I used a very old multi effects unit called Pandoras Box a Toneworks product made by Korg which had the sound I was looking for.

Hope you like "This Ol' House"

Cheers Phil

Kinda smiling yeah But he's cut the top of his head off for most of the vid

As to the playing............Excellant as per usual mate

A very tricky number Phil and you played it really well.

I've sometimes thought about having a go at it but the mandolining in the middle puts me off. Is it just me that has trouble with that - maybe there's some secret that I haven't heard about yet!?

Thank you very much Ecca, Robby, Hugh and Roger for your replies.
Much appreciated.

It's one of those songs that makes you want to smile so glad I did.
Happy Easter.. Cheers Phil

Not bad at all Phil...
Could you possibly do "Mozart's forte" as well?
I think you'd probably handle that tune with ease also...
Keep 'em coming m8!

Cheers,
Ernie

Hi Ernie many thanks for your comment.
Yes Mozart Forte is one I have played for many years
just haven't got round to making a video of it.
Thanks for the suggestion.. Cheers Phil

Made me smile too, Phil. a real pleasure to listen to.
Thank you.

Fantasic job, as always, Phil.

Any chance of you getting a guest shot to play this with Bruce @ Shadowmania?

That might just be enough to get me to hop across the pond from the USA!!
