Everybody talkin' - Guitar picking

[4runner39]

very nice rendition sir=))

[tbirdtim]

Nice technique and feel. I was surprised to read that your guitar is a Gibson and not a Martin (sure looks and sounds like a Martin to me, but I could not see your headstock).

I cannot do finger picking, but I'm fairly adept with a flat pick. Also, I rarely use a capo (not sure why).

Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.

I've been playing for six years but my left hand just couldnt pull this off. even my guitar teacher who is well respected in town had great difficulty...we gave up I"m sorry. so you must have been playing for many many years . very nice. I love this song!

[joeykremple]

I think I like your picking more than what I hear on the record. Stunning.

[jivechump]

sounds great ! looks just like my Epiphone Masterbilt

[bpvdd]

@rooflee

Thanks a lot.

Bernard

[rooflee]

@bpvdd Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It was a shitty thing to say. It sounds very nice by the way.

[MEEKOBLADE]

@rooflee Aint half some clever f@ckers. Maybe you do a lot of things with your eyes closed.

[c00lwind]

Nice playing, but the song is played totally differently.



[bpvdd]

@c00lwind

Thanks for your comment.

[joealsilva]

Nice picking!A few parts reminds "gentle on my mind".

[bpvdd]

@joealsilva

Thanks a lot for your comment.

[PostcardKittenMeow]

No bad - but try capo at 2, start on D then D6, D7 etc.that sounds right to me

[walawakamuku]

Very nice indeed. Could you make a tutorial on this. You have the best version of this song on U-tube. It's would be great to learn from the best.

[T4csk]

do you have the Tabs for this or even better the Dots as I read music faster than tabs or chords.

[matt47forTED]

damnit i need a capo. i was tryin to play along by ear earlier and was getting pretty pissed. ive been lookin to see how people play it

[jivechump]

again, absolutely beautiful Bernard! and your guitar looks like my Epiphone Masterbilt w/ cedar top

[jivechump]

best cover I've seen on youtube. guess i need to grow my fingernails

[bpvdd]

Thanks a lot for your great compliment.

Bernard.

[bpvdd]

Thanks.

[kubr1ck]

awesome dude!

[bpvdd]

Thanks

[skeres95150]

thank you. i will learn this riff

[PostcardKittenMeow]

OK, I think I've worked it out (I was playing 'C' - capoed at 4 for about 6 months! - sounds right but hard to get the 'drop') - but it is actually D capoed at 2 - try it starting at 'D ' .. Dmaj7 etc. Alternate 4 and 5 bass strings - I think this is in the right direction to get the pickin'as on the record

[bpvdd]

good work

[jc0r]

guess not as the guys called Jean! lol. Anyhow, these seem like the best tabbed versions. On the page on UG it also has a link to another website with a version tabbed in there too, happy pickin! :D

[bpvdd]

Thanks.

[jc0r]

Ive only just stumbled across it but on Ultimate Guitar if you search for Everybodys Talking Tab Neil Diamond, a version comes up which looks similar. By a French guy too, wouldn't be you bpvdd would it? :)

[bpvdd]

No it is not me .

[PostcardKittenMeow]

Not bad ... it's hard to work out isn't it! -

I reckon they vari-speeded the guitars on the recording!

[bpvdd]

Thanks

[mastersnort1]

Very nice....best I've seen of the covers

[bpvdd]

Thanks for this great compliment.

[adam14070]

very good rendition. I had previously played this in D (D9, D7 etc) but the travis picking I think will only work in C (won't it?). Is this correct?

[bpvdd]

Thanks for the compliments.

It ' s just my arrangement.

The chords are C- C Maj7 - C7 - Dm - F+ - Dm7-

G.

[bpvdd]

Merci Steeve.

[acousticaddic]

J'aime bien ce p'tit air là. Très bien joué. C'est joyeux et ca correspond bien au printemps actuel.*****
