[humpmastajoe16]

hey jeff. I am starting to experiment with open tunings. can you give me a list of some that you use?

[capo420420]

I use Open C a lot. I also use an A# Tuning.

There is a FREE GUITAR TUNER on my website with just about every tuning known to man.

Check that out and experiment to find which tuning suits you.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Jeff

thanks for your interest in the music and your compliment ..

YOU ROCK ..

[ephixius]

Did you plan on the crazy time signatures in this song or were you just jamming and stumbled on it? Nevertheless, great!

[capo420420]

haha you ROCK for noticing the time signatures. :)

No i never plan them. i just play what i feel.

I often count the time afterwards ..

IF you want to hear an even CRAZIER time signature, check out AS THIS DAY BEGINS on my website in the music tab ..

I LOVE that song .. and the timing is a REAL KILLER .. haha

enjoy .. and thanks again .. jeff

[belrock1]

amazin yet again

[JoshuaGagle]

[Uniformert]

GREAT!!!

[6ixstringed]

Hey Jeff, very cool song! Inspires me a lot, and the martial arts videos in between really fit, and I happen to be a fan. I'll be watching your channel from now on!

[capo420420]

6ixstringed .. thanks .. its funny how this came together .. there was no concept for the video .. and the song didn't even have a title till after i recorded it ..

The shirt i'm wearing has a cool "swordsman" on the back of it. ** it was supposed to be the icon for the video but didn't work. you can see it in the center frame of the video. After it was titled , we decided it was such a cool song & title we decided to try adding video footage .. so the whole thing just evolved .. it was fun

[lalapo88]

tai tai tai tai tai ????

salu2

[rickdav79]

surely jeff, into top ten best guitarrist on yt.

[kenkmusic]

hey jeff... thanks for the 5 stars on my video 'Gee Whiz' and for recommending this one. Very nice work. Of course I like the 'over the top' of the neck playing... sweetly done.

peace,

ken k

[CesarFornesBerlanga]

Very good Jeff 5 *********************

[eternita43]

MAJESTUOSO !!! GRACIAS

[ShinedownDog]

*SPEECHLESS* to brilliant for words. amazing

[emifolk]

great vid you make me dizzy keep it up

[delboy1978uk]

wow that (again) was amazing!

my pal andy will totally love you!

i'm gonna email him right now!

[FuryMuso]

brilliant interpretation to the swordsman video footage. Very nice.

[capo420420]

haha .. thanks .. and .. funny story .. the song didn't have a title .. the title came from the swordsman on the shirt i was wearing at the time of recording .. the ACTUAL swordsmen were added later in the editing process .. i was just super lucky to find the perfect footage and have a few friends who were great editors .. you should also check out the RonTV channel and see his version of this video.

thanks again .. jeff

[lonewolfshogun]

thats the ''18 arms wushu style swordplay'' and awesome guitar jam-bluesy but dark as well

[capo420420]

lonewolfshogun .. THANKS for that info ..

what a HALARIOUS coincidence too ..

does it sound like i have 18 arms to play the guitar ? hahaha ..

its probably a good thing i don't ..

i could put someone's eye out .. maybe even my own eye haha

jeff

[lonewolfshogun]

he-he

[mindfulmusic78]

Hell of a video man!!!!!

[ztlanc]

[ZiggyTubeYou]

Hey Jeff, enjoying your videos including this one. If you ever want me play any of your stuff on my Net Radio Station, let me know.

[orpheusmaximo]

Great fingerstyle big guy, great tone! Which pick - up You're using?

[mateusmoitinho]

thank you for subscribing. I'm honored to have a great guitarist subscribe to my vids. Amazing song btw. Do you have sheet music or tabs?

[capo420420]

Yeah i want too make at least one or 2 of my songs available as a tab / or video tab / instructional

i've been trying to figure out which song of mine is the "easiest" haha .. that in itself isn't very easy ..

mostly because i don't know how to tab some of the right hand things ??? tapping or special struming techniques.

many of my songs use a combination of a flamenco rasgueado and a thumb thump at the end. how would i write THAT ? haha

I'm thinking "Flight of the blue butterfly" first

jeff

[50LACE]

[wayslinn]

[richagen]

sounds good..interesting looking guitar..what is the story behind it.?

[capo420420]

eh .. its a long story .. i've mentioned it before in the comments. the short version is .. an electric guitar my deceased wife bought me was stolen. i QUIT playing guitar i was so heartbroken .. the ONLY way i can play is acoustic now. i bought this guitar for $50 at a pawn show PAINTED crackled black !! i refinished it myself added electronics a few other modifications ..

[GibsonHummingbird]

Jeff the fingers from now on. Beautiful.

[1959vicent]

[sixbensons]

Hey! the Wayves from Cary NC think your great! Love the chinese guy too! Here's one of our newest originals. Would love some feedback!

the Wayves

[zartseri]

I like your unique playing style, keep it up!

[Svetlailieva]

Cool video! Unbelievable guitar playing wow!

[alex59390]

the song fits very good with the swordsman :) nice!

[LightGoddess18]

Awesome job on this song. I like how halfway through the song you switched where you hand was and played on top of the strings! I still have lots to learn. p.s. I love the guitar you used in it as well. Very creative.

[100Roy001]

Cool guitar and a cool song!

[vancityvillian]

that was frickin cool man , i think i need to start learning to finger pick. great job keep it up

[LeaningBear]

distracting video, nice guitar work.

[council1971]

wow. you've earned a fan. Great work.

[ANGIE891]

this is amazing- u rock!!!!

[Ergothefirst]

You're freaking awesome =D

[nirvanafanjonny17]

this is sweet man love the style!!

[JVCOSIN]

Yes, this music makes me imagine a warrior,before the fight. The tension flows all over the notes. Amazing

[capo420420]

JVCOSIN .. thanks .. yeah this is one of my "harder" songs to play .. its easy for ones OWN FINGERS to get in the way .. and there is so little room for error .. so it seemed to fit the title haha .. its a great song to play though .. i FEEL the energy swordsman when i play it :) .. BTW i'm a fairly decent swordsman myself ;) i may remake this with ME as the swordsman if i have time .. haha now where the heck did i put that sharp pointy thing haha ..

[NiklasTwilling]

damn nice mate :D

[Nynke21]

damz.. you really really great!!!!!!!!!!! wauw..

[dalung]

Again buff skills. Interesting adding the dao too. The wolf looks buff by the way.

[capo420420]

hehe thanks .. you'll like .. daily-tao DOT com ..

and eh .. thats a Tiger jumping through a Yin Yang ..

right after eating a wolf .. haha .. kidding .. i love wolfs too :)

[dalung]

oh yeah i didn't look closely hah

hey i really should get an acoustic one day

i've only ever played one once in my life hah

which was on that lame shite quality video

[themetalphish]

Very flowy and haunting.

[kipling7575]

[KarenEng]

Cool Stuff, Thanks!!!

[nrm333]

pretty amazing stuff man.

i never had much guitar natural talent..

awesome stuff man.

i can play slide on my lap sometimes after alot of whiskey. but mostly im a written word guy.

you live in texas? give me some dam lessons. ha.

play some blind willie johnson man!

cheers.

[capo420420]

yeah i'm gonna make an instructional DVD .. i'm writing out the script now .. but i want it to be THE MOST complete "philosopy of guitar" possible .. the foundation from which a person lauches the learning experience is so important along with a good practice protocol ... the best guitar teacher you could hope for is YOU .. i'll teach you how to be your own teacher .. :)

[songsbymikedotnet]

ok, so i watched again. i think it was just a few of the cutaways that bothered me...most of them were pretty cool... great job, dude!

[songsbymikedotnet]

again, supercool music. not sure i like all the cutaways (so to speak! HA!)...some worked, the second to last one w/ the freeze frame was cool...but other times, i just wanted to stare at your fingers...however strange that sounds... ;)

[capo420420]

haha .. yeah .. i just did this editing for fun .. i have a LOT of "watch my fingers" videos haha .. so you can have that need fullfilled haha ... thanks for the awesome compliement .. your friend jeff ..

PS .. i'm shooting mostly fingers from now on .. hehe ..

[guitarinthenature]

Psicodelic and nice

[SGspoonmanCC67]

woah that was awesome

[SirPalomid]

Awesome! Hope someday I would play something like this one :))
