Dale, THANK YOU!!! You have been a God send to my evolution in guitar playing. I hope I am able to learn tunes as quickly as you do! This one is at the top of my "to learn" list!
Sam, don't know how it's been so long for me to find this video, but thanks so much. Wonderful job walking through this beautiful tune. I'm pretty close after a few hours, and will get it down with a bit more practice. Thanks!
I guess my reply didn't work but at any rate, thank you for your comments. I have a video where I just play it so you don't have to suffer through the tutorial. Can you believe he flat picks this?
Just type in wisteria richard shindell and scroll down a few videos. It's only 1:36 seconds long and if you watch his Shrewsbury Folk Festival video you'll see that I'm playing it wrong. No surprise there. The notes might be close but I play them in a different position than he does at least the way he plays it in Shrewsbury. Type in Samsonito and you can view all of them. If I'm wearing ridiculous clothes on some of them it was done just for fun and I don't really dress like that. Samsonito was my cat's name. My name is Dale
Dale -- I'm asking a favor of you, if/when you have time: I'm still searching for a guitar track of Wisteria so that I can sing with it at Karaoke. My guitar skills aren't sufficient to learn to play as you do, never mind sing at the same time. Would you mind playing it through, all the way if possible? I'd be so grateful. My name's Gale -- and if I can get a video of the performance, I'll upload for you. :-)
Thanks for suffering through that. There are a couple videos of You Stay Here that should get you going. If you want professional free tutorials watch Andy's videos. Type in "shut up and play". In my opinion he's best on youtube by far. Some with tab that you can buy for $8 You used to be able to buy all of them but copyright people made him stop. Check him out.
Actually I don't have a couple of spots as well as I thought. What are you playing at 7:38-9? Is your index finger on the second fret A string and ring on the 4th of the D string? I'm having a brain freeze...
It's crooked on purpose. The angle allows me extra room for my left hand when I'm fretting the high strings on the first fret. Otherwise, it gets in my way.
I'd never seen that video before but it's not my style of playing. I can't sing, strum or flatpick. Shindell's an awesome flatpicker. He flatpicks songs that I always thought he fingerpicked until I saw him live. These are just first position chords that you should be able to handle. The beauty is all in the right hand.
My pleasure. I can slow it down even more. I just wish I could sing. I can only play instrumentals. I've got a few more dadgad songs that are fun to play. Email me and we'll talk.
Between tabs I found years ago that didn't print out right (and cut some parts out) and your tutorial, I have it figured out up to the refrain. Thanks for posting. I'll get the rest of it.

Awesome! You saved me some time in trying to figure out the tuning.
Thanks so much for posting this.. You've unlocked the mystery for me
Thanks so much for this post. Really appreciate it (and very nicely done).

samsonito where could I watch the video of you playing? I'd like to see that. Thanks

Love it. Thanks for the pointer, and keep on playing!

This is awesome. I see you have not posted anything for a long time. I wish I could find a good tutorial on Shindell's "You Stay Here"

Thanks for puttin this up brother
O for a tab.
Actually I don't have a couple of spots as well as I thought. What are you playing at 7:38-9? Is your index finger on the second fret A string and ring on the 4th of the D string? I'm having a brain freeze...
Yes.
I'm not as dumb as I thought... :) thanks.k

Is there a particular finger picking pattern that can be used in at least some of the song?
Not really, just try to listen to the melody. It's not like a regular Travis picking song.

I am so lost on this. Is this an alternate tuning?
Yeah, if you look at the description you'll see I mentioned that it's in dadgad tuning.
Thank you so much. Beautiful job.
