i find it hard to play this song on acoustic cause i can't get my hammer ons very loud on acoustic. so i've been playing it on a gibson SG. i know thats not how its meant to be played, it sounds alot better on acoustic.
thanks garry. you're an amazing guitar player and writer. i bought your dvd and was able to learn this song. its still not as perfect as you play it, but i'm getting there. great instrumental. i love it.
ROCK-ON ,,,yes and mental ...lol ,,,very cool man .. i think your awsome man and have the coolest lessons i can relate to ,,,do you host a fishing show ??? I just restored a 17' double eagle w 2 new scotty downriggers for BC salmon fishing ,,,lol ..any way really have enjoyed your talent and sharing ,,peace bro
This tune gets me everytime, what is it called apart from an award winning instrumental, does it have a name? I would be in my very own heavan if I could play anywhere near as good, and could you explain how you slap the guitar with your right hand, that is a technique which looks cool but is the devil to pick up.
thanks for posting decent original well played music.
A truely fantastic instrumental Garry but it looks very daunting for some one who has only just started to play. I've saved as my favouites all of your YouTube vids. Are all of your tutorials on your website suitable for a complete beginner, I'd like to learn properly from the start with your DVD's any advice for a complete novice. Thanks mate.
Amazing, If I could ever play like that I'd be a very happy camper. What's next Garry? After I pick my mouth up off the floor, might be able to play my own guitar. Wonderful what a tallent.
absolutely fantastic, Garry. I've always been a big fan of Michael Hedges, and it's obvious you two have similar style and phrasing. Dare I say your sound is more melodic and full (if you're up there listening Michael, sorry). I'm most impressed and ashamed I didn't find you sooner :) Just when I figured I was destined to the same old blues licks and hand full of James Taylor tunes, I get inspired all over again. thanks - I'll be looking into your DVD...

Listen Cousin, I am now begging you, begging you, to play 'Fire and Rain' all the way through without teaching anyone how to play it. I am not learning how to play the guitar. As it turns out the people in our family who are not born with perfect pitch are completely tone deaf and it can get very ugly, as I'm sure you have witnessed. So any way. Please play and post!. I should get some pull for being a relative. Oh, and thank you for the CD. Dad gave it to me:)
hahahahaha my favorite part of the video is where it says "you can play this"...I only wish I could, don't think I would live long enough to learn it..hahahahah, ....thanks for the great posts !!! they rock !
I dont care for slap playing (anyones) but your fingerstyle and song composure is phenominal. Really, really great. It was a pleasure to hear and watch. Also..your tutorials are fantastic...thank you.
Yeah, but you are my cousin and I know that you are a musical genius. Now why don't you play "Fire and Rain" full through for those of us who just listening for enjoyment.
Thanks for checking out my instruMENTAL. I played guitar for over 20 years before I ever heard of tabs. You don't need tabs to learn this song. I teach it at slow and super slow mo. and have taught it in person to many teenagers. Some of them play it as well as me. If I can think this song up in my head without tabs, I KNOW that most people can learn it without tabs when I teach it at super slow mo. Thanks again, Garry
As a beginner/intermediate that has been playing for 18 months - thankyou for showing me what I clearly will never be capable of. I think I should just go get a drink aand have a lie down....amazing
was this song in the movie August Rush? because it sounds and looks a little similar to what the kid was faking he could play, particularly the way you do the hand slap
WOAH this is great, im definitely buying your dvd, i can already play riff #13 and the end with the harmonics, but i really want to learn the rest, haha
Um yeah, i used to think i was getting pretty good on guitar, now my self esteem has dropped to negative numbers. dude, this is like, um ... like, well I can't come up with the word, but its dang good.
Alright, i've received the dvd yesterday, and my level is between beginner and intermediate. All I can is after 1 hour of practicing, the 1st riff is already in my fingers. Very good teaching. I love it ! Thanx Garry !
jdalend, I went to his youtube page and clicked on his website link, it took me straight there with no problems. Buy the dvd, its totally worth it. Great Picture, Great Sound, Great Teaching.
omg i dont know u, but u sent me this messgage, i thought u were some bogus nerd just leasrning to p;lay. but you got real skill. this is goin' on my favs!
