So sorry to hear about your dad. You played and sang it well. Great tribute. Whether you play it live, or this video; you are fine. Keep well Kevin.

@Bill_Brown

It’s a Washburn Orchestra/OM solid mahogany top acoustic electric. It is a modestly priced guitar (just a little over $500 when I got it). I have had it for about 8 months I think, and have posted before with it I believe.
I had a Taylor GS-Mini with mahogany top, but I didn’t care for the size when playing, and really thought it had a dull tone. I traded it in for this new by adding a little cash. I know from the playing in this video you can’t really tell, but it had a much nicer sound and sustain; and was much more comfortable to play for me.

Thank you all for taking the time to listen and your kind words. If you identify with the words; take it easy, day at a time. 😉

@Mrfredsporty Thank you! That’s a good idea, to mix and match different techniques. I haven’t used palm muting much. Will have to work on that.

Most excellent! Your vocals, the finger picking and harmonica captured Dylan well.

@Cadgirl I agree. Yes, the song vault that Tony had. A lot of good stuff in there.
@Kitman So true. An excellent and supportive community.
@Skullknocker Thank you so much for taking a listen and your kind words.

Thank you all so much for taking time to listen and the kind and encouraging words. After listening again I was thinking I should have taken more time to get it down a little better before posting, but this is a guitar journey.
