[brownsrd16]

Thanks. Regards from NZ

[mikerown]

awesome - cheers

[richardwright651]

Thanks, I use a sanyo xacti ca65 video camera which is a fairly basic watersports camera that records onto an SD card. I dont know exactly what sort of files they are but the camera comes with adobe premier 3. Ive done another version of this as the sound doesnt quite synch with the vision. Its not anything special at all but having a flip over screen helps as you can direct the camera to where you need it as you record...

[brownsrd16]

Can you tell me how you videoed this please. Camera, lens, format, filetype, mic etc. I want to post a few things myself and your images and sound are far and away the easiest way to visualise learning. Many thanks for posting.

[anivamila]

[martidoh]

you should have your own tv show - this is perfect instruction - thanks

[MichaelFrances]

i think im dyslexic because i could watch this for 100 years and not pick it up

[joshdat3reak]

Your are the BEST!

I have wanted to learn this song for ages and thanks to your video, I now can

Thanks soooooo much

[AndyLeece]

is this played with a dropped d

[richardwright651]

Thanks for all the comments guys!

yes its dropped D tuning.....

[PeterOzanne]

Actually, to be clear: it's double dropped D.

Ist and 6th strings both D.

 This video is very good.

[PeterOzanne]

Sorry, think I was wrong: just one D :-)

[TomWilsonUSA]

Thanks for that. Great job.

[rlippiett]

Thanks for this - really helped me get some of the finer points of the song and play it as a tribute the day after John died. Go down easy fella. cheers rick

[fireworkboy]

The Big Man is down. RIP John x

[ryanlwb2]

Really helpfull, thanks man. Wish there were more videos like this around. Take it easy. Ryan.

[JoeChrisMorris]

Very cool

[oldgreeeg]

Thank you so much for this video, i love this style of play and it helped my learn a truely magnificent song, John Martyn actually lives a few miles down the road from me! Never had the guts to say hello though!! Again thanks!

[pauljulius132]

Excellent! The best lesson I have ever seen on youtube. Thank You!

[richardwright651]

well I dont know about that!... thanks though....

[joeallison2k]

thankyou for a clear demonstration

[enrolstyles]

Thankyou so very much Richard for de-mystifying that song for me. Learned it in an hour instead of months. very VERY greatful to you. I shall do my bit and post up some that i know. What a great medium this is for guitar.

[Scribbler68]

Lovely version of it, but you're misleading the learner players when you say you're playing it in concert tuning. Unless I'm way off the mark, you're playing it in dropped D tuning (the low E string tuned down to a D).

And, John Martyn actually plays it with his capo on the 4th fret, not the third. But, aside from those minor errors, you're actual playing is spot on. Well done.

[richardwright651]

Yeah, you're totally right. Sorry about misleading anyone. I did the first/main movie in Eb dropped D with capo on the 4th. Then I got so many requests for the tab, I decided to just do this a bit slower by which time I'd re tuned to concert pitch. Ill correct the title... thanks for pointing that out...

[richardwright651]

Yes, its definately concert pitch with a dropped D

[JonWaking]

Many thanks for showing us how to play this beautiful song!I made a CD for my daughters to play at bedtime, calming songs by John Martyn, Nick Drake etc and they especially LOVE this song! I've always wondered how to play this piece as it sounded really tricky to learn...but not any more. Cheers! Keep up the good work.

[jackofallinstruments]

Just found this - incredibly helpful, thanks! Shutting PC down and picking up guitar now!

[jackofallinstruments]

Er, maybe I was a bit hasty in shutting down the PC - I need to take another look! Still, it was a better effort than I've ever managed before thanks to your video.

[richardwright651]

hi... glad you found this helpful... once you get it rolling along with the rythm its not too difficult..

[JoeChrisMorris]

Very cool post I think! Good old standard tuning!

[BianceLR]

Nevermind I see you already did! Thanks. :)

[paulg5350]

Thanks for doing this slowed down version. I've been trying to figure this out for a while

[uncle10]

When I first heard this song I thought how am I ever gonna play that!! But thanks to you i've learnt it in a day!! Thank you very much Richard i'm extremely grateful!

[richardwright651]

You have just made my day! :o)

[principlejay]

Excellent. Was using a tab I found yesterday then came across your vid which has made it so much easier. Thanks

[redpyjamas]

Well been looking for this for yonks. Still can't play it though. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

[daviehardie]

Richard, just put it together not too bad - thanks v. much.

[richardwright651]

Top man... dont forget to share it with us?

[Meerva]

Great :)

[daviehardie]

Great stuff mon ami. Good video and first class tuition - keep them coming.

[richardwright651]

thanks squire!

[daviehardie]

Richard could you confirm your tuning for me.

Cheers

[richardwright651]

sorry only just seen this.... I think this is concert pitch with a dropped D with capo on 3rd. Once you have de-tuned your e string a tone, you can put the capo any where you like really? the higher up the neck it is the easier it will be to play of course?

[daviehardie]

cheers, much appreciated.

[Qpidon]

Thanks for posting this, now I'm gonna learn this immortal!

P

[richardwright651]

go go go!!!

[richardwright651]

sorry about the delay on the video... not much I can do about it really....
