The love you have for music is just so so refreshing it just exudes from your soul Danny. Boy I would love to play with you. If you're ever in North Carolina or southern Virginia let me know my friend there's a spot on my PA open and ready for you any time
@@dannyeddyguitar It's ok. The tutorial is so good that there is no problem. The chorus is easy to understand by hearing the song, just I wasn't sure if there is another video or something (like part 2). But it's ok
Thank you for this video. "Closing time" is my favourite Tom Waits's album and it's a pity he decided to stop performing it not long after its release. I read an old interview about this fact - interview that I've never managed to find again - where he said that he doesn't really like that much anymore: he said something like "It was my fist album and those songs where soaked with a sense of ..." but I don't remember what he was talking about. Anyway, this song is a gem.
Thanks for this detailed info on this my favorite song to play on guitar. More of these tips on the right details in beautiful songs. Remember when i finally learned this song i thought, now i can die happy!
@@dannyeddyguitar All the thanks should be directed your way man. Is there any way we could get the tab you used for this song? Also, is there any variation of the chords at the end of each verse in Tom's guitar part? Cheers :)
How the hell do you know so much about Tom Waits? I loved the video about the guitarists who've worked with Tom, this is great too, please do as many of these as you like, good on you
This is such a wonderful, great, helpful video. I loved the details on what else was going on in the song, not just what Tom was playing. And the background on those other musicians. Thank you so much for giving me the details on how to play the song. This is one of those songs that seems pretty simple (the good old I, IV, V as you say) but there are a lot of subtleties in Tom's playing that are not readily apparent and that I doubt I would have been able to get on my own. So thank you for this. It's much appreciated. P.S. The first verse of this song showed up in the new movie "Flora and Son" on Apple TV which is where I thought to try and learn it.
best examples of Toms early finger picking were those albums "Tom Waits early years vol 1 and 2"..just bare bones demos done before his first album i believe..the demo version of Ol55 is far superior than what was on his first album..their amongst his best i reckon. I hope that i don't fall etc..is better on the demo
@@dannyeddyguitar Check out ua-cam.com/video/EtLVXBqfqBY/v-deo.html where it's in D. Funny one. I guess it wouldn't be the first time an artist changed the key of a song, post-recording. Anyway, nothing a capo can't fix ;-) Your videos are excellent. Cheers.
@@declankenny5290 Ahh yes, that's an early demo I believe. Those 'Early Years' volumes contains recordings from before he made Closing Time. But you're spot on - that's in D!
Danny I just found this live solo acoustic version from Waits' UA-cam site circa 1973!!! Very cool ua-cam.com/video/T68wllD2cG0/v-deo.htmlsi=-MqsDTjwAU1CmWU_

Perfect analisys! Please do more of Tom's songs that way!
Thanks Agnieszka. I'll do my best!
I've been playing this song for nearly 30 years. thanks for this.
It's amazing the quality and diversity of musician that Tom has attracted.
Cheers Jerry!

Jerry I see you seem to have a lot of music on your YT page-any stuff of you playing some of these great songs?
Your videos make me appreciate Tom's music way more than i did, as if that was actually possible.
Now, THAT'S a win!!
Great teacher and historian.
Thank you so much, Adrian.

Thanks so much, Jim. I'll definitely keep your offer in mind, if I ever get the opportunity to travel to the States.
@@dannyeddyguitar There's a very cool bar I play in southern Virginia called Buggs Island that you would fit right in at.
What a great lesson and insight into what's goin on within the song..brilliant..Thank you 😎🙌
My absolute pleasure, Paddy!
Wow! That was a real tutorial! You are an amazing teacher and as it seems also an amazing person. Thank you 🙏❤
Thanks so much for that beautiful comment! So glad you got something out of this.
@@dannyeddyguitar I got only one question. What is the chorus??
But it's ok, I figured it out 👍
Ahhhh! Sorry - only just saw this. I apologise - my tutorial focuses more on the technical aspects, somewhat neglecting the actual arrangement, d'oh!
@@dannyeddyguitar It's ok. The tutorial is so good that there is no problem. The chorus is easy to understand by hearing the song, just I wasn't sure if there is another video or something (like part 2). But it's ok
Great lesson very documented and complete. I love it.
Thanks, Lucky D!
Fantastic job Danny. One of my favourite Tom ballads. Thank you. I’m just a harmonica guy but your knowledge and expertise is fascinating.
Thanks heaps David! "Just a harmonica guy" says Dave. Coolest instrument ever. Wails like a wild tempest. Fits on your pocket!

Wow, I didn't know that. I suppose many artists move on quite a lot from their first release. But I think it's a beautiful album!
@@dannyeddyguitar I'm sorry I can't be more precise but I tried in every way to remember the missing part of the interview without result.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to illustrate everything so well!
You are so welcome, Steph!

Hi, is there a download for the tabs?
Printable Tabs may be found via my Patreon.
Ah found it on patreon! Thank you!
What about "Whistle Down the Wind" tutorial?
Under consideration. ;)
This is the first song I learnt to play and sing at the same time. Now I can finally learn to play it properly 😂
Songs like this never get tired, do they?!
@@dannyeddyguitar timeless
best examples of Toms early finger picking were those albums "Tom Waits early years vol 1 and 2"..just bare bones demos done before his first album i believe..the demo version of Ol55 is far superior than what was on his first album..their amongst his best i reckon. I hope that i don't fall etc..is better on the demo
Great tip! I'll definitely be going back to those demos for another listen.
Lovely stuff, though I’m just listening to the original and it seems to be in the key of D.
Thanks. I just checked and the album version is definitely in C - C, F, G7...
@@dannyeddyguitar Check out ua-cam.com/video/EtLVXBqfqBY/v-deo.html where it's in D. Funny one. I guess it wouldn't be the first time an artist changed the key of a song, post-recording. Anyway, nothing a capo can't fix ;-) Your videos are excellent. Cheers.
@@declankenny5290 Ahh yes, that's an early demo I believe. Those 'Early Years' volumes contains recordings from before he made Closing Time.
But you're spot on - that's in D!
