Terrific songwriter/guitarist/singer. I regret the years of my life I didn't know about James McMurtry. Just saw him (solo) a few months back. Good as ever. (And Music Fog - what a treasure of performances - thanks.)
He is the first guitarist that I have seen play on the strings and frets before the capo. Saw him in concert the other night and he played this song. His guitar work is equaling his lyrics. Can't wait for new music.
@@ChymicalWeddings Took me over a decade (off and on LOL) to decode the tuning of this song so I could play it. It is a variant of Open C. CCGCEG as strummed. 6th string down 2 full steps, 5th & 1st down 1 full step. Capo across 1-5 at the 5th fret. Once I got that, all the riffs are right there.
@@brianeshnaur9691 Thank you for this. So what’s he tuning to while he plays? I don’t believe he’s slipping out of tune - so he’s going somewhere. He’s so good!
He is just so *uck*** awesome.Texas finest. Saw him Friday night @ The Kessler almost didn't go. Bought ticket 'bout an hour before show time. SRO.Glad I did, because I can't grow up.
I swear, this is my tenth #1 favorite James McMurtry song.
He's fine tuning his guitar all the way through this song and doesn't miss a beat, class act.
I'll never grow up...love you James Mcmurtry
When guitar players like to hear you play, you know you're doing something right.

Great song writer and musician, so way underestimated. A realist with lyrics and song.
This guy is such a rare talent...this is an incredible version of this song! Thanks for posting!
This guy and especially this song.... just gets me
Just want to hug this old bastard. 2 of my favorite songs consist of him and his guild
Old... I beg your pardon. He looks great to me. Sounds even better.
Brilliant
Love this - another stone cold classic
Great great great
He is a great musician, and a great guy, met him in Hudson NY at his merchandise table.....Go James....:)

What tuning is this in?
Does anybody know what tuning this is ? I could never do this song as good as this but I’d like to try. Love this guy ❤️😎✌️
Se my post above, it's a variant of open C. Took forever to figure it out.
@@brianeshnaur9691 I think it’s C G D G B D
Thanks pal 😎
@ExpatBlues En zo is het!
another amazing performance, somehow makes his guitar sound like 4 guitars
Fuckin ace
(realness intensifies)
if everyone loves him, how come every time I see him it's mostly empty?
Should be illegal to play this good
My guitar did not come with those chords.
I think a thousand of these views are mine..
No, 1,000 of the super fine reviews are mine.
