[SwankySky]

[gewerh44]

@SwankySky

not a must, but helps A LOT for speed and clearer notes

[gewerh44]

[Henders941]

I will! But the bit with the single string picking, after the opening section...any tips? :)

[gewerh44]

@Henders941

dont know what part exactly, but this is not a hard song, you just gotta practice really hard in order to get used to the mojo of the tune.

[Henders941]

No problem! Do you have any tips on playing this? It would be much appreciated!

[gewerh44]

@Henders941

well, just practice hard my friend!

[Henders941]

Holy crap, amazing!

[gewerh44]

@xDnWxNiTrOx

thanks!

[CropCircle1996]

Pretty difficult to PLAY it so amazing work.....but I'm always thinking about how difficult was only to COMPOSE this song.....Jerry and Chet were geniuses!

[gewerh44]

@CropCircle1996

youre so right, they were guitar magicians

[Darknessenceify]

I almost hate you for making it look so easy, but seeing as you are playing such an awesome piece, I truly cannot hate you, you my man, deserve respect, and you certainly get mine

[gewerh44]

@Darknessenceify

thanks man, its an easy song if you practice it enough :P

thanks for watching ;)

[AntiEmoMetalhead92]

OMG Chet Atkins doing sweep in 1975 though it is fran gambale the one credited for...hmm i think history has something to explain to us...

[gewerh44]

@AntiEmoMetalhead92

I know, when I watched that, I was like "Son of a B__ch!!!"

Chet rocks!

[jmgoni]

Excellent cover Man! One question, is it easier to play it with that pick in your finger? Because im trying to learn it without it and it's being very difficult to me

[jmgoni]

@jmgoni Ah, sos mexicano aparentemente. Podes responderme en español si queres!

[gewerh44]

@jmgoni

pues yo creo que depende de la persona, yo puedo tocar la canción con el thumbpick o sin él, pero creo que se escucha mejor con el thumbpick. Además, por la misma razón debes dejarte las uñas largas en la mano derecha; mayor definición y claridad en las notas.

saludos! :D

[LedStonesZep]

This=EPICNESS, i watched this vid like 10 tens when i discovered it awesome work XD

[gewerh44]

@LedStonesZep

thanks my friend!

[LedStonesZep]

@gewerh44 If you don't mind me asking how long did it take to get the fingerpicking down? And are you fluent with fingerpicking in general or just this song? I really want to learn this song and others that do a lot of fast fingerpicking like Bron-y-aur-stomp Live version by Led Zeppelin. and btw if you had any spare time...could you do a cover of that song? Think you would kill it bro :D

[gewerh44]

@LedStonesZep

Ive always loved fingerpicking. I tried it even with songs that didnt need it.

I know a few songs where fingerpicking shines like this one, but I should learn more songs like this one. I want to figure out more Jerry Reed songs such as Mule Skinner Blues or Guitar Man.

This song was the fastest fingerpicking song I ever tried at that moment, and took me a while to get the speed down. Around 1 week and a half.

Yeah Ive always wanted to cover that live version! :D

[TheMrGuitarofrock]

this song always makes me happy

[gewerh44]

@TheMrGuitarofrock

me too ;D

[94MLW]

I've got to buy a guitar straigt away!

I want to be able to do this!

Great!

[gewerh44]

@94MLW

[Eowyn707]

Siempre he tenido una pregunta :S, qué técnica específicamente se utiliza para poder tocar esta canción y de dónde la aprendo!!!

[gewerh44]

@Eowyn707

pues yo no soy experto, solo escuché mucho la canción y la saqué a oido. Después miré videos donde Jerry toca esta canción, solo para aclarar algunas dudas que tenia. Es una canción dificil al principio, es fácil cuando ya la estudiaste un buen tiempo.

saludos!

[mastersnapes]

wow si que eres bueno D:

oye me podrias decir donde conseguiste la tab para esa canción

tengo poco tocando la guitarra y esa canción me gusto xD

[gewerh44]

R.I.P. Jerry. You did it all. . . sang, wrote, produced, engineered, acted. . . and talented people like you are too seldom seen in the entertainment business today.

[gewerh44]

@rayjr62

thanks

RIP Jerry

[PAULINHO785]

Este es el que más me gusta de todos tus videos, es muy diferente a las demás! ese sonidito que tiene es tan divertido pero uyy parece que se necesita practicar bastante para tener esa sincronía!!, Otra tab más añadida al carrito de compras :-D

[gewerh44]

@PAULINHO785

me da gusto saber eso, es también uno de mis favoritos ;)

saludos!

[jonnytaco5167]

[gewerh44]

@jonnytaco5167

[jonnytaco5167]

How long did it take to learn this song. Its a beautiful song and id soon like to learn it.

[gewerh44]

@jonnytaco5167

took me around 2 weeks

thanks for watching!

[biggfingger5]

Very nice,I also enjoy playing this ..but man,I really appreciate your tribute to Chet and Jerry at the end,,very nice,I;m sure they would appreciate it

@JonathanRingo

[swet2467]

Amazing....I hope I will play it like you.....

How is called song on the end....?

[gewerh44]

@swet2467

thanks my friend

its "Im so lonely I could cry" by Hank Williams Sr.

[SwankySky]

aren't you supposed to play this song without picking with your index finger? I'm just wondering because Jerry never used his index finger live. sick playing btw man :P

[gewerh44]

@SwankySky

I know how Jerry plays it, but that doesnt mean I have to use the exact same fingers, as long as I play the right notes :)

thanks for watching!

[Rene97S]

Omg he makes it look SO easy...just amazing.

[gewerh44]

@Rene97S

thanks for watching ;)

[Gauldoth06]

GOSH! I have to learn this....

[gewerh44]

@Gauldoth06

I think every guitarist should

Its such a great and fun song to play!!! Besides it teaches you so many things

[Gauldoth06]

It took me two weeks to learn Comptine d'un autre ete from Amelie...so it will probably took me like one month to learn Jerry's Breakdown. :-) I bet you have done it in two days...

[hackerisslv]

@gewerh44 gouing to learn it :P

[mrdominicsee]

how did you record this? you used your effects pedal too?

[gewerh44]

@mrdominicsee

yes, its an electroacoustic guitar

[MrLalizimo]

see ve dificil xD elias muy buena rola (: paso el siguiente sabado :D

[gewerh44]

@MrLalizimo

está fácil ;) nada más requiere un montón de práctica :P

[nineveh420]

that's really good man. So where's that sick run of sweep pickin chet does near the end there? ;) I can't do it either...

[gewerh44]

@nineveh420

he plays it on the live version, my cover is based on the studio version

thanks for watching!

[ruassmarkt]

i guess you really have to cool down your fingers... like with liquid nitrogen or stuff

[gewerh44]

@ruassmarkt

haha ;) thanks for watching !

[MrExodus91]

I think Jerry's Breakdown is the best fingerstyle song ever... and you mastered it. I' ve seen so many of your covers, they are the best on YouTube, no matter if you play electric or acoustic.

[gewerh44]

@MrExodus91

I agree with that, this is the best song for fingerpicking! really challenging and a lot of fun.

thanks for watching!

[punkrocka1992]

Hey - great job - just got one question... On the acoustic part do you use palm mutes or some effect to get the sound? :)

[gewerh44]

@punkrocka1992

no my friend, its pure fingerpicking

[LKrevival]

That was great, so far away from what I dab with usually, think I might mess with this song to try and expand, thanks.

[gewerh44]

@LKrevival

you should definitely try this song. It will make all of your fingers faster

besides its a lot of fun

[LKrevival]

@gewerh44

btw, your other hobby/passion as in your user name is a hobby/passion of mine also besides guitar, though I haven't touched a trigger much lately because of focusing on guitar with what free time I have, cheers

[gewerh44]

@LKrevival

thats cool man. you guys in the US are in the paradise of firearms fans.

we dont have it that easy in México. Firearms are illegal here. Even getting to see one is very hard :(

[ArbiterKL]

hey i saw that you sold your gibson sg and that you gonna buy a tube amp. Do you know what tube amp youre going to buy? And great cover, i didnt know you played acoustic that good ;)

[gewerh44]

@ArbiterKL

thanks my friend, I bought a MA50c, great for the money.

[Vidzalicious]

firstly, amazing job. Not a single flaw that I could pick out, you played it perfect.

Secondly, i'm about to start learning Jerry's breakdown, are there any parts that were particularly hard for you? and any tips on learning it? haha

Many thanks if you manage to reply.

[gewerh44]

@Vidzalicious

thanks man

well, the whole song has the same difficulty, I mean, if you have the skills to play the intro well, you will play the rest of the song well

[wpepie]

one minute its your time... DO IT!!!

haha great job dude, mayby i should start playing guitar also. guess its not very easy to learn

[gewerh44]

@wpepie

thanks my friend, its easy, but it takes a lot of time,

thats why I people always quit after a few weeks of months.

[actereox]

nice cover, greath solo :D

[gewerh44]

@actereox

thanks!

[robban97swe]

Jeez, you're great on electic, but I didn't knew that you are this good at acoustic, self I think it's hard to play stairway to heaven not the electric part... Really awesome work, as always;)

[gewerh44]

@robban97swe

thanks man, it wasnt easy to learn this song, never had to fingerpick this fast before ;)

[robban97swe]

@gewerh44 Haha, it's sick for been playing around 2.5 years and play that xD Awesome work once again!

[unknown000111]

incredible...



[gewerh44]

@unknown000111

[gewerh44]

@UchihaRobert2007

[strings1955]

Now if you'd a just gotten that Chet Atkins 'super lick' arppegio in there...

[gewerh44]

@strings1955

This is a cover of the studio version of this song. Theres no super lick in that version. But one of these days I will make a cover of that amazing live version where Chet adds that awesome sweeping

[Oxide008]

I'd pay to watch you play in a concert lol

[gewerh44]

@Oxide008

thanks man, that means a lot

[Laykoz7]

wow! nice les paul!

[gewerh44]

@Laykoz7

[uriel866]

[gewerh44]

@uriel866

No, its how the original song was recorded
