I love that tuning.I never would have thought to try it ,it looks so odd. As Always thanks for help One of these days I hope you decide to drop the veil of anonymity.One of the reasons besides being immensely curious is I used to follow a fellow here on You tube called Fretkiller who was wonderful.They pulled his videos and that's it hes nothing but a distant memory. I am sure you have your reasons,my bet is your donations would go way up with a face and a name not to mention when you gig..
Except for the accent you could BE stephen stills. the only diff between your version and his original is that he bends the beejeebus out of some of those notes, getting 32nd notes sometimes. yours is a Great vid, now I can add this to my repertoire! I do some lessons to if youre looking to expand, although mine are not as well produced as yours.
One of the best instructional videos that I have come across. Any chance that you can slow the finger-picking down some more, with maybe a description of the picking, finger and string sequence? It may be simple to those who have been doing it for years, but for us newbies, it is difficult. Looks like maybe it is a Travis pick, which I am attempting to learn. Thanks for the terrific video.
Bloody good that! But I must ask which Martin you are playing ? I was actually out listening to clips of Martins and found your vid and stopped 'cause I love this tune. I will be back to learn more from you. Cheers.
this was fabulous! Please check out my vocals on this tune. we should collab sometime. I wish I could play like you man. I might actually be able to make a living at this LOL! You give me the confidence to actually try playing this the right way. you are a great teacher.
You are the best guitar instructer ever! A amj sick of listening to bideos that the guitar is not in tune trying to teach me how to play.... You have a good ear!
Cheers from the states! Im a huge CSN fan and absolutely love your lessons. Your by far my favorite guitar teacher. Any chance of showing us "Find the Cost of Freedom? That song gives me chills no matter how many times I listen to it. Keep rockin' brother!
cool you brits love that blues i thimk more than americans you dont hear any blues stations on the radio nowadays i want to bring it back into pop. music it what we need a blues based hip hop or something
You don't hear Blues on the radio in the UK much. UK radio is dog poo.
The English have always got the blues and contributed so much to it. Strange I think.
IMO the best bluesmen are Black Americans obviously and White Englishmen. Dunno why, but never heard anyone else be convincing.
The blues are a universal emotion and form. Nature plays the blues, so I don't want to be too ethnocentric about it. But I think it fair to go as far as to make that statement.
It's an american form of music, for sure. The but the Retard is right. People all over the world sing the blues and pick on their geetars. All the old greats are indeed american. But from there.... it spread outward slowly till the '61 release of Johnsons Trilogy. That's when people like Clapton, Richards, Paige, and so on said "That bloke's on to something!" presto!! Another age of Blues Greatness! It is like love and hate... it's in us all. We've still go great players here in the u.s. as well
I went to see Stephen Stills on Friday 10th in Brighton and you are right he was fantastic. Your version of 4+20 is on the ball, i learned this about a week before i went to the gig (same as your version almost to the note). Do you fancy having a go at Tree Top Flyer? Cant practise it yet as i have had an operation on my left hand the day before the gig, but if you could do it as a lesson i'll get onto it as soon as my hand works. Neil
That Takamine you play has a nice tone to it. Great lesson. Cheers!

Its obvious you have a lot of passion for the music. That's what's missing from so much music today.
