well done.
Happy NGD Trond, looks like she fits you like a glove!! Sounds terrific in your hands as well and this is yet another grand video from you, you’ve got a lot of feeling into this on playing and vocals.
So much great music to enjoy from the Community at the moment, loving it!!
Really appreciate the feedback and that you bother to watch this
Ooooh… and this Gordon

I totally aggree with you Mark, there is lot of very high quality recordings these days, not just the playing, but productions as well. I think it has been that for quite some time now.
Hi @tRONd just a question from a beginner.
It may be a stupid question but I’m curious about why you choose to play without a pick.
Is it a personal choice? Do you prefer the sound when you play with your fingers?
I’ve always played with a pick and I haven’t really tried to play with my thumb a lot but when I do it sounds terrible.
Hi Carlos
That is a good question that… i started the Justin course without a pick. I did not have one available when i started i also started fingerstyle very early on. So for some time i did not strum much at all… so when i finally had a pick available i was allready so used to just using my fingers.
It is just recently that i have started using pick. I use it mostly with E-guitar when i play with distortion and such.
But i am leaning more and more to just fingers on E-guitar too… strangely enough. I find it easier to play with pick on E-guitar than fingers. And i find it oddly enough easier to play without pick on acoustic…
it all comes down to the sound and dynamics for me. I find it much easier to sing when i play without a pick. And i guess i just like that sound you can get from an guitar with just youre hands.
I recommend to keep trying without a pick as well as using a pick. When I strum with my hand it projects a softer sound and helps amplify your singing skills. Finger style… uh yeah Trond is the master and I still suck at finger picking arpeggios
Well, it’s the opposite for me. I started playing with picks from the very beginning and now I’m not very excited about strumming with my thumb or playing finger style… I guess I will have to start one day but I’d rather master my strumming and alternate picking for now.
Happy NGD, Trond! And welcome to the Cort-Club from my side as well.
Your Cort sounds lovely, great tone that suits the piece. Never heard it before, but sounding really good. Your performance was most enjoyable, great bluesy vibe going one.
Keep at it with the pick and try to explore with out. It probably takes some practise when you are used to pick, but there is a looooot of different fun stuff you can do with fingers too.
I regret a little that i did not start sooner with pick. So dont be me

It sounds sweet. Loved the tune as well, Trond. Sounded very cool.
