With a nicer studio I decided to redo some of my previous arrangements, and here's my interpretation of "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the Disney's Toy Story. I feel much more satisfied with this take than my old take - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcd-zXJQ4os. If you have been enjoying the old one, I hope find even more enjoyment in this new take!


My simple recording setup:

- Instrument: Ko'olau T-1 Hawaiian Ash (w/ aNueNue fluorocarbon strings)
- Audio: Apogee MiC, GarageBand (+20% reverb, no EQ)
- Video: Canon S95, iMovie


Like, comment, favorite, subscribe and share are mostly appreciated! Thanks for watching!

Great arrangement and playing but you need some vocals on that song!
Anyway, well done!
Cheers!

Thank you! What do you mean by "pinch it"? Not so good in English... sorry...

Hey Cam, yes I really treasure this Ko'olau. But the affordable Model 1 is no longer available... I'm thinking of getting a T-100 Koa :drool:
