Allen Dale-Ring of Fire

[allendale1962]

I play strictly by ear, and I don't use sheet music.

[Bassbariton92]

@allendale1962 That´s very impressing

[Bassbariton92]

Do you play it by ear or do you have the sheets of all the songs you play? Very good playing, i´m so jealous!

[DrTarr]

Great!! :) very very funny! i'm listening for the 5th time in succession!

[pianofreak1993]

nice to see that you've made cover from my favourites song by Johnny Cash!

[UnionPacificPL]

[DanZor1993]

GREAT

[allendale1962]

THANKS

[smokeytoken]

This is my favorite song. And I love the way it sounds, but you add just a twist that makes even more enjoyable.

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[allendale1962]

I would LOVE to meet some of my YouTube fans also! Thanks Kevin!

[ChineseMorshu]

That is really superb! Have you considered writing it out as sheet music? I'd love that. :)

[allendale1962]

I can't write music. Not my thing Sorry.

[mortson978]

you can read sheet music, right?

[allendale1962]

I read sheet music painfully SLOW! I do better by ear. Trust me on that one!

[mortson978]

well, it's nice to see another musician who is crippled in that sense. I do a lot by ear too. I cannot play and read simultaneously.

[allendale1962]

I don't consider this as crippled! I consider it a blessing! Folks like you and I, don't HAVE to read Chicken Scratch to sound pretty!

[mortson978]

that's true, it is pretty nice to be able to play everything by memory.

[allendale1962]

thanks.

[Torte4World]

totally awesome!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[missmorbid1912]

Oh, I absolutly love this!

It's very original.

I love how you added the ragtime feel to it.

[allendale1962]

thanks

[mortson978]

If i could make a request: When johnny comes marching home.

It's 6/8, also, i suggest you transpose it to a minor, it makes it much easier.

[allendale1962]

I only know the civil war song When Johnny Comes Marching home. I play it in 2/2 time and in G minor. I am not going to post it soon tho, as my videographer is still very ill. Thanks.

[mortson978]

wow, 2/2. Inconceivable. Then again, i am just a rube. I always play it in 6/8, but i would love to hear your version. I hope your videographer isn't too ill.

[allendale1962]

Len is recooping just fine, thank God.

[mortson978]

good to hear.

[addii578]

its good but johnny cash sings so much deeper

u should have played in lower tune but it was great to hear

[allendale1962]

Thanks. Two things to keep in mind are" Johnny played a Guitar, and I a piano. Johnny sang bass and I sing alto. I didn't sing on this vid tho. I'd like to hear your rendition of this for comparison down the road.

[GreggPianoMan]

wow love this every time i watch Love Johnny Cash,,, thanks

[allendale1962]

Thanks! I love Johnny and June too!

[jarrett798]

[BrianBlouin]

[allendale1962]

Thanks, Brian.

[nolhay]

[allendale1962]

[ssprofession]

[allendale1962]

This is a PIANO not a GUITAR! LOL. Don't tempt me! I can play this in A,but like G for piano.

[maddog5461]
