Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter - Guitar Finger Picking Solo - Jim Wright

[weg711151]

Your very welcome- the melody really stands out when it is played via an instrument alosne and an acoustic guitar is one of the best-

Nice post

Beautiful, Jim

@weg711151 Thanks so much for your nice comments. Jim

Clever arrangement Jim. Man I have rarely seen you play the same guitar more than once or twice. How many do you own? I have enough problems managing just two.

@carvetop01 My guitar collection has drastically decreased.....I was up to around 40 guitars, but ever since I started having medical issues (cancer), I've been selling them as fast as I can; I'm down to around 10 guitars now. I loved'em all, and it was fun collecting and owning them, but it's finally time to "thin out the herd". Thanks for checking out the vid. Jim

I’m a guitar player myself, but mostly rock. Fingerpicking is something I want to learn but still haven’t found a peace that I like and which is playable for me. Do you have an transcription Mrs Brown? I sure appreciate that!

By the way, do you know our Dutch guitarist Harry Sacksioni? He’s master in this style. Listen to his version of Killer Queen! It’s on YT.

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz I'm sorry, I don't have tabs or music for anything that I do. I play everything by ear and by kinda listening and watching other guitar players. No, I'm not familiar with Harry Sacksioni - I'll check him out - thanks for the tip. By the way, I spent almost a year in Holland back in 1991 or 92. It's a beautiful country.

@MrJimdeb Hi Jim. I just saw you're American, I thought it was British. I suppose Mrs Brown, which is very British, gave me that idea. And saw you were at the Air Force. Well then you just have been to Leeuwarden which has an Air Force Base. I live there and also spend my army days at that base. Loved it!

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz I was stationed at Soesterberg AB back in the early 90s and loved it there. I think they closed that base didn't they?

[Aristotelezz]

@MrJimdeb Yes I believe so. Soesterberg was mostly an American base and the cold war is over so it could beclosed. And I can understand that your rather there than in Afghanistan.

@MrJimdeb Have you heard of the gitarist Igor Presnyakov? I discovered him this weekend. He's from Russia and lives here in Holland. There plenty of him on youtube. You may like him!

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz Yes, I've listened to many of his videos and he is great -one of my very favorites. I didn't know he lived in Holland. I kind of copied one of his songs - "The Girl is Mine" and posted it to YouTube. I listened to him play it and learned it by watching and listening to him. I used a baritone guitar so my version sounds quite different. But he is the "best".

Hi Jim. Streetmusicans always put first some money of themselves in the basked. Just to make themselves look good. Maybe after this comments it starts to run and you get more comments.

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz Yeah, that's funny. I need to put a lot of money in the basket....

[Aristotelezz]

@MrJimdeb I meant maybe you have to give yourself, let a friend do that, a few compliments. And the rest will follow.

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz Yes, I know what you meant - I was just joking around with you. Thanks - it's a good tip.

[Aristotelezz]

Well let me be the second one that compliments you! I'm looking for songs that like this, that are played like this. Very well done!

[MrJimdeb]

@Aristotelezz Well, thank you so much - I can't believe - two comments in two days after no comments in a year. So happy you found this song. I see you're from the Netherlands; I've got a good youtube friend in the Netherlands who I stay in close contact with. If you look at some of our latest songs/videos, you'll see some of our conversations. Thanks again for the nice comments.

well played, i like it

[MrJimdeb]

@herrtucker Wow, I put this up on YouTube a year ago, and you're the first person to comment! So I appreciate you taking the time to listen and provide some positive feedback. Thanks.
