"Bean Time" by Leo Kottke

[saculvad]

...that's what I play :]

[saculvad]

...you have a nack for the man, I gotta say that :]

....do it onna 12srting, then I'll be impressed :]

[andrewlardner]

@saculvad Well if I ever get another 12-string I'll give it a shot just for you my friend

[saculvad]

...awesome.....now, can you do it on 12 string? :]

[andrewlardner]

@saculvad I reckon I could but I don't think I'd care to. I think this is one of those pieces Leo never much played on a 12-string.

[TheRemdog101]

where can i find a tab or music for this song?

[andrewlardner]

@TheRemdog101 Hey Remdog, I went ahead and put the relevant information for you in the video description.

[asajan55]

Great sound!This is Martin's sound .

[iadmike]

i've had the eight songs book for like ten years...i'm still tackling this song....slowly but surely...hehe

[inky960]

Great picking - and love the Martin's sound ... or the sound you pull out of it. Love the missing pick guard, too. Ha. You know, you have that unusual, "darning needle"-shaped thumb, just like Kottke's. Looks double-jointed or something -- very advantageous for this kind of picking, I'd imagine. I have a short stumpy thumb, but still I love to finger pick. All in all though, I'd trade thumbs with ya. : )

[jwiwood]

Nice cover. Those are some big shoes to fill. Well done and keep on pickin!

[x95959]

Fantastic! Execellent guitar work. One of my all time favorites by Leo...

[Volvodad]

Unbelievable! Nice job.

[PearTree37067]

Are they acrylic nails?

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

@PearTree37067 I've used both. The thumb looks really thick there so yeah I probably had an acrylic overlay for this video

[PearTree37067]

Thanks...your tone is great...awesome performance!

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

This is from the book "Eight Songs" by John Stropes

[Freewalker911]

This is terrific, very nice job!

[Tman4000]

and I love how he laughs until he starts playing, then it's all serious :D

[Tman4000]

Did you take the pickguard off of your Martin?

[daf827]

Fantastic! Must have been a bitch to learn, even with the Stropes TAB! You have Leo's right hand technique mastered. Great job!

[zgr9]

this is pretty hardcore man, good job

[ritzieboy]

Wow, Young man you have a god giving gift for playing the guitar. And yes, alot of us like learning Kottke guitar tunes because he has truely written some real footstompers!! You played this footstomper tune perfectly with such feeling that I would have sworn it was the master himself!!!! P.S> If you ever come to Ocean City, Maryland ....and sit and play your guitar on the boardwalk ...you could make a fortune in tips!!!!!!

[noraaron4321]

sounds alot like leo. it's great

[jsgaiser]

wonderful playing and really good sound. Are you in standard tuning? Thanks a lot.

[Tman4000]

In this video, he's in D standard, but I think Leo actually plays in in E standard.

[rimbaldcatt]

Pretty nice there, Andy! Now, when are you going to help me figure out Ice Cream?

[mistabook]

Usually I get irritated when I'm looking for something on the 'Tube and keep finding "tribute" videos and remakes, but this was really solid! Nice work.

[erictheangrypenguin]

Dude, that's awesome! You've done a fantastic job of emulating the greatest acoustic fingerstyle player ever to live... not an easy task. Well done!

[jwiwood]

Good job, kid. You are going to be a star!

[jandngood]

The real deal! Not some hack job. Really awesome playing.

[wtfievh]

THIS is guitar playing. Leo is a monster and you handled it very well. Great job!

[ManganeseMan]

nice work!

Mn.

[guitarmusic1]

Excellent rendition.

[LAURIELARDNER]

thank you! one of our favorites.

[oreillybrett]

sick, sick, sick. Nice piece, and it suits you so well it's a tad scary.

[Oblivia58]

WAY awesome!! So impressive. My that does keep your hands busy, doesn't it? That was way, way too cool! Fantastic! I LOVED it...and I think I'll watch it again, and again, and again!!

[Esbenmad]

Amazingly played! Kottke really has a cool and unique style!
