Acoustic Guitar Fingerpicking - Broken Fingers - Matthew McGhee

[Gr8Avenger4ce]

you should do a music video.

it will be interesting.

[MegaSupermoe]

I can't play guitar, because my forefinger is broken :(

[davidmalakian17]

all the songs, make up your?

[CombatNinjaz1177]

TABS PWEASEEE

[StupidHatMatt]

@CombatNinjaz1177 I'm working on it :)

[1L1K3MY8A55L0W]

@StupidHatMatt this may be a stupid question but how for free?

[StupidHatMatt]

@1L1K3MY8A55L0W Good question. For two years I gave my music away for free but now I am in a position where I have to try and make money off of it. So yeah, it's only free if you got it before I started selling.

[StupidHatMatt]

All of songs are now available on iTunes. Money is tight now and I hope You guys understand why I have to try and make some money on my music. Thanks again for all of the support :)

[greenbeaner69]

@StupidHatMatt so we can hear it on the go and u can make money! sounds reasonable enough to me haha

[xdrumpotdanx]

boos tune

[redxile666]

Any thought to tabbing this one out? I know that the majority of your guitar-playing fans would greatly appreciate it, me included!

[StupidHatMatt]

@redxile666 It will be up there soon :)

[alzonfire]

Has anyone eve told you how talented you are?

[StupidHatMatt]

@alzonfire Haha, thank you my friend

[lightbowden]

this is beautiful, i wanna play like this when i get good. any advice?....

[StupidHatMatt]

@lightbowden Only thing I can say is practice whenever you can and keep writing original songs even if you don't like them to start out with

[averyloudsilence]

i love your work man :D if you ever need a vocalist im down

[albertos95adsr]

whoa amazing song. your name is like andy mckee if you don´t know him hear him i think you´ll like it. nice song. thumbs up :D

[11dancewme]

slick shit sir string king

[AxelRhal]

just beautiful. and i agree, put out a cd. yes we can have it for free, but at this point i feel i owe you for putting this into the world. you are a true artist. you arent a sellout, and i greatly respect that.

[furzala]

so much talent man. Never seen anyone more talented than you. Make it out big and get an album man. You've got another supporter with you all the way :D

[KeelHeelAble]

ive never seen a better acoustic guitar player..... its so crazy how u can play this stuff

u know dam right what music is

[chay2510]

yup you shall now be put with my music <3 amazing

[kgeorge12341]

Great playing and very nice sound. Are you have with the Taylor 810ce, comparing it to other taylors or other guitars at a similar price range what is your opinion? If possinle can you comment the es.

[screamingtaco23]

i love all your music and i just subscribed to you, but i was wondering why are all your songs free? wouldnt a little money be nice? and this is the kind of music that is worth buying. id buy it. its not like all this sissy rap people play on the radio nowadays; this is real music!

[robostomo1]

you sir, need to sign with candyrat

[MANtheHELLup]

Hey matt, any chance of uploading some tab for this one for your website man., would be much appreciated. x :D

[xXxjust4lulzxXx]

Nice work i wish i could do finger style acoustic like you, ive tried to learn it but I'm just more of a speed picker I guess, (sigh)

[Chr0meBlade]

every bit of your music is extremely touching.

[Hyperdiaper823]

This is absolutely amazing.. sounds SO good.

[JoeyTheActor]

Any plans for a Power Tab or general tab for this? Want to learn it for someone I want to impress... :)

[FIREBALLFREAKS4]

Do you have tablature for this id love to learn how to play this

[Smooman21]

It is so refreshing to see a guitarist so talented and passionate who declines to sign with a label. You are truly a humble genius and you can tell by the soul you extrude from your guitar, that this is about the music. Awesome song

[TheChaosRune]

Hmm, this sounds pretty good, i might learn it ;D

[ImaPirate83]

This is one of the best songs i've ever heard. I'm quite jealous of your skill with acoustic guitar; this song is a good showcase of the depth and richness you can achieve with an acoustic in the right hands. There's so much more to guitar than many people utilize...i strive to write a song like this.

[keg64]

great guitar playing nice sound

[2minutestomammoth]

@StupidHatMatt "Why buy when you can have all my music for free?!" I appreciate your generosity, and your skills as well, you are truly an awesome guitarist/musician. I love your stuff, and I wish I could play nearly as well as you. "Why buy?" because I think you deserve it. Keep up the great work!

[untamedsoul0]

@StupidHatMatt Because then we can support good artists ;P

[izzy55556]

@StupidHatMatt so we dont have to come to youtube to listen!!! I'd buy even if i knew i could hear for free, we musicans must stick together and help each other out! :D

[SpartanWing11]

Were can I find ALL of your music Id love to listen to the artwork all the time! any tips would be fantastic on ways to buy and or download

[HeWearNoShoeshine]

Veeeer Niiiice

[slugnutty21]

Sounds great. Is that a Taylor 810cd?

[Jamieakamusekid]

ahh i love your acoustic stuff man!

[MrSebastian119]

wow this song is increible very good job

[jrelyea]

Very nice song.

[KofataDown]

This song is just brilliant!Genious!Awesome...Oh ffs... who am i kidding?This song cant be described!Really!

[StupidHatMatt]

@KofataDown haha, you are way too kind!

[TheLenwei]

Deine Songs sind einfach der Wahnsinn-kann garnicht mehr aufhören sie zu hören! Du spielst mit Herz und Seele-ich Liebe Deine Songs

[Fingerbang6969]

You've released more than enough songs to make an album. You should definitely get make one. I'd buy it for everyone I know to make a late christmas present to spread the joy of your music!

[guitardude20]

Beautiful pro playing!!

[effrainm]

[BattyDevin1]

did u name it broken fingers cuz u broke ur fingers in the process of making the song due to the extreme playing?

[lilmetalhead17]

:0......just as I thought I was getting good at guitar...another inspiration

[Dylanhennessy]

This is my favorite song of yours so far I think. I do the same sort of thing. So from one fingerstyler to another, Awesome dude. Just awesome. :)

[StupidHatMatt]

@Dylanhennessy thanks man, i don't do it much anymore but I occassionaly go back and watch my acoustic videos. it's like looking through a picture scrap book.

[PRINCIP3AZZURRO]

[TheAsclepius]

Awesome song man, I love the deep richness from the C# tuning... Keep it up!

[UYD4eva]

holy shit oO .it's sooo amazing!!

.music for dreaming *-*

[Rubennnification]

[Littlexyno]

WOW!... is all i can say... totally amazed!

[Subspace2003]

Nice song! Somebody should write a lyrics for it. I wanna sing.

tramavirtual[.]uol[.]com[.]br/­hypnoise

[Kyronics]

Dude awesome ending from 2:50. Gotta teach us how to play that. lol

[zorahleduc]

You are a great musician, Mathew, where do you live? And how did you found me?

Do you have any oriental song so we could work together? Love and dance from Zorah Leduc (maybe you are in facebook? Its easyer for conversations)

[TheFireball100]

aaaahhhhh beautiful.....

[To0kYourHp]

I just want you to know that you have inspired me to start learning the finger picking and classical style of guitar. All of your songs are so beautiful.

[jonwesleybarnhill]

Wow! Really amazing finger work. Love the melody and the octave too. Beautiful- just beautiful.

[emeraldguitars]

I love your playing Matthew

[francescofdi]

are there any tabs ?

[jherene]

YOU ARE REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY AMAZING!!!! LUV IT!!! ^_^

[sonyskymaster]

hi i would like to know if you have any tips fore quality recording you always have great clean sound

[pililo2001]

Gracias man!!!!!!!

[95TurboSol]

Very good! Sounds comparable to Antoine Dufour, and I don't say that about many players.

-Matt

[StupidHatMatt]

@95TurboSol Thanks man, he was a big inspiration to me when I was writing acoustic stuff. He's pure genius.

[thevonbots]

I think this song is called broken fingers because if I tried to play it I would surely break my fingers. Such exquisite playing. Very beautiful music. My hat is off to you, sir.

[StupidHatMatt]

@thevonbots Thanks so much, it hurt my hand a tremendous amount as well!

[xr0w]

Can everyone with Mc in their names play music this awesome? (yes, Mc Hammer as well xd)

[rockguitar82]

Out of curiousity, what tuning are you in??? Sounds amazing! By the way, thanks for the subscription!!

[MyRoomStudio1]

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! so awesome.

[blackmagic1389]

Mathew McGhee > Andy Mckee. That's all I'm saying.

[mjmccoy9]

Are you happy with that 810? In your videos, they sound amazing. So amazing that I bought one today myself - a 1997 that is %100 broken in. It too sounds... amazing.

[viveecuador]

Wow!!!

I really love your music!!

Keep up the great work!!!!

[crazybuttiredgirl]

wawww!...dam,this is soooo incredible awesome!...and i know how much train,......and talent it needs,for playin d guitar,like u do here!...

tc, n hav a happy weekend! L.

[BimboDiz]

WOW that sounds amaizing!!! the clarity of the guitar is awsome!!!!!!!!!! do i haaaaave to have a martin or taylor or a super expensive guitar to get sounds like this??? i mean is it essential? or just helps?? [i have a classical (nylon)]

[asiandrummer15]

This amazing! Very inspirational. I write music and just 2 days figured out how to record it with a decent sound quality. Very beautiful sounding! LOVE It haha. I'm mainly a drummer but i've played guitar for 5 years so im ok at it but no where near your skill and talent. After this im going to go watch your other videos.

[TheBabyride]

Loved this one...

[LaLowRain]

i´m going to try to sing this song and post it i will give you credit what should i put to give youi credit? cuase i know i always ask people who ue my lyrics to just put my nickname lolo

[LaLowRain]

You want to live in fiction

But reality is your addiction

You need things to be real

You need to know

What you truly feel

Your life is a contradiction

Kiss goodbye to your afflictions

There are bound to be breaks in tradition

[LaLowRain]

You have a road you need to follow No time to wallow The end of the road You can never see But thats the way life has always been You feel like your sinking Choose to keep breathing Becuase you know you crave feeling Dead there is no meaning Don't let go Just take it slow There's always a place to call home The doors sometimes YOU have to open Even when your heart feels broken There won't always be someone there to help So put on the duck tape yourself.

[encopaca2]

@LaLowRain

Your lyrics are great, very original and inventive. In fact im so interested in them I would like your permission to use them in one of my songs. Me and a couple of friends started a small community band a few months ago and are working on composing new pieces, but are shy some lyrics. do you mind if i use this?

[LaLowRain]

@encopaca2 hey sure id love to have my lyrics used! i just ask that whatever lyrics you use that i get credit annnd i see the final song! alsooo i wanna keep writing lyrics i added some more im gunna post them in a bit so yeahhhh*

[LaLowRain]

@encopaca2 thats fine with me i guess, I've been trying to get someone to put music to my lyrics, but the thing is that I don't know too many people who are instrumentally talented haha. Infact, If you guys can make some music, and post it on youtube I can put lyrics to them. I made the ones above just listening to this video on the spur of the moment. Let me know- Lorraine

[bornguilty6969]

AMAZING!



[LaLowRain]

id like to sing to this if you don't mind i have original lyrics that just came to me as i listened. ill text them to you if u can send me ur cell number i typed them on my cell since i had no paper.
