PHIL HARE - THE WATER IS WIDE/MUDDY WATER

Phil's late-night take on two old traditional tunes. The Water is Wide (Waly Waly) is a popular ballad most associated with the Scottish Tradition - although it is believed to be Irish(!), whilst the tune Muddy Water is an American reel learned from Wirral mandolier and all-round genius Paul Bonnett. The guitar is tuned to good old DADGAD

I dont understand how guitar players with one tenth of your talent gets more visits. I my self play fingerstyle and would give my soul to play half as good as You.

@jounisaarnio Thanks. Spread the word!

You`ve got a great touch on the strings and an obvious love for the tunes you play. Thanks for posting. I`ve enjoyed all your clips.

BTW why are the headstocks of guitars so often cut out of shot on so many guitar vids (not just yours)? I love guitars and love to know what I`m listening to. Great guitar makers deserve credit I recon.

Indeed you are right! I think I've captured the Santa Cruz headstock in some of my vids, I'm just not that good with a camera!

I have finally figured out why so few of us have the talent to play as well as we would like....You've bloody well pinched it all.

As I seem to say to all your vids....nice one Phil

[sorenutube]

I can live with the facials, when the playing is that excellent!

[Mouldytone]

Who needs perfect camera technique when you can play guitar like that! : )

Cheers

Great Jig. Great movements through the slow passes. Keep up the good work Phil.
