Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate. This song ("Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head") is a cover from the George Winston "December" album, which is a new-age solo piano thing. (Great album - I'm not really a new-ager but got hooked on this one young). I've always loved the melody and the way George plays it - very much a free-time, unaccompanied piece that breathes amazingly. I've been wanting to make a guitar cover for a long time and finally got to it and transcribed it. Once I tuned the G string up to an A it all came together.

I'm using the Axe-Fx II, JM45 model. It's actually played on a Tele (video guitar is different). The gainier parts are with an eBow. Filled out the left-hand parts with flatwound bass. And there's a strong helping of FAS-Reverb on everything.
