How to Play "The Gardener" by The Tallest Man On Earth

http://www.yellowbirdproject.com

I remember when I first heard of him from a few years back, I loved how mysterious and obscure his image was. You never even saw his face! And those parlor guitars he had...it was just great. Now he's blown up a little bit in popularity, and that's only a good thing. Dude's talented. And he wrote the theme song for the YBP!

Anyway, here's my rendition of his song. He plays it on the 7th fret (maybe 6th?) open tuning, but I wanted to make a simple version of the song. Hope you enjoy it, it's a great one!

For those wanting to know how to play it the "real" way, watch the public radio recordings of him playing and pick it up. It's in DADEAD tuning, along with alot of his songs.

Im trying to figure out the strumming pattern, but you sing way louder than your guitar, its distracting.

@ffokazak

ohhh i see what ur saying, i thought you were trying to say the way Tallest Man plays it is capo on 2nd fret

[ffokazak]

Mike rawbertson,

Dude, THIS video, if the capo was on the 2nd fret, it is the cheap way to play it in the same key as the recording.

Tallest man puts it on the 7th fret because his guitar is tuned DADEAD, this videos tuning is standard.

Get it?

Feel sorry for yourself, before you feel sorry for me,hahah
