Hi!

Tangerine - Chord Melody on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2gXUBpUk08

In this video I am playing a late 80's Ibanez Artist with a Seymour Duncan Jazz pickup (neck pick-up-series) through a Custom Billm Modified Fender Blues Junior in a custom designed cherry wood cabinet with a Jensen Special Design C15N speaker. I start off playing fingerstyle. I switch to a PICKBOY Exotic Pick ebony. I am using D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound Strings 09-42 and a 10ft Pig Hog "Western Plaid" right angle cable.

The video was shot with an iPhone 6s Plus with the FiLMiC Pro app, Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter and a Rode iXY Stereo Microphone.

Lighting is a single Fancier Studio Fan 500A 3 LED Light Panel.

For audio mastering, I've added a compressor and limiter in GarageBand.

Video highlights:

0:00 - basic arrangement played fingerstyle

1:33 - arrangement with embellishments played fingerstyle

3:00 - basic arrangement played pickstyle

4:28 - arrangement with embellishments played pickstyle

Peace Out!~Mick
