And to you! Hope to see ya on Sunday 🙂

You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, hope this helps out 🙂

Wow, you are fast! 😄

Great! Hope you can make it :)

Hi Thomas, thanks for subscribing! I'd be happy to do a how-to for Sixty Acres. Such a great song, and a lot of fun to play. Should have something together over the coming holidays, I'll have some time. Meanwhile, here's my most recent rendition of the song from my livestream last August, this takes you right to it: ua-cam.com/users/liveBZCmlynwPAk?t=2870s Thanks for the request, stay tuned!

Thanks for watching! I started out in classical, had delusions of being a classical guitarist when I was a wee sprout ;)

Thanks for watching, hope it helps out :)

Indeed, the shapes are basically the same, and he uses the same ones in a couple dozen others as well...

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! And also thanks for subscribing 🙂

Thanks Toby! Hope it helps. 🙂

Thanks for checking it out! Hope you get it down quickly :)

Thanks for watching! Good luck working it up :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for your kind words, and I do hope it helps!

I'm glad to have helped give you a little relief 🙂

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! I really enjoy doing these - sure wish something like this had been around decades ago. It's great to know other players are finding them useful. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! Love the shirt and the guitar... I play it pretty much every day! I've worn a spot on the top near the soundhole...

Thanks Beth 🙂

Thank you very much for watching and for your way-too-kind words. I really appreciate it 🙂

Thank you for watching!

Great version of a great song from a great album!

@@maring.214 Agree, that whole album is fantastic.

Thanks very much! As it happens, I've just posted another Zevon cover, My Sh!t's F*cked Up. You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/aD5EU42Ayxc/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!

That's too funny!!

Indeed they do, I have two, the other is a 12 string in the same body shape, made of myrtlewood. Lots of guitar for the money.

Thanks Randy 🙂

Howdy, yep, it's a Breedlove Pursuit Concert body guitar. The cedar top really makes the sound, I love it. I've got a Breedlove 12 string in the same body style as well, they make excellent guitars. Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! There doesn't appear to be a way to send a direct message to UA-cam members, near as I can tell. But if you're on Facebook, you can message me there, I go by my name there as well. To tell me apart from the other Dave Drapers, my avatar is a stylized image of the Statue of Liberty with a bullet-riddled shield on her arm instead of her book. That is the only social media I'm on, I'm afraid. All that said, feel free to at least ask for your request here in public, I'm very happy to get them! That's what others have done. Thanks again!

@@DaveDraperGuitar Ok, so if and when you find some time to work it out, I would love to have to post "Levelland". I would really appreciate it and I would also look forward to hearing you play it too!

@@randallanderson589 Hey Randy! This is an easy one... I did a demo for Levelland a couple of years ago, and you can get it here: ua-cam.com/video/oZ6RW6KgwR4/v-deo.html Also, I've done the song in one of my livestreams last year. Here's a link to that spot from Aug 23: ua-cam.com/users/liveqhKbZOoHDaM?t=3716s Hope this helps!

@@DaveDraperGuitar Thanks Dave!!

Very glad you find them helpful! I went for many, many years not being able to play much of James's stuff, so once I had learned so much from his pandemic livestreams, I wanted to pass it along and make it easier for others to get there. Happy to fulfill requests, don't be shy ;) Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! I sure can't speak for other players, but for my part, I simply have an extremely weak grasp of music theory, so relating things in those terms is something I'm just not able to do. It's always been my Achilles' Heel, and a big reason why I switched away from my initial music major... I did study classical guitar for some years in my youth, and can read music, but the way sheet music is used between guitar and piano is very different. There's really no such thing as sight reading when it comes to guitar sheet music, because most notes can be played in at least two places on the neck, and some as many as four, so it takes time to work out where one's hands need to be when. I take nothing away from pianists! It's a whole different set of challenges, with each note being sounded in only one place, so different planning is needed. I've always thought that this difference is what allows guitar players like me to get away with nearly nonexistent music theory understanding and still play something credibly...

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! Afraid I have to disappoint you on tabs though, I've never used them and being honest, that's just more work than I want to do (or have time for)...! I try to show my fingerings as clearly as I can so that folks can get there - hope these help. 🙂

By all means, please do :)

Thanks so much Miriam... hang in there.

Very glad you are finding it useful! Thanks for checking it out :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you! I appreciate you checking it out :)

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I have indeed worked this one out, just performed it in my most recent live stream. Here's a direct link to that spot: ua-cam.com/video/Q6NB3X1ateE/v-deo.html James played it in double drop D in the first few clips I have seen recorded of this song (and that's how I play it); here, he's playing the baritone, which is tuned to whatever the bari equivalent of DDD is, and then capo on fret I - still in the key of D, apparently. I won't be doing a how-to on this tune (or his other new songs) until after his new album comes out, out of respect - but once it's out (I'm hearing sometime next spring) I'll put something up. 🙂

@@DaveDraperGuitarFantastic - you’ve got me as a new subscriber! I love “Pinocchio in Vegas” as well - he didn’t play it when I saw him in Santa Cruz, but the eTown version is great. That one I worked out for myself😊

@@maring.214 Thanks for subscribing! Agree, Pinocchio is one of his easier songs to play...

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for checking it out.
