[coolanddark]

Beautiful Solo!

[rexniswander]

That is really excellent



[mjmsongs]

Best guitar arrangement of this song I've ever heard... Bravo!

[RaibDarkin]

Look at those fingers.

Thats some guitar pickin' fingers if ever I seen them.

Well deserved grammy winner.

[ShakerCuda71]

kinda sounds like that one Jim Croce song. Like to tell you I love you in a song ... or something like that.

[sawabojo]

very nice

[Analist]

i ow it to myself to learn this song,..

[70076NUD]

This is a Master on Guitar. This song really reaches me like no other. I've heard the sweetest vocal arrangement by the INDIGO girls. This instrumental is golden in its fluidity a, harmony and rhythms. Yow!! I'm so lucky and grateful I found it today.

A shower of Blessings to mark Hanson. What a great sound you get out of those strings!

[silverinkpot7]

really nice version - so talented! ;)

Nothing like the guitar stylings of a boy brought up in Rochester, Minnesota!

Mark Hanson has a fingerstyle book with the tabs for this arrangement. I think you can order it from the website on the video. I love this rendition as well.

[NRMNDANY]

Un son d'une pureté et une mélodie d'une finesse que l'on ne se lasse pas d'écouter. Profil bas Monsieur l'artiste.

[witchman1]

Very very nice.

[nana4tion]

I have your fingerstyle lessons on video and dvd.  I love the way you play and I love to watch your hands.

[martinaxman]

Excellent version!

[martinaxman]

The original composer is some scotsman back in the 1600s. Do a google search on the title.

[tricked0]

wait.... i thought ed gerhard was the writer of it? who's the ORIGINAL composer then? both versions sound good. but i like this version better.... i'd like to learn more about this song in hopes of learning a style of it.

[steve8099]

The song has been arround since the 1600's. The composer has been lost to the sands of time.  Mark has music and tabs for this on his web site. I have just learned this version myself. I can finally play it well.

[tricked0]

good cover of Ed Gerhard

[steve8099]

This is actually an old traditional song, that Ed Gerhard plays however a closer listen will show this version is vastly different in its execution and construction. I doubt that Ed's version was even listened to during the writing of this arrangement.

[sweetcupcake34]

beautiful job!

[abiquinn]

Very nice Mark. Excuse my ignorance but, what make and model is the guitar in the clip?

It's a Collings SJ (Small Jumbo). Mahogany Back and Sides, Sitka Spruce top. Check our Mark's website. Lots of info there on equipment he uses, fingernails, you name it. Great resource!
