[Silverbells516]

Well, it's 5.20 am in NYC, and I awoke to a song I never heard before. I turned the volume up, and was able to catch a phrase to google. It's, "Flower," and after looking at the video, I'm in tears!!! Where this songwriter been all my life??? I'm now a fan!!!

[Tahreya]

[Tahreya]

[ilovekelly75]

This guy deserves to have mainstream success.

[crowechick66]

@ilovekelly75 lets just keep him our little secret. mainstream success is a deadly poison in most cases.

[3rdOffspringConcepts]

Wish I had a voice like that.

[jeffreyhsykes]

This video was my first taste of Amos Lee and sold me in a heartbeat once he started playing.

[DieselVanillaMix]

I am looking forward to seeing Amos in Berlin in two weeks. *yippieh*

[SOADfan6624]

does anyone know the chords

[jeffreyhsykes]

@SOADfan6624 He seems to be capo'd at six. The form would be your regular D-A-G shapes in that position (a la Helpless by CSNY).

Without the capo it seems to be G#-D#-C#. This is for the main verses. When he gets going faster there is a fourth chord added. Maybe an Em works. Great song. I'm hooked.

[jeffreyhsykes]

@jeffreyhsykes Scratch all that. In another video I can see it better. He is capo'd at 7. He starts with a D shape with the pinkie hitting the bass note (it would be the C# in the normal D triad, just move the shape up to the capo'd position) and the bottom string open. Then he moves the middle finger down a fret to form a sus chord. Then the third chord is back to the D shape with the root note with the index finger in what would be the B note in the normal D position.

[jeffreyhsykes]

@jeffreyhsykes In the lyrically fast part he holds this last position, but the last time he throws a G shape in the end. I am explaining this based on the normal shapes if you were playing without the capo. Just capo at 7 and move these shapes up.

[MrAUSTINCARTWRIGHT]

Just saw him in SF at the Filmore.....Amazing...

[theasphaltblogger]

Unbelievable. I just discovered this cat this evening and downloaded three of his cd's. He's amazing.  Thanks for posting this. Great vid.

[zhangzhongjing]

[Madlenea1]

He is fabulous!Incredible! Unbelievable!

[119craigs]

Wish i could get a good look at them chords! i got the D, A, Em chord prog. for the verses and D A Em G for the chorus, but there's some sick variations in there i cant make out.

[okiecopeland]

i bought tickets to the seattle concert on july 24th. i hope he sings some of his songs off of his newest album, although i wouldn't mind a bit if he sang only some of his classics. how bout that groove ya'll.

[amileary]

amazing, as always :)

[schmalexschmandy18]

I love this song! I went to his concert last night and they didn't let us take video or pics so i couldn't record anything... :( thanks for posting this!

[youdiokbaby]

i honestly cannot stop listening to this. amos lee is unbelievably talented.

[MusicFan2013]

Simply incredible. What camera are you using? The audio is superb.

[MishaRW]

@MusicFan2013 It's a lovely song. I used a Canon PowerShot S5 IS, but I think the acoustic concert setting is one of the reasons the audio is clear.

[MusicFan2013]

@MishaRW OK, thank you so much!

[pinkamos]

@MishaRW OMG thank for posting this! Your camera records so lovely. I am so happy you caught this vulnerable sharing side of Amos. I love moments like this and I would have never seen this without you and your Canon! thanks so much, loving video and song.

[tripleglz]

@MishaRW yeah this definitely had to be a nice venue

[CraceBS]

Great stuff as always MishaRW!!! I've seen him a couple of times, and after one show he was at the merch table and signed cd's, and I got a guitar pick from him that he signed. Very talented fella, and seem to be a good guy as well.

[deefender13]

Wow! This guy is fantastic! As usual, your videos are great and very much appreciated, Misha - thanks.

[sammystripe]

Thanks for posting these Misha. Wasnt able to go because I had 2nd row seats for David Gray that night. Your videos are always the best.

[MishaRW]

@sammystripe Thanks. I really wanted to go to the David Gray show, too, and it was a tough choice. If only I could be in two places at once. Awesome that you had such good seats. I hear David and Ray are touring together this summer so hopefully I'll make it to one of their shows.

[stinkytaco483]

Just a guy and a guitar can often be so powerful......

[MishaRW]

@stinkytaco483 True. It was a beautiful show.
