And here's the backstory:
So I just got Greg V's album earlier this week and man, it is just great. I've had it on repeat for a while. And then last night I got home from work and really felt like playing so I sat down to do just that. Started feeling like I keep playing the same blues licks over and over, and I wanted to break out of the box, so I went to the store and picked up a DL4. Came home and plugged it in right away, and this was the first chord progression I came up with. So I layered a few parts, and played around for a bit when I realized that after listening to Greg V's version of Amazing Grace all week, the melody was kind of stuck in my head... and it could be worked into the loop. So I grabbed the camera and started recording.

This is what came out of it. There's a clam or two, but it's honest and that's how I like it. I did this with my relic Tele -> Kingsley Jester -> Carbon Copy -> DL4 (for the looping only) -> Vox AC4-TV.

Wow. Beautiful. Wonderful melodic chops and chime.

I wish people put this kind of art in YT, instead of just all the mindless shredding...

Very nice, I believe you may have listened to some Roy Buchanan at some time. Enjoyed it very much.

Hmmm, that clip is the quintessential definition of chime to me.

You are reaching into that nether world state the Bill Frisell is into to. You've got me working on that one for church.

Thanks a lot all y'all. I definitely have been listening to my share of Frisell lately... and Roy Buchanan, especially channeled via Jim Campilongo. And of course Greg V still as well. Check it out, his version is posted here in the clips section now too if you haven't heard it already!
