[lydhndrxca]

Thanks for sharing this, and the tabs my friend. I really enjoyed listening to it, and want to learn i myself now!

[SantiLlumihucci]

Greetings from ECUADOR to you sir!!!

It is certainly a great version in guitar of that beautiful hymn of John Edgar Gould and Edward Hopper...

I hope You are good.

See you soon.

[quarterstaff33]

Lovelly. Thank you. I would like to hear you play it with nylon strings. The steel strings are a little too tinny for me, but that is just my preference. I love your playing.

[aidenpurdiewazhere]

I really enjoy your version. The version that i'm learning sounds a bit different and is a it simpler but this is excellent.

[tnoonan3]

finally, a good acoustic cover of this beautiful melody!

[Chriskay021]

@Chriskay021 Guten Abend! :-)

[xJigglyTitanx]

i hear this tune played the organ just about every sunday morning, and i absolutely love your version. I love listening to your songs man!

[HenfieldWill]

@xJigglyTitanx It's a great tune, like many of those old hymn tunes - and just lends itself to a bit of fingerpicking!

:-)

the smile at the end it's epic..keep playing... i arrived here looking for the original "nearer" but.... thnx for your music!

[havik82]

The part where you start playing the more upbeat part around 0:50 sounds similar to the Mississippi John Hurt version.

[jedimaestro]

[fregglover]

Bethany version is so much better than hornbury...in my personal opinion, that is...

[Pwecko]

You always make me smile. Thank you doing all these arrangements and for producing all these videos. Don't you ever sleep?

[HenfieldWill]

ZZZZZZZZZZ......... :-)

[MrBillbroonzy]

Will. Thanks for your arrangement and thanks for kindly agreeing to play one of my favourite John Hurt pieces. An added bonus was the Rev. Gary Davis influence. Your arrangement is a fitting tribute to two fine musicians, a credit to yourself, and a personal delight for me and other You Tubers. You clearly enjoyed playing it and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed listening and watching. Thank you.

[HenfieldWill]

My pleasure - thanks for the suggestion! :-)

[melcina]

Love it, Will, as with all of your works. Esp, that smile at the end, too! Thanks for sharing. kat

You may be good but,.....you're no Will Fly!

Chet Atkins was once on a cruise ship sans guitar, while walking the deck he came upon a passenger strumming and asked to borrow the guitar. Chet, unrecognized, played a few tunes and returned the guitat to it's owner who replied, "You may be good but your no Chet Atkins"
