seagullplayer, The mighty dreadnaught strikes again.

Even though she's using cheater chords for the "hard" ones, you can get away with it cuz they still sound good on the mighty dread. lol. She must really love that guitar cuz it looks like it takes everything to wrap herself around that thing and play it. The guitar looks absolutely huge in her hands.

It's a good recording; the guitar really sounded sweet.

She has another live set where she plays a J-200! She is standing when she plays it, I don't think it would fit in her lap.

What is a "cheater chord"? If it sounds good, it is good.

Her Bm shape is 2X4432 and her D is 200232, both using her thumb on the bass string. I don't consider this cheating.

My wife, who is almost five foot one inch, owned a D18 (exactly the same size as a Hummingbird) when we were married. She has since sold it and bought a OO18 which turned 100 years old this year.

Thanks seagullplayer , I enjoyed that.

This is an acoustic version of her current radio single.
I first heard her on the "highway" on serious XM.

TonyKgull , I guess she does sit with that J-200, I have seen her play a black one too.
Wonder if Gibson is a sponsor, wouldn't that be a sweet deal.

seagullplayer,TonyKgull,Derick,Jim, she looks like she's mad at the world- and she has waaaaayyyyyy too many tattoos- I appreciate intense, which she is, but.... just not my cup-o-tea-
If I have to choose a female artist today, (and that is not a sexist remark) it would be Miranda Lambert- and only marginally-
she tends to stay Country, in her music, and tries to pay it forward- but, she has issues as well that don't play well to the big picture, IMO-

I make my comparisons by remembering, Tanya Tucker- and later, K.T. Oslin- I guess I ain't keepin up-

Jim, I just call them "cheater chords" when someone plays a chord without the root note (her Bm and F) for no seemingly apparent reason other than not being able to play them yet.

She played the root note on all the other chords so she obviously doesn't have anything against playing the root note of the chord for any sort of style preference or anything.

It was not a diss so don't get offended for her. It's just what I call them to I.D. them quick and not have to type all this out. (Ya, that plan worked. LOL ).

My point was not about her playing ability. My point was about the guitar and how nice the dreadnaught sounded even though root notes were left out of some chords.

I wish y'all would stop it about dreadnaughts

I saw a Gibson J45 used last week in real life- I understand why it's a favorite after hearin it live and in person- I don't need another guitar right now-

though I do want another A and L- Legacy

seagullplayer, TonyKgull, Derick, Jim, ya know, I had an Alvarez AD60- I have an Epiphone Pro Dove, albeit cheap one, and a Yamaha F335- the Low E on the Alvarez was just too boomy, although the rest of the strings were nice soundin- the other 2 just don't blow my dress up

..... and, I noticed on the Yamaha the other evenin, it cut the circulation off in my right arm almost immediately

that can be unlearned, I realize... maybe next year

Garland, All jokes aside, we do realize the dread is not for everyone. They are quite big and can be very uncomfortable for people who are under a certain height, or just have short arms due to its size. (I've actually known people who were short, but had very long arms so were ok with a dread.. We come in all shapes and sizes! lol )

This is why I mention the dread when I see a "small" person playing one. It's just cuz I know what kind of challenge it is for them to even get their arms around the thing, never mind play it for any amount of time when they could easily just be picking a smaller guitar to play. I just find that an impressive level of commitment to what they love, whether it's the guitar itself or whatever reason they have for picking the dread.
