Earl Klugh - This Time

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

Does anyone know if there's a commercially-available transcription of this wonderful ballad available? I would love to learn it. This is one of the most beautiful nylon string guitar performances I have yet heard. Absolutely lovely.

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

@GeorgiaBoy1961: Got so caught up in this performance, I lost my ability to write a coherent sentence... sorry about that!

[Dzonrid]

Great playing! Perfect execution, nice dynamics, a class act.

[fredstuckmann]

Really a joy to listen to. There is a very nice version Earl does of this song

with Al Jarreau doing a great job on the vocals. Well worth a listen.

[carbonbodyworker]

Just wonderfull,thank you earl

[TheMasonguitars]

Reminds me of Christmas snuggling with that special someone.

[gmannin]

i wish I had .000000% of the talent that this man has - simply spellbinding. Thank you

[andreben3000]

song was played in "trees by tuliatos" commercial in memphis, Tn back in the day

[gbieg]

Earl is my all time favorite. Met him several times, a real gentleman...

[ghendric]

I've always been a fan of Earl Klugh. He's an awesome guitar player!

[malvolio50]

Smoooooooooooooooooothhhhhhhh

[Loyangvalley]

thank you Earl.......beautiful in so many words....

[terrinakamura]

Wonderful

[gbieg]

Earl's my favorite of ALL time, and a great guy, I've met him several times.

[gmannin]

possibly one of the most beautiful renditions I have ever have the pleasure of listing to.

[misse751]

This reminds me of someone I lost,he loved Earl Klugh and this one of the last Earl Klugh songs I ever heard him play.Rip biggie.

[fredstuckmann]

I've seen him live, awesome performance.

[Bluehill29]

I've been listening to song this so much recently.

[dambrosemax]

I remember playing this tape when it was a tape, to ease into my restful afternoon. No worries back then, that I could think of. :- ) Thank you Earl, for taking me back.

[ismite2]

perfect for love.

[GamerGaston]

After watching this video, I'm never playing guitar again.

[TheWHEELS1952]

A Master of the guitar with the touch of an Angel.

[leynnytokanaky]

J'adore cette belle et douce mélodie!!! eeh wi c le grand Earl Klugh !!!!! je ne me lasserai jamais de l ' écouter jouer !!!! ces mélodies m'inspirent beaucoup!!!!!!

[rejected1327]

all the guitarist should be like this not like the hard metal rock or watever

[fngrpkn06]

This is waht music was meant to do to your soul. Playing something so beautiful. Proves all the guitar tapping, spped and pounding out notes is not necessary.

[maiaganda6242]

you're really sOooo amazing. Earl Klugh.. ♥

[sfcsrp]

w0w...... Speechless

[dannpenn]

beaufiful !!beautiful!!always beautiful!! what else!

[newislandguitar]

The greatest nylon string player in History regardless of genre-12 Grammy nominations proves it ;)

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

This is so damn GREAT!!!!!!

[ibexy]

i want to play like this!

[92Flynnbob]

7 people are musical retards

[SkittleLamp]

My mother took me to an Al Jarreau concert earlier today, and this guy came on half way through and played this song while Al sang. It was the most beautiful thing I've heard in my life, I cried all of the way through it. Damn.

[GigglingGirI]

That looks easy i could do that !!!

[MrBar2lo]

This kind of music is I love most ...

[Samuelfcampbell2003]

Great Guitar and Great Music!:*)

[ninnikureizu]

アール

最高です！

[goooooable]

its a wonderful thing u-tube to be able to come home-tired and be refreshed by this lovely sound

[quagdude]

this gives me a boost of inspiration :)

[chuckbuckbobuck]

Boy, it is hard to believe but I saw him in concert at San Diego Stat University almost 30 years to the day--I believe it was June 14, 1981. My how time flies. Unfortunately, it has flown very well for me.

[santana31000]

I LOVE THE SMOOTHNESS OF HIS MUSIC. JUST AWESOME!

[insain1usain]

wow my heart just got butterflys what are feeling and from a genius and his guitar. if you get sick of todays music listen to this and you will be saved.!!!

[paulassamoi]

[bandogoldtrio]

Brilliant

[ayokkf]

jebz !...gitar sorangan aja bisa kayak gini

[blueearthgirl]

Always loved this song xo

[1954phialin]

YEYYY!

[JamKar1]

Guitar talent is pretty deep historically , but this guy is right up there.

[richardaixanatanya]

I allways listened to that tune sang by Al Jarreau but didn't know that Earl Klugh played it.

Did he write it ?

Just a masterpiece.Thanks for posting.

[Elemy69]

what's the quickest way to learn how to play this ? I have no Klugh !

[JonP1961]

@Elemy69

same answer as the taxi driver gives when asked "how do you get to Carnegie Hall?"

;)

[AmirBakari]

I can't stop playing this. Beautiful. Earl is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

[WDux]

the man is a total inspiration.

[connvee3]

Pure

[antswork2000]

aaaaawwwwssssssooooomeeee.....­....

[osule11]

POWER TRACK !!!!!!

[Hanzi63]

Earcandy !

[SuperAmeda]

God bless you Earl for blessing us with this tune

[wrane2]

Really fine i had forgotten thes wonderfull music. Ivan rane

[gmannin]

SWEEEET



[DaStr8Truth]

@Andrewcis: Why bring race into something so peaceful and beautiful? There are some white ppl who can play just as well and when you close your eyes to listen it really does not matter what the color is. People are ppl and clearly GOD is not racist because he gave gifts and talent to all ppl. I have learned to give all ppl the benefit of the doubt until they give me reason to see them otherwise. Please try to be fair minded and just in your thinking. Boney James is excellent and so is Kenny G.

[equinoxdbz]

This song can lift those spirits of the most down hearted people.

Nuff said.

[712musicman]

This is so pretty !! Klugh was highly endorsed by the late great CHET ATKINS, and is a wonderful player to say the least !! His music really is a healing for our minds & souls ! I was given a Christmas present a few years back, and it was an EARL KLUGH cassette tape.I was not familiar at that time with Mr. KLUGH, but fell instantly in love with his warm,rich,& pleasing tone ! When I saw him on a CHET special on T V ,he was so genuine and a real gentleman !! He's still my teacher ! GOD BLESS

[Jpkrao]

Terrific song by Earl Klugh! It reminds me my terrific college years!

[maluku26]

this song reminds me to THE love of my parents.

mom & dad R.I.P

[Hoopermazing]

@maluku26 You choked me up with that one... and I'm as hard as a railroad spike.

[zeinqyu]

oh my God, this song seem like spiritual healing for me

[selimsucram]

Earl Klugh is a gift to the world.

[zzzzxxxx341]

COOL JAZZ

[chlofene]

I love this mans's playing for years .. amazing .. just amazing

[Hydrefyricon]

Earl, thank you for the beautiful playing...made my day better.

[egemaster66]

WOWZOE!!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!

[mrgezau]

absolute classic...

[naicisumeht]

anyone know anything about this tunes history?

did Klugh write it? if not, who did?

did he record it on an album? if so, which one?

Thanks

[RootsinBrooklyn]

There's a singing quality that Earl achieves in his guitar playing that is, I think, somewhat unique. Magic touch!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[lexigan]

One of my favorite acoustic guitar player.

[sbstnpofadder]

GOD GIFTED...

[Andrewcis]

this is how u play the guitar for all u white folks who try to

[ColdGripHandle]

@Andrewcis u didn't have to say that c'mon man

[yumyum97]

@Andrewcis there's too much racist comments on the net. stop about the color, are you depressed ?

[RootsinBrooklyn]

@Andrewcis

Now why would someone say something so ridiculous? ...as if there were no great guitar players that happen to be white. I always find remarks such as yours puzzling. Does your statement imply that this video clip is somehow only for whites, and not for black folks that “try to” play? Maybe you believe that there are no black people trying to play guitar? Or, perhaps you believe that Earl’s race somehow magically enabled him to play. Way to rule out the years of dedication/devotion.

[StevieHendrix92]

@Andrewcis way to undermine the years of dedication he's put into his passion. Idiot.

[Jdizz99]

@Andrewcis Earl is humble, nobody would care if he was bright pink. Listen to the music moron.

[DocHackenbush]

You haven't won a washing machine but I wanted to let you know that I randomly threw my hand on the keyboard at Google and it was "Klugh" what accidently went through the engine. And so I found your video. What are the odds, what do you think?

And by the way, very nice song!

[harsakh]

the sound so subtle and so enchantingly rapturous

[joefalchetto]

What is in your opinion, the best album of Earl Klugh?

Thank you, bye! :)

[myblueroad]

Sweetness

[nellie2581]

Geat

[gueldaswing]

Woaw... I'm wondering how I could have lived without knowing this guy. So much beauty and peacefulness, really heart-touching music !

[agungferdi]

I am feeling "Rest in Peace.........." great song and great player.....Earl

[57bigjoe]

This guy has more talent than all rappers put together!

[juggahnic]

@57bigjoe must be tough to live life so negatively that you can't compliment Earl's ability, so you try to pass off an ignorant comment as a compliment instead.

[57bigjoe]

@juggahnic Lets take it another step.If were to ask him what his thoughts on todays rap music and its effect on todays youth he would probably say (and of course im just speculating)Im very disgusted and appalled with the lack of intelligence these rappers have represented themselves with!

[57bigjoe]

@juggahnic Im putting earl on a pedestle at the same time im mocking the no talents!

[lmcclai4]

Smooth melody, that's what Earl means to me.

[metalista13]

Very nice... love it! it feels good to hear songs like these... : )

[movingheart]

No one can copy Earl Klugh's style to perfection. He is excellently unique!

[movingheart]

Indeed! The music of Earl Klugh is timeless. I will live through generations...

[SusannaBearfoot]

used to listen to this guy all the time.  glad I refound him here. Thanks!

[SuperFunky12345]

woohooh. thnx for posting this video. great performance!

[8Footdread]

awesome post mouldytone - lovely again Earl...yes you are 'da man'

[iadmike]

[Speer82]

Reminds me there is a God when life starts treating you rough. Thank You Earl.

[michel1835]

this man is a milestone in himself , thank you

[ArlynV6938]

One of my favorite ones. I love you, Earl Klugh!!

Thanks Mouldytone!!!

[Mouldytone]

@ArlynV6938 Cheers mate. It is wonderful isn`t it!

Tony

[cjrs1976]

@Mouldytone 

[dudleysaun]

@ArlynV6938

[dudleysaun]

@dudleysaun

Earl Klugh wrote this song and released it on an album entitled "Finger Paintings" around 76'.  The entire album is fantastic!

[mychalsimonz]

@ArlynV6938 don't you just love love love this?

[winterover79]

I was lucky enough to see him live , performing with Bob James . He's great!

[anye76]

bought tears to my eyes, simply beautiful

[Boblw56]

wow

[timurnzkiwi]

Can you believe its just one guitar?

[domieboy1987]

There is only one thing I can do when i see him play this song.. just smile!! Beautiful!!!

[enfa76]

Belíssimo! a música é encantadora

[alonill1]

Breathless, this is IT. 4ever my best Earl of all time. feel the HARMONY IN BETWEEN THE NOTES. Worthless!!!!!

[docswan1]

I went to high school with Earl. He was a genius then and remains so. Go ahead!

[gmannin]

Like most of Earl's music this track has a major problem - its just not long enough! Pure genius!

[CaptJamesTKurk]

"EZ EARL"....cause he makes it look so EZ!...He was one of inspirations when I started playing the gitbox..keep jamming braddah!

[kikigboys]

this is music!!!thanks earl!!

[josesmark]

the best among the most... my nerves is dancing..

[TheStringman06]

He is the Best

[1990Olloccin]

THIS TIME,walang oras na lumilipas pag andiyan ka.

[joechris101]

My favorite player ...

[AntonyDundee]

Great song!

For Z (CraZi)

[UrbanCOwBoy32]

im on the same boat as 1990Olloccin this is a beautiful piece of music to not learn. does anyone know where I could find this?

[jonieheffner]

@UrbanCOwBoy32 ... at least for me, finding notation on him has been difficult. I have seen one published composition and i think it was midnight in san juan or

angela.....early work, it was listed in a book of many others.....you might be able to nail it down on sheet music plus.. you could let me know what

you find....if you want to.

[1990Olloccin]

i cannot find a guitar tab for this song,can someone help me,

[ArlynV6938]

I love Earl Klugh!!! From the first time I heard him!!!And this is one of my favorite tunes!

[elybakod]

i first heard of ealr klugh in 1979. liked his music ever since.

[carsten4mary]

THIS TIME......I won't make mistake, I have done alot before. It reminds me of you, I learned how to play safe so I won't get hurt but so sad that you broke my heart...JEG ELSKER DIG

[bigscaryboat]

hvorfor?

[skyehawk1]

I just love Earl. Ive been listening to him since early 80s. My finger painting tape has only just worn out.. and thats over 25years old. Talented, under marketed. Glad to see you have a website up and running. Magic fingers.

[whangarurujazz]

[Rezbaker]

I wish I can play like these musicians...

I don't care what type of instrument as long as I can play a musical relaxing song.

I may be listening to some other chaotic type of song, but songs like these at the end of a very terrible day just makes life float like a feather.

[Somethingpower]

What a captivating and heart-filled performance. Genius.

[suzgalawa]

Amazing musician and he's just so darn cute! Love the little wink at the very end of this video - so sweet!

[popgrubbs]

Textures and imagery are wonderful.  Yes, takes me to a very good place.

[klassworksmusic]

Some songs/musicians take you to special, good places.  Earl does this for me. Thanks for sharing.

[JoeyGirsang]

i like it

[LAPUbutsekikMAG]

Earl Klugh,

Thank You, Whether you know it or not, You have touched/INSPIRED so many lives as well as dedicated Guitar Players trying to copy your Style = Relaxed, Cool, Polyphonic and UPLIFTING.

Thank You!..

[roperdoper]

Classical guitars have a mix of steel strings for the first two or three, and nylon or softer material for the last three (or four). They are spaced apart further than typical acoustic guitar strings to accommodate fingerpicking guitar styles, which require a little bit of room to navigate the neck of the guitar. -just fyi-

[nonpareil2003]

All the the strings are made of nylon. Its just that base strings have steel wound around the nylon core.

[smoothJAZZCRUSADER]

♪♪♪ simply amazing! Happy Birthday Earl!

[xamehc]

I can hear the patience in his song. He truly is at peace & ONE with his instrument, I'm sure that with such a power he could, if he wanted to, part the seas with an effortless tune.

This man is a great giver of himself & is without fear, Thank you Earl.

[OREGONBEKKI]

Yes, and I bet he plays his guitar everyday because he WANTS to. I know Nokie Edwards of the Ventures and he plays everyday-he will actually be so comfortable, he will sometimes late at night fall asleep playing the guitar-to men like Earl & Nokie playing music is like breathing-they need it and will gladly play for anybody at anytime, they get as much pleasure from playing as we derive from listening. I would hate to live in a world without music!

[sajovb]

I really wish I could see him perform live, Love your playing and I will watch your videos over and over...

[Temitope2007]

Damn! he is playing 8 string guitar! Earl klugh love him since I was 15 yrs. The best ave seen on Guitar

[iykist]

How did you manage to count 8, i counted 6

[Slider388]

uh no, thats a 6 string.

[tewhere1]

i just love this man,and have done since i heard "dance with me" in 82 or 83..and wen i bort the collaberation in the mid 80z wif george benson i wld listen to nuffn else cept 4atlantic star,haywood,star point,midnight star,etc. etc.all ma soundz from 79 to 85,,

[bryngOneOn]

strap a big bass drum to his back and stick a kazzoo in his mouth and the boy will go far

[giantkiller56]

He performed this song in Detroit last week. I had no idea it had lyrics. It added to the brilliance of it.

EK is a blessing to smooth jazz!

[sekuelcio]

Woooooooooooow. Que lindo vei. Coisa maravilhosa. Violão divino. que limpo!!

[feverhood]

cool when you sit near fire with friends, play guitar and drink beer and 120% chill.

[futsal1958]

If you cut this song it would bleed!

[jonieheffner]

@futsal1958 ...totally.

[yairoka]

@futsal1958 fuck you, just because he's black

[futsal1958]

@yairoka It's a compliment, man. Calm down.

[oaknapped]

wow...amazing

[bnrbbluvmuzik]

Love this song - just beautiful.
