    This was the first Gordon Lightfoot song I learned to play and sing, way back in the 1960s. I still enjoy singing it today. You cover it well.

    So beautiful! I am learning to play this song from your video (slowed down). There are lessons galore on youtube for the fingerstyle guitar parts by Peter Paul &Mary and Eva Cassidy but I like your interpretation more. The thing you do with Gsus(?) in the intro and end actually sounds like gentle rain. Beautifully sung as well.

    I clicked on this video bc I love the song and soon found myself crying. Not only was your playing beautiful, your spirit reminds me so much of my grandfather. Thank you for this video and for sharing your gifts!

    I first heard this song by Elvis, secondly by Bob Dylan. After that, with many other singers. I love this song, and your version sounded very good. Congrats!

    Beautiful fingerstyle 👍technique. I specially like that *final chord BMaj7* 3:46 which is something I play in first position (no capo) as a GMaj7. But I tend to add the middle finger on the 3rd string but same fret as the index finger so it plays a 9th of that chord... so the *actual chord in your version* would have *the middle finger on the 3rd string and 6th fret* and could be labelled as [BMaj7 (9)] I think 😅
    That ninth just makes the chord even nicer in my opinion but of course you have to use these jazzier chords with discretion when you are playing country classics like *Early Morning Rain* 🤔 😀👍

      Hello David...thanks for the compliment! The guitar is not that old. Just seen a lot of use. It is a hand-made guitar by Canadian luthier William Laskin which I bought in 1983.

    You do this very well. Could you share the picking pattern here? I am a beginner. It is perfect for this song and I would like to learn it just like this. Thanks.

  • @345kobi
    @345kobi 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice Paul. I may attempt loading a song myself. Appears you don't use any equipment other than the computer. In addition the play just faded at the end, how did you make that happen?
    Keep them coming.

    • @paulmills9005
      @paulmills9005  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, Patrick. When I recorded this, i just used my iPhone. I then loaded the video into a video editing app and inserted the fades. Lately, I've been recording usinf good mics connected to my computer through an interface and shooting with my webcam. Hope this helps.
