- On a misty morning at sunrise, I stand in the shallows of the North Fork Shenandoah river and play a haunting ambient guitar traditional tune (Shenandoah).

It feels like I’m enveloped in the pure love that Mother Earth has bestowed upon us. The melody flows gently, like a serene river through a lush, green forest, soothing the soul. I can’t help but lose myself in this beautiful melody, again and again.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your hard work and passion
Wow!
How mystical it sounds, I love that undefined tubular sound, while meditating it drives me to some other realms of rich of visions, thanks, I love it and I'll hear it often 😌
Bill… just magnificent. Thank you so much!✌️😌🎸
Beautiful way to start the day!
Epically beautiful. Thank you.
I do an annual canoe camping trip down the Shenandoah River. Its a beautiful place to spend some time, and I'm sure is a great place to find inspiration to write some ambient guitar, though I haven't ever brought my guitar with me when I go.
Such a beautiful song which I really got into listening to Connie Dover‘s version. This is a lovely rendition ❤❤❤
Beautiful. Watch out for the real electricity. Keep flying, don’t touch the ground. You’ve grown on me Bill…..
That's what music is all about Well done
Very nice and beautiful scenery. Thank you.
I love that you love a river. I love where I live too and my connection to the land really resonates in all my playing. I used to play these gigs at this ski resort and no one would be listening, it would be -10C (14F) my hands would hurt so bad from the cold and I would just start playing to the mountains. Love your stuff, hope you are healthy and happy.
This is impressive - not least the effort of waterproofing your entire pedalboard! But I jest - lovely playing as always. Great work Bill.
Bill, that was one of the loveliest things that I've seen and heard in a while. Thank for blessing us! I hope you'll continue doing more of these 'on location' performances.
Beautiful !
Wow, this is stunning Bill!
That's a fantastic idea, Bill! Mother Earth needs our love. Let music flow like rivers of beauty.
Legendary Bill❤
Greetings from Winchester, VA.
I’m imagining taking a hike and coming upon this scene. Pure beauty.
😮 wow 🤩
Wonderful , just great. Thank you. Cheers from Alaska!
Hi Bill, it's been a while since I've commented. This sounds Great! So relaxing. I closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I may have to loop this on a recording and use it for rest. Thank you. I bet you had so much fun with this outdoor experience.
I adore this kind of content. To see and hear you play in the landscapes that inspire you. What a beautiful setting too. Rivers are at their best at dawn and dusk when the mist appears. I live right by a major river that has shaped the landscape about me. Powerful, magical, ever-flowing and beautiful in all seasons.
Bill, Thais is gorgeous! I watched/listened sitting on our deck in a soft but gathering rain in the shade of our ancient maple tree.
This was my father’s favorite folk-melody. You have done it more than justice. Peace be with you, brother.
I always found a profound power and peace in this song
The flow of your playing matches the flow of the river. It's a beautiful thing.
I never realized you were local to the Valley! My fellow guitar students in the school of music at JMU and I love your channel
Thanks! One of my daughters graduated from JMU!
Great movie, Shenandoah with Jimmy Stewart. This definitely looks like a place one could forget about everything that makes life seem difficult.
This melody is truly beautiful -- thank you for turning my week around.
This is downright beautiful!! Thank you for posting this. It’s haunting and lovely at the same time and really pulls at the heart. Just beautiful.
Beautiful music in a beautiful place. I’m feeling the emotion in each note. Love it!
Thanks
Sounds different then the usual. So lovely, calm, peaceful. I love it!
I once held a D -1 note on a Volca Sample buried in a snow drift….. shout-out to Eneloops.
It would be cool if you had a telescopic fishing rod in your back pocket, and a bobber drifting downstream, occasionally pausing the composition to reel in a small trout, then gently releasing it back into the wild, and continuing on with the performance 😅
Such a beautiful part of the world and beautiful evoked here. Bravo.
GRACIAS HERMOSOOO!!!! un abrazo desde el sur de america❤
wonderful! right next to Bill Frisell's version :D
I live near a river and mountains myself and love the atmosphere of it. Shenandoah is also one of my favorite tunes and I have been wanting to do a solo ambient type arrangement but it looks like I’ve been beaten! Love your videos Bill, keep on making beautiful music!
Beautiful , just beautiful
Excelent video and music performance. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
Beautiful
Bill, on another video you were asking what to focus on with your channel. This is what you should focus on. The gear reviews should exist as secondary supporting pieces that give us some insight into your music. Your music should be the showcase.
Just gorgeous- awesomely beautiful 🙏🌏✌️🎶🎸👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 0:50
Can you do a video on the setup here? Gear and tone? Love it so much!
Your music is beautiful and full of depth. ❤
Beautiful Bill. Thank you!
It is a lovely part of the country. My brother lives in WV and if the trip wasn’t worth it to see him (it is), the scenery would tip the scales.
Beautiful vibes sir. I love your rendition of this tune on the album vision
Beautiful ❤
I was just looking into buying a q54! haha great
I have enjoyed owning this one. I string it with heavy gauge string and tune to C#.
Wow.
This might be a good piece for a guy to get his feet wet if he is interested in ambient guitar
Ha!!
Kinda like standing in a bathtub holding a toaster, but this sounds so much better...
If you ever find yourself standing in a bathtub with a live toaster, you probably have bigger things to worry about than the sound.
Forgive me but I find this simultaneously and alternately lovely and silly. On one hand, there is the harmony between the beauty of the music and the scenery and the intended meaning behind that conjunction. On the other hand, wet boots. I could go on at disturbing length but will spare us both but if I did, the electronics in/over water would be a major part of the discussion, you beautiful madman. And for the record, my previous favorite version of this was on Garcia and Grisman's Not For Kids Only.
Tranquil ⛲️
Love that guitar. I've always wondered if it is hard to adjust to the headless, how's the balance, etc.
All I'm thinking about is water plus electricity. Safety talks every day at work 😮
The only electricity was a Zoom recorder in my back pocket powered by 2 AA batteries. :-)
Life is old there
Now do "Whiskey River".
👌👌👌👏👏👏
You're a funny guy Bill! That's the wettest reverb I've heard in a while...
Are you using an alternate tuning on this one? I have to ask because Im only a novice at guitar and never learned much music but I picked up my acoustic to try playing along a bit and something made me feel like my guitar was tuned too low.
This guitar is tuned to C# standard. Also, there is a partial capo that creates an open tuning effect.
What bug spray did you use to keep from being ate up??
Surprisingly, it was not buggy at 6AM. :-)
I HAVE WRITTEN THIS COMMENT MANY TIMES.COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE SOME TUTORIALS OF YOUR SONGS?🤔NICE UPLOAD.
Are you referring to the playing or the gear setup? Thanks!
That's OK, I play Misty in the wrong key...
