I picked up a Guitalele a few day ago for $50.


Craigslist find, some dude got it in  storage locker auction. It's the Yamaha one with a case and I'm pretty sure it's never been played. I stretched the strings out a bit and tuned it to an A, it held better than I thought it would.Haven't had chance to play it since I recorded this on Wednesday in the car, LITLR, br80 mics.

Wow, brother you are a beast. This put a H U G E smile on my face. Great cover, and I now don't know half the names of the instruments you now have - all your purchases have been fab. Very, very cool.

Guitalele sounds great in your hands, and an effortless-sounding (but I know that's not necessarily so) performance.

Nice one, Hook! Fingerstyle on!
