  • Lefty frizzell would have been 92 years old today (March 31). I listen to him on a daily basis. This is not only my favorite Lefty song, this is my favorite song of all-time. Happy Birthday, Lefty...wherever you are.

    I’ve become obsessed with this song, that I had never heard before. You, sir, impress me mightily.

    This is unbelievable. I have never seen anyone who can sing this beautifully and play guitar with such emotion but also perfect technique. This is timeless stuff, Trey.

    Trey! It's a total shame if you haven't been discovered by now! You deserve to be in Nashville, and placing your foothold along all the other greats in country music! Modern day country music doesn't sound like this anymore! So, I'm going to pray that somebody somewhere hears your fantastic voice and playing that guitar! God Bless you young man!

    I come back here and listen to this at least three times a week. It starts out with me intending to just find some more stuff to steal from the solo, but I end up watching the whole thing every time.

    Trey if you haven't already had the pleasure of hearing Cash's acoustic version of this, you have the tone for it. It's on the 'Cash Unearthed' collection and the best version I've ever heard.

    • @therealbusterofbeards7565
      @therealbusterofbeards7565 3 роки тому

      He’s in drop D (possibly double drop d I’m not entirely sure) but you have to move up 2 frets on the low E string to play an open G in drop D tuning

      Do you run 13s, Trey? I’m trying but my wrist is giving out! Thanks! Love your work SO much.

    • @TreyAHensley
      @TreyAHensley  4 роки тому

      Jonathan Burton I do use 13’s on all of my guitars. I’ve really always used 13’s. I did try some “bluegrass gauge” strings from D’Addario recently, which are lights other than the 6th string. I didn’t really dig them...but I know some other players who use those. I think it’s a preference thing...you definitely get more volume and a thicker tone with heavier strings, but you can also work on tone with the thickness of your pick and your touch. It’s not all about the strings. Hopefully that helps! Thanks for the kind words, by the way!
