Fisherman

[GPa2010]

Wonderful! I first heard this around 1970 on Leo's "My Feet are Smiling" LP and I still can't play it!

You go girl! :]

[nixonpunk222]

marry me

[intricatic]

I'm jealous. You rock.

[pacificlnd2000]

Very nice...what's the make/model of your pick-up?

[busker12]

This video was recorded acoustically (unplugged), although the guitar is equipped with a Fishman Ellipse Blend pick-up.

[vampyerass]

Hello, you play this song beautifully. I'm trying to learn it. Would you consider posting a quick lesson. I just can't pick up the picking pattern. Even just the first couple measures would be a huge help. Either way, rock on.

[carlmsmith1]

Macyn- I just discovered you while looking for (hopefully) Leo playing "The Fisherman". All I have to say is WOW! Impressive playing! I've been jumping around listening to some of your 34 (so far) postings. You are a delight.

[Sejaynus]

Just right on the tempo. IMHO

[mjt11860]

do learn these songs by ear or use tabs or a little of both? always nice to hear u play.

[Benj888]

I love you.

[AudioImpression]

I just started taking finger style guitar classes at UWM, it's quite a change from picks. I like your version, it's very similar to how Josh plays it.

[rayjojo54]

This is the best I've ever heard since the original by L.K. Your playing is fantasic and you're very good lookin'!!!!!

[mattm101010]

There is nothing more to say than WOW!!! You are incredible.

[krumeneimer]

Awesome!

[hochbob]

Way cool girl!!

[dudefulness]

Beautiful. What a perfect face to play such a classic song.

I'd like to see you become famous. I'm pretty sure you can do it.

: P

[Twolfe38]

Macyn - I love your playing...and you seem so relaxed and playful during all of it. You have a real gift. I hope it brings you happiness and pleasure all of your life. Thank you.

[raystargazer]

A little slower than Leo, but man you got the nuances down. And that YAWN! LOL. Nice job!

[LITTERBUGG]

I love you!!

[LPFan3118]

Miss Taylor,that was absolutely perfect!

Keep on playin'!

Greetings from Hungary!

[JackalMusic]

Bravo! Much better than my version! I need to just practice it a few dozen more times before playing it live...

[2xVitamR]

wonderful again. You nailed it again.

Best regards

MichAEL

[stevethepilot]

You make that thumb picking rhythm look easy... its not.  I'd know.

[bolson567]

very well done. you can her john fahey's influence on kottke in this song. the tune to me sounds simlar to fahey's slingo blues.

but again really great cover

[vonbrach]

I have a few questions and a request. First, do you know Kottke's song Junebug? He plays it on the twelve-string guitar and I was also wondering do you know whether or not he had to raise the action to play slide on that? My request is for you to play the aforementioned Junebug on the twelve-string if you have one.

[busker12]

Higher action isn't as important when using a slide on a twelve-string because it has more string tension to support the slide. I use a heavy slide (cut from a plumbing fixture) on a six-string with normal action. You just have to be a little more light-handed to avoid rapping the frets. I don't have a twelve-string. If (or when) I get one, I'll try to learn Junebug and post it.

[stargate669]

what was the name of the plumber you cut the fixture from and has this effected his love life?

[somewhere59]

you simply have it! Wonderful

[vonbrach]

Is this tune taken from the Kottke book of transcriptions called Eight Songs?

[busker12]

Yes

[brian48085]

@busker12

Is that book give tab...I play this now by just figuring it out but always had trouble with that first part. Do you slow it down? How to master this?

[brian48085]

@busker12

Does that book give tab...I play this now by just figuring it out but always had trouble with that first part. Do you slow it down? How to master this?

[busker12]

That book does provide the tab. Try playing the first part slow for a while until it starts to feel comfortable. Then try speeding it up.

[keyeword]

very pretty, young lady...well done!

[megottabeblue]

awesome picking!!

[colbrot]

is that just standard tuning??

[busker12]

Yes

[identitytraveler]

wow! look @ that pickin'! great job!

[crawleykakes]

Real nice job once again ~~~~ ~ !

[1wiesehoefer1]

very nice, i tried it also on my side, because with this song 35 years ago began my interest for leo kottke, keep on picking and best wishes from germany

[ihateyotube11]

beautiful

[maximumriffage]

nice work, beautiful smile.

[edgluhrs]

I like the feel of your performance. Sweet.

[mcphate]

very nicely done.

[10speeder]

Nice. Your speed is just fine. Even Kottke himself seems to rush through some of his songs.

[hueseph]

Got that Travis picking down pat! Great playing.

[jkilcull]

6 & 12 string guitar rules!

I'm a Crow River Waltz man myself...

you are such a natural...

[texaz2step]

You are a natural on the guitar. Wow!

[macyn72]

Hey macyn love your music Also loving the name :D

[sergios12345]

hi...

all the best...greets from Italy...

would you post a video of you playng a Bert Jansch's song?

Maybe Running from Home..

you are cute

[prasiddha]

I don't mean to sound like a stereotypical guy, but I am just SO surprised to see a woman playing Kottke! And doing it SO well!

You're almost there. Just keep practicing to the metronome, and you'll get to the speed that was on the "6 & 12 string guitar" album.

PS:

Another "guy thing to say", but you're very cute...You don't have a facebook do you? :)

[user192021]

Dude, she's like 13.

[vtutorial]

Is she? I thought she was in university?

[jpiir]

Excellent *****

[greenecycle]

Hi Macyn, Glad to see you post again! Other new songs are great too. Long time Leo fan myself and it's great to see young people playing his songs. You are progressing quite nicely and I'm sure you have proud parents. Remain true to yourself and keep that sweet smile. God bless.

Joel
