The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Instrumental

[electricslipper]

Note a buzz in the bunch. Smashing. Agree that it is the wrong guitar for the song. I would love to hear the song on nylon strings and straight tuning. You are brimming with talent. If you have a friend with a cello or a bowed bass that would be perfect.

Thanks.

You might discover that an OM or 000 guitar is more well suited to your touch. You are a good player, and it isn't just the camera undermining you here - it is the inability of the dreadnought to impart subtlety to your efforts.

Lovely playing... only criticism... lacks a little soul.

All the best

[lussier637]

I love to hear you play. Is there any chance you could learn Waltzin Matilda and post it here?

Thanks!!

Hi, Lussier.

I just wish I had the time to play my guitar occasionally! Any tune would do! Hopefully, I'll post "Kenny the Kangaroo" sometime in the future. :-)

Best wishes.

Hi, Bjorn.

I have just 3 guitars!

1) The one I'm making a terrible noise with on this video is a 30 year old Suzuki (about €350 today).

2) A 10 year old Yamaha LA8 (parlour size guitar - about €600 today).

3) A custom Fylde Magician (on most of my videos) (about €5000 today)...will have to last me a lifetime! :-)

Regards.

Alan.

=0 this is a very hard song i guess i hardly can play an easy version of tears in heaven xD how long do u actualty play guitar? ^^

[salixarbour]

Hi, Bjorn.

You can be at this level in about 2 or 3 years (with a lot of work). However, I have been playing for most of my life ... and that's a long time! :-(

Best wishes.

A very nice version.I'm trying to learn it from a powertab,but keep straying into Blackwater Side!A young chap on the tube,alasdair,has posted a very fair attempt also-not yet quite up to troubleclef standard-but who is?

[salixarbour]

Thanks, Noazarkle.

I've not listened to my performance of this piece for a long time now...argh...it's aweful! I recorded it using my little cheap digital camera, and then murdered the piece by playing with little finesse! I'll have to get round to re-doing this one some time. Good to see young Alasdair's version thanks.

Best wishes.

Alan.

[squeakymonkfish]

Very nice. Well done.

[salixarbour]

Thanks, squeaky. I need to re-do this piece of music though as it's a bit too rough! :-)

Cheers.

Alan.

[troubleclef]

Nice job.

[salixarbour]

Thanks, troubleclef. I do prefer your own version though, also your blackwaterside...much more 'fluid'!

I'll have to re-record these some time.

Kind regards.

Alan.

[KingKill666]

wow, really awesome work ;)

[davetidman]

I prefer Groovy Kind of Love. You touched so many hearts with that song. Keep up the good work Phil
