Brilliant ! 😊 I never considered that a nine string guitar even existed. 😅👍

Brilliant, I hadn't heard this before but you do it so well. You've inspired me to have a go at learning it.

Beautiful! Never seen a guitar like that... Sounds terrific!

[@barbaragraesle]

Thanks-it was specially build for me from Joe Striebel www.striebelguitars.com/Joe_Striebel_-_Gitarrenbau.html

Really really really good. Some people bombast this kind of a song. You didn't do that and you smiled. This is important to fans. I usually finish the guitar song with a groan like I messed it up. People don't understand that.

Wonderful, Barbara! Thank you for your advice, so kindly given! I played keyboards and banjo for Stella Parton in the mid-1980s. Banjo helped me transition to finger-style guitar. If you should care to, you can hear my guitar and dobro on You Tube: Capt. Orville’s Flying Circus-“Happy Rebirth Day.” Bless Bless! 🙏

[@barbaragraesle]

Thanks! I'll do that! Take care😊

Might I ask who built the guitar in this video? Are the G, B, and E strings tuned as on a 12 string? Did you use an alternate tuning in playing this piece?

[@barbaragraesle]

not quite sure if you did receive my answer? It has immediately disappeared 🙄

[@ronniefowler7309]

@@barbaragraesle I did not receive your reply, but I'm still curious about your guitar and the tuning.

[@heartsandbones5270]

The builder is Joe Striebel-a bavarian guitar builder.Last year he won the price "Best guitar builder in Germany". It`s standard tuning and half of a 12 string guitar! Greetings Barbara
