What?!? How could I have NEVER NOTICED this - oh, how I love "Cannonball", & Brooks, I think your rendition of it is JUST AMAZING!! That's it, I'm headed on over to the TrueFire pool - "CANNONBALL"!! LOL
Thank you very much, Robert! TAB/Notation + 5-part lesson available in my TrueFire channel The Fingerstyle Toolbox: truefire.com/channels/fingerstyle-toolbox/cannonball-rag/l22592
Thank you, Christoph! That's a solo that Buster showed me - and I'll be teaching the whole thing in my TrueFire channel this weekend :) Talk to you soon!
Thank you, Ivan! TAB/Notation + 5-part lesson available in my TrueFire channel The Fingerstyle Toolbox: truefire.com/channels/fingerstyle-toolbox/cannonball-rag/l22592
Thanks, Greg! Come check out my Fingerstyle Toolbox on TrueFire - hundreds of new lessons I produced there in the last year that aren't in any of my other 5 courses! Here's a link: truefire.com/h2475 Thanks for the support and encouragement, take care!
Hey Steve! This is one I want to hear you go after! Thumbpick or no thumbpick I know you can do it! That being said I know the thumbpick takes some real getting used to! Talk to you soon and thank for the support!
Thanks, jubbaronny! I think my neighbors are conspiring to get me evicted I had to do so many takes! All depends on how much I've been playing / practicing and from day to day it varies. Thanks for watching!
@@BrooksRobertson Among the many qualities of Brooks I admire is his customary “mistakes and all” approach when he posts a video. His “mistakes” are always so trivial (at least to me), they do not take away from the performances in the slightest. I absolutely love his playing.
NICE JOB. GREAT TEMPO. TOO MANY PLAY THIS TOO FAST BUT THIS WAS PERFECT. I DO A VIDEO ON THE TURNAROUND PARTS FOR BOTH CHET AND JERRY AND THEN I SHOW LENNY BREAU'S TURNAROUND AS WELL WHICH IS A NICE SHUFFLE FEEL.
That's me doing a "banjo roll" on the backing guitar 2 track, like you'd hear Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed do on many of their duet recordings. If you want to learn how to play banjo rolls for fingerstyle guitar, check out my course Fingerstyle Rolls on TrueFire - www.fingerpickinglessons.com/fingerstyle-rolls Thanks!
Yes there are two guitars, one is playing melody (shown on screen) then I overdubbed a harmony part. Just how I like it. Not sure why some folks get the impression I'm trying to fool anyone into thinking it's one guitar. I put this video together as a performance and it's part of a 5-part lesson where I break down and teach the entire tune in my Fingerstyle Toolbox Channel on TrueFire, just like I said in the description. You should come check it out, and learn to play it! This resembles the duet version recorded by Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed, have you heard that recording?
@@BrooksRobertson no but I will Check it out! Big fan of both of course. Sorry if it came across as doubting re the two guitars, I was actually trying to be complimentary! Sometimes the bass picking plus melody can disguise whether it is the one-man band a la Tommy Emmanuel blue moon or more guitars. I will check out the tutorial. Ps one of my favourite tunes you play is first rule of thumb - is there a tutorial of that as well?
Hey Rodavon, I teach this whole tune, with TAB/Notation in my TrueFire channel THE FINGERSTYLE TOOLBOX - here is the link, thanks! truefire.com/channels/fingerstyle-toolbox/cannonball-rag/l22592
This video is part of an instructional lesson, so I kept the speed at a moderate tempo :) if you’d like hear it faster I believe TH-cam has a function where you can speed it up , thanks for watching! Is this a tune you play?
Nice! It's a classic! When I've been lucky enough to play it with Tommy Emmanuel Richard Smith , Thom Bresh or Buster B. Jones, we really burn through it! Thanks for watching!
The energy, fun and frolic is wonderful, let alone the expertise, accuracy and touch! Bravo, Brooks!
Always count on Brooks for terrific style and clean playing.
Absolutely insane brother keep it up!

Amazing brooks!!!
Thanks, Lorenzo! Hope you're doing well pal! btw - loved your tune "Carousel" - keep up the great work man!
@@BrooksRobertson luckily apart from this crazy time I'm fine, you? thank you very much I'm glad you like my song! ❤️
Wow... I've been playing a (now obviously) pretty basic version of this for years. Your playing is so clean and creative.... Buster is proud!
Awesome!
Excellent rendition
That's some bloody great guitar playing.
What a great tutorial. This is all a competent player needs. Well done.
Thank you very much, Robert! TAB/Notation + 5-part lesson available in my TrueFire channel The Fingerstyle Toolbox: truefire.com/channels/fingerstyle-toolbox/cannonball-rag/l22592

My Lord....you make it look so easy. Then I pick up my guitar and realize I’m lost when i put my thumb pick on.
Hey Steve! This is one I want to hear you go after! Thumbpick or no thumbpick I know you can do it! That being said I know the thumbpick takes some real getting used to! Talk to you soon and thank for the support!
insane
wow what a performance and what a accuracy in those rolls Arpeggios . what skill level is this tunes on ?
Another gem! Quick question, do you do all these videos in one take or do you have a few goes to get them right?
Thanks, jubbaronny! I think my neighbors are conspiring to get me evicted I had to do so many takes! All depends on how much I've been playing / practicing and from day to day it varies. Thanks for watching!

overdubs, at 1:15 notes that I dont see played (G and F#) one needs a sixth finger for that 🙂
i need a tab

I just drooled over myself and now they want to put me in a "HOME".
Ha! Thanks for watching, William!
WOW...
I would personally prefer a bit faster tempo...
Your presentation is awesome!!!!

I do sometimes!!

You are one among the few I adore and look up to.... carry forth the legacy of Buster and fingerstyle guitar.
Tommy, my Model!!! You are lucky but deserving... He he he... To play with him will be just a dream for me...
Where's the second higher octave guitar?
There's a harmony part I recorded in the backing track.

That's a lot of work
You just gave me a semi
