  • STUPID! BORING ! GIVE IT UP! NO TALENT !!!! NOT A BIT ! SOULLESS, CHEAP, USELESS SHOWMANSHIP, THIS MUST BE THE WORST GUITARIST I HAVE EVER HEARD

  • Learn how to fingerpick if you want to play ragtime guitar. This sounds awful. I mean, really, this is excruciatingly bad. Just terrible.

    Just, just bad...

    ...in every sense of the word.

    Really.

  • Oh. Geez. Gimme a b reak!

  • I really enjoy that style of playing

  • ohh!! I like this. Five stars for you. Thanks for shared it with us!!!

  • Jo mate I really enjoy watching this video since Rory Gallagher is my all time favorite. Hope you can bring this one to paper or something so I can catch a couple of tunes from it witch I couldnt find myself.

    anyway,

    rock on!

  • I dig it.

  • Nice rendition of a blind boy fuller's pistol slapper blues. I bet you listen to rory gallagher too much too:)

    Well done...

  • i think its awsome mate... and i love the guitar. =]

  • Much too kind for a mediocre performance! Thanks.

  • That guitar sucks. Get yourself a real nylon string axe

  • I guess its just whatever your personal taste is. This is an ovation elite series, i havent read anything but good reviews on it elsewhere and it suits me perfectly. I have a 'nylon axe' also, but obviously this is not the song to be playing on a spanish guitar.

  • Yeah, you need to learn fingerpicking if you're going to attempt that style. No offense or anything, but that's some pretty sloppy chord changes. Oh, and tune that rag!

  • Yeah, ya gotta go with fingerpicking on this as you dropped any Rag back bass rhythm which is essential to the style... but, you get a lot of points for doing so much with a pick! I like it.

  • Another Rory Gallagher in the making............... brought a tear to my eye, KEEP GOING, YOU ARE A STAR!!!!

  • very impressed my friend! its a sight better than my technique! Keep 'em comming

  • super ! :)

  • good left hand. You need to learn to pick, I agree.

  • Nice one Steve - I enjoyed it. Good choice too. Keep it up young sir. Check out my ragtime composition if you get chance. You'll see that I don't let a few fluffed notes worry me. It keeps it human! Cheers. Do more.

  • The groove is not steady. Playing in meter is a good habit to develop. Practice just a little with a metronome, but don't worry about playing strictly in time with it. GOOD start! Your on your way! This stuff ain't easy.

  • i think this is awesome

  • My friend wrote that comment in while signed in under my name - it wasnt me being arrogant! lol

  • Need some basic fingerpicking technic. Sounds too rocky. The left hand is good, but the right hand needs a lot of work. Your rythm is good though.

  • I agree. It sounds pretty good. But it will sound more 'ragged' if there are some more fingerpicking

  • well played, not as good as rory but hey, nobody is.

  • respect

  • well played

  • spot on or not i loved it. good job!

  • right on man, deffinaly got the blues goin. gotta question for you tho, do you know of any tabs from brownie mcghee "Born and living with the blues" im just now starting into the blues trying to find some good stuff to play along with my oldman who plays the hermonica.

  • Heck, that's fricking good!!!

  • Good for a beginner, but, you should get the finger picking down and work on your timing. Good start, and can't wait to see the progress. Glad to see a fan of Rory's!

  • Well done! Instantly recognizable as Rory's version, although it's not all exactly the same, a lot of it's spot on.

  • Great playing, fairly reminiscent of the old timers 8)

  • Good guitar playing

  • The solo's inbetween are really good, but the rest is too long, and a bit boring, if you could play it shorter then it would be awesome

  • Yea, thats because there supposed to be singing in those bits, but i suck too much to do that. :(

  • Oh Ok, sorry, I didn't know, my bad, but you know, you should try to sing it. You should try

  • Thanks for the constructive criticism its very helpfull. I may try sometime in the future when i can play this song a little better. Thanks.

  • Pretty awesome, I love this style...Keep it up. Post the polished version at some point.

    Mike.
