To Martin & stretch50: Sorry to say it's not the same song. What martin is playing is "The Great Speckled Bird", and not "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes". They have perhaps the same chord-scheme, but are really different songs.
Thanks for the post Martin. I'm still working on bending behind the bar. I've had more success switching to a lighter gauge string. Still doesn't sound quite right though.
Lovely. I've learn this piece from Rob Ickes's Big Time CD and tab book, and I have to say I really like the way you do it. When I can play it I shall put a video up! By the way, is that a Meredith you are playing? Cheers Liam
Great stuff I do a few podcasts and would love to feature some of your music and link people back to you in the show notes... Contact me if interested... either way 5 stars and thanks.
This song is as beautiful as they come, and you've done a beautiful job on it.
Now, that's what I'm talkin' about...great job, Mr.Gross.
Love those slants on the 3-5th strings. I Gotta learn to do that !
That was nice, real nice and that ending bit made me smile, thanks so much.
jamiedon, thank you very much for explaining. It`s realy interesting that so many songs are based to the same melodie.

I learned that song from Rob Ickes at Sore Fingers Summer School. He is a fantastic player and also a great teacher.

Liam,
you are right, it`s a Meredith indian rosewood / spruce top.
( I´m gonna wait for that video )
;-) sweet. And this is coming from a blues man
boy i wish i could get those slants to work out like that. it's hard to put together all those quick changes in a row.
