Just lovely, man! You make it look so deceptively easy but your touch, phrasing, and feel are so sweet. I don't think I've ever hit the like button so fast for anybody before. Thank you!!!
It's thanks to Stefan that I learned how to play solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar in several tunings. All those hours spent in my mid teens listening to his 'How To Play Blues Guitar' and 'Country-Blues Fingerstyle Guitar' vinyl LP's and following the tabs included in the booklets turned out to be well worth the effort. It turned me on to John Fahey and Leo Kottke and ultimately resulted in me composing my own original solo pieces. That was about 40 years ago, so It was a great privilege to see and hear Stefan play live in concert at The Sage in Gateshead just a few years ago. Thanks again Stefan, for playing a big part in keeping the art alive.
I have an old old music book I wish I would have follow more of. I learn best by watching! Thank you Stephen. I’ve learned several songs just from watching! The magic of TH-cam! Thanks again Stephen! Your an awesome musician!
The master, and my first guitar teacher. Today has been a lonesome day, the funeral of Tom Paley. He taught me a lot, and I tried to absorb as much as I could. I urge all to play the guitar, which is an orchestra. Pleas listen to Stefan Grossman, Tom Paley, and other masters. Thank you.
Wonderful and still inspirational to see you playing. This was great. I'm collecting your Kicking Mule LP's with the tabs. You've done so much for us humble guitar players, thank you!
Kudos for Stefan for making some rare recordings of Steve Mann available. That could really up one’s guitar technique, like it did mine. So much that I moved right over to Violin.
Why get a good guitar if only to murder its tone by plucking too hard with right hand or muting most all the bass notes? Some good content but poorly played. There is more to guitar than copping blues from the old school players who wrote the songs. Listen to yourself sometime. It's choppy and sloppy. Effective practicing would overcome that. And in fact Gary Davis did not approve of overplaying the guitar. You could play better by relaxing all the stored tension in your arms and hands. That is hardly authentic playing. Did Skip James or Mance Lipscomb do all that popping and snapping? No, they did not.
Don't worry buddy; two very strong, gentle and white dressed men are about to come and carry you to a quiet facility where you'll find calm and soothing for your troubles; two or three blue pills might help you too, to learn the difference between artistry and apprenticeship...
John Geddes Love your gall, lecturing a guy who has set thousands on the road about how to overcome his shortcomings. Maybe you’re the one who should ‘ listen to yourself sometime. Have you considered camomile tea?
Beautiful rendition Stefen!
Stefan you have to be one of those very rare jewels in the music industry ! Thank you for all your beautiful music !
Great song with one of The finest guitarists. What's not to love? Thanks for sharing.
Just lovely, man! You make it look so deceptively easy but your touch, phrasing, and feel are so sweet. I don't think I've ever hit the like button so fast for anybody before. Thank you!!!
I am very pleased to see you still playing the guitar, very beautifully. You were and still are a great inspiration for me. Thanks!

Yes brother sounds beautiful.

This is probably my favourite Dylan song, and the way he plays it is just mind blowing
Mine too ! This guy is amazing !!! A very rare gem !

another fantastic offering from a master of fingerstyle guitar. Nice Job Stefan
There are not many guitarists that can make their guitar sing like Stefan does.
Made me smile damn it!
Cool Mr Grossman cool.
Thanks, great easy sound, sweet
You sir are genius.
Just like your mentor Stefan - playing with accuracy but slower now.... we all come to it :)
You make it sound so joyful.
Nice vocals Stefan. Guitar playing goes without saying. The way the vocals and guitar fit together works well.
“You do what you must…”

beautiful
That guitar sounds beautiful.
It's a Martin, they are always good.
NiCe songs!! 💥 who is the player or the ALbum in orden to find More of them ?
Saw him at Les Cousins Club in the 60's. Just dynamite on the 12 string.
This is pretty cool. Buckets of Rain is pretty much impossible to play like Bob anyway. Now that Waterbound is a nice tune too.
king

John please go take your medication and watch TV.
I'm sure he played better at 30 years old - no guitarist can maintain top tier articulation forever.
He’s a teacher ! And one of the best, and he plays to help us ...Hear ! IMHO.
