  • Hi jacques,

    just like so many people here I very much enjoy your playing.

    I used to dislike acoustic guitar, but since a couple of years I changed my opinion.

    Players like Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Johnson and ofcourse our own Harry Sacksioni made me buy an acoustic and now I really like it.

    Especially your playing and versatility is an inspiration!

    Thank you!

    Stefan,

    Deventer, Holland

    Do you speak/write Dutch?

  • @MegaDutchdude Hi, thanks for your comments :) I don't speak Dutch, just English, German and French

  • Jacques, I have so much respect for you playing this... I'm 20 and have been listening to Yes for a while now. This piece has always been something I've wanting to master but I just can't get the hang of using fingerpicks. And the tempo of the piece is just so difficult. Do you have any advice?

  • @Brindles09 Hi, thanks for your comments. You don't need to use the fingerpicks to play this piece correctly, you can have also a good sound without or with your nails. Concerning the speed, you need to practise slowly first and when you know every places slowly you can speed up the tempo. All the best Jacques

  • @JStotzem best cover on youtube better than steve himself although he did wright it hey what sort of picks do you use on your fingers are they hard to use?

  • @guitarreilly Hi Thanks for your comment. I use plastic fingerpicks on index and middle finger + thumbpick. It takes some time to get used to them. Jacques
