Sun Kil Moon - "Australian Winter // The Leaning Tree" (Combined Cover)

Here I play a mishmash of Sun Kil Moon's "Australian Winter" and (the second half of) "The Leaning Tree" from the album Admiral Fell Promises (2010). The transition between them in my cover occurs in the middle of what you think will be a 2 5 1 cadence but turns out to be a 2 5 6. If I recall this same transition happens to the second half of Leaning Tree, and maybe that's why I thought to throw them together. I play on a custom Halcyon 6 string guitar, that I call a 'baby baritone'. I don't have a nylon string guitar so steel will have to suffice. I was at one time the Sun Kil Moon guy on YouTube and maybe I can reclaim the throne if I keep going!
