  • The guitar sound is nice...

    I found that diff arrangers give diff

    notes.

    Whose arrangement are you using for this rendition? Please advise.

    Thank you.

  • Thanks. This arrangement is from Stephen Grossman's book. It's the same as a lot of the tab on the internet though. I play the same notes as the tab, but I finger the chords differently than most people. I find my way to be easier because I don't have to do the quick move with my pikny on the high E and B strings. So I end up fingering the same G chord two different ways.

  • thank you for uploading this inspiring one!!

  • Hey, thanks!

  • nice - good job!

    what's the guitar you're playing?

    I'm looking to buy a good finger picking guitar, any tips?

  • It's a Larrivee OM-03. I love it. It's great for finger style, but also good for playing lead.. it has a nice fast action like an electric. The only advice I can give is to try some out and see how they work for you. Generally the smaller guitars like mine are better for fingerstyle than bigger guitars like dreadnoughts are.

  • great video. seeing your finger work really helps me pick up some new licks.

  • Bryan

    Your fingers work so good. Love it.

    Is it 180 BPM? ooww

  • I love my d-03 for everything including fingerstyle, though I've got a martin 00016 that's I use for fingerstyle.  I've heard it said and I agree, "the d-03 is a versatile instrument'. I luv my larrivee too!

  • Not sure if there is a DVD, but the book is good.
