San Francisco with Beautiful Day by U2 acoustic cover

Been a long 7 years. Hey, everyone.

[@unitedstatesofmordor]

Glad to see you're back. It's good to know you're still out there. Hoping all is well with you.

[@Passenger95]

Thanks. Little different, but still existing.

I'm studying on a computer that's not my own, so I'm listening on YT instead of from my files. Been listening to your music since high school and now I'm studying for finals week in my first semester in veterinary school. This is strange timing for a lovely surprise.

[@Passenger95]

Thanks so much.

Wonderful to hear your guitar and voice again! Adding your stunning photography to the mix provides a most “beautiful” cocktail. Thanks for sharing!

[@Passenger95]

Thanks, David! So good to hear from you!

[@mfkato]

Used to follow your old guitar gear videos, still got some SAD-1s around. Great cover!

[@Passenger95]

Thanks!

[@thisisnatedean]

Wow, I was really hoping we’d hear from you again someday! Guitar for Worship was really inspirational to me back in middle and high school.

[@Passenger95]

Thanks. Hopefully it'll continue.

[@ScottNeidert]

Awesome cover! Thank you Karl!

[@Passenger95]

Thanks man. Always felt this song was deeper than the early 2000's optimism allowed for.

[@ScottNeidert]

@@Passenger95 We can definitely use some optimism now.

The world needs to hear this!!!

[@Passenger95]

Thank you!

Thanks!

Hey man! So awesome to see this pop up on my youtube feed--beautiful arrangement, thanks for sharing this. I loved perusing guitarforworship back in the day, and have always hoped you'd pick up your pen (keyboard?) and start writing again at some point.

[@Passenger95]

I never stopped and it's 2010. ;) guitarforworship.wordpress.com

[@TheGuitarBling]

Splendid Karl ;)

[@Passenger95]

Thanks man.

Do you still have your matchless? You’ve improved a ton since you uploaded that vid

[@Passenger95]

haha I've never been one to let lack of skill stop me from broadcasting that lack of skill to the world. ;) And no I do not. Sold it to pay for my son's medical bills, and the guy won't sell it back to me. I'm on a 2004 Matchless Nighthawk now. Same preamp as the HC30, but in 15 watt version and with reverb. As much as I miss the custom HC30, I almost always used it on half power, and I do enjoy the Nighthawk's reverb. It's been a decent tradeoff.

[@joshgumbert]

It’s been a long time! Is this gonna be more regular? What was your tuning on the guitar?

[@Passenger95]

I certainly hope so, but it might've just been an impulse on a really good soul-searching trip. And it was drop D.

[@NaalMusic]

Karl!

[@Passenger95]

Well hello there.
