      @@MikesMusicMethod im a lurker, and almost never comment on anything, unless i feel like its something really special :D
      the work you put into your covers and lessons are extraordinary, and the fact you dont charge anything for your lessons, like many others who only upload the intro, and to get the rest of the lesson you have to pay. Much appreciated Mike.
      I think this one will fit my voice perfectly, and the melody is mesmerizing.. looks so fun to play!
      May you and your family have a merry christmas and a wonderful new year.
      cheers from Denmark :D

    Please don't think of this comment as criticism. Its not meant as that. Its just my ears and take on this version. Good guitar and singing. Period. That being said Townes always had an edge to his stuff. A rip your lungs out and eat your heart for lunch edge. To me this song is a heartache song. A man searching for a lost love. A man in pain hoping for relief from the pain in finding a lost love. This version is a very flowery sounding love song. I'm not saying its bad.... AT ALL. Good playing and singing, but I think it misses the mark of what the singer is trying to express. I dont hear pain in this. I hear love and hearts and flowers. Keep posting, I like what you do.

    • @MikesMusicMethod
      @MikesMusicMethod  Рік тому +1

      haha, Your observation is totally legit and keen. And thanks for the kind words. I'dd simply add that I'm not a depressed drunk! I wasn't attempting to get Townes' edge or sorrow and hurt because I dont want to dive that deep into the abyss to genuinely to express it! I'll keep my flowery version, and continue to pray that I always keep it. But i'm bragging. Let's be honest, even if I was a depressed mess...I was not blessed with the same voice as this man!! I know everyone loves his guitar playing and songwriting, but he is equally an incredible singer. The quality and nuance of his voice is fantastic.

    Nicely done Mike brought tears to my eyes. Was wondering if you'd take a look at some Fahey tunes next, possibly sligo river blues? Keep up the awesome work!

      Tears!? I dont know if that's what I was going for. And quit yanking my chain. Thanks though, appreciate that. And Yes! I owe my friend Chris in Alaska Sligo Blues for being a big and long time Patron despite her lame teacher's salary! ;) Yes, I'll do Sligo. Great tune.

    Nicely done! I play a standard tuning version of this, but yours has a deeper feel to it. Been watching your Mississippi John Hurt tutorials too, great!

    • @MikesMusicMethod
      @MikesMusicMethod  2 роки тому

      Nathan, thanks, man! And yes, my goal is not to just generate the chords or a "sounds close enough" tab. I'm trying to get deep in the weeds and get a tab as accurate as possible to the original. I think in the long run it makes us all way better players. Why not mimic the greats?
      And oh yeah! working on a few more MJH. He's got so many gems.
