dug out my daughter's ikea child's guitar which at the moment is still missing the skinny string (cant remember if its called the top or bottom string) i was messing about trying to get it to stay in tune then messed about with it and came up with a mad tuning, which allowed me to play just the two fattest strings leaving the 3 bottom ones open, not really live in the living room as it was recorded in the bedroom, using onboard mic with fornylon setting.

Outstanding performance ORH! Even stripped down with an IKEA guitar that's missing a string, can't keep you from shining through. Excellent cover......excellent performance!

This really is damn good. Your vocals are utterly superb on this, James. And the guitar and vocal are really well balanced on the recording. Mighty fine.

Sounds great, and has been said, superb balance. Vocals are wicked and you really should play that there guitar a bit more.
