  • I tabbed this out if anyone wants it, hvaen't learned how to play it yet though

  • I didn't want the track to end. Fantastic song and playing Erick

  • that is a belter of a tune! beautiful stuff.... real summer tune : )

  • I listen to Erick Turnbull when I am doing my homework, his music always finds a way to relax me.

  • Fucking Beautiful

  • Some People just know how to play music that makes you think of your favorite memory.... Erick happens to be one.

  • Some People just know how to play music that makes you think of your favorite memory.... Erick happens to be one.

  • Very nice tune

  • Great guitar player. I am very much honored to have the same surname as he does!

  • is that a Taylor big baby?

  • @ragnarocking nope...its a 110...very similar to the BB just a little better

  • MR. ERIC i dig all your Grooves What tune is the guitar in before you put the capo on the 2 fret ? please . a long time fan

    VIVA CHILE !!!!

  • @fenderstrattone FACGCD

  • Eric i think your just one amazing guitar player . What tuning is that before you put the capo on . i dig grooves . VIVA CHILE

  • oh my god thats beautiful

  • This is probably the most uplifting, depressing, nostalgic, breathtaking song I've ever heard.

  • i love songs that just flow so easy and nice as this, awesome :D

  • Check out the "video response". I made a little video out of the album version (which has an even better sound to it).

  • this song makes me sad for some reason.. but it is very beautiful still :)

  • this song says summer all over.

  • FINALLY an erick turnbull song i can play haha this song is so peaceful

  • This song is amazing.  Really brings a sense of nostalgia... I miss summer.

    Fantastic composition.

  • wow

  • why did they take the jingle bells one down? it was one of my favorites and I really wanted to know the tuning for it

  • My bad I have to just keep shit real and buy this guys album. This is good stuff. Shit like this makes me mad I spent so many years watching hip hop crash and burn when there is complex good music out there. I owe it to this guy who I have no idea who he is or whataver, I just have to buy dudes album.

  • Those were two really great comments man ..respect .

  • hehe...i don't know what your first comment was..but as far as this comment goes...i felt the same exact way when i discovered Andy Mckee and all of the candyrat guys a couple of years ago...i'm still hip hop thru and thru but this shit has been a big influence on me the last few years...i picked up the guitar because of Mckee....so thanks candyrat!!! and kudos to ur comment go buy that album!

  • Just in my opinion and I am speaking from someone who doesnt know that much about the guitar and has listen strictly to (real) hip hop for the first 25 years of my life. This guy is if he collaborated with a real real MC could stack grammies if he was into that. I have to have this guys album.

  • I could listen for hours and hours.  Beautiful. Hmmmmm

  • what tuning is this? low c ???

  • just added to my favs...erick big respect to ya fuckin love ur guitar playin ur songs everything man love it! this song is so beautiful

  • NOONE! can say this is not good, youde be mad otehrwise, the alternating bass notes lie in the background proving the accuracy needed. this piece brings SO many emotions out, its ludacris to think otherwise.

  • Comment removed

  • Proves once again - as if proof was needed - that there is no occasion in Canada for which a toque is inappropriate.

    This song makes me feel great. It's also great to know how many fantastic fingerstyle guitarists there are these days...and some of the best are right here at home! 5 *

  • brilliant!!

  • To compare this guy with Frusciante shows how limited and narrow minded you are. They play from two completely different spectrum of the guitar, drawing completely different inspirations to create their music. This is what makes a guitar artist unique. What a sad world you must live in if you can only enjoy one type of sound and have to be negative because this type doesn't particularly resonate with you. Next time, don't post at all. kthxbye.

  • BEST USERNAME I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!

  • I'm glad this is considered good playing, if Frusciante was considered good playing I'd give up playing guitar.

  • fantastic..

  • ur like related to me maybe my name is dakota turnbull

  • Very Very Very Good , I love This Songg !!!

    Great Job Man!!!!

  • Absolutely beautiful. Something poetic about how the individual notes become the song take on the shape of meaning. Simply wonderful.

  • The title fits the song perfectly.

    Amazing tune.

  • Beautiful Tune!

  • Right now this feels like it is the soundtrack of my life.

  • ahahahaha, so right...

  • This is just so amazing.

  • Taylor!!!

  • this song has a simple structure, but its so difficult to learn for meh >_>

    i have to retrain my thumbs to control the 4-6 strings and my index, middle, and ring to the 1-3

    grrr

  • only 3 fingers ...

    Is God!!!

    :D

  • this song evokes a lot of memories

  • I love this song, but I really miss summer vacations.

  • To everybody:

    Dont worry

    Be happy

    ENJOY THE MUSIC

  • to iamrobertpaulson: inmature dumbass, these people were just telling every1 how much they like this song. If u dont like the way they say it, please just dont comment and close your mouth.

  • The more I play it the more.....

  • calm down, obviously the more he plays it the more he loves it, thats completly insinuated here

  • And I hate asshats like Iamrobertpaulson. Stop trolling.

  • whats trolling??

    this is a great song btw!

    i cant stop listening to Low C.

    so i gave this song a listen...i loves it

  • love this song. though i know it is called june tune I love to listen to this on my walk home from school on cloudy winter days. Amazing keep it up

  • hi i posted below, forgot to say my tab wont be up for couple of days while gets approved etc.. check back soon!

  • sweet man cant wait to get hold of it!

  • great job on those tabs! took awhile to figure out the tuning though

  • Cheers, yeh is true, I dont even have a tuner!

    used the one on HowToTuneAGuitar(dot)org

    Recommend it if anyones havin trouble

  • very nice find! I have been looking for a site like that forever now and haven't had any luck! thanks man

  • Haven't gotten a chance to try your tab yet, but hats off to ya just for even attempting it. A lot of people have been waiting for that, thanks.

  • Great song! I've just tabbed this and posted it on ultimate-guitar(dot)com so get down there if you want to learn! dont forget to rate it! :)

  • What kind of Taylor is this?

  • Love the sound of your Taylor!!

  • Couldn't find the tabs on candyrat, anyone know if they're available to buy anywhere else?

  • Comment removed

  • Tuning I belive is FACGCD with the seen capo on 2. Very close to Don Ross's tuning on Midnight March, but a half step up on the bass. I think Joni used this tuning a bit too.

  • That my friends is the unmistakable sound of a Taylor Guitar!

    Simply beautiful.

  • Pourquoi c'est aussi beau ?? 5*

  • Beautiful melody - This song is why electric guitars will never overshadow wood and strings...

  • man, i wish my electric guitar had WOOD and STRINGS

  • haha

  • safe (Y)

  • sick

  • Honestly, I agree with gwizarrd. It was interesting the first time I heard the percussive style of playing guitar, but after everyone and their grandmother began playing that way just to impress it got really old really quickly. This song is a nice refreshment from that.

  • gwizarrd, your out of your mind. everyone has there own technique. thats why they get signed. eric turnbull is just one of the greats and i do have to admit hes pretty high on my standards. theres alot of competition. dont single people out like that.

  • Erick is a great guitarist, but gwizarrd where do you get off saying that the reason why other guitarists only get signed because of playing fast stuff with percussive elements. That is an insult not only to several quality guitarists who are every bit as talented as Erick is, but it's also an insult to record companies who according to you don't know good music.

  • This one is so wonderful......

  • is there tabs for this?

    if not.. someone should figure it out ;]

  • On the site, I believe they have tabs for every artist.

  • This is my favorite song. I listen to it on my way to work :)

    Im surprised hes not doing it naked ;)

  • Seriously Erick, you're defintely one of my favourite guitarists alive. Keep it up and I look forward to more.

  • The title speaks for itself :)

  • you and nicholas barron are my favorites that are with candyrat records. your songs actually sound like songs, not just a bunch of fast stuff, harmonics, and beating on your guitar, which has gotten many guys record deals.

  • good music for wen ur stoned!!!!

  • word!

  • yes it was..

  • great song to listen on June haha

  • i love it!!!!

  • Great song!!! Its so amazing how an instrument can say so many things without any words over the top of it. This is truly a beautiful song.

  • we have a saying in hawaii '3 much'..a lil more than too much .nice melody you n the rest of candy rat are fantastic. try something with the ukulele!!.

  • honestly, one of the best songs in the world. i practically shit my pants, from the overwhelming ecstasy i felt from listening to this masterpiece. It was an eargasm like none i have ever felt in my life.

  • Toooooooooo Much Information!!!

  • he just plays what he feels, i do the same. im alittle different at what i play but erick turnbull is really talented. god gave him a gift that will help him untill the end of time.

  • Excellent stuff. If I could play a hundredth as good as this guy I'd be a happy man.

  • nice nice nice you music reaches holland too man!!

  • This lullaby would have me snoring right now but I can't sleep with my tongue on the floor!!!

  • best comment so far!!!!

  • this song is so beautiful....

  • i like this guy, he doesnt use any fancy crap on his fingures and still makes a great sound

  • Unless you play the guitar well it's difficult to appreciate the complexity behind this song. On his right hand, his thumb is picking the bass line, while the other fingers are doing the melody. If you're not used to it, it'll make you want to throw your guitar out the window.

  • before u throw your guitar out the window watch some Tommy Emmanuel vids. That will make you destroy your guitar to make sure it wont make any awful sound compared to the masters.

  • I personally like this guy alot more then Tommy. Guess I just don't feel the "magic" from his compositions, I suppose.

  • Yes. I like Erick too. they are different like orange and apple. (I don't want to hurt anybody with my opinion, because I feel silly when I see people arguing about who is the best musitian, or who is better. People are different. They can not be compared. You can choose your favorite. Love one, hate another. Your own personal right, but you can't compare them. If you got what I tried to explain.)

  • AMAZING, i think i'm in love, lol.

  • Ah, I love love LOVE this song! Thing is though, I actually enjoy listening to it more on the album, because it has a far different sound. The albums tone is so... soft and soothing, and AMAZING vibrato. If you haven't gotten his album yet, go buy it. Right now. Run.

  • Beautiful!! Erick, you sound a little like Kelly Joe Phelps here, so I guess more idiots will accuse you of plagurizing him,too. More ,please!

  • KnightXtrix, what is the tunning erick uses in this video? id like to learn it from watching him.

  • FACGCE tuned one half step down (can't remember the exact notes). and yeah i just finished learning the whole song from video and its not toooo hard. Except the part at 00:31 was kinda tough, im not even sure i have it exactly right.

  • Is there perhaps a video on the way KnightXtrix? Would love to see a cover of this one. =)

  • hmm maybe...unfortunatly i only have a digital camera so the sound wouldnt be that great but I think I will post a vid sometime in the next few weeks

  • very nice

  • is the guitar even missing a string or not? that'd be too much

  • oh and btw the tuning is FACGCD but with a capo on 1st fret (or you could do it the way he does and tune up another half step) just in case you wanted to give it a go yourself

  • ***tune down one half step

  • Im working a tab out for the song guys :D will probly take me a very long time but ill post it when done

  • I was about to say don't release the tabs... but he doesn't have any official ones.

    So all I have to say is buy the official tabs if they're ever released... XD

  • Xangetsu123....that's cool....so now we can see that a song expresses a lot of feelings.

  • Seldomly heard a more moving song. Your lyrics are a proof for your profession. Thnks for making my evening!!

  • Great tune man. When are we going to get to see ya play here in NYC?

  • The "Chorus" like at 00:20 is so good!! It's just 10 seconds....but wow!! It makes me think of the last scene of a movie: a guy had a terrible year at work, but he finally gets a better job. And I can see him walking down the street, totally happy with this "chorus" on the background!

    You're amazing!

  • I find it strange that this song gives you a 'happy' feeling. It seems to me it's quite sad.

  • Xangetsu, you're right. Even if it's Thursday and I'm in an already emotional mood (consequence of Wednesday probably :p) I also feel that this tune is a bit sad as well.

  • Of course it seems sad.....but it's a chorus like in the song: We are free now (gladiator).

    Watch this one: Enya-we are free now (1.05 min). That's also sad....but in the movie it's a relaesing song....that's exactly what the chorus of Erick makes me think of.

  • the drummer is probably just some little kid people lol. I myself am a drummer,who plays guitar, mandolin, bass, fiddle, accordian, tin whistle, and piano. This guy has huge talent, even his rendition of jingle bells shows that. little drummer boy,become a well rounded musician instead of just a drummer, drummers are a dime a dozen.

  • Alright...back to the music posted here please. Keep the conversation about Erick, or music, in the positive sense. Not some drummer. Erick is probably the most versatile musician, who can play metal (mind blowing electric guitar), punk, classical, etc. Thanks for coming out drummer boy!

  • there ya go! it's better to let people know that you don't have any knowledge on the subject BEFORE you post, that way people can ignore you ahead of time. but i applaud you, better late than never!

  • lol this guy owns ur band alone. Man go make noise with ur metal band and go watch malmsteen videos. this kind of music is for real musicians.

  • Your Friend could be better than his technically but he could never come up with a song as beautiful as this...

  • actually you have got it half write if not backwards all together. he writes what sounds great, if it needs to be more technical he will add that. he contributes to the song (played by a band, not solo musician) and btw disregard the 'metal' comments im just dickin the dog.

  • Excellent song anyone who has harsh words forthis song has no musical taste and better yet needs something else to do with their time

  • GIVE US PISCES!!!

  • It's so wonderful!

  • Excellent!

  • superb! what a great piece of art!

  • PLEASE TAB THIS SONG!!!

  • holllyyy shit. Syncapation is so good in this

  • Very very nice!!! It's a great melody and so a great song! Can you please let me know if there are any tabs available...?? I really want to learn it!!!

  • if your name is jamesdouglastx, then you like discouraging people and ignoring the validity of tablature for reading music

  • HAH take THAT james douglas!!!

  • i learned to play andy's song drifting from tabs.

    if u have a decent ear and a copy of the recording tabs can be just as good as sheet music.

    plus i think tabs are a little more of a reasonable request then one for sheet music.

  • no necessarily true. some songs are just harder to hear what they're doing exactly and the tabs can be a guideline to help you out. i figure out some songs by ear but use tabs for help sometimes too. it doesnt mean its outa my league. i love how people swear on learning songs by ear but probably cant even do it themselves too...

  • I sincerely doubt you hear in perfect pitch, or that you've had ear training, so why bother saying that? Also, I enjoy buying Andy Mckee's (As well as other candyrat musician's) tabs because it's my way to support the artist. Sure, they're expensive as well, but as long as he's not a rich man I'll continue to support him. I want these guys to continue making beautiful music, so I'll do whatever I can do help them

  • Congrats on being an ignorant elitist! What bearing does reading tabs have on somebody's ability to actually play the guitar? None. You could fully sight read and still be shit at guitar, or you could fully read tabs and be good at guitar. And vice versa. Shut up and go back to your ignorant cave of perpetual masturbation. TY. Quit life while you're at it too.

  • Last comment; in regards to jamesdouglastx, it sucks when you fail at life at the tender age of only 21...

  • my problem with his comment wasn't that he was an elitist.. i mean there's a lot of elitists out there, and you'll come across their opinions pretty often. my problem was that it was also just generally misinformed/uneducated, out of the 10 million or however many guitarists there are on this planet, you would be lucky to find 1 that can read music in alternate tunings. Pierre Susan can read in dadgad, but he's one of the greatest fingerstylers to ever live, and even he can't read inothertunings

  • very cool melody. thumps up.

  • sounds like jorma

  • As I know probably all of us here are guitar players this song has got to make you envious for its simple beauty. Its refreshing to know that all that skill and technique can produce such a soulful chill song. I'm definitely going to try to learn this one.

  • let me know how you get on. im guna try learn it too

  • Wow way harder than it looks just trying to figure it out by ear. Thanks to whoever posted the tuning. I end up just making up my own stuff half the time! Great tuning, GBDADE.

  • I got this CD like 2 years ago

  • hows the cd on a whole?

  • Really great music...

  • from the first second I heard the partial sample at CanyRat, This is one of my all-time favortites. Can't wat for the tabs

  • So going to buy his cd!!!!

  • the part from :58 onto 1:15 is constantly stuck in my head
