Good chord transitions and chord modifications… and song selection. I feel sad thinking about Alan Jackson’s physical deterioration that prohibits his performing very long on stage. We saw him here in Austin at the rodeo halftime once live. Good time.

Thanks so very much @albert_d for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you found the unplugged campfire rendition enjoyable. Yes it is sad I think his music needs to be preserved and I think it is great you got a chance to see him in concert. You know when things like that happen a person doesn’t realize how special it is until long after. Some songs music deserve covering and this is my way of honoring the memory of them.

@KevinZ , that was another spectacular performance my friend. I don’t know too much about Alan Jackson (other than Mercury Blues) but the way you played that song makes me want to listen to more of him. Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed watching and listening.

Hey thanks so much @Bill_Brown for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you found the unplugged campfire rendition enjoyable. I did some improvisation to make it sound more like the original that had lots of instruments compared to my version. The Improv part is getting to be more natural like I can hear it in my head then I search for spots on the guitar neck to make it happen. I confess I like doing it. <div>

I feel like I’m always saying this Kevin, but this was one of your best. I enjoy the slower ones, and I still can’t figure out how to get all strings to ring clear if I fingerpick, which I rarely do. I have essential tremors that most days make it impossible. Also, the wrist break made it difficult, without pain, to fret correctly. I can’t press the strings without pain.

This was a great cover. I’m not very familiar with the musician. I’ll check out his songs, though. Thanks!

I had the same problems my joints were so bad I couldn’t hold an open C chord because it hurt to hold finger pressure on the neck. I used Prayers Poems and Promises as a feedback. The pain was so bad I gave up guitar and started playing piano so at least I could sing to an instrument. So I did research on what and how to get my joints back found out my mom brother , sister , and aunt all had the same issue. They went the drug route I didn’t I went the natural route tried herbs, supplements, olive oil, diet CBD. Nothing got me past my feedback open C chord. So my guitars collected dust then one day I ran across Nikola Teslas Violet Ray online. I did some research into its theory doing electrical and Instrumentation for 40 years in the power industry I thought they had merit. It worked great I was so happy when I could hold a open C but that meant I had to start over getting my hands to work right again. Soon I picked the guitar up and started playing. You have that drive and desire if you want to know about the Violet Ray I will help you. I have helped others and they were amazed at how it worked. Mine cost me 75 bucks and now I don’t need it anymore. CBD, olive oil, all keeps my joints in check. I want that for you to know the joy and freedom of less pain while playing the guitar. Thanks for listening in and commenting so nice. Very much appreciated so glad you enjoyed the unplugged campfire rendition. Hope your tremors get better keep on playing never give up.
