Hey; it's pretty (absolutely) nice what you're doing on this guitar. I admire it, and I'd like to know whether you could make a tutorial of your great song. I's be so nice :)

Thanks (it's good to hear good vibes ^^

[Bensayhi94]

talent im learning guitar still playing for about a 2 years

[alfreeman250]

Adam that was wonderful. It is one of my favorites. I would love see more.

[dissonantcord]

Hi everyone. This is Adam. The tuning is DADGAC. Thanks for all of the kind words.

[kbnjcom]

What tuning is being used here? I get the sixth string is tuned down to D but not the other strings? Bravo on this effort - sounds fantastic. A link to the original would be appreciated as well.

[NylonStrungGirl]

I don't believe there is any footage of Billy playing this available to the public. Everything else you would want to know about this song can be found on the website listed in the description.

[kbnjcom]

Ok, I must be dense. I see (more info) but no video description, and when I look at the page for this YouTube channel, I still don't see a web site, neither do I find one via a Google on the name of this channel. Help me out here, please.

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

Are you just forgetting to click on the "more info" link?

[kbnjcom]

OK, I got it - thanks.

[jdand43230]

WOW! Incredible job learning this. Keep posting.

[pakhanuk]

Hi Adam & guys- I'm featuring this clip on my blog guitarbench I hope that's okay. If not, let me know and I'll take it off!

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

Not a problem, I'm sure Adam would be happy to hear this.

Is the tab of this version of the song the one that is sold at stropesdotcom? I purchased this song at iTunes and it is a totally different version, despite listing Billy McLaughlin as the artist.

[LAURIELARDNER]

yes

[roninshinta7]

actually, Billy does have a fingerstyle version of this song as well.

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

this is Billy's version of the song

[gothrulz2003]

hey man, great job! i'v been trying to learn this song by ear for a while now. But you should totally learn Billy's "The Good Wife!"

[Foley55]

Great job.
