If you like this you GOT TO check out Tommy Emmanuel :) He must be the most amazing guitar player in the world in so many ways and he's a major inspiration :) And if you like Tommy you should check out Joe Robinson (19 years old, winner of Australia Got Talent) :) Great guitarist and composer and my biggest inspiration :)

Sounds really similar to the technique that Elliott Smith uses on 'Somebody I Used To Know'

[LibreEspiritu]

it sounds much diffferent when I play it at my 'fast' pace, then when you do.....so what am I doing wrong?? ....I think someone else on here said it was 'phrasing' -- so is there anyay you can show how to do that ??? I can barely hear the last note when u play it fast...am I confused??

Hello Neal !! :-) I want to buy Wechter Guitar but I would like to know from you which one is better: The Wechter Grand Auditorium or The Wechter Dreadnought. I am learning Fingerstyle and I also prefer rich sound guitar that comes with lower price and I think Wechter is best for me. But I don't know which one of these two guitars are good. Could you please suggest me.

Thanks :-) Greencheese :-P

hey i think im using the pick ur using!! :D

[jewelfewel]

when he plays it slow, it seems like he's phrasing the notes alot differently. when you speed up his slow phrasing it doesnt sound like the finished product at all

[Guitartricks]

the slowed down version is to show the picking pattern, not the necessarily the phrasing.

Thanks for watching!

Could one of your next videos talk about blues scales and different ways you could use them in a song?

[Guitartricks]

this is a good request, we've been getting a lot of requests on scales/leads lately.

nice

[sbent518]

i love how you can hear the not so perfect fretting on some of the notes, get that lovely little buzz. It's great that it's just playing and not perfect, just like everyone out there playing.
