Gareth Pearson

[donottawaguitar]

yes very smooth

[teunv111]

he plays amazing.. and I think the editing is great!

[MihaZ]

He played this at montreal jazz fest, it was sooo sick XD

[ForcedAgenda]

This guy isn't human...

[zargon69]

Gareth pearson is appearing at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff on Sunday 30th May as part of a NEWSOUNDWALES Welsh Showcase.

[RaptorJMR]

reminds me me of Tommy Emmanuel's Luttrell for some reason

[luvcomedy123]

@RaptorJMR yeah it does have a touch of that ay....also at around 2:00 reminds me of cannonball rag. this guy is VERY talented :)

[MNX58]

I like the editing!!

[sivamatti]

whattt.... damn you are so good, oh man.

they say you started when you was 15 years old and now you are 19?

[Nick05000]

Jack black started guitar when he wa 31 :P

[x00acoustic00x]

Brilliant retort, SunBurnt.

Sure, the editing was 'busy' - but it's hardly an ambient track now, is it?

I liked it - though I think it would have been more apt to use green rather than blue as a 'filter'...I'm not too au fait with video editing lingo, but I'm referring to the colour tint!

...green obviously conveying envy!

[RaptorJMR]

maybe its blue coz the song is called 'blue' smoke???

[Rutwinks]

I've only just 'discovered' Gareth Pearson, by doing a YouTube search of 'Fylde'. He plays a custom Fylde guitar, I own a Fylde Alexander. His playing is inspirational, sheer genius - I'll be getting his CD 'Adrenaline Rush' from HMV.

[vidpro68]

As an independant producer for the discovery channel, I liked the editing. I am also a guitarist, and the editing fit the upbeat tempo of the song. I would see where it could get old if it was a 1 hour concert, but, it is actually very well done.

The kid playing is literally UNREAL. Chet would be elated and proud, as well as Jerry Reed....

Thanks

Ron

[peedeesf]

Great playing!

HORRIBLE editing and visual effects! Editor - you are not the artist... your work distracts from a great performance! It's like the awful editing in the old orig. "Cream at the Albert Hall" concert. Just because you have FX doesn't mean you have to use 'em.

[sunburntproductions]

thank for your constructed critiscm. I disagree, editing is a art. The idea of this video was simply to make it eyecatching for a audience who would not usually listen to this style of music. Im guessing you are a guitar enthusiast who wants to see one shot of him playing. If you look on youtube you can see that already on other videos. Gareth loved the video I did for him.

[zachguy]

aaaa never mind, gareth makes this song his own

but i still like merle travis playing it

[Pkw101]

Im going to hunt this fellow down and have a jam! (and by jam i mean sit, watch and cry at his briliance)

[boomchickja]

i love him. Without a doubt.

Is there anyone, anyone who has the tab? id love to learn this but my ear just doesnt work fast enough...

[dwebster50]

So you can play Tommy Emmauel riffs and arrangements ....thats quite an accomplishment....Take a new turn and develop your own style Cheers

Calgary Dave

[Pkw101]

Actually This is Gareth's arrangement i believe, i havent heard Tommy play this song before...

[filipeguitar16]

i agree tommy hasnt played this

and this is gareth arangment (Y)

so good live

[zachguy]

this is pretty well the same as merle travis used to play it, minus the capo

[Tenntoad]

Sour grapes on your part Calgary Dave, eh?

[dwebster50]

Gareth you are very good ....its just that a guitar player , in my believe should develop his own style...Sorry , he sounds like Tommy

[Nick05000]

At least he chose a song by Merle Travis and made it sound better (imo) And he does sound like Tommy, so what? If someone sounded like slash and played the guitar I wouldn't see a problem. Sorry for the late reply.

[sghango]

what the fuck?!? can't believe this! 5 stars!

[HassanDude]

I saw him!! He came to my school and played this!! WOW IS HE EVER GOOD! <:O I wish i got his autograph :C

[joemichealmurray]

I just saw him live today !!

[LocoPCtheoneandonly]

WOW!!! SOMEONE SIGN HIM UP!!!

[zachguy]

that was great

[bluesmoke90]

i have this version of the tab, ive tabbed it myself

[Pkw101]

Wow can you send it to me? ask for my email, i tried to work it out but found it really hard

[ieatbc42]

do any of you know how old he was when he was playing this?

[sjdiag]

he was eighteen and had only been playing guitar for four years

[amigomusica]

where can I find tabs for this?

[maharg11]

Its his own version, so there is no official tab of it.

[amigomusica]

So where can I find tabs for the original version?

[acoustic2rock]

good play. I wish I could do that

[dcstrat]
