great job. my bro manganeseman plays this one too and its a great tune.

[Tenntoad]

BEANDRR.......Yes, I know. He & I have traded quite a few emails about this tune & others over the last 1.5 years. ;-)

this version is ok, but your handling with the slide is in my opinion very smooth, look for the great version of bertbouw, he play perfectly and more rough which is important for the tune, so you can get better with the tune

[Tenntoad]

gustafgruegens;

To each his own. To quote a often repeated line; "He's Leo....and you're not". That applies here.

I would be interested in seeing/hearing your version.

Rgds,

tenntoad cannot understand why you are offended, only want to help you to make better your guitarplaying by learning the tune in the version of bertbouw, i know that you are surely not leo, but you can play this song better if you look like bert plays this tune, so try it and you will get it, wish you good luck

[Tenntoad]

gustafgruengens;

I'm not offended (I think it's a language issue). Just making the point that, 1.) I'm NOT Leo. 2.) While I love his very unique style, I don't want to be an exact clone of his playing (that would be boring). It simply "is what it is".

Usually when someone comments on how they think a tune should be played....they play it themselves. Thus my comment on hearing your version, as you noted that you liked Ry Cooter's version about 7 months ago. No offense intended.

Hey, you sound pretty good to me.

[IanSteiner]

Very cool. I never heard this version. I learned the Kottke version (or attempted to learn).. Great work!!

[gustafgruengens]

nice - like the cooder version more than kottke

[TAIAY]

Your guitar playing is very fluid. It's a real joy to hear you play. 5 star rating to you.

[Tenntoad]

Thanks guys.....much appreciated.

I enjoyed this very much. Actually the twelve strings makes it so much more interesting.

[seawolf369]

yeah!

[Tenntoad]

Many thanks to all of you for the kind comments....glad to hear you enjoyed the music.

Best Rgds,

Joe Carpenter

[SUNNYD3322]

Very nice.

[ManganeseMan]

Nice cut! very smooth!

[SlightReturn]

As always, great slide control -- and great looking too. Your overall technique flows like water, and I don't have any reservations saying it's just as good to watch as it is to hear.

Thanks for sharing; it's always a pleasure. Also, have you heard "Prison Grove" by Warren Zevon? I think there were a lot of collaborators on that, and Cooder played slide on it (as far as I know); it really is a killer track. Might be up on youtube, too.

Take care,

Matt

[Tenntoad]

Thanbks for the comments Matt. And no, I hadn't heard Zevon's "Prison Grove" before, but I did find it on youtube. Thanks for the lead....

BTW, how's "Watermelon" coming along?

Rgds,

Joe
