When I first heard him in the 1970s via The Complete Guitarist, my friend and I just looked at each other. Our facial expressions said, And we thought we were guitar players.

[hakadushblue]

can please someone give me the list of song he is playing ????

[PomBare]

@hakadushblue look through the comments, I've posted the song names in order

[TrueRomantik]

Someone upload The Mahjun and the other oriental pieces please!

[mikegalsworthy]

woah. 4:39 - there it is perfectly - the distinctive "led zep" riff to "nobody's fault but mine". Never knew this one came from Davy too.

[wondubread]

whats the song that starts at 1:49?

[ianevans67]

Further to that, The trees album is called " on the shore" from about 1970. Search for sally free and easy on this web site and play the trees version( the one with the girl throwing water) on the album cover. Pure class! ...enjoy

[ArianRohani]

Whats the song at 03:07 ?

[ianevans67]

Its called "sally free and easy". I have a version by a band called The Trees from the 70s. I would imagine its a traditional english folk song. Hope that helps

[ArianRohani]

Thank you :) But I found it after hours of looking! I can see that many people has been inspired from Davy Graham. I think specially Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page has been inspired by him!

[DANNYK678]

sally free and easy

[israelcote]

I gotta say the audio quality is absolutely incredible in this video!! Please send me a message to tell what is your method!

[PomBare]

Really, I have no method. They are just simply MP3s that I have cut up and put together on windows movie maker, which doesn't upgrade the sound at all. I know music used to suffer on Youtube, it would become a mono sound, I think it allows stereo now.

[pettycur]

I don't think he was an underrated talent, it"s just that it was a long time ago...

[PomBare]

I agree, I think underrateds the wrong word, maybe just under exposed because he influenced so many greats, but remained fairly obscure himself.

[GIbsonGuitarsGuy]

whats the very first song

[PomBare]

Preacher blues ;)

[doubledodeccagon]

this man was amazing. thanks for upping this to introduce us/me to someone with amazing talent that I/we might not have heard of otherwise. im absolutely blown away by his style.

[TepidVision]

pleasure :) he was an underrated talent, we need more people exposed to this music

[allennnnnn91]

What is the song at 0:33 to 1:00??

[iancurtis1985]

@allennnnnn91 neighbour neighbour, one of my favourites

[bleuroo]

Excellent playing, and what a range he had!

The songs that moved me the most were the two between 1:27 and 2:40. I'm assuming those are Maajun and The Fakir, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Knowing that then, which album of Graham's do you suggest I get first?

[PomBare]

Yes you are right, indeed they are probably my favourite Davy tracks.

I would recommend 'Midnight Man' as your first buy, with Folk Blues & Beyond a very close second ;-)

[bleuroo]

Thanks very much!

[AndrehFelipe]

the first track is "No Preacher Blues"

[BuddinTheAmazing]

What is the first track that plays? It's class!

[MancBluesman]

Genius

[PCMusic75]

[bungalowbill969]

RIP Davey

[UglowD]

Sad to hear the news today. The man was a legend.

[Ozzkar]

Awful, awful news! I am deeply touched by the news of Davey's passing yesterday, despite discovering him, and his art, only a few weeks ago. He was truly one of a kind, and a great inspiration to me already, and to a dozen before me, surely. Damn, I hope he's happy whereever he might be now.

[mistermash]

RIP :(

I hope you take your guitar with you, heaven just got a great deal more musical.

[PomBare]

I didnt know he had died :( Oh dear, his music lives on. He will have his health back now he has slipped into the ether, and he will play to his best standard

[chipswebfish]
