Endless starz Bro

hugs

Di

[Cliffbrock]

Thank you very much. I love the blues and you are right about this is what it's all about. I love all the differnt styles of music on youtube from all over. Thanks again and it was a pleasure to be on Suze beautiful video. --:)Rod

[alphaba2]

I love the way this sounds. Did you ever do a video where you talk about how long you've been doing this? I know you come from a musical family. Your playing is like a sixth sense for you.

[Cliffbrock]

Hi , Thank you very much. No, I've never did a video about how long I've been playing. I started playing when I was about 3 years old riding on the back of my grandfathers cotton sack down in Reno, Arkansas. I had a ole plastic guitar and I started there. During those time everyone was too poor to have a baby sitter so it was off to the cotton fields. Thanks again, --:)Rod

[RailbirdPictures]

Yet another good song, and if you check out your Stats & Data, you'll see it has already been favorited three times! ~ Fer

[Cliffbrock]

Hi Fer, Thank you very much. I didn't know about the three fav. Thanks for letting me know. The computer is hard for me to get around on and I don't know how to check stats and data. I guess I'd better find out. "" I will try "" lol Thanks again,

 --:)Rod

[RailbirdPictures]

You think that is cool?! Go to your channel name on the upper right. See the drop down box? Go to My Videos. Now, click on the insight tab. It will show you soooooo much! Let me know if this works for you!

Fer

[Cliffbrock]

Hi Fer, WOW That is cool. Thanks for telling me about that. Once I got there I saw things I didn't even realize about stats, info other countries I didn't even know about. Thanks again,  --:)Rod

[senilitysux66]

Rod, once in a rare blue moon I find a real talent recommended by YT for me on my homepage and this is definitely one of those occassions. I absolutely love your 'country style' of picking and this is a really great sounding composition. I'm a big blues fan and love delta. Also, though I never learned to play worth a darn myself, the guitar has always been my favorite instrument to listen to. Already took a quick peek at your channel and cutting this short... You have a new fan & sub.

Mattie

[Cliffbrock]

Hi Mattie, It is certainly a pleasure to meet you and have you sub my channel. I certainly hope you find some songs you enjoy. You are certainly welcome to my channel.

I'm just a country boy born in Arkansas. My family is from the hills of Alabama and Arkansas.  Peace and blessing to you, --:)Rod

SongwriterEricJohn -Agreed Eric ,5 stars

[Cliffbrock]

Well thank you very much ! --:)Rod

[Cliffbrock]

Thank you very much Eric, I used ( Open E ) tuning for this song. I don't believe they use Open E for too many slide songs but I thought it fit so I uses it. This ole guitar is my third line guitar but I like the deeper sound it has.

 Thanks again bro' --:)Rod

[losthills]

Real as the day is long, my friend...

[Cliffbrock]

Hey Lost ! Thank you very much bro' I'm kind of like you. I use very little extra sound or help . The sound I play is what prople hear. At some point I hope to put this song with a video of a truck going down an ole dirt road kinging up dust. Thanks again man, --:)Rod

[suuzzee5]

Rod, that's an awesome song!!! You sure do play a great blues slide there...and the changes throughout the song are amazing. Altogether I'd say about 20 stars for you ... :) What tuning is that?

[Cliffbrock]

Hi Suze, Thank you very much ! That tuning is ( Open E ). I have extra light strings for this tuning. Thanks for all the stars and great comments. --:)Rod

[canajian]
