How to play You Stay Here by Richard Shindell

[TheKieranWm]

Good man Ben! I'll give this a whirl now - great song!

[Ugliest1uEVERsaw]

Thanks for sharing your talent. I've been practicing this all day!

[bereillyte]

Hey Ben! You've come along since playing in my garage!!

Terry

[benjsutt]

Hey, Terry!

haha, the garage seems like only yesterday! I see you're Trio-ing...Terry's Jazz Odyssey taking the Swiss by storm! Does the Les Paul see the light of day any more?

[1234animos]

Very nice!

It helped me a lot. But the rhytem is still difficult for me. But I won't give up.

Could you cover some more RS songs?

Did you see the video from RS on youtube 'Sitting on top of the world?'

A fantastic song to play, don't you think?

Can I dare you to play it?

I bet you can do it!

I'll keep waiting.....

[boomerkai]

I recently discovered this song and wanted to learn it and there you are teaching it! Well taught, well explained. Thanks much from across the pond.

[sonicbridgemusic]

Excellent instruction, still will be a challenge for me but at least I have a template to follow.  Love this song!

[1177rr]

Isn't this a Willy Porter tune?

[billr1000]

Very nice, Ben!

[Jay3039]

great....better than most postings of how to play songs

[NikitasGuitars]

thanks a million, ive wanted to learn this for so long and ive always been too lazy to figure it out haha. thank you thank you.

[Ugliest1uEVERsaw]

Thanks so much for doing this. You have done a great job and I'm so happy to know another Shindell Fan out there!

[rinty51]

thanks... very well done..

as a long time finger-style player, I was also impressed by what he did with a flat pick style.. 

now... show me "Wisteria" and I'll be a happy, albeit challenged, dude..

thanks again for posting...

[VonHobbit]

Well done! I've been trying to figure out that song for a loooong time! You sound great.

[1972ulisses]

Thank you. Good job mate.

[DontMessWithToxins]

Well done. this is a great aid. i wish it was available 2 years ago. Very nice. Be proud. you sound great.

(You don't by chance know the chords to Lazy do you? please please)

[jgodin312]

check out Willy Porter's version

[vicbev1234]

thanks ben i've been vewing this video for a bit and its a great tune i hope i can get it i was wondering if you would know the chords and the tuning to richards song hazel's house  thanks

[northernstar24]

This is very helpful, thanks! I completely agree about it sounding as though there are two guitars on the record - I saw RS in Camden last year and couldn't believe the sound he produced on his own.

[Bradzweb]

Excellent Ben, thanks for taking the time to show us this. I think RS would be impressed too!

On a technical note, what did you use to make this vid?, ie: camera/mic etc.

[benjsutt]

thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

i used my digital camera [panasonic fz-7] for the video and garageband for the audio, then sync'ing them together on garageband [hence the 4 percussive strikes at the start to line it all up visually with the video's original audio!]

ben.

[BelindaKyle]

BRILLIANT!! I can kind of fingerpick 'Fenario' but I know Richard is a demon with a flatpick. I'd love to see your interpretation. Thanks so much, you're a good teacher.

[caldecav]

Absolute genius - thanks so much! When Richard does it live, it is so mindblowingly good (& quick..), but now you have deconstructed it so expertly, you have given me hope... Thanks again!

[benjsutt]

hey! thanks very much for the comment - i'm looking at doing another for Fenario pretty soon if you're interested.

ben.

[japhy555]

Fenario would be awesome!! Please do!

This was great btw. Really enjoyed learning another song. Thanks a million.

[jgodin312]

Great picking- great song

[benjsutt]

thanks very much - it is an amazing song, i agree!
