[NickTheGreek4umyMILF]

wowwww he sounds like GOD!!!!!!!!

[MOSKII58]

dude, you play good and seem to sing on key, but do you always use that much vibrato in your vocals? i think if you toned it down, you'd come across more contempoary and in synch w/ the tunes you seem to generally perform.

nice work on the chordal arrangement (btw) also... there are some great finger-style arrangements of this song here on the tube as well. Mike Chapdelaine does one that covers both the melody and chord-rhythm together - check it out..

[mpm111144]

"All the leaves are brown..." are what THEY saw, at that time, in that "place." It's called poetic license. DUH Is why they wanted to go to L.A.  Oye vey!! :D)

[mpm111144]

Great! Period. :D)

[jokkerbeatz]

i can only hear anneliese Brown(German) and not all the leaves are brown^^

[DonPeppino100]

[endicott3]

Oh and by the way, there are no words to describe the astonishing amount of stupidity of the 12 assholes who thumbed this down. I don't know what these bums do with their lives. Most probably nothing.

[endicott3]

Hello goldhat3 friend. Cheers from France. I wish you live long and happily.

[TheMusicmaam]

Thanks for the lesson. It was great except i had to play it back about 1000 times to get the opening lick. I wrote down the strings so maybe someone else might find it helpful. It breaks down into three groups:

4323 222

4311 122

4322 233 then the esus chord

On the last group (4322 the second string starts with the note on the third fret)

Thanks man I 've been trying to figure out how to play this song forever obviously been looking at the chord charts which was my first mistake. I've spent 30 minutes on your web site and can play it though it is still pretty rough. By the By your guitar is very nice may be someday I'll have the bucks to get one like it. Thanks again
