[guitarman111100]

I really enjoy this. I hope someday i can become this good at fingerpicking guitar haha i'm i big fan of james taylor. But outstanding job.

[dontdareforget123]

im 16, and i wish i could play as good as you do! wish u could teach me haha :) you're really really good!

[sosauto]

@dontdareforget123 Thx for the kind words. It took me a lifetime to learn...so don't be discouraged. Keep trying.

[AnnasxVideos]

Hey if you learned this by ear, then you must be the next eric clappton! haha good job!!!

[hartistry]

Keep up the good works.

Sincerely, David Hart

[violeirosurbanos]

Great! All thumbs up from Brazil!

[Crafty1980]

This is so brilliant. Would love to learn to play like this rather than just using a plectrum. Is this peice just made up of different bits n peices? I've seen John D. Loudermilk mentioned... If you could mention a few good songs of his that would help me learn this sort of playing I'd be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Ben (UK)

[sosauto]

@Crafty1980 Hi Ben - Thx for the kind words. I learned by listening to Chet Atkins and James Taylor.

[h8tenonyou]

Hey man this is cool, we are just about as far apart as night and day but thats ok because we are both musicians, I am a tasteful young man and can appreciate pieces like this and i was wonder what your motivation for writing songs/playing guitar is. Thanks

[yodaboy432]

ive listened to afew of ur vids now and the amount of love and soul u show in ur pickin is amazing u are on of the best pickers i have ever seen (:

[kidnoz]

Awesome! I have been playing my own version of this song for years!! A friend of mine showed me how, and I played what I could remember, so it hardly sounds like this, but it is great to hear the real song!! Your guitar sounds beautiful by the way!! Thanks for posting, have a great day

[sosauto]

@kidnoz Well...this isn't much like the original John D. Loudermilk version. Just what I've hacked together by ear...but it doesn't sound too bad.

-john

[joechiocca1]

wow, i love watching this. this one minute 25 sec peice has more feel and groove to it than... well i dont know, its just awesome! put a lesson up if ya got any time? thx 4 posting this none the less.

[johannesguitarist]

Very good!

[etheneMoore]

To be honest hexxle, I either watch all tutorials for guitar on here (youtube) or I know another site that I found on youtube called EASYSTRINGS (dot) INFO that is really really helpful, with stacks and stacks of videos, it really did help me out.

[12Radius]

Nice work, what year is your 00-18? and are your bridge pins bone? nice tunes on all yours.

[sosauto]

Yes - bone. 1967 - among the last made before Martin changed to the new bridge stock design that many feel had a negative impact on treble response.

-john

[KlodeB92]

Very impressive ! I love it ;can't help thinking of Marcel . Thanks for postings .Have a good week end .Claude

[REPENTLuke13three]

John you are a wonderful guitarist, I am honing out my own style right now < I am a pastor and I have a very very deep love of raw gospel bluegrass Like Larry Sparks, and Ralph Stanley. But was once very heavily into hard rock . I know I am headed toward a different, and perhaps untraditional style of gospel. But your vids draw me back time and time again, I hope to be as good as you someday. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT Contribution!

[sosauto]

I wish you success in your quest for musical expression. Thanks for your kind words. I am honored and humbled, Bless you.

-john

[AreYouWetYet]

[angry1278]

[sosauto]

For some reason it is only available in hi quality mode - unfortunately, the sound quality is not as good in that mode. I have notified the YouTube staff - hope that helps.

-john

[sosauto]

Must be a glitch in YouTube's software - Try clicking 'reload page' on your browser and the video will sometimes play normally.

Iam so happy to see someone playing "windy a, warm",remembering one of our early guitar fathers Merle Travis, and also Chet Atkins, a french guy called Marcel Dadi, and of course the maestro Tommy Emmanuel....but you know what, I just love the way you play it!!!

Really happy to get to know you

I echo Zepidy's thoughts - PLEASE PLEASE make a cd! I'd pay anything for it...and you could include all the songs you have on youtube. But would ya sign it for me too? Great playing INDEED!!! Love it love it love it.

[zepidy]

you have to make a CD man! you're one of the greatest fingerpickers i've ever heard! what i'm proposing you do is take all your cover songs and your original songs and make an album. it's never to late! i'm sure myself and thousands of others would die to hear some more of this great stuff!!

[llucabat]

[Manitor]

You are a great Guitarist sir.

[mizjessie44]

shucks..a senior moment...windy and warm it is not dry and dusty...

[mizjessie44]

awesome...It took a minute to recall Dry and Dusty?...I taped a friend of mine (who also plays it on mountain dulcimer) and another guitarist playing this on my baby Taylor in OK in 2003 at a dulcimer festival...I love it...your videos are so helpful...I sent this on to my son in CA who can learn anything after one time through!

[windergard]

And then I read the description...nice job on it btw.

[windergard]

Sounds just like "Windy and Warm" by Doc Watson/Merle Watson...me thinks its the same

[jessupar]

dude... read the description on the vid

[kenigor]

John, amazing song and always i remember the melody and how amazing this sound is... thanks for that. Regards from Brazil! Take care!

Great Finger Picking!

[purveyor24]

I don't know who specifically said it...but I concur...I downloaded this a year ago and everytime I'm feeling down, a little dose of "this and that" never fails to uplift my spirit.

[sosauto]

Your comment does the same for my spirits :)

-john

[purveyor24]

John...thanks so much for the response. I'm 58,have 3 guitars, and none of them sound like that!....Always a fan, and happy holidays to you and yours...and keep on keeping on....Jim

[elliepete]

how can this be downloaded?

[purveyor24]

Almost a year later and I still can't make my guitar sing like you do....Hope you and yours are doing well, and I'll be 60 on 12/10/08 but I'll keep trying to master the guitar,and if nothing else,keep trying to master your "this n that" just to impress others! Best wishes and happy holidays to you and yours, John...your video is a neverending gift...thanks again....Jim

[elliepete]

how can I download this?

[purveyor24]

I wish I could help you but did you notice my age? I'm happy ANYTHING works when it comes to computers...but I couldn't tell you how.Sorry,but keep trying...Jim

[Mouldytone]

Love Martin Guitars. Although I only own dreadnoughts I recon that 00-18 is lovely. Playing wise the string bending on Windy and Warm is particularly sweet. Great swing to the whole thing. Congratulations and thanks for the clips.
