  • Great job! Sounds terrific! I guess you are in an open tuning?

  • @Mandolin1944 Thank you sir! And yes, I'm in open D tuning. DADF#AD low to high.

  • It was like listening to a rhythm player, a lead, and a bass player at the same time.

    Great, fantastic, one of a kind job.

  • Thank you sir, your check is in the mail!!

  • one of the finest players to ever pick up the instrument. i had the rare honor and privilege to take lessons from sam.

  • I had the rare honor and privilege of imparting my meager wisdom upon young Bill.

  • great playing Sam!

  • Mr. Swank..... didn't you try to teach me this? Along with many others. Too bad I wasn't a more talented student...... The olsen still sounds great. You were always the best. Great playing!! Randy B

  • I think i've listened to this a good 100 times over the last couple of years. I'm no closer to being able to play it though! Outstanding technique, such clean playing... it's great to just listen to.

    Please put up more videos of this kind of fingerstyle.

  • fantastic playing!

  • Open D
