    People who don’t play guitar just don’t understand how hard this is to play! Great job, Great tone, sounds amazing!

      Well he's not playing the chords with his thumb and he is picking with more than just his thumb and index

    • @black_hawk133
      @black_hawk133 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Duy Nguyễn Quý You pick the 6th W your thumb, then 4th w your index, 3rd w thumb, 2nd w index then slap the strings w thumb, 3rd w index, slap w thumb then 4th w index... hope it was understandable ;) (this is just the basic pattern)

      Watch both original and this one at the same time you'll see this one looks easier by far not to mention the original is played on a Martin...

    As an admirer of this song, I usually scoff at covers of it because very few people have the skill to get the riff down to begin with, nevermind get comfortable enough with it to incorporate the melody, and then throw in some variations on top of that. Great work.

  • @jaimeaparicio4279

    Most people have trouble with the regular version, you are quite a musician. You found the harmony and you make the bass line, you are awesome hope you know it

    I agree, its too hard to say just "awesome" - it indeed is an understatement. Been playing guitar for a while and this really blew me away. Its awesome, amazing, brilliant, wonderful, fantastic, fabulous, astonishing, breathtaking, bewildering, and last but not least, perfect. Great fucking job! Hope to see you in concert one day buddy, keep it up.

  • @ToddPritch
    @ToddPritch  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks man. I use gauge 11 Elixirs. A lot of people hate on them, but I don't know why. They last a long time, maintain tuning and take forever to rust. Highly recommend it especially if you play a lot.

Love the finger style, although it's soooo difficult. This was as inspiring as it is enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
