very nice style i havew a wierd way of playing that song. thats a very hard thing to do. i'm actually bassist but you have what i dream i could do on guiatr
Just great Will - you really enjoyed that one - fantastic arrangement and fantastic playing. Now I will have to go on your website and try for the next few months to learn it.
Hi HenfieldWill, Love your picking and Love the song My Mom use too sing that when I was a kid! Lost her in '95! Lost my dad in '89 he played like you and left me his 1933 C.F. Martin guitar! I want too lean too play it, I play piano, my dad didn't know I knew how too play so I was surprised when he left me his guitar! Just curious but do you teach guitar? I've taken the guitar too a few people and they tell me too put it up and don't touch it GOODGREIF!! Dad left it to play!!:))
Can I ask where you are at maybe you could give me some pointers:) I am in Fort Wayne, Indiana, or do you know someone here that would take me serious about learning and not tell me just too put it up for goodnesssake:) When I have had people play it for me it sounds BEAUTIFUL!! The last thing I remember about my dad is when he was playing it under our Christmas Tree and singing White Christmas:)when I was little I think that's just before he & my mom divorced.
Well dadgummit I just saw your website!! So I know where you live just ignore the previous reply! :) My husbands mother is from Scotland! I lost My Babe 2 1/2 years ago, but I am getting ready too join the church where he and I where married in 1973 and with My Lords help I'm doing OK! I still miss him terribly but know that I will be with him again when it comes my time! Hope too talk too ya later! Keep up the good work love thoses old songs! :)
Even though you call the stuff that your playing "stride guitar", there is really no such thing as "stride guitar". The stuff that you play is actually called "swing or jazz guitar".
The term "stride" describes a PIANIST'S left hand as he plays the base note on beat 1 and the chord on beat 2. Ragtime piano and stride piano are examples of striding the left hand.
I'm aware of stride piano - and play it myself! I use the term "stride guitar" - half in jest - as an alternative way of describing the regular thumb pick on alternate notes that characterises the playing of Broonzy and Brownie McGhee. :-)
Just great! Brilliant playing! Gotta tag it to my favorite(s)! Cheers, Dave (Small Days)

Yes - I've taught a bit over the years, and put up the odd instructional piece on YouTube. Just enjoy that '33 Martin! :-)
