classical gas by simon davies

[philbateman1989]

Nice! A little different bit I like the spin you put on it!

[willnotallow]

If you have electric guitar and amp, can you only get one "sound"

from guitar, with a bit of tonal change? Or is there another bit of kit you need??

[lukefromdownunder]

this is a really nice version

[georgiamayjay]

i love all the pull offs and hammerons, nice lil riffs you put in there. good job :)

[gfinseth]

I like how you pick up the tempo at 1:06.

I'm going to put your the audio from your youtube videos on my iPod.

[bilco89]

I love this version too mate!! Some nice riffs in here

[LemmeLieHere]

Technically excellent, but not much feeling. Surely your teachers have said this.

[leirgauk]

lol he looks so serious and butch while playing xD very good, tho ^^

[GregHetfield]

Absolutely Awesome!

[TheSebbe13]

You're good!

[gnomium41]

[tomemapratt]

capo donde aprendiste a tocar asi¿ en el conservatorio?

[Kuklush]

epic.

[carpdemon99]

[spitfire999999]

i like this 1 more than your new version, just cos this is just the acoustic guitar witout effects. all good tho :D

Well played.

[orangmakan]

Really, really great...

[codebluen]

wow, sounds fantastic!

[KikAssConn]

[darmapow]

Outstanding what TAB did you use for this?

[TakesTwoToTango]

sounds like the Tommy Emmanuel version a bit. But rlly, everybody plays this song a tad differently :)

Most ppl play a mix of different versions (most notably the original by Mason Williams and Tommy Emmanuel's interpretation).

[SlowHand56]

Out Standing Kid....Rock on!!!!

[stringrin]

Superb!! You are playing this so effortlessly.

[surfergirl04]

where did u get those tabs... ur awesome.

[passionpicking]

Really great job, you get it!!!!!! Very nice you are following the great master T.E

Keep on picking!

CHris (passionpicking)

[lucusgriffin]

Simon, it's Lucus, great stuff on the G-tar, you have a bit of a fan base on here!ha.. catch you soon!

[trex250]

Great job! Anybody that could play this well would be very proud. You have the talent all you need are some of life's experiences (emotions)to brush upon your playing.

[here2LQQk]

also i forgot ... put p somthing you wrote please

[here2LQQk]

simon dude .... well done everyone says your good i think personaly think you have worked your ass off for the talent . keep going man your a rich man you just dont know it yet

[axeshack]

Hi Simon, awesome! many thanks for posting this! So how long did it take you to learn fingerpicking? I can't do it so did the usual thing and play the bass !!

[deadlydunc]

hi simon. i prefer this version. the other version is probably more accurate but this one is more honest. it has more feeling. to me anyway. 5*

[DickJohnson3434]

Pretty fucking excellent.

[zuky55]

gre

at improve!

[fullproofguitar]

guy, ive heard alot of version of this song, this is amazing i play this too but just the regular mason williams way

[freakyboy824]

I just want to let you know that I love this long and the others you have made, You are doing a great job and keep this s**t up!!

[dj2sora]

I love it man!!! I was playing this for about a day now and got the notes down, trying to add stuff of my own like you do, awesome man!!!! KEEP IT UP!! L..O..V..E.. it!

[radfordeddyshaun]

Awesome really really good 11/10

[Minikimii]

You friends with Miles? Woah... You're really good... Crazy Good... XD

[simondavies86]

ummm whos miles? thanks for the comment much appreciated!

[Minikimii]

XD Must've misread message then... >< You're very talented!

[ghettosmurfph]

excellent.. nice personal touch.

[woodywoodpissa]

That was just great! I'm really impressed.

[Louw91]

WOW GREAT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS MANG!

[tracer513]

that was very intricate guitar work. I saw both of your versions, I dont know what the other guitar is but both sounded great. Keep up the good work! later.

[jonnylazer]

impressed mate

[nickgozem]

hmmm its quite good but yeah it does mess around with the original too much, there are lots of ornaments but no dynamics and the picardy 3rds dont sound so hot ... but good effort!

[warrenpeace66]

I think the extra notes work, he's made this version unique to himself and he deserves much praise!! Go on lad!! Hella good!!!

[noxert323]

wow nicely done. how long have u been playing...

can u send methe tabs for this

[lgsk8r]

don't look so happy next time

[41ALPHA]

still a wiz

[BasseriP]

I like your version alot, can you send me those good tabs?

[Vietnam07]

Nicely done bro!

[ladislav2]

i don't like your style. You're adding too much notes there. Just play it as the original. It is not as difficult. I really dislike when masterpieces are changed somehow ... and you're messing it quite a bit, peace :)

[Bloemkamp]

Then try it yourself ? He plays it good in his on style.

[xXShmotzXx]

I am really impressed. 5/5 because your version is a hella unique and because you look like hank hill from king of the hill :)

[batmancrtny]

You ate a pimple on the late great Rob Johnsons ass.

[IgorKurzin]

That's just the greatest version of Classical Gas... I am deeply impressed.

Man, do you have the tabs to share with me?

[Fittfan]

You are put in this world for one reason. To become the best guitar player in the world! I hate to learn playing guitar. I wanna be as good as he is! Argh. Anyway VERY VERY VERY GOOD!! Y00 ARE T3H BEST GUITAR PLAYER ACCORDING TO ME!

[GuitarQween]

HELL YEAH GOO THA KID!!

good on ya dude =D thats wicked <<3

[drjnet]

nice work mate but you look kinda freaky too dude. lose the pyscho stare and you'll be tommy emmanuelle's guru... no offence!!!

[nameyes]

oh wickedly awesome dude

[misslil1985]

sounds beautiful!

[sikdood]

WOW

[utkarobot]

excellent this time, simon

[rubik1234]

Hey could you re-do the video slowly doing each stage of the tune?

[BeanBut]

sounds awesome wish I could play like u

[hammet8]

dude well done

[millball]

very good! good picking! and nice tweaks. keep it up!

[hammet8]

you are my hero!

[HurricaneHeidi]

Very crisp, but a bit too mechanical and perfectionistic - check out the one posted by SweetSheep - his is very expressive and dynamic.

[forbesfoofighters]

thanks ....just thanks

[bwsektor]

I really engoyed it... Great job. like the capo in teh 2nd fret. gives it a better pitch i think.(just my opion)

[because88]

I love the way I can tell you are British. Great job by the way.

[coolboylulu]

you are perfect at your acoustic guitar to play it!

[kenkenes]

yeah!!!! cool, respect !! ;)

[iamcrackhead]

Great job...

[billy1496]

i loved it

[crudosoy1]

[purplhaze214]

[ashdance]

Nice one, I always loved that tune. ash

[hbm666]

encore quelques progres au niveau de la vitesse d'execution et ce sera le top!

good job guy

[the0v0man]

thats was mad, one of the best versions ever, rock on

[chedderfiend]

hey simon, you're really good man. I'm just starting out but your an inspiration, i've listened to most of your stuff. its great.

[aboutaburriedwinter]

dude thats the best version of classical gas ive heard gd job

[tflfrontman]

holy crap this is fantastic love the tweaks

[simondavies86]

his is good but i prefer to not copy anyones version of that song and do my own.

[Khryspy]

this is pretty damn good but tommy emanuel is alot better try learning his version its insane

[BLEDLACRZ]

awsome work mate

[ElSnorto]

Fantastic!

[paul21turbo]

i prefare the (new version) but both r great

[ibanezpower]

really really good!

[TexGypsy]

Are you self taught, you are awesome!

[simondavies86]

yeah am self taught. thanks

[Strox]

I think i just rated another one of your plays but again i can only say that you play verry well. (I like your touch!)

[aluncleary]

Nice! this is possible the best version of classic gas on youtube

[halnataku]

great job! better than the clapton version at least.

[challq]

This is better then the original. ;-)

[politikandi]

well, you do not play the correct tabs of mason williams, but it sounds good! Keep playing!

[simondavies86]

im not trying to play mason williams version.this is my own version

[SSJ2Killua]

That was pretty damn spiffy. It'd sound even better on a classical guitar ;) A really nice performance though, makes it worth putting all the hours in, doesn't it, when you nail something like this.

[DamnShitTaco]

Great song and it's awesome to see someone playing it. Very well done. One of the better amateur guitarist vids on YouTube.

[Metal23q]

u should try emmanuels version

[bene8754]

You're very talented. How long have you been playing?

[aeron43]

great guitar playing but dude you look like your going to faint ^_^

[megakyle]

hahahha, you look so concentrated, good playing, you seem a bit stiff, some of the phrasing is off, but you still did well

[jasonwaite2]

Good chops. Good ornamentaion. A little sloppy at times and incomplete. Chuck the capo and get a new guitar - preferably a classical for this number. Very musical player with a lot of natural talent. Take some classical guitar lessons for a few years and you will be even better.

[7deadroses]

lmao i like ur thinking LMAO

[fridrikur]

His playing is outstanding. You have really mastered the right hand technique. You also manage to make the melody stand out. Great job.

Your facial expressions don't matter one bit to me. I too look serious when I play since I take my music seriously.

[simondavies86]

cheers mate

[christeinski]

luv it

[Metal23q]

dude awsome playing 

[7deadroses]

oh and sweet use on that capo man u can really shred

[7deadroses]

hahaha u look so serious .....chill man it's really good ....where's your happy face?!?!?

[jasonwaite2]

Don't be foolish. Who cares about his face.

[mourdommc]

Great Job. I just learning this song right now and I'm checking out how it's played. You played it very good.

[Duty1234]

That's awesome man, gotta a lovely ring to it

[metal4you87]

Also, work on tone of your playing. Utilize crescendo and decrescendo when necessary.

[jasonwaite2]

You are a silly person.

[metal4you87]

Show some emotion when you play.

[graytheface]

dude your playing is top class !

[reflectivist]

Good stuff. Like the originality.

Thanks for posting it.

[yoyo16om]

simply awesome



[takayfawk]

Awesome all I can say

[tannerman]

Honestly dude that shit is fucking rippinggg!!!! i like the gnarly piicking you added in at some parts. no joke yo, this shit is awesome

[finewad]

wow! so far i lyk the wae u play man!!! u ROCK!!!

[siidej]

Well played and good fingering/hand technique! However, if you gonna keep on playing like that I'd suggest you replace the guitar with one equipped with nylon strings. Or perhaps try finger plecs?

[simondavies86]

i do have a nylon string guitar, just the strings were broken on that day,thanks for the comment... check out my other vids...... http://youtube.com/profile?use­r=simondavies86

[normy55555]

[vicvenzi]

[theclairvoyant89]

Fuckin nice!!!!!!!

[allentate]

Back off his guitar face! Everyone has one...at least he's not drooling like I would be if I could actually pull off that whole song. Good job dude.

[Xcalibar34]

Holy crap, i have to watch that again, A little slow but if you speed it up a little might sound good, Haha just playing, that was sweet.

[KismetsKitten]

I hate saying the same thing over and over, but I don't know what else to say but, "Beautiful!"... I'll pick up a thesaurus.

[Fahrenhiet]

u look damn serious..i was so scared looking at ur face..haha..but nice mixture of your own style ^^

[simondavies86]

haha i will try to smile on my next vid

[paintballgod]

Not bad at all man.. but i agree with supertjs.. don't look so pissed of haha

[startstatic00]

you've added your own twist i see, its sweet as

[run5home]

not bad with the capo on the 2nd fret

[challq]

What tuning do you use?

[challq]

What tuning to you use?

[supertjs]
