Phil is a world class guitarist. No wonder his interpretations are so exceptional.

[leftymartinomc]

You make that Collings sing, brother! 

[a1cswiz1611]

I read that you play by ear but instead of provided the tabs can you send me the chords? I have such a hard time figure out those chords at the transition points. Thanks you

The guitar sounds absolutely wonderful. I really want a Collings.

[callmeic]

is this in standard tuning?

[phillipcmiller99]

Many thumbs up here Phil. The melody is great and played with perfect sensitivity. I have a Collings 12-fret 00-1 (2004) that I'm quite fond of, but I don't think it has opened up quite as sweetly as yours. I can't wait for mine to be 24 years old! I usually use my Goodall 000 on youtube, but you can see and hear my Collings 00 on "Darcy's Guitar"

That was simply gorgeous. Love your technique, tone, and interpretation.

[GotXXRiceXX]

Amazing 

[manof84]

Shouldn't have sold it. Wow what tone! Great playing by the way.

[luukey9]

That's fine sounding guitar... is it a parlour size? Very rich sound... and your fingering is beautifully precise. A lovely rendition!

[mahajohn]

That's a fanTASTIC rendition of this song. Kudos. Folks will fall in love with you if you play this at parties.

[greekflatpicker]

Beautiful playing and great sounding guitar.

[jeroentim79]

Nice! Is the capo over the D en G strings only?

[montanaokie]

I think this is the best guitar version I have ever heard. Very nice.

[Stratboy999]

Lovely

[Yrksman]

Wonderful! I'm going to have to learn this!

[ronclegg]

...very,very nice.

[redcarsarasota]

I keep listening to this. It's so inspirational for those of us just starting out. 

[jmac509]

Very nice arrangement, well done. I especially liked the bend at 1:06.

[obxgrrl]

I love this tune. Fantastic interpretation. Do you have tab for this? Thank you for sharing.

[philvolan]

@obxgrrl Thank you. I'm not very good at writing tab and I never wrote one for this, but you may notice that I'm using a partial capo made by Shubb on the 2nd fret. I'm playing in D position. It is a very fun way to experiment. If you're ear is pretty good, you might be able to figure it out.

[ganjaking187]

awesome i just got one of these 12 fret's and i love it lol

[westcoates]

Thank You , That was wonderful and a nice part of my day to get to hear you play. Fred

[Rhapsodist11]

Lovely song, thank you!

[RythymNblues]

I love this song, always brings me back to the civil war series which popularized it. Wonderful guitar rendition.
