When You Wish Upon A Star-C6th

I've done this on E9th a few times, but wanted to try it on C6th ... I forget the fellas name, maybe Graham someone who did this on a Universal? and it inspired me to finally try it on C6th and make it a little Swingy

Hi Dale you certainly nailed it. Nice sounding guitar played with style. Is it new to the fold. Dave

Thank you Slim ... I've always liked the sound of Swing, yet REALLY new to trying to play it and a LONG way from where I'd like to be.

Thank you Jim ... as nicely as this lays out on C6th, I think it was easier on E9th, though when I did it on E9th it was just by feel and not to a set rhythm, and not near this fast. But with the track it didn't feel right to me to play it slower.

Your too kind David, thank you ... Not new NOW, but one of the bess sounding guitars I've ever touched, ... I custom ordered this Rittenberry Prestige (The Concord) and received it March of 2021. Three months later I received my "Jolly Rancher" MSA Legend. Bet thats the last time I custom order not one but two new guitars in the same year.

I love the swing and tone of this. Fantastic job Dale. You sprung new life to this old tune.

Thanks my friend ... I'm really liking the feel of Swing, actually always have, but trying to play it is pretty new to me. This guitar really does have great tone, maybe the best that I've played ... I don't always get the live/room sound to translate in the recording.

You're WAY too kind Catt, thank you for the encouragement ... I'm thoroughly enthralled with the tuning. Sadly my technique will always limit how far I can go with it, but hopefully still make some acceptable music.

Thank you Doug ... Always enjoy when I see one of your videos.
