[branjobu96]

Oh my, This is the kind of music i want to hear all day long! :)

Im 14, and started to play an Accoustic. And I have NO experience in guitar.. But quite eager to learn!

So, what's your advice?

[drumsforbums10]

the first half sounds very Mark Tremonti-ish in style. Reminds me of the acoustic stuff that Jethro Tull did. I dig it.

[metallica1310]

hi. i've now earned it. i is dadgad and i've pretty much learned it

[metallica1310]

hi. awesomevideo and awesome playing. i've favorited this video as i'm determined to learn it by ear lol. i've found out hatthe 3 low strings are dad and the b string is tuned down to a. do u know what tuning that might be? i've got the first part down as it's only on the first three strings

[petemalins]

Thanks so much for your encouragement - I'm glad you like it. I think it might be DADGAD tuning (sorry I haven't played it for a while). Have fun working it out! Sorry I never tab stuff out coz I work most things out by ear, and it takes too much time to write it all down. It's good ear training too ;-)

[aragon667]

[tharptown]

It actually becomes extremely easy after tuning to dadgad. That changed a lot :P

[Arrested101]

[godisthegr81]

hey dude im a vocalist nd i have the perfect lyrics for this........excellent.......ex­tremely excellent....keepup the good werk dude

[petemalins]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't tabbed it out coz I pretty much made it up on the spot as I was jamming around one night and messing around with some ideas in different tunings. So here's a challenge for you - try to work it out by ear without tabs. That's how I've worked out lots of guitar solos and pieces. Good luck and have fun!

[tharptown]

@petemalins I just saw it and I'm starting to work it out a bit. It seems you're in drop D. Is that correct? Are there any other tuning changes?

[sivmeister]

@thatptown

I'm pretty sure he's in "Open D" tuning. I tune it to DADF#AD but I know some people prefer a slight variation and go with DADGAD instead. I'm fair certain that the F# is the true open D as that's a straight D major chord if everything is open.

[sivmeister]

Just played around with it and I'm fair certain he's in DADGAD :)

[Marwellplayer]

hey please give me the tabs for this its very cool :)

[mbeenon]

give me the tabs for that man

[singtotheking]

Hey man!  Awesome!

If you haven't already, you should think about recording this!

[MrLucky923]

very cool!!

[draigo69]

dude what tuning was that, sounded like you just lowered your bass E to a D or was it dadgad ?,,nice playing mate

[meskintos]

Oh... my... God!!! Did you really compose this by yourself? This is more than just beautiful! I almost cried! Believe it or not, but I actually joined in 'youtube' right now just to post a comment on this! I knew you were good at music but now I know you are truely gifted in. Two thumbs up. Really. (By the way, can you recognise me who I am? ^_^)

[nirvanija]

Liked it verry much!!!

[petemalins]

Thanks very much! My main acoustic influence is Tommy Emmanuel, a brilliant Australian guitarist

[7772121]

absolutely beautiful

[SUNNYD3322]

Very nice. Good try!

[shamrocks89mink]

great vid are u in dadgad tuning?

[Vikinmonstgdot]

hey dude this is pretty sweet guitar work i must say i am impressed , you should poat the tabs or say what it is your playing

[petemalins]

Thanks so much! That's the most encouraging comment I've ever received! So you like Tommy Emmanuel too? He's an incredible guitarist!

[johnnie2cool]

dude....that friggin rocked (:<

[petemalins]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your encouragement. Your songs are cool too - very nice.

[nige2410]

really nice - is your guitar maton ? if so what model ? thanks thinking of grtting one..

[petemalins]

Thanks! Yes my guitar's a Maton EBG808L. It's a smaller body "figure 8" shape guitar with a really sweet tone. Tommy Emmanuel uses his own custom version of this guitar often these days. They are especially great for fingerstyle guitar, as you get really clear mid and high notes from them. However, the bass response is much less. But all over a great guitar!
