BLACK IS THE COLOUR (Traditional Song)

[ajnagreen]

Very creative, theatrical and haunting... wonder-full

[ichingiching]

haven't looked at this vid for years.. i remember it now..

[fivethumbsfrank]

you did a good job on this. My favorite version is by Hamish Imlach but yours is very emotional and does [as someone else said] paint pictures in the mind of long ago for some reason.

[ichingiching]

I was listening to Hamish Imlach today coincidentally. 'The Banks of Claudy' thank you for kind words.. Mike 

[23SarahBeth]

Lovely! I really love your expression! So the black-haired lady is gone, but would you consider me, a blonde?

[ichingiching]

thats realy kind SarahBeth.. its lovely that you dropped me a note.. M:)

[Linguaspectrum]

Fabulous version of a great song. If I'd been sitting on an English Man-O-War around Nelson's time, I would think I'd have heard a similar version.

[ichingiching]

thats a nice added colour to the story.. yes some old sailor far away and facing some grim times reminiscing about a true love long left behind on shore... hny M:)

[ilovejpoon]

[ichingiching]

Hi there.

Beautiful song, touching rendition! I have just bought a guitar and want to try and learn this as my first song as it means something to me. I can play all the chords now but would love to know how to learn the picking as you play it as this is the nicest I have heard. Is this a known pattern of picking or is it unique to your version of this song? I would be greatful for any info that would help me play it similar your version.

Kind Regards

Paul

[ichingiching]

Hi Paul.. thanks for your kind words.. I have been playing a long time so my style is unique to my character although it is based on a a range of finger picking styles.. the basis can be heard in the old black, blues guys like Missippippi John Hurt etc.. maybe you can take a look at my 'free guitar lession.. its a light hearted way of saying..this is how I play' but it covers the basics.. drop me a note if you want any more pointers.. its just practice..

[3rdDerivative]

I really like your take on this song...I've never thought about it in this way before, but it makes perfect sense.

[ichingiching]

thats how the song spoke to me.. same with 'ride on'

[shohdukhtar]

Perfect! 5 stars! (:

[spinnoff57]

[snowdancer]

Wow, Mike, this is beautiful. Nicely cammed and beautifully and sensitively played and sung.

[ichingiching]

I really enjoyed playing this and with all the lights turned down it made it a very atmospheric recording.. thanks SD

Powerful, meaningful, and ultimately stunning.

Midnight.

All ghosts came out of their hiding places, magical gravitated to this fascinating

music..........It's their favorite song!

[heavenlyworld]

It's absolutely great and wonderful, Mike.

The spooky performance fits completely to this song and to your voice. The witching hour has

already begun (: ).............
