I just sat down on a chunk of firewood here in my basement. While the woodstove gets going I checked out TH-cam and your video was there. Your guitar playing and your singing just made my night! Thanks much! PS, I think I'll replay it a couple more times🤙👌😉
John, I just found your cover of a song I have grown to love. It is one of my favorites by Gordon and your cover is beautiful. Wow, tears are always proof! 👋👋❤
Jim, Thanks for listening and subscribing! Gordon was an amazing songwriter! I was able to meet him in 2015 and he was a very nice man. I have some other Lightfoot songs on the channel and several of my original songs also posted have a lot of Lightfoot influences.
Beautiful version, both singing and playing are great. John please post more but PLEASE 16 x 9 (landscape not portrait) so we can see the entire guitar and both hands as well...
VERY NICE John And very nice guitar work, great cover of a beautiful song, you inspire me to give it a try myself, I just love songs that tell a story, it's Don here from Hamilton NZ on my Wife's tablet Susan Roycroft, sincerely thankyou and I hope to hear some more of similar songs, kind regards, Don 😊😊😊
A most impressive version of this gem of a song there John. It's my all time favourite of Gord's tunes. You sure have your own signature on that one. The richness in the tone of the guitar together with the fluid finger style you deliver is captivating. Lots of stars your way for this lovely piece. Many thanks for sharing it with us. Ron Jones.
Brilliant ! very good guitar work and vocal . I’m a big Gordon fan and you have served up an excellent rendition! I’d be interested in knowing your chords and fingerpicking pattern on this one
Thanks for listening and for your comment. I am a big Gordon fan also and I was able to meet him in 2015. I try to play my own take on the songs I do so the chords are similar to Gord’s recording but not exactly the same since the recording has two guitars. The picking pattern is probably a Travis picking variation using the alternating bass with the thumb and fill and lead with fingers one and two. I can’t really get more specific than that. It’s kind of a “feel” thing.
Thanks for listening Roger! I use picks on my thumb and first two fingers. I have some other guitars but this Taylor is the one I prefer for the way I am recording.
Outstanding!
Thanks for listening Matt!

Thanks for listening!
Love your version. Are you using picks on all your fingers or just a thumb pick? I’m not usually a Taylor guitar fan but yours actually sounds great.
Thanks for listening Roger! I use picks on my thumb and first two fingers. I have some other guitars but this Taylor is the one I prefer for the way I am recording.
@@johnfoxmusic Thanks John!
