This Old Guitar - john denver

[aoife92]

My sister just bought a new guitar so I said she should sell her old one and my mam on a whim said oh put old guitar on. I had never heard it, and now I think it's in my new favourites list!

[mytokar]

@Radio2Folk - thanks for your appreciation.

[hitcher177]

@mytokar - Thank you for letting me remember this old song and for your great video

[rothwellss]

He sang this song at the London Palladium some years ago I heard it on a vinyl LP and to me it sound the best He talked about writing the song and what it meant to him Great loss

[newstart49]

This is one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar(1974). I began playing from a gift Gibson guitar at age 12 (1966). John Denver wrote this song about a 1910 Gibson "F-hole" acoustic jazz guitar his grandmother gave him when he was 12 years old. Now, 37 years later, I still play it and love it the same as always. Sadly, John Denver died on my daughters 8th birthday, Oct,12th, 1997. Ironic.

[mikejeshurun]

This is the best rendering of this song. Even Denver himself couldn't improve on it in his later performances of this song. I have heard many versions and renditions of this song, but nothing can top this one!

[agw505]

I was so glad I got to attend one of his concerts, it will forever be in my heart as his music is. My two children grew up listening to the songs and now my two grandchildren do too! I hope he is at peace at last!

[mytokar]

@agw505 - what a great experience! thanks for sharing. take care.

[GaryDenverShaw]

The guitar song of guitar songs. No one could ever top this one! Well done John!

[originalpauper]

I really would like to die listening to this song. Thanks

[mytokar]

@originalpauper - thanks for your support and appreciation. J.Denver's songs are always in our hearts.

[jeffpoet]

As a guitar player I can really relate to this song.

[HemulenPie]

Always a most special place in my heart John. Love you man :) Met John twice and i'm so happy now. My gorgeous girlfriend loves his music too X Peace all, thanks X

[CutlerBeckett90]

R.I.P. dear John... thank you for everything you gave to us :)

[LeighaRose1]

this song has so much emotion to it.

I love it! :)

[mytokar]

@LeighaRose1 - thanks for your appreciation.

[wrestlingboy2010]

When I play and sing this song,

I imagining this very beautiful girl right in front of me.

She asks me to sing this song while we're having a picnic at the park.

It's very romantic.

[SgtBooker44]

John used this song to close many of his concerts. I miss him. How would he have reacted to the oil mess?

[TheGreatGonzoMan]

As a musician, this song resonates so much more with me than the rest of his very powerful and deep discography.

[italllies]

be love.

[balisemusique]

Magic song with big souvenirs.

John Denver is the King of Country.

[Singerboy]

It is clear to me that John put more heart and soul into his music then anyone I have hered since.

[mytokar]

@Singerboy - john's kind of music and his compositions are exceptional. one of the best singers/composers of his generation.

[clarionflyer]

@Singerboy Nicely said.

[sholism]

i want instrumental of this song, where can i find?

[mytokar]

@sholism - try to search in the internet.

[ddddddennis]

@sholism

it should be pretty easy to hear its not that complicated of a song ^^ únless ofcourse you want it to be EXACTLY what he is playing. but pretty much just [D]D/C#]Hm]G]A] for the chords, there is some various in the chord-length, but not that much. Hope it helps :)

[bobmuse40]

first song I ever learned in my life was Country Roads. I still do it at my solo gigs...always gets folks noticing..............

[mytokar]

@bobmuse40  - that's GREAT!

[shawnloo1]

@bobmuse40 me too. great song

[paperkite03]

Miss you, John.

[TOES2K9]

i think he is the best singer ever when i listen to him wen im angry he calms me down and every john denver song i look at on youtube i dont ever see peoplesaying he is rubbish

[8913194]

his music never ceases to make me happy and the gift he gave me to appreciate the beauty around me i am trying to pass down to my children he was truly one of a kind no one can ever take his place

[ryovr]

sweet and simple. thanks mytokar

[mcog2006]

This makes me sad because John Denver's gone and I can't play guitar no matter how hard I try.

[redshibaman]

Such a simple song...

Simple and beautiful...

And beautiful sung...

[AesopRock45]

damn.....cant explain what im feeling when im listeing to this, its like all my problems just floats away, John Denver, best musician after aesop rock! RIP

[Emma2903]

ty for uploading the song. =)

i'm so sorry for john... R.I.P. :/

[MasteroftheMood]

I love this song, I even recorded my own arrangement of it and put it on youtube. John Denver was without a doubt one of the greatest acoustic musicians to ever walk the planet. His music will live on forever.

[druchii01]

I've only recently realized just how powerful and genuine a recording artist John was. I've known about him of course for a long time, but never actually gotten into his music. More and more, I'm glad that I did. :D

I love John Denver music since school days. It brings lots of memories of loneliness, happiness, sadness and I'm always find comfort in this sort. It's very very special song.

[ceejaelovescats]

He had such a pure and special voice. He was very popular when I was in my late teen and early 20's--I grew up with him, and he never let me down. I love/loved John Denver... thank you so much for posting "This Old Guitar". It is a wonderful version, and one of my all time favorites. Bless you.

Wow. I'm in tears right now with all the fond memories. Camping with so many good friends at Live Oak. Most of them are gone now. Take this knowledge with you. You touched my heart tonight in the kindest of ways with this.

To quote the man himself - and us when we were younger - we grew up with his music - "Far out."

Thank you so much.

[imtherealK0NG0]

John's so underrated...

[imtherealK0NG0]

But so great...He owns Elton John in my opinion. =P

[daletucknottuk]

One of many fantastic songs by a fantastic man. Im not a religious person but the almighty always seems to take the wrong people from us at the wrong time. Still missing you John x

The purest song out of anyones heart..

Sad that he was taken from us by an accident..

R.I.P John Denver
