- Hello, Clive here...
This was filmed at home on 27th June 2019 for fun. It was a lovely sunny day and the birds outside were in fine voice as you may hear! Some aircraft noise managed to rumble in too but, oh well.
The guitar is my old Ralph Bown OM and it's mic'ed only.
I hope you like the song and thanks for listening.
A lesson on Lady of the Valley is now available as part of my "GUITAR WORKSHOP - SERIES 1"

What so clearly separates Clive from the vast majority of his contemporaries is not his technique (which is astonishing) but his ability to compose tunes that demand you listen to them more than once. No simple, repetitive, elevator ditties found here.
Clive's technique is unquestionably exceptional, but to me what set's him apart from virtually all other great guitarists of the day is his PHRASING. He plays with a delicacy and touch that is truly unique and wonderful. As an example, I learned the traditional version of the great song, "Mountains of Illinois" by Chet Atkin and Pat Bergeron; that is, until I heard Clive's rendition. It was so masterful, so delicate that I decided to relearn the song with Clive's arrangement. Definitely still a 'work in progress' for me, lol. Kudos to Clive!
Tasteful beyond belief. Clive Carroll makes the world a better place, at least he does for me. God bless him.
The total control you have over the tone of your guitar and your skillful technics make you a monster.
Woderful music.
His technique is astonishingly brilliant but so is his feel for the music
Clive, astonishing technique and - perhaps more importantly - a heartfelt lyricism that always touches me. Thank you!
Clive, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever! And you playing is more than delicate, it is really touching! And there is this special backgroove that seems to be always there. Great important music!
Beautiful Clive. I had the pleasure of meeting you about 10 years ago when I lived at Dunnet Head Lighthouse. You played there a couple of times and it will always be one of my very happy memories of a magical time.
There’s a lot of darkness in the world right now. This is a thing of beauty and light. Thank you Clive.
I love this tune so much. Thanks
So beautiful, Clive! Your music and playing gives me always deep pleasure. 🎶❤️😊
Lovely!
Tone, touch, feeling and technical ability amazing !. Well done , Fab !
Just huge thanks to you Clive for doing what you do.
My lullaby. Thank you, Clive.
Spectacular! Thanks so much for posting it.
Stunning stuff, Clive.
As usual, GREAT! Lovely interpretation.
I LOVE it Clive!! Try to play this tune for some weeks now and i can tell you it's a real masterpiece for me! You composed a fingerstyle milestone man! Thank you for this wonderful piece of music - it makes the world a better place. All the best for you and yours! Many greetings from Hamburg, Jimmy
Beautiful and heartfelt playing, Clive. Lovely to hear on a sunny day during week four of the dreaded lockdown.
So delicate, yet so powerful.....you gave it your all.
Well played sir!
Just love it, Clive!! Nice to picture what I'm hearing on the CD!! Cheers, BB
Thanks so much Clive. Someone already said spellbindingly beautiful, so I'll add achingly lyrical.
Spellbindingly beautiful! Thank you Clive. So much expression built on such a simple base. Loved it :-)

So beautiful
Man this is simply amazing
Already looking forward to 11 October and hearing you in person once again.

Tons of sensibility and love in you playing style. Awesome tone too. Thanks for share.

Dude, this is amazing. Instant fan
Top notch, Clive! I found you via Jimmy's cover.
Beautiful sir !!!
soooo nice!
Beautiful : )
Love it..👏👌
Thanks anyway ! You are a great artist
Lovely playing as always. I would love to see a video of you playing Luck For Sale. I've never seen you play it live and no videos exist on the interweb. Just such a fun song!
Hi James. I'll have to dig out the score and re-learn it. It's been so long since I played that! Clive
@@CliveCarrollMusic that would be great!
Clive is wonderful! I have to find out how I can get one of these Bown guitars.....
Maravilloso 👏👏👏
just heard about you. Glad to see the clips with Tommy too. I was blessed to meet him twice and maybe someday I might meet you to. I am trying to find to find about getting the truefire course and waiting to hear if I might get the 25% discount... however if that comes out of your pocket ... I'd rather you have it.
You playing here is so intense that you made my cry, Clive. I heard that this tune is dedicated to your wife, a much loved woman, for sure. Is the transcription available from anywhere? Are you planning to tour in Italy, soon? Thanks! (Ohps, I just found out you guitar lesson of the tune :-)
Hoping to tour Italy in April or May 2023!
@@CliveCarrollMusic GREAT!!! I’ll be there.
Sublime!...
^..^
Beautiful song, beautifully played, thank-you very much! Really hope you can make it to the Pacific Northwest area of North America some time (Washington State or British Columbia); would love to see you perform live :-).
Hi Scott. Autumn 2020! I'll be there. Clive
Fantastic! I'll mark my calendar. Really looking forward to it 😊.
really nice
Nice
Hey Clive, What mic are you using here? love the mellowness and low noise
hi Simon, I think it's a Neumann KM184 - Clive lists the mics in the details of his recording of 'The Adventures of Wilfred'
Hi Simon. David (above) is right. It's a KM184 and the playing is quite light to get a warmer feel (I hope!). Clive
@@CliveCarrollMusic Thanks! Oh yes, absolutely wonderful use of right hand position and a lovely melody as well.
@@CliveCarrollMusic I have an opportunity to pick up a 184 a half decent price, but fear my interface/pre (a Focusrite 2i2) would quickly be a bottle neck to a good recorded sound. What do you connect yours to for this sort of recording? Hope you’re keeping well, David
@@davejinx Hi David, I run the mics into an Apollo x8. Amazing piece of kit - well worth forking out for UA gear. Also, since this clip I've been recording at 24-bit /and 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz The difference is incredible.
Hi Clive. Love your music. Big fan. Hope your keeping well. Could you tell us about your guitar in this video, or direct us to where we could. All the best, Rory
Hi there Rory. Thanks man. I'm playing an online concert on Sat 28th November (all the links are on my website) and I'll play this piece and talk a little about this guitar for you. Clive.
@@CliveCarrollMusic its on the calendar, can't wait!
d a m n . .
...and I still haven't stuck in and learnt it! Mebad!
would love to hear you play it Brian.
I full on thought this was a White Lion cover. Stayed anyways.
Lovely!
