  • My cover of Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I really enjoyed playing this classic. For technical questions: I play a Maton EM300 (1989) model guitar. I use a Zoom H4 (slightly out of frame) as the audio interface directly into GarageBand where I do all the mixing afterwards. Thanks for watching!

    My father and I loved and sang this song together. I haven’t listened to it for 5 years on November 6th. I walked out of his funeral when it played. It was too much.
    I just listened to this all the way thru…

      @@LetArtsLive Don't try to get over it. Go through the grief. It will slowly get less and less. It's pretty much the worst loss anyone can experience in life and it's recent. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take it a day at a time. When you need to cry about it let yourself cry. Don't hold that stuff in or it will destroy you. Hopefully you've got friends or family that are there for you too. Seeing a grief counselor can be a good idea too. Everything helps a little bit. And keep playing that guitar. Sorry for your loss. This life hammers us all in one way or another. No one escapes it.
