    Wow I can't believe you came up with this. I've been playing Ed's drop dead gorgeous arrangement of TWIW for 15 years - I learn it perfectly (as you did) and then a few years go by and I have to do a refresh (I'm due - thanks for reminding me). Superb as always, Tim. Ed's is the best and most creative instrumental TWIW arrangement I know of. (James Taylor has the best vocal arrangement.)

      Agree, and I wonder what Ed has been up to. Seems to have gone off the grid.

      @@SingleMalt77005 This made me curious. His web site is still up and he comments he's back to performing after 2 years, but then upcoming shows are in 2022. His YT channel only has 3 videos, the most recent of which was 5 years ago. Think I'll email him.

      Well, you guys gave me an idea! Let me get in touch with Ed to see if he is willing to do an interview. The song went down really well on Patreon and the website. If my bigger subscriber count can move the needle for him a litte then I would be honoured to do so!

    This song made its way across the water from here in Ireland - it's a metaphor for our two countrys as well as a love song. You do it justice - it didn't sink

    One of my absolute favourites. Ed Gerhard translated this to the guitar so well, and you played it beautifully as well! Is it me or are those some pretty chunky strings?

    • @TimVanRoy
      @TimVanRoy  Рік тому

      If I recall correctly this was my standard setup (12s). I do dare to switch to 13s for lower tunings, but usually not for a drop D!

    Вот это мелодия! Тоже хочу такую сыграть! Это же Джеймс Тейлор, у него много таких мелодичных и душевных. У нас у русских говорят: сыграй, чтоб душа развернулась и больше не сворачивалась (не знаю, поймешь ты перевод) Вот эта песня такая. Я сначала слушаю и никак не пойму. Слышу тут какие-то знакомые ноты, мотив, а потом раз и понял, что это за песня. )))))) И на счет гитары...В наушниках слушаю. Такой глубокий звук, вообще просто классный, вот это Мартин. Я видел, если не ошибаюсь у тебя таких Мартин похожих две, прямо цветом одинаковые?

    • @TimVanRoy
      @TimVanRoy  Рік тому +1

      Да, у меня есть два Martin (модели J40), которыми я владею уже много лет… и они звучат великолепно! Цвет у одного немного более глубокий, чем у другого, так что ваши глаза вас не обманывают!

    I'm just curious, how much time it takes you to learn this song and play it perfectly? Did you learn it by ear or tabs? Thanks!

      Hi Petra! I've been through all the messages and complete cleared out the Patreon and website inbox. I'm afraid I didn't receive your message. If you are still having issues, please resend it so we can get to the issue! Kind regards, Tim

      Indeed, it's a camera mount called a Magnet! I discovered it on the site of Toy Grady. So great to be able to show more detailed fingerpicking now!
