Dark Hollow - Traditional

[toady115]

Very nice job on this. One of the best covers I've heard on Youtube. Keep on pickin em.

[mrgiantmidget1]

I've been told that my late grandfather, Johnny Dunn, wrote this song.

[deathmetal44]

nice!

[gracefulfish]

So to get here 2 years late, but I'm likin' it. =)

[PNDrocks]

Great Stuff man

[BanjoEclipse]

Spectacular performance of this song. Great guitar, great voice.

[tabstivers]

[flbeliever5]

Great job on that! Really like your voice. Thanks for sharing

[MrIcabodJones]

old traditional...played by many...check clarence white....good job on it!

[laxdoug1269]

[maddo039]

[mikedowd66]

danhasreverb

[danielhassixstrings]

@mikedowd66 haha, yeah. i went a bit nuts with the effects.

[BanjoEclipse]

Awesome.

[Mrinfo11]

Your version of this song does it justice. The Grateful Dead's version is awesome as well. Different sounds, but the only two versions that really bring it out. - SG

[plop14]

you are incredible my man, keep em comin. jerrry would be proud

[mike06812]

i always come back to this for a quick pick me up- truly a great performance.

[katscratch18]

this one is so cool. flawless. i love how authentic it and "take this hammer" sound. love the south.

[BlueEiz78]

Amazing - and cute to boot! You could sing to me anytime! :0)

[kharmakreep]

very nice.

[deathlikesilence710]

great but it has nothing on the dead

[GavinGT]

This guy's awesome, but that goes without saying. Kinda depends on the recording, however.

[deathlikesilence710]

listen to the version on bears choice

its awesome as well

[kharmakreep]

it has nothing on the dead because it isn't the dead. why compare? This is great...suck it up and keep your tunnel vision comments to yourself.

[deathlikesilence710]

LMAO

...k

[kharmakreep]

what is LMAO....anyone?

[deathlikesilence710]

laugh my ass off

[kharmakreep]

haha

[lampens]

Man. i like your stuff. Makes me want to sing and play guitar. I can only play the guitar, can't sing a note to save my life. one question, is there a reason you tuned this a half step up from regular tuning?

[vincentbynumbers]

beautiful job!

[mike29th]

Wow! good job! Any chance you could give your chord progression?

[kneehaa]

Great voice man "WELL DONE", you just reminded me of this song. I had forgotten all about it . Cheers

[Colour34]

Damn that was really good. Beautiful sir.

[ob1ob123]

very nice job

[mrsweettater]

Really nice job! I love the guitar, the voice and the whistling solo. Damn nice!

[mike06812]

been watching this vid for over 2 years. luv it !! what else u got?

[Poco50guitar]

WOW! Best version i have ever heard ot this song.....keep'em comin

[frenchmansgirl]

what's your mic on this..sounds great!

[danielhassixstrings]

thanks! it's a rode nt-4, i believe, but it's been a while since i recorded this, so i'm not entirely sure?

[frenchmansgirl]

i like it!

[jkilcull]

smooth...

[Gunz4glory]

Great Job, I really enjoyed this, I definitely want to learn this song.

Again Great Job.

Paul

[MissChrstine]

absolutely amazing, your voice is perfection.

[Mirage416]

Kick ass man.

[creativecompanion]

love it....

[lavendercreek]

Wow..that was awesome!

[runtothesun1702]

holy moly man awesome! you sound great keep up the good tunes

[otto5656]

He knocks the rest of that beer back then just nails the song. Perfect man, I mean that. If I could mimic one song on the guitar and play it like someone else it would be this.

[FredThaHead]

That was pretty damn smooth brotha!!!

[ddenneberg1973]

nice job dude... great tune...

[tybeeton]

what key are you playing in.....chords?

[cactuscrust]

to me it sounds like capo 3 with the following chords:

[intro] G C G(2 bars)

[verse/chorus] G C G(3 bars) C G(3 bars) G7

C(2 bars) G D7 G(2 bars)

That's pretty much it. Listen to the video if the bars don't make sense.

[slammyjammy38]

wow... just awesome. perfect song through out.

[snshngrl97]

I could sit beside you and listen while you sing all night long. It's perfect.

[amosbomb]

Hey great version of one of my favorite songs.  Rock on brother!

[robbiebrenton]

just happened to be passing through and heard this. loved it.

would like for you to post the strumming pattern you used, this from someones who loves guitar but just learning

[papineauta]

Yeah!

[AngelHeadedHipster84]

I seriously can't get enough of this!!! I listen to it anytime I need a pick me up. Simply top shelf. People keep saying you should do other versions, I think it's just fine the way it is. Well done.

[kallegu]

Loved it!

[jimmyfrancicone]

bob weir sung this song

[Alienated29]

2:54 he loses his mind :) Badass song. I can't find a good version of this song anywhere. It's all live. I heard this on the radio as I was coming home from work. This is Grateful Dead right? There's so many people that's covered this song.

[danielhassixstrings]

ha! that's good. i had to go back and watch to see what you were talking about. (i never know how to end songs.)

[gibsonrocker800]

Excellent. But you should listen to the Grateful Dead's "Dark Hollow"

[otto5656]

Why should he listen to the dead's version? So he can make his sound like there's? They did not write it.

[aintnomorecane]

Beautiful beautiful!!!!!!

[AngelHeadedHipster84]

this is beautiful! really love it!! You're outstading.

[reeffrrrmaddnesss]

do you miss me playin this steph

[reeffrrrmaddnesss]

...

[scorpioeightytwo]

somebody plz post the one sung by Jerry garcia,the great,Greatful Dead..........that's as soothing too...

[uptheriv]

Have you covered and Townes VanZant? You'd be great doing almost any song of his.

[aaronshoe]

You are incredible. Man, your voice is something special. You need to get discovered. You can go places with that range. im serious.

[danielhassixstrings]

Thanks very much. I'm trying to go places, just not sure how.

[FiveStringFun]

Wow! Great work!

[shmittyb28]

could you post what keys and where the capo is on this song i tried to figure it out, but no luck thanks

[skullvulture]

christ, i've always loved the bluegrass version of this song by the kentucky colonels and muleskinner backed up by clarence white, but between your delivery and the minor key i've never felt this song more. nice work.

[Spartan936]

this is just ****ing great. I love the old school folk. You should do some originals. Inspires me to write more of my own. You should chech them out. Nice work, dude.

[cooltalker60]

a classic

[shmittyb28]

just noticed you even drink the best beer, new castle is my favorite, good beer good music, nuttin better

[danielhassixstrings]

yup. can't really beat new castle and guinness.

[shmittyb28]

you are one of, if not the best i have heard on here. i love the wide scope of your music and the conviction at which you play it. this song is probably my favorite, because my grandfather always played and sung songs like this...keep up the good work

[N9GSU]

Oh man. I have ALWAYS loved this song...but, dude..you do it with such heart. I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Thank you!

[jinxxter]

very nice!!!

[danielhassixstrings]

editing?

[TheBSG]

I absolutely love how every one of the traditional tunes has alcohol in the background.

[danielhassixstrings]

i never noticed before, but it makes me happy, too.

[yinyangron]

God what a lonely song, a song of loneliness. A sad song. But you make it nice to listen to. Well done!!

[wordwan]

Jeese, I love this song. Some kind of reverb or echo or something? Nicely done.

Found a label yet?

Heather

wordwan

[danielhassixstrings]

yep. an old plate real dry in the mix.

[sqb247]

wow!! amazing...

[navale1973]

I meant to say History of the Grateful Dead Volume I (Bears Choice)

[navale1973]

This song has been played by Grateful Dead. Check out Bears Choice Vol-I.

[zzzit]

superb!

[anniemcu]

Nicely done. I haven't heard that one in a long time.

[wakker17]

I love this song, and love the way that you sing it...but everytime i listen to this i cant stop thinking of the song life is a song by patrick park.

Its reminds me of that song soo much!

Anyways keep up the good work, and keep on keepin on!

[Isodig]

I agree with Sis.. They don't party like that around here but I wish they did. Awesome job man, love the vocals and whistling.

[ContessaNatasha]

Brilliant. As much as other genre's can suit your voice, I do think that folk is your best style. Wonderful job. And I could understand what you said this time! See? You can mumble while still ennunciating.

Great job. *goes to add to favorites*

[sistaspooky1013]

Man, I want to be in a party where you and some of the above listed artists/musicians are singing folk songs. I'll even drink for that!

Great touch. You're the perfect artist to sing a folk song and that sound, man, u gotta tell me the secret of that sound. No, don't tell, keep it magic ;p

Peace,

Sis

[KrisShred]

Lovely tune, love these folk tunes

[wmeu]

Amazing :)

Must be one of my favourite performances of yours, top notch :)

[bowie4968]

great job Dan!!!! From your fans in N. Cal.....you rule......still waiting on those how to's.....thanks man.

[davidlenander]

I'm not sure where the song is from, either, but it shares at least some lyrics with "East Virginia," as sung by Joan Baez, I think on her second album. Recently, Roger McGuin featured it on his Folk Den recordings/web-site. Others have recorded that song, too (maybe Carolyn Hester??), but somehow I think that I've heard something closer to your arrangement done by some Bluegrass band on the radio. You do a convincing and nice job, I guess it's nice that you've made it your own.
