Wildfire - Michael Murphy

[mamalied]

Nice job of a great song. Your guitar sounds flippin' sweet!

[paulmart2765]

Excellent job. I did a search and found your version. The other night I was playing in a small group outside "campfire" type setting (sans fire) and someone requested wildfire; a song a heard a bizillion times growing up but never played before. So I winged it and was surprised when I saw your video that I guessed the same key. Almost played exactly the same. I added A little riff in the middle comping the guitar riff. X57777, xx7675, x55777. Picking the strings with my ring finger while strum

Good Job, but am I the only one that noticed that you changed one of the words in the end?

[catndryer]

Not bad....I wish I could do as well.

wow!- when i was little, my dad used to play this for me- all he had to do was play a few cords and i would stop crying every time- awesome job!- this song holds so much magic for me and you did an amazing job!- felt like i was sitting at my fathers feet again- thank you- was starting to forget where i came from.......thank you.

I like the way you damp the strings when trying to play a chord. Callouses must be hurting you. Keep trying you'll get it.

Im a fan of this song and I was looking at how Michael Murphy had changed his looks and dress through the years and saw your related video and said what the hell, this is going to be bad. Boy was I surprized your pretty darn good, your voice has natural resonance and your guitar playing is great and this is not your normal 3-4 chord country song. I wouldn't think about atempting to play and sing this song at the same time. outstanding

Thank you very much! I've loved this song for years - ever since my brother taught it to me. Tom

Nice piece of music there. A classic at that!! I think you would sound pretty good performing some old John Denver tunes. You have a similar voice and you seem to have the playing down. Oughta give it a try. ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH, by request!!!

[uonpenkonlao]

Awesome work..Thanx for the inspiration..

[NCWMedic]

Nice Job. I will be working on this one next. God Bless.

[dawood121]

Nice job, I really like how you played it in your own style. Your guitar sounds beautiful, what kind is it?

[TomDNaples]

Thank you for the nice comment. It's a 1997 Taylor 710KCE. That means it's a "level" 7 in appointments, 10=dreadnought size, K=Koa wood, C=Cutaway, and E=Electric.

Great version! Keep it up. Obviously jam 9166 lacks any musical acumen and is envious of your God-given talent!

[jam91266]

[jam91266]

what a fck is this crap!! do another thing!!

[TomDNaples]

I've been asked a few times to post the chords so here goes. The song is in the key of D with the verses going from Dmaj7 to Gmaj7. The chorus is G, F#m7... and G, F#m7, Em7, A(7), D. I don't know what chords the original uses but this key fits my vocal range. Thanks fo much for the great comments! Tom D.

Very nice arrangement and vocals. Your guitar playing is really superb too. Gracias from a fella out in the desert, sun is about to rise....
