    I started off mistakenly watching this at my default non-musical-video speed of 1.25x and thought, "Wow! Mark's on *fire* with this one." Blessedly, after I realized my error you still sounded great. Thank for another one, Mark. Great choices and at least a few of them seem doable for me.

    very nice hearing some of those classics in this video, mark! moody blues, mamas and papas, and of course, zeppelin!

    Wonderful! Really enjoyed this video Mark! Sorry I haven't been able to watch 'em much, lately! But you're still doing a super job!

    Solid choices, all. And all nicely done!
    60's music is kinda my home base; it's when I transitioned from classical to pop.
    I knew about half of these; Hazy Shade of Winter I do a little differently, but I like your arrangement and will have to learn it now :-)
    Thanks, Mark!

      Hey Fred. I was going to say long time no talk but that's on me. I haven't been able to answer comments lately and I'm just not willing to automate the most important aspect of the whole thing. I was having trouble with fretting after an open note and getting some buzz. My arrangement is a matter of necessity. :)

    Mark: I loved every selection. There is something about Pinball Wizard that gets to me every time. I think Paul Simon is one of the most underrated guitarists of my generation, so I enjoyed Hazy Shade of Winter. He also performed Anji on one of the early Simon and Garfunkle albums, and it has always fascinated me. One of these days I have to get around to learning Walk Right In on the 12-string.

    Interesting selection. Sends me back to my holidays then. Btw your Anji is the Jansch variation copied by Simon. Thanks as ever. Graham stopped playing it after Anji died...

    • @8MinuteAxe
      @8MinuteAxe  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I used to play it how Jansch played it but about five months ago I read that it used to be a right of passage for young folk players and since I was I wanted to represent that aspect of the 60s and I hadn't played it in years, I just made it my own in one take. I don't believe any of the versions you mention has the 6ths in it. I should have taken the time to do it justice. Thanks for the positivity. Much appreciated. Mark

    It's nice to see 'Hazy Shade Of Winter'. Where do you rank Paul Simon as a guitar player? He's an accomplished writer and performer but he gets buried by his own songs. People forget that he writes and plays them himself. Billy Joel gets more credit on the piano than a lot of the acoustic guitar players from the 1960s and 1970s do for preforming their own music.
    Have you thought about doing a video on them and ranking them based off of your opinion as to their playing style and ability?
    Some of the ones you could include could be:
    Paul Simon
    Paul Stookey
    John Denver
    Neil Diamond
    Gordon Lightfoot
    Roy Clark
    Joan Baez
    Janis Ian
    Lobo
    Don McLean
    Harry Chapin
    Cat Stevens
    And a lot of others.

    • @8MinuteAxe
      @8MinuteAxe  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's interesting that you mention a lot of these players. I thought about including songs by many of them. Paul Simon is a great guitar player as are most of the players on the list. I would say on this list Roy Clark is in a league of his own. I'm still trying to reconcile the fact that the guy that I grew up knowing only as the truck driver in Smokey in the Bandit is one of the great guitar players of all time. :)

      @@8MinuteAxe Paul Williams played Little Enos, the short sidekick in the cowboy hat. He wrote a lot of hits for other people, particularly Three Dog Night, The Carpenters and Helen Reddy. He wrote everything from 'Just an Old Fashioned Love Song' by Three Dog Night to 'Rainbow Connection' by Kermit the Frog.

    Hey, Mark. I've been forgetting to sign up for the Vangoa package giveaway, and that makes me sad. Is this how you do It? Leave a comment?
    Ok, to the meat of the comment:
    Led Zeppelin's Jimmy; Beatles' John, Paul and George: David Gilmour; Jimi, sometimes, and my personal favorite, Alex Lifeson; and of course the master of the 12 - Leo Kottke, all took the listener/wannabe player/pro - twelver to new heights of the Tower of Sound. And you can play them all. Good job.
    Love the channel, and maybe you can start another channel. Maybe, lessee . . . 12 Minute Axe?
    Good day to you, Sir, and I wish you and yours the very best.
    P.S. Eff Don H.

    If these are acoustic songs why are you playing over backing tracks? Kinda defeats the purpose.

    • @carlomaletti4284
      @carlomaletti4284 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Why? Just because a song is played with an acoustic guitar it doesn’t mean other instruments should be silenced.

    • @8MinuteAxe
      @8MinuteAxe  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are mostly the original backing tracks of the songs so it's hard to argue that they don't go with the song since...well...they are the song. Most of my acoustic videos don't include backing tracks but I like to mix it up. Now if it said, unplugged, it would be a bit contradictory. I have an entire series where I play all of the instruments on the 12 string, piano, bass, guitar parts, etc. no drums.
