I'll fly away (O'brother tune)

[spinasweetness]

this is awesome... but uhhh, did you use a microwave to film this?

[yolemafreux]

@spinasweetness Nope, it's just my first crappy camera and my first attempts with Youtube video settings ! In fact, this my first video !

[Frombonics]

[wehappyfewmusic]

Hey, thanks very much for adding your video as a response to mine. I'm honored considering i learnt it off your version!

[ribbob]

thank you found the tab great

[ribbob]

great have you the tab

[yolemafreux]

Yes.

The link is present in the description of the vid.

[apc467]

@yolemafreux how much did that cost?

[naachill]

very nice playing,,

relaxing song, 5 stars!

[Shifty567]

Very nice.

[jsteve1424]

I just got one of these, and it was my great grandma's and the strings are about five years old and i was wondering what kind of strings to use for it, any suggestions?

[Flanneljack]

bronze wound, martins. bronze has a rich folk sound, but can take a beating if you use harder picks (i.e. a quarter)

[yolemafreux]

Totally agree. I use Martin bronze acoustic medium gauge (13 - 56) on mine.

[Flanneljack]

Martin est le mielleur pour la acoustique, quelle type de guitar avez -vous?

[yolemafreux]

Désolé du retard...

Cest une copie weissenborn Goldtone LM en acajou laminé.

[purposemaker909]

great tune whats thu tuning and is there a tab out there

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment.

See description for tuning and tab's link.

[Oldpiper73]

Sounds great. Just a Weissenborn a few days ago and appreciate the tab. They're hard to find.

[blugrasscountry6]

great job, maybe you can check out me and the kids do a song too thanks

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment.

I have seen vids and let a message on your youtube's page...

[rasberry123]

Very nice

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment

[gpa1088]

P.S. I like the "fuzzy" camera. Adds to the mood...

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment.

[gpa1088]

Just added this to my very first "favorite" list. Inpired me to quit humming and hawing over it and buy my very own Weissenborn. Thank you! gpa1088

[yolemafreux]

You're welcome and thanks for comment !

Warning : weissenborn/lapsteel playing is addictive !

I'm sure you will take pleasure from your instrument in near future...

regards, Yo.

[gpa1088]

Yes, I just got my weissenborn yesterday! I love it already, if you don't mind i already figured out this beautiful tune you play and have been practicing for hours. Thanks again!

[yolemafreux]

Happy for you ! What's the brand ?

I don't know if you have already seen the link for tablature in description of the video, may it helps you...

Welcome on slide planet !

Contact me when you do your fist vid with your new instrument !

Cheers , Yo

[gpa1088]

Thank you, I will check out the link later, sadly I have to put my slide down and go to work. It is a 'Enorez' weissenborn style I bravely bought off e-bay from a music store in NJ whose owner designs them himself. I beleive his name is Timothy Zerone. Note the backward spelling of his name for the guitar. !

[NuG919]

incredible sound..whats up with your camera?

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment. Camera simply sucks... and I was no used to have good video settings when I released this (framerate, extension, resolution and few others things).

This is my first vid on youtube! Happy you enjoyed it !

[chrometanned]

Dobro is one of the most beautiful instruments when played well. You play it well.

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment !

But it's not a Dobro, it's a "weissenborn".

Same way of playing anyway...

[matrox999]

this brought me back to georgia and sitting in church listening to the choir.

[and26rip]

i dont really like this music im from up north

but dam good!!

[matrox999]

its strange because when youre fromt eh south this touches you deep down inside. isnt that a strange thing?

[horsetrooper859]

Coming from a Kentucky boy I think this is great! It sounds very authentic. Thanks for the music!

[gre8]

Just felt like I was somewhere in the middle of Kentucky! =)

Great song, great execution.

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment !

[GeoBar12]

Superbe, Yo! Toucher parfait (là, les onglets seraient de trop, OK). T'endors pas sur tes lauriers, trouve le contrechant! Septembre! (t'es en Ré, tant pis pour moi!)

[JoMaConway]

Great work partner. If you ever make a cut of this please let me know. I'd love to have a copy. Best of luck.

[Ultstadt]

wow, that's really good. good job man.

[chauk10]

Excellent

[lovejesusalways]

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!! perfect sooo beautiful

God bless,

Have faith in the lord

[jeffreenice]

One word.....Beautiful!!

[Beatmyguest001]

Lovely, Playing. ;]

[CowgirlKittyKat]

You play really well. Maybe you could teach me a few tricks.

[yolemafreux]

I see you live in USA and I think you can easily find a teacher in lapsteel playing, it isn't the case in my country... and I have poor skills in english and in teaching lap style guitar.

Anyway,thanks for comment !

[Crissdee]

That is great! I have been trying to do this. I have a Fender lap steel. What key is yours tuned in?

[yolemafreux]

Thanks. I'm tuned in open D (D.A.D.F#.a.d)

[timgould4u]

Brilliant, what a great player and a great instrument. Tim.

[RheinlandTom]

Wow, cool. I didn´t know that instrument yet. It´s not a guitar and not something Austrians would call a dulcimer either.

[yolemafreux]

In fact it's a guitar but an hawaiian one ! It's commonly named Weissenborn because of the name of the most famous manufacturer in the beginning of century.

You can only play it with a bar slide (piece of metal) and not your fingers.

See my other vids if you really want to see the instrument because this one (the vid) is awful ! And thanks for comment !

[natureswhey]

Thanks very much.. beautiful job..keep posting...Thanks also for the TAB link..

A New Fan

Kevin

[yolemafreux]

Happy you like it Kevin ! thanks for comment

[otsegoflake]

Wonderful

[yolemafreux]

Thanks for comment

[aelchante]

je viens juste de découvrir ta page You Tube !!!

bravo mr Weiss ! je regarde bien comment donc que tu fais, et dès demain j'essaye de faire pareil (il y a du boulot)... je suis dans mes début en jeu à plat !!!

en tout cas bravo !

Aël

[yolemafreux]

Salut Aël !

Ben c'est ma première vidéo... Ravi que ca te plaise.

Si le morceau te branche, t'as la tablature sur le forum.

Faudrait que l'on se goupille un rencard avec sébastopol !

Yo

[sylvaindu54110]

Bonjour je voudrais savoir où trouver cette tablature car je ne trouve pas de forum

[daddystovepipe]

lovely and sweet!

[yolemafreux]

thanks daddy. I really appreciate comments from you...

You're an exemple for me. Keep it on !

[ayello2007]

vraiment excellent !

quel est , svp , le tirant de vos cordes ?

[yolemafreux]

j'utilise des Martin medium pour guitare acoustique (du grave à l'aigu: Ré 56, La 45, Ré 35, Fa# 26, La 17, et je remplace le Ré par du 15 au lieu de 13) après tout dépend du diapason de la guitare. Mais perso je trouve ca encore trop mou...

[yolemafreux]

thanks david. I like your sound too!

[daviemcf]

Lovely tone dude!! 5 stars!

[yolemafreux]

thanks for comment.

I'm used to play on lapsteel (with heavy string gauge) that's why my playing is shy on this video.

I try to do better next time.

[bluespower]

a great take , but pick a little harder,put your soul into this great music!regards bluespower..

[yolemafreux]

pour l'instant au niveau visuel, je peux pas faire mieux!

Et au niveau son ca manque d'aigu. je cherche encore mes réglages...
