@dandesantismusic Thanks, friend. Checked out your channel, liked what I saw and heard, and subscribed.

[Powerhouse76]

Your voice and guitar was heard across the Pacific here in Tokyo. Beautiful. It was very inspiring. Thank you sir.

[TheFolksinger]

@Powerhouse76 Thanks for such an encouraging comment. Here's for hopes for peace on all sides of the Pacific. We hope in Cairo that will soon be the case.

@scaasi Thanks for the comment. I haven't kept up my wordpress site as much as I should, but I will get back to it. Thanks for the reminder.

[lieslh]

[TheFolksinger]

@lieslh Thanks for the encouragement.

[staccato35]

Thank you TheFolksinger. THANK YOU!

[TheFolksinger]

@staccato35 You are most welcome.

[planetqwerty]

Excellent and inventive way of demonstrating both the chord shape and the finger-picking - by having both hands up at the top of the neck (for the first part of the video).

Haven't copyrighted the idea have you? !

[TheFolksinger]

@planetqwerty nope. I'm getting too old to reap many benefits from copyrights anyway. But thanks for the encouragement.

[KittenCollision]

You should check out my version, it's definitely a different chord progression and it's a little different lyrics (namely, I say lone wayfaring stranger) but yeah, please check it out!

[CAL2177]

Excellent! Thank you for posting.

[TheFolksinger]

@CAL2177 You are most welcome. Thanks for the comment.

[MrLworley]

i like that.

[TheFolksinger]

@MrLworley Thanks, friend.

[jmm201]

This is great! Very easy for me (a guitar novice) to follow....but I have to practice the finger hammering.

[TheFolksinger]

@jmm201 Maybe more than 90 percent of everything is practicing it over and over. At least that is so for me. Keep on keeping on. Cheers.

[devonvanna]

[TheFolksinger]

[Jellyform]

Lovely performance :)

[healthkitten]

the singing is so beautiful. I'd like to learn it to teach to my elementary class.

[TheFolksinger]

I hope you get the time and energy to do so. Presently I am organizing singing-instruction videos for my own class at AUC. Perhaps some of those videos may prove helpful even to elementary school singers.

[chazibaby]

absolutely wonderful thank you so much for the lesson

[TheFolksinger]

Thanks for the encouragement. It keeps me going.

[cowgirlmoon]

[sgmanr61]

Very nice, simple yet elligant, thanks for posting..

[TheFolksinger]

You are most welcome.

[Deeno888]

You seem to use base G B E in the intro but in the song it looks like your playing Base E B G or even Base E&B G. May I ask which ?

Thanks, you do great videos by the way :)

[TheFolksinger]

They are variations on the Am chord, which is A (1st),C (3rd), and E (5). I tend to exchange, for the thumb bass part, the 6th and 5th string. One provides a 1st as the bass note, while the other provides a 5th. Same chord, though. At least most of the time.
