How can words be used to send back what

that piece did to me? Tears. Thank you

[Newhomerambler]

Well I'm lost now. Was looking for something else, came across you, now I have no idea what I was looking for, and don't care. I only have 94 more of your videos to go!

[kuchikuro0328]

[MeTaLcOrE1616]

[pmwheatley]

Do you know where I can get tab for this or another arrangement?

[planetalk]

@pmwheatley .. I turned this into what I call a 'Master Lesson'. The link is in the info panel above.

[MrBycryss]

wonderful



[TomfromMuc08]

@pmwheatley : I bought it on the website of Ed Gerhard, the best arrangement (I think) and not difficult to play.

[xr1800yam]

Nice arrangement. Beautiful sound. Thanks.

[6eadgbe1]

niice!

[Juicefani11]

Does Ayers make archtops? In 2007 it made, but now i can't find them anywhere...

[LORDLOYE]

Bonsoir,

Vous serez vous possible de m'envoyer la partition ??

[destinywolf16]

love it :) This is the first song i ever played on piano(simple part). Its truly a beautiful song by itself and is made better by being played like this

[arizonastrip73]

I would love to trade all my college degrees to be a guitarist of this quality.

[kingfisherexperience]

What a beautiful and rich sound!... and a good hand :-)

[SerenityGlass]

BEAUTIFUL guitar - BEAUTIFUL playing. 

[jtjc23]

makes me want to quit playing the guitar!

[beeroosterm]

Lovely version of this song. I've stuck to Ed Gerhard's arrangement, which just kills me, but this is so pretty...I play it on a Taylor 910 and it comes out beautifully.

[Intactisin]

Marry me!

[greivisangel]

Great guitar and style.

[Orkide8]

love this melody:-)

[bigkajun67]

wow...what a monsterous sound coming from that guitar!! i had a 1949 Framus Guitar i used to play that had that kind of sound, but it was destroyed during hurricane katrina. id love to have an instrument that sounded that awesome...great playing, great song, on a great guitar..thanks for the wonderful sound of that guitar

[Intactisin]

You're Awesome!

[1listentomusic]

This is great. Wish you could teach me how to play it.

[rrphelps]

beautiful. I am planning a funeral and would very much like to use this song...

[soundssimple1]

Hi kirk, just wanted to comment on a real sweet song on a fantastic guitar, I have had an Ayers AS model for a couple of years now over here in Bonnie Scotland and it never fails to raise comment on the sound and projection, they are the

best kept secrets in acoustics anywhere, PS I still have your Planetalk package with book, sliderule and video from years ago, priceless lessons which helped me sort things out in my head, keep spreading the word.... Les

[pianoman9876]

your mic does a good job at picking up the bass. I find that missing from a lot of recordings. You are right that this instrument has good volume.

[lewisleeming]

Nice one! Thats a fantastic little guitar :)

[Lansdownekid]

Wow! that is a beautiful haunting ballad and exquisitely played Kirk! 5****

[MsJonnymac]

Hey brother, I love this song, have been looking for someone who plays it well to learn it from please keep posting. You have helped me get off a plateau I was jammed on much thanks from a lone voice out on the alberta prairie, I laughed when you point to the (a) I thought no kidding nice guitar...peace and music from Canada

[Lagusaya2]

beautiful ... love your guitar

[planetalk]

Thank you!

[morganash88]

Lovely tone ! for a parlour sized guitar that's impressive. 5 stars

[ma3kai3]

nice job，dude

where u get ayers guitar？

[silversr22]

Can someone tell me if this is an acoustic steel string or nylon string guitar?

[BigFatSandwich]

steel

[Sunambra]

In think they are steel strings just going by the pegs on the bridge.

[AlanSturgess]

The bridge is pegged, so it's steel strung. A good and affordable parlour guitar to look at is the LAG Summer GLA4S200PE. To hear it being played, search for this on Youtube ...

parlor guitar ,LAG french/chinese

[abiquinn]

Hey my names Abi and im 15.....please take a look at my version of the water is wide....thanks x

Kirk, that was beautiful, I have missed your playing,not enough good live music down in Aus. You are an inspiring blast from the past. I'll keep my radar on for more fine music from you.

[Musiciankdsc]

[hotchords]

Kirk, I love to listen to you play this song. I want to sing like you play, so laid back yet so rich in melody. Ahhhh......so sweet..

More, more, more. Say, do you have CD's with your playing like this song? I want em all.
