nice instrument

[pickerman4]

Thank you so much! I really like this 12 string. It's a Takamine EG523SC12. I really like your music on your channel. Great stuff, especially "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. My wife is part greek so the greek culture facinates me!

hey sounds great on a 12-string!

where did you find the chords?

on ultimate-guitar i found some. but you play an e-minor sometimes. and that is different, than on ulimate-guitar (but its right ;))

[DMartin1997]

hi,

what is the finger pattern you use? it sounds great on your 12 string.

[pickerman4]

Thanks for watching. Sorry for the delayed reply. Without be able to go into detail here. Playing the "G", "D/F#", and "Em" chords the pattern is strings 6, 2, 4, 1 picked in that order. Playing "C", "Am" and "Bm" chords the pattern is 5, 2, 4, 1. "D7" is 4, 2, 3, 1. These are just the basic patterns and it varies from that as you may notice. Now where it's sung, "Goodbye again", playing the D7 on again leading in the "G" you play, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, then "G". Hope this helps.

I just love john denver's music and you did a very nice job of it. Very nice voice I wish I had a twelve stringer like yours what brand is it I can't make out the name on the vid. Thanks

[pickerman4]

Thank you so much. You are so kind. My 12 string is a Takamine EG523SC12. You can find it at Guitar Center and almost an other guitar shop that sells Takamine guitars. I like it very much!

[LayLowish1]

@pickerman4 thank you I sure will check out that store there is one near my area

[pickerman4]

The closest Guitar Center in New Mexico is in Albuerque, which is quite far from you. There is a Takamine dealer in Las Cruces called "Hubbards Music-N-More". I bet they have one, or can get one for you. Hope this helps!

[pickerman4]

Thanks! Yes, they are great guitars.

[americanrides]

Nice tune and I love the 12 string! Man, I just looked at your profile, we share the same favorite musicians! I tried to post Fire and Rain yesterday but after 20 takes I gave up....lol Thanks for subrscribing to me also! You don't live in Illinois do you? Looking for a jam partner. I too am married with kids and don't play nearly enough! Take care, dave the guitar guy or americanrides

[pickerman4]

Thanks Dave. Yeah, I tried several 12 strings before I got this Takamine. None of them played as easy as this one. Don't give up on Fire and Rain, you'll get it. I actually live in S.W. Ohio. Darn, jammin' together would have been cool! I used to practice 5 hours a day when I started playing in high school, but that is looong gone with family and such.

Nice Job! and Beautiful Guitar. 5tars!

[pickerman4]

Thanks! I do love this guitar. I feel in love with it when I first laid eyes on it. Thanks again my friend.

[RobertDays]

Good job... nice memories...

[pickerman4]

Thanks! Not many songs written like this anymore.

[RobertDays]

I agree...

[alberzeta]

lovely song. Good choice and great performance.

[pickerman4]

Thank you s much! It's such a simple but beautiful song.

[MonkeylessJohn]

This is a wonderful performance on one of my favourite songs of John's

I have an old songbook that has those lyrics as In days so soft and warm. Go figure eh?

[pickerman4]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I learned this song probably from the same music book, but haven't looked at it for years.

[Wmhohenzollern]

Great video as usual. For many years I have sung the beginning of the second verse as "the days are soft and long" But I read the lyric sheet off of Rocky Mountain High and then listened to the recording and he really is sining "It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm."

[pickerman4]

Thank you so much! I listened to the recording on greatest hits, and you're right! I never picked that line up. Geees, I've been singing it wrong all these years! I'll get it together one of these days, lol! :-)

[Wmhohenzollern]

Yeah, I too sang it wrong for many years! I wonder why the sheet music was always wrong? Keep up the good work. I love your covers!

[pickerman4]

Thanks! Sometimes I like doing Good Bye Again as a medley with Jet Plane. Similar to how JD did them.

[scottdixongreen]

Actually John called those two songs plus "Follow Me" the "Jet Plane Trilogy".

[pickerman4]

Cool! I didn't know that. Thanks Scott.
