I was just thinking about you yesterday… Glad to see this post!

Love this cut and you did a great job covering it.

[DiscostewLA]

Thanks so much Tricia_Lynn – I always really appreciate your kind words and thoughts and I hope you and yours are doing well and having a nice day today!

Very entertaining and enjoyable. I had not thought of the song in some time and your performance was clear and straight forward. I thank you for sharing. Your chord changes and timing were right on. Nice.

[DiscostewLA]

Thanks so much albert_d! I sincerely appreciate your encouragement and kindness and hope you and yours are all doing well and having a lovely day. Rock on!

[Philb]

Well done! Very mellow performance, playing great as usual, fitting for the song.

[DiscostewLA]

Thanks Philb! Hope you and yours are doing well and that you have a nice week and get in some good guitar time. Rock on!

[Tammi R]

Wow! Very nice job.

[DiscostewLA]

Hey there – thanks so much!

[albert_d]

I ran across this again and this time I noticed how well you use your thumb on the Low E in your D chord. Good technique to add texture. I forget to do that sometimes so must remember I can. Enjoyed it again. Thanks.

[DiscostewLA]

Cool – thanks albert_d! I don’t usually do the ‘thumb-wrap’ technique that a lot of pros do for barre cords. My thumbs are kind of short and stubby and don’t wrap around necks well. But it worked for this little chord. Hope you have a great week ahead!

[Loraine]

I was so pleased I watched and listened. Stew, this was the best performance of yours to date. I’m so impressed with your fingerstyle. It was so fluid, and clear. Your vocals were the strongest I’ve ever heard. And the inflection and you were feeling the music and let the lyrics guide your emotions. Absolutely loved it!!

What did you use for instruction? Was it another website, book etc? If it was another site, can you message it to me (not courteous to Tony to mention competitor sites in the forums). Or if you have the printed tab or chord sheet, can you share it with me? What was your pick pattern?

[DiscostewLA]

Thank you so much Loraine! That really means a lot to me and is so encouraging to hear. I sent you a direct message with the link to the YT video I used to learn the song.

I hope you have a great week ahead! Rock on. 🙂

[Braden]

[DiscostewLA]

Hey Braden – thanks so much! I hope you’re doing well and have a lovely weekend!

Great rendition, and I like how we can see what your fingers are doing.

[DiscostewLA]

Cool – thanks Paul. I appreciate it and hope you have a nice weekend ahead!
