OK - you can put questions about this song here. Will add the other songs as I get the tabs and videos done.

Is it standard tuning?
Will you be doing the mandolin parts on guitar? Just some tremolo picking.
Other than that it doesn't seem to complex - that's not a critiscism, it's just fingerstyle over chords right?

Standard tuning.
Just fingerstyle guitar. But I do play the mandolin melody as part of the acoustic guitar part, you'll see that in the tab.
Not planning to do the mandolin parts - that should be easy to transcribe for most folk, especially if I show it on guitar.
Going to film shortly. J

It's up on YouTube now! Just in case anyone hasn't noticed it yet.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT3Lm-6XsCYAlmost looks achievable - even to me with my very limited fingerstyle abilities!! Peter |

Honestly, I think this will get you most of your publicity, I saw in only 59 comments, several people saying I'm buying this album. Katie's Window and Imperfect on the way?

Hi Justin, First congratulations for all the amazing songs on your records. Is it correct if i say that it looks like a easy songs to do ? (i only took a look at the tab, i didn't even try yet). That's not an offense but like many "average" guitarsit i tend to think that good songs need to be complicated. Of course we all know it is not true. I'm going to learn to play it when i'll be done with "Layla" (The song, not the chick..!)  |

Guess it depends how used to fingerstyle you are. It's not exactly my forte so it's taken me this long just to get the first page reasonably fluent. |

I'd say i don't have any big problem to play fingerstyle. Arpeggios are something i can do easily, it looks more natural to me than strumming chords or soloing. |

I'd say i don't have any big problem to play fingerstyle. Arpeggios are something i can do easily, it looks more natural to me than strumming chords or soloing. The chord patterns in Page 99 aren't that difficult, really. There's C, G, Am and F, which shouldn't be too taxing for most. The real skill with this particular song is the finger-picking patterns. If you can crack those, then you're on your way! Peter |

The few people I taught this too so far have just struggled getting the finger picking parts for the melody. The hard part (I think) is getting the melody to stand out when it should and sink back when I am singing and not get in the way. I'm nearly there |

I gave it a try last night. And honnestly for me it was "pretty" easy to play. Or at least not that difficult. The most difficult part imo is when it switches to the G chords. But i played the First appergios (the C, G/B, Am) without problem. That when we play a song that we truely realize how beautiful is the melody. And this song is wonderful. The only problem is i'm way to lazy to learn it all and then uploading a video. |

When playing the Bb ...i usually bar it with the 3rd finger...i can sound the right note on the thinnest string (first fret) when i really try...but not at speed (yet).. In the meantime can i get away with just playing the note at the 3rd fret instead? (doesn't sound too bad) Or should i play it muted or just miss out the note? Would appreciate some tips on how others are doing it? I have the same trouble when i try the three finger style A shape barring (not fast enough)....I know it's probably just practice...but would appreciate any tips Thanks! |
