William Elliot Whitmore - Gravel Road

Love this song. Went to a Clutch show a couple years ago where William Elliot Whitmore opened for them. Didn't really know what to expect. He comes out on stage, sits down in a chair which had a banjo and an acoustic guitar on either side of it, picks up the guitar and proceeded to floor everyone there. Great performer, great player and great singer.

Like I said, he had a banjo on stage too. You can here it on this song, but some of his songs are just banjo and his voice. Those songs are equally amazing to me. I don't own a banjo, nor can I play one, but if I did I'd post one of those songs too.

Hope you enjoy this little break from my normal stuff.

Great job man, can you tell me what that bar chord is?

[mymassivehead]

@unsafebutton1 thanks man. That chord is just an F sharp chord. Basically an E chord shape played on the second fret.

TONY!!

Well, I can't necessarily say I was a fan, I was just checking out mymassivehead's newest video....at the time....(9 months ago). This was the first time I ever heard of W.E.W. Good shit though.

Its Funny Running into you here. Didn't know you were a W.E.W fan. Saw him with Clutch, he's just great live.

[anthonyadkins81]

I saw him open for Clutch at the Royal Oak Music Theater, outside of Detroit. He won over the house that night. He rolls out on stage with just a stool and a banjo. Fucking awesome. By the end of the night his CD's sold out, they didn't even have a promo left. He was messed up though, drunk as hell, staggering around the venue. I ran into him on the way to get a beer. Cool Cat.
