There’s this underrated corner of TH-cam where middle aged men absolutely control their instruments and yet hardly get any attention. There’s a Dutch Lapsteel artist that is in a similar situation.
@@GhostRAOfficial hmmm…I haven’t picked up any of my guitars for 2 years. I’ve played for over 40 years. I’m still nimble, but lost my drive to play. Been in a slump for a loooong time!
you can do this if you dedicate the time to it. this man makes it look easy, but behind this video was dozens of hours of him practicing this one song. you can do this if you set yourself to it.
This gives me so much mid 2000s vibes when TH-cam was about sharing talent and enjoyable, educating contents. Since the social media era, everything is fckd. Thank you great sir for sharing this piece.
I'm sure you didn't mean to make anyone cry with this cover, but here I am. My dad loved this song and played it all the time, just like you do. He was actually diagnosed with dementia on the same day that Glen Campbell passed away. He was incredibly emotional hearing the new of Glen's passing on the way home from being diagnosed. He passed away in 2022 and I never thought I would hear anyone play this song like he did. He did the thing like you're doing where you pick and pluck so it sounds like two guitars, sorry that I don't know what that technique is called, I decided to play the drums and piano instead of following in my dad's footsteps and play guitar. Looking back, I wish I had gotten more videos of him playing different songs and that I wished I had him teach me guitar. But anyway, thank you for making me cry and think about happy memories of my dad. I will have to check out your channel and watch more!
Gosh, what a genuinely beautiful piece of music. I thank God that people with your amount of earned skill and dedication exist. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
@@Thewildmanrules I worked it out manually from watching the video and can now play it reasonably well. Maybe I'll write up some tabs and share it in a comment so he hopefully shares it!
@@cirrus393 please let us know if you ever decide to post it! Many of us would be super grateful!! Hats off for learning through the vid must've taken quite some time
Love this so much. I hope if I am lucky enough to be old I'll be playing the guitar on the front porch. Recently visited the southern USA (I'm West Australian) and it was such a different place to what I'm used to but also so distinctly homely. I can now see why so many songwriters from the south can create that such feeling in their music. I'm now at home In Western Australia recovering from having a tumour cut out from my colon (she'll be right) and distracting myself with the sounds of the south 😍
I've been working on my fingerpicking for 3-4 years now, and I still cannot get the hang of a thumb pick. You my friend have incredible control over your instrument. Great cover!

What is that dutch lapsteel guy his name?
@@versnellingspookieI think he might be referring to Luke Cyrus Goetze, but I could be wrong
the same thing with Emil Ernebro, that guy is incredible playing the guitar. There's a song of his that's incredible: Reed it.
Search for it
Glad to be here with yall
Make a playlist about it? I’d watch
Got that "I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive" tone that only time and dedication can give.
god damn right about that
@@erichomsyDon’t use the lords name in vain.

This sounds like a sunset sitting next to someone you love.
[Verse 2]
Southern skies
Just as good even when closed your eyes
GAY !!!!!
That sounds gay
A lot of people throw around the phrase clean playing, and sometimes rightfully deserved but jesus your playing is tight man. Incredible playing
Thank you, this captures how I felt. The melody on the higher strings is excellent by itself.
I'll say its cleaner than it is tight. stupid clean tho. like, i feel embarrassed with myself for being proud of my playing
My guitar just started laughing at me 😢
@@mouthfulacoque3580 why? this is the result of all of your hard work, you deserve to feel pride!
@@GhostRAOfficial hmmm…I haven’t picked up any of my guitars for 2 years. I’ve played for over 40 years. I’m still nimble, but lost my drive to play. Been in a slump for a loooong time!
This is how I want to be in the future

Clicked the video knowing it wasn’t going to disappoint, stayed cuz I’m impressed
one of the best minutes to my ear. respect!
same here
🇹🇷
Reminds me of my dad.
Gonna send this to him. Love that guy.

If not for smartphones it wouldn't be so bad I think but FB was a big red flag from the beginning then came all the other nonsense.
Some people just have a little extra something that can't be taught. This guy's got it.
How old are you?
@@masterragebaitertafuq?
This can absolutely be taught.

@@lilmsdrummer That is a touching story about your dad. God bless you. 👏🥲
This is my favourite version of this song. Wish it was longer
This is how I imagine Chet Atkins would play it!
That's beautiful. Your time is spotless.
Perfectly captured that summertime feeling in just 61 seconds. Nice work!
This one is definitely worthy of a tab! Sounds incredible and it must be so fun to play.
The very sound brings me nostalgia I've never had.
0:26 most beautiful chord
Think it's a C augmented 6
Great! Chet Atkins would be proud of this fingerstyle version
Masterful playing. I thought I was watching Richard Smith for a hot minute!
I need this on spotify. Pure serotonin. Thank you
I love watching real music, where u have someone actually being able to play. Amazing W dads. Sending this to my dad.
This is my favorite version. Jesus man this is beautiful
I love it 😄Instantly I'm in a good mood.
Love all the fancy breaks but this is the heart and soul of bluegrass guitar.
I dont know why but it just felt so silent like i could only hear the chords while walking aimlessly, it felt calm.
How beautiful! I, too, play the guitar and I am very fond of such music especially southern tunes. Thank you very much!
This is such a beautiful piece played by such a beautiful man
Already a million comments... but OMG... flat out fantastic. Well done.
This something I’d hear played on the porch in a deep south state and i’m all for it
Brief, to the point and quite beautiful . The way I wish my acoustic instrumentals sounded . Thank you .! 👏🏽👏🏽
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME AS A GEORGIA BOY🔥🔥🔥
