One of the most underrated guitarists. I'm sad to see that this song doesn't have as much views as songs like country roads. A forgotten treasure
We got Billy Strings my friend, I’ll take that to the bank.
@@dwightcrooks4976 actually never heard of that guy but thanks for telling me sounds good
Try Bob Wills.
Try Doc Watson Tennessee Stud.
I'm learning know to play it! :) Incredible song, let's keep it alive!
Doc was a true master. I miss him.
Don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree! Just great advice for anybody!
Your sadly missed, Doc. Thankfully Billy Strings has picked up the torch and ran with it.
Doc passed it to Grateful Dead then they passed it to Strings . 🎸
*you're
I would not compare a garage
band and a stunning young
Guitar player to a National
Treasure. Doc's touch, rich voice and human warmth are
on another level. We can only
appreciate all artists for what
they offered enriching our lives
@@ruggerobelloni4743 A garage band? Really? What could possibly possess you to diminish them in this way?
@@MedSurg420 I apologize for
a rude comment. The Deadheads
I jammed with in Boston.and San
Diego used the term "The best
garage band ever" on account of
the eclectic and varied repertoire
I prefer tradtional versions, e.g.
the Skip James and Willie Johnson
modern takes in Scorsese's movies
drive me up the wall. Pete Seeger said that a Chef may be trying hard
to express himself but our stomach
might not agree. Garcia was a very
accomplished banjoist and loved
old time stuff so he never strayed
as far as the guys who butchered
Skip's and Willie's songs.
Was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
And now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
She called me up from down in El Paso
She said "Come back, daddy, ooh, I need you so"
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
If you don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
And get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
And don't you come here runnin', holdin' out your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman like you got your man
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
It was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

To my dad Watt A Gee
What's the time signature and BPM of this song, could someone tell me, need to know for a project
It’s probably plain 4/4 time technically, but since the flat-picking has a chugging rhythm, so I’d write it as 2/2 (cut time). And just in my head I’d say BPM is 88-90
@@SneakyCheeseThiefThanks for that 🎉
@@PaddyByrne931 you’re very welcome! - by the way, I checked out some of your music on your channel. You’ve got a great voice for stripped down guitar - almost Elvis Costello nasally on that She Knows cover; and really gritty in that song “love will not conquer” or whatever it’s called. I love the lyrics to that. Did you write it - or take it from an Irish ballad perhaps. I recall a brief run I found in an old book of songs from the early 1800s that goes:
“My love was handsome, tall, and young,
Genteel his gait, yet manly strong, and
O! Sweetest language grac’d his tongue”
Obviously these are words spoken by a women about a man, whereas your lyrics are spoken by a man about a women … and are less purely complimentary; but the whole series of idea phrase is remarkably similar.
Edit: I should add that while I am a musician, and a lover of history, poetry, and language, I don’t know a great deal about Irish ballads and their themes, except via Yeats and some lectures by Seamus Heaney I saw in the late 90s. So perhaps your song is just a development of a traditional Irish ballad in a typically Irish way. In which case I think it’s wonderful. The Scottish ballads we’ve passed down in my family are similar in their changes and reapplication. Anyway, cheers from New Orleans, USA
its180 BPM actually. bluegrass music you want to double up on the BPM to get that real Lively Rythm. don't listen to that other guy lol he probably doesn't know folk music lol
@@SneakyCheeseThief sorry on the late reply, I seen a local Irish ballad band play it, I just assumed it was old traditional song, thanks for having a listen to tunes, hello from Ireland
Farmer song
im farming goodwill and peace among men. does that count?
