Two ppl with no ear for good music. I agree with one other I comment I read. I would put you up there with Andy and the others. The playing isnt as technical BUT! there is a lot of substance and catchy melody goin on here. You got a new fan outta me. For ppl who wanna learn how to play stuff like Andy McKee, this is a great place to start
Dude! I listened to a lot of fingerstyle-guitarists' stuff, the classic guys as well as the imitators...that's a bad word...mosot of them do their own stuff and just continue paying tribute by playing songs of their mentors, which has no negative value at all.
Great feeling, good song material without lyrics, unfortunately!
Give it a try, or find someone who sings on it!
4/5, if you put a good singer into it(like me, hehe...come to Germany),
Nice, a DMB t-shirt and Livestrong hat! I'm a DMB fanatic and avid cyclist so I really appreciate that. And, as a beginning guitar student, I'm blown away by your playing style.
is there any way you could do a tutorial of this piece? i think it would be amazing. nothing too in depth, its not necessary, just the tuning, which strings to tune however many frets up/down, and a little run down on some of the beginning?
i mean, i figure if i learned drifting by andy mckee in half an hour or so, i can learn this easily enough. its just an awesome song, and i'd like to play it when i'm chilling with some friends.
i play guitar..self taught..and uhm. if i could ever accomplish 5 seconds of one of your songs. my life would be complete :P
youre super talented. keep up the amazing work ! :)
also, question..it looks like youre just tapping on the strings..are you actually like plucking them you make noise come out ? i dont quite understand how this works :P
@MaryReynoldsMusic The first 1/3 and last 1/3 of the song i'm simply hammering and pulling off, so pushing down hard on the strings so that the note sounds. The middle 1/3 of the song where i'm tapping with my index fingers is a bit different. I'm just hitting the strings where harmonics sound. Harmonics are directly above frets 5, 7, 12, 19. So if I tap above those frets, that's when you hear the harmonic sound. I hope I answered your question! Thanks for the comment!
what? buckethead plays more standard tuning stuff. i've listened to nearly all of his music i could find. but this has to be some kind of an open tuning. i wish bucket would play more stuff like this. i know he has the talent and creativity for it, by leaps and bounds.
@DMBalchemy Nice finger tapping. I had a friend, who used to do a lot of tapping on his bass. I fool around with it sometimes, but it's just not my things. Anyhow, you do it well, and it sounds really cool.
Great work. I'm not exactly sure what you call this style--slap/slide guitar? Who cares. I like it. Beautiful tune. I don't comment on many songs but this one--had to let you know how much I like it. This is good stuff! Check out my tunes if you get a chance. Take care my friend.
hey. try listening to batman/ alexander supertramp
its amazing. or try listening to andy mckee, he has countless great songs like this. also look up smilguitar, another good player, though he's much less known. antoine dufour is also GREAT.
Holy wow....this looks and sounds soooooooo amazing! I've never heard a guitar sound so beautiful! I wish guitars were always played this way, I love it!
Great song!...Thanks for the invite to view it. The tapping was as enjoyable in its uniqueness to watch as it was to listen to. You have a great setup!
Congratulations, you're a true magician to play the guitar this way and then the sound is this!! congratulations for this achievement worthy of the music record books, thank you to you, it's super genial, 5000000 +++++++++, joselito
Awesome guitar working my friend...You have a great talent to be able to do that on an acoustic, with nothing but fret and finger tapping...I am very impressed... It takes some people an entire band to produce this sound and you did it all by yourself...I love this sound....You rock my friend...
I'm very impressed.You have a great melody with abit of percussion blended in..Nicely done as its fun to watch you play with the way you move your hands and tap with your fingers like that.I've seen alot musicians in restaurants,coffee houses, small clubs,venues ,ect that aren't as talented as you are.Keep going!
wow this is veryyy beautiful and I love the way you play the guitar! very awesome job I hope to see much more from you in the future!! When you get a chance check some of my stuff out ok thanks :) GOOD LUCK!! :)
@WeepingZeeGuitars I've found that wearing shoes is annoying with this song, somehow haha. Its sometimes hard to keep the guitar still, so I cross one leg over the other, then keep the guitar trapped between my heel and stomach. it helps lol. Glad you liked it!
I've seen many guitar talents, but this is unbelievable! How can you play so controlled as that guitar is on your legs? And then playing such a beautiful song so amazing! And... with two-hands-tab! Most of the time with óne rightfinger! Woahhhh..... you've really great talent and it's very original!
awesome .. .if i didn't say what was on my mind then it wouldn't be an honest comment . . .reminds me a LOT of that one guy who does air tap and percusien de fa . .. . mongrain ? maybe haha i like it bud
Very cool! :-)
