    every guitar player knows that if you drop a pick, a wormhole spontaneously opens up to transport it to a point in time in the future where you find it again. that's why they look exactly the same as when you lost it.

And, it's not the thematic that bugs me. The actual lyrics does. It's like listening to scar tissue with suck my kiss lyrics. Doesn't fit. At least imo.

  • @stevelogan1699
    @stevelogan1699 5 років тому +2

    Brilliantly played, as usual, Paul. I was thinking in the earlier stage of this video that what makes it good is not only the excellence of your technique but the feeling that you put into the songs, so that they are far more than just exercises and keep some of the qualities that made them famous. I wasn’t so sure about that second point as the video progressed. This, I think, is because the filtering process that allows songs to become classics takes a bit of time. The word ‘classic’, commonly used as a synonym for ‘much liked by me’, implies that a lot of people over time have felt a particular way about something. (‘Iconic’ sidesteps this issue a bit!). The earlier songs have all in different ways proved themselves. Many of the later ones are still on the threshing floor. I guess that ‘hit’ catches the shift: many great songs have been hits, but not all hits are great songs. Interesting how little Dylan (say) has figured in the pop charts which wouldn’t be the same without his influence. I don’t think he’s ever had a UK number one single, not even with ‘Like a Rolling Stone’. So as you went forward the beauty of your playing was still completely there, but some of those songs might be more of a challenge to really love. Thanks as always for your artistry, great humour and some of the best video editing I’ve seen in the guitar sections of UA-cam.

      Just sad that you gotta get that 5th string in a high C and you gotta have that capo tip cut off. That means you can't show it on other peoples guitars without risking to break there string. And if you got it there, you also need to break their capo to play it. But let me say it is so satisfying to play that tune by yourself, so in the end it is all worth it.

    Nearly every time someone makes reference to Hallelujah, they make reference to Buckley’s version, why? At least this was S&G’s Sound of Silence.

    • @FlynnesterGates
      @FlynnesterGates 4 роки тому +4

      I think its wildly considered the more popular version of the song, not that the original wasn't popular on its own. Same with the song Hurt, the Jonny Cash version is usually considered more popular than the original.

      Well, that's an easy explanation: Simon plays guitar (left-guy) and sings (right-guy). But the orchestration missed the Garfunkel harmony, so I decided to add the 3rd one later on to make it even nicer sounding :) Well spotted!

      Can't be unfair to everyone else. There are plenty of deserving groups and artists out there, you know? Heck, Mason Williams, Chet Atkins, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, and so many more were left off the list. At least he picked one Fleetwood Mac song, you know?

  • @jimmynikriket848

      Emmanuel is fantastic, no doubt, but IMO Mason William's original version is the iconic one, and if you're going to put one up there, thats the one.

      everybody supernova I was thinking the same thing. There are so many good examples: "Tomorrow, Tomorrow", "Angeles", "Southern Belle", and especially "Almost Over". I'm glad those "iconic" songs that I've never heard or heard of made the list though. What about Iron & Wine? The majority is finger-picked and were more popular than any Elliott Smith song. Failed top 25.

      As much as I love Elliott, he was barely popular enough to be recognized by musicians themselves, let alone the laymen that make up "pop culture." Easily my favorite alt songwriter, but hardly popular enough to make the list unfortunately
