I was trying to learn this song myself, gave up because it's some way above my level! I like your version, it's got a lot of soul and feeling as opposed to some of the other covers on the Tube which are a bit mechanical. I honestly it would sound even better with a thumbpick and a bit of palm muting, but then I tend to think that about everything!
Hi! I'm Salsaceltica from APM! Love this tune and your smooth playing, I was just wondering what make of guitar you use... I really like the sound and it seems very easy to play (unlike mine!)
thanks for watching Stephen & I sure appreciate your very kind words!!
I've grown very fond of this guitar & one of the reasons is playability. It is short scale - 1 3/4 nut - light strings and after 8 years broken in nicely!! Think I'll go play her for a bit!
Is that necessacry to play this song with fingerstyle? I know that Tommy does it, but could it be played with a normal pick? btw u played this song really nice !
I know TE play with a flatpick, fingers, & hybrid style! Makes me wonder what I think I'm doing!! To my thinking this is best suited for fingers only - guess we should consider what the man himself does.
Wow!!!! That was really good!! I'm a big time Tommy fan and you play it almost just like him!!! :) You should do a duet with him!!! ;) hehe ANyways...great job!!!!!
I wouldn't even admit to owning a guitar with him around! What an amazing player. I do appreciate your kind words and thanks for taking time to watch, all the best, dale.
No problem I love good music and have always time to watch!! Maybe if you want you can watch my videos,too! I'm not a so good player as you!! But maybe you like a song!! :-)
Phenomenal cover!
