The Claw (Jerry Reed)

[VLombardi01]

cool version!

[TheMemphisSlim]

Very good job... play it a bit slower to catch all the notes, it sounds much better and allows to really work the frets.. very good job..

[GospelClassical]

Very good!

[FreerunnerDave]

better if it was metal strings

[TheMemphisSlim]

@FreerunnerDave It's classically played with Nylon strings as per Jerry Reed's version.

[insaneguitarfreak]

That was FUC%ing GROOVY man! i loved it!

congratulations!!!

[xThexBanditx]

shit the bed man, you're good!

[unknownkingdom]

Playing guitar fingerstyle/classical really helps you learn. Even if you mostly play electric, it will really surprise you how much you can learn from it.

[DodehM3]

plz could u give me the tabs for it....

thanks

[JDDuffee]

Go to Martin Tallstrom's website, and you'll find it there.

[xXxLovexOrxDiexXx]

[hesneyk1]

well done brother, Jerry'd be damb proud!

[chrileboy]

[JohnFredC]

Most excellent! Thank you... there's lots to learn in that little demonstration.

[rotolo]

what the heck!

[pissballs]

you got the claw!

[Jsthegr8]

wow very clean....Thumbs up

[undurground]

Really liked listening to this. Lenny Breau did a nice version of this too, it's on you tube

[WA7ERMelonRYAN]

wow. very good sir. that makes me really happy to know people still appreciate jerry's music. that dude is a virtuoso on the guitar&banjo as well.

nice job bro!

[1SomaCruz]

Hey, very nice played! Do you know where I can find the transcription to the last solo on the Internet? ( 1:07 - 1:22 ) I can play the rest, but I think it might be too expensive to buy an entire book for that part...

[ib422000]

Sounds great on the nylon strings. Well done!

[dosgoat]

I think Jerry is smiling :)

[Frankengelsvoll]

Very good, dude!

[junkyjuice21]

How polite.

[britzhere]

hey great job.. Reed would be proud...heck with all these other wanna bees... your version is great !! thanks for posting..

[EeeCee1]

2 for the price of 1. I can kinda see how the finger pattern works, AND, I got a laugh at the "palm at 90 degrees" gag, first time I've seen it, cheers.

[glibguy3]

Sorry, Tommy Jones was the best. Check out his video.

[HellbilliesLakafant]

Is that an ordinary acoustic guitar?

[lefthandedguitar]

Its a nylon string or classical whichever you prefer.

[weimer495]

im teaching my sefe to play this song.. its hard as hell (thats what she said!) good job bro

[glibguy3]

Check out Tommy Jones version if you want something to strive for.

[VLombardi01]

nice!

[schuey999]

Good job. Quick tip ... If you square your palm at a 90 degree angle with the neck you'll find the fingering easier.

[rockwoodrummer]

THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

[seneca124]

DAMN YOU BEAT ME TO IT!!!

[rockwoodrummer]

haha i couldnt resist i had to say it!!

[BenjaminScottDavis]

Which recording did you get that from? It seems to follow the form of the popular post of Jerry Reed Live by "alyagotado" rather than the transcription from "Heavy Necking". I appreciate the nylon - very Guy VanDuser-esque. (please show your right hand on subsequent recordings!)

[skaedis]

I liked that man.Keep on playing

[HellbilliesLakafant]

Sounds great ;-)

[starskycork]

Holy shit dude. That is awesome. Sleep easy Jerry.

[Vanir875]

Can you play Jerry's version of Tennessee Stud?

[maurieer]

Sounds great.

5/5

[popdodl]

very well played! 5/5

[intune1234]

Great job! I once heard Eric Johnson do this tune on a Strat with his 3 piece group at light speed in a small club in Houston, it was amazing! Kudo's for working it up.

[Maryoftoday]

I play a fart flute

great job

[Zarunil]

Your parents must be proud.

[gadzooks63]

just looking around on ut and you came up. . . damn you are good . .there are so damn many like you . . by the thousands . .viva france . .

[alekssssssssssss]

Nicely done

[alekssssssssssss]

Nicely done

[OnionsMcGee]

Nicely done! Such a great instrumental song that was originally performed by, in many ways, an overlooked guitarist.

[joeninetyjoe]

Good stuff

[RichardKim06]

good job !!! Nice playing.

[tlamericanguitar]

Nice!!! Authentic Jerry Reed Style!

[rick13081]

any chance you can figure out lord, mr ford? i have tried... no luck.

[tvtodd]

Great Job! Where did you get the John Knowles transcription? I'd really like to get it.

[cast390]

Ok maybe not flawless but it was still good,great job

[cast390]

Its slower then the original but was x'cuted flawless great job

[ch4r10773]

I wandered into a pub in Manchester a few years ago and Jerry Donaghue was playing (Telecasting) .. cost me £1 to watch one of the finest pickers around (Seems he was a mate of the landlord and just called in) ... anyway... your playing is sweet as a nut mate :)

[knogatkins]

Thank you all for your comments. Indeed standart tunning.

[taylor61160]

Great job

This is one of the coolest guitar songs there is.

a lot of people play it way to fast and they lose the whole funky groove.

You did it just right.

Excellent work!

Keep on pickin

Thanks for the vid bro

[markie65]

How old are you boy? Do you sing Jerry's as well? that would be nice to hear too

[Harry44Callahan2]

You're doin' Jerry proud...pick that guitar son!

[augfive]

whats the tuning?

[taylor61160]

Standard tuning

[subidral]

Nice dude. Real clean. I wish I was that good. Well practice practice practice.

[nightstringer]

nice job man one of my favorites

[dnnykly]

Cool man.....

[jessupar]

given that this is the first time i've seen the left hand playing it... i think i'll put off learning it for a few months ;)

[REDNECKPEPI64]

really great technique!

five

[pencil10]

excellent

[Jebowski]

good timing, yeah man, keep it up

[schnouff29]

bien joué on sent que le grand henry le diset est passé par la ;-) j'espere un jour approcher ton niveau meme si j'en doute!! je galere a mort sur stars and stripes for ever . cedric

[ubernaffa]

Nice one dude. Even though your guitar has dimensions that make fingerstyle a little more difficult, you still did a nice job.

Well done.

[kenokid33]

Really really good. Ive listened to a lot of Jerry Reed renditions and you are one of the bests.

[hewyqo]

Not the version I know! The ending is way off. But, not bad at all...

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

do you know why everyone plays it differently?

[knogatkins]

Jerry Reed plays it in different ways himself!

[UtzChips2009]

@jimbojimbojimbojimbo search: pinofluvius the claw. The most professional version on youtube.

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

perfect!

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

great man just great love it !

[greatsteve59]

Hi ! do you have a tab for this tuned, it will be great

You have a good feeling

Thanks

[RussianMadMan]

he butchered it! IT was close though

[monkeymatt100]

how can you butcher a song but still be close?

[bammo1]

fantastic stuff fella,you heard jerry Donahue doing a version of it with the "behind nut bends"? what tuning you using there ?

[knogatkins]

thanks! Standart tuning (EADgbe) and the transcription is from John Knowles as played by Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins...

[andrewww9999]

Great. But would would really shine on steel strings.

[newriko2]

i've only heard it on nylon by both Jerry and on Marcel Dadi's DVD, but it would have more punch amplified. nevertless, NICE pickin'!
