the more i see of macyn taylor the more i think she has a photographic memory an a genius on top of that..i will never understand why she aint world famous..i love how she plays great guitatest long forgoten by the main stream media
The lick right after the big nicely done E string bend at ~4:45 is just amazingly cool and well-executed with the appropriate funk. This lady is truly one of those uber prodigies and I'm happy to see that. Leo will be proud! Kudos to Ms Macyn!!!
51MontyPython. She received a Bachelors at 17 and a Masters at 19 from UWM. One of her instructors was Leo Kottke. Yes, she took lessons, lots of them.
Macyn! you are awesome and inspiring! I'm an old aircraft mechanic and truck driver with a few guitars laying around and you inspire me to pick them up, thank you for your young enthusiasm and expertise! I forgot how fun it is to play! buggs
I can hardly believe that anyone beside Kottke himself is able to play this difficult piece - and in what a manner! The slowed down tempo doesn't matter, the mood of the piece is as if played be the master - by another master! Uwe, Tübingen, Germany
Macyn, you've become so incredibly good! i have been a fan for a long time. This is amazing, you mean every single note and they ring true. All of them.
You have a great sound.... but wow..an $8800 Petros guitar (base price)....James Taylor plays an Olson that is a few thousand dollars less... I thought I was indulging my daughter when I bought her a great old J50 Gibson...but this is a different class altogether.. Still.. can't keep her away from the blues now...Robert Johnson..Mayall..Humble Pie..Clapton..Savoy Brown. loves it all...and nails it. It's great to see kids like you' al coming back to this music.. keep going..great job!
busker12 I practice and practice and practice.Still trying to get my mustle memory working in my hand.My brain says almost the opposite of my hand..lol.I watch your hands while you play and study..Thank you
Love the slowed-down (relative to the original) feel. I find Kottke unlistenable b/c his tempo is just too fast for my human ears to enjoy, but this is beautiful. It makes the notes count.
Your playing reminds me alot of Charlie Byrd in that you seem to have a strong blues and classical influences. Its amazing to me. I would love to see you live.
Your playing is helluva inspirational! You do amazig things with Kottke music :))) Is it based on tabs from Stropes? Huh, It would be great to hear some reedition of Ragamuffin by Hedges some day… you was playing it stunning in the old video. I wonder how could it sound now. Anyway - mint playing!
Hi Macyn What tuning is this in??, i want to learn it for a music test at school!! do you know what the difference is between airproofing and airproofing two?? thanks! Alex
I am always "jaw dropped" when I see you play. I play too -- been playing for years... but I don't play like you can. Probably never will. I would pay to come watch you play... easily
I don't even like an acoustic guitar...I have been playin electrics for 40 yrs, but this gal makes me want to go and get one...or two...what is a busker?
I've been playing since I was seven. Every song has a different learning curve. Thanks for listening.
Anyone who takes on a kotke tune deserves praise.
Especially if they absolutely nail it .
Finding this made my day ... a supremely talented young woman playing my favorite Leo Kottke song!
I must have watched this performance over 50 times, and still it blows me away. It really is extraordinary.

I enjoyed that. It exceeded my expectations, having listened to the man so much.
all of these videos are amazing. Really wish you'd upload some new ones!!
I keep coming back to this and the fisherman you get better with age in all ways.

Macyn, you are awesome, I could sit and listen to you all day every day. thanks for sharing.
WOW!! You are simply put, AMAZING to both watch and listen to!! Thank you very much!!
Very impressive. Love Kottke. Great job.
The music can be found on stropes.com. The standard notation is there along with the tablature. Thanks for listening.
Macyn, stumbled on your guitar playing..awesome!!! Going to listen to some more! Kottke has been a big influence on my playing also. Cathy Horner
Incredible cover. Well done, thanks for sharing.
Macyn - you own the zone. Awesome.
This is truly an wonderful rendition of this tune. I am unaware of anyone who plays this one this well other than of course LK. Beautiful sound :)
One of my all time favorite Kottke tunes. Really enjoyed this. Very nice work, as always.
I was looking for kottke s version of it and I accidentally clicked on your cover of it . Made my evening .
Think I have watched all 45 of your videos, this one several times...amazing talent...best of luck to you in the future...
You go, girl! Excellent effort on an original Kottke tune! You're rocking me!
WOW. My hands hut just watching this!. Amazing. Not an easy song to play (believe me - I've tried (and failed)). Very impressed!
Macyn, you've become so incredibly good! i have been a fan for a long time. This is amazing, you mean every single note and they ring true. All of them.
Nice! It must have taken a long time to learn all of that! Thanks. 🙂
Love your playing. I've watched all your videos. So impressive. Have a good one.
This girl does a great job on Kottke songs. Not that she doesn't sound good on other songs, she does!
A much neglected talent, would love to see her live or even download or buy an album.
You have a great sound....
but wow..an $8800 Petros guitar (base price)....James Taylor plays an Olson that is a few thousand dollars less...

loves it all...and nails it.
It's great to see kids like you' al coming back to this music..
keep going..great job!
You make it look so easy. Great sounds in that basement.
This is absolutely astounding..I believe you can get as good as Paco.Or Tommy..Even Carlos...Beautiful playing..
Macyn you are amazing! Thanks for posting!
I REALLY like this song ... You do a FANTASTIC job with it as well ... I LOVE your playing ... :)
Standard tuning. They are different evolutions of the same song. "Airproofing Two" is a longer version.
busker12 I practice and practice and practice.Still trying to get my mustle memory working in my hand.My brain says almost the opposite of my hand..lol.I watch your hands while you play and study..Thank you
You're a very talented player! You make it look easy! Inspiring for me and others I'm sure.
Breathtaking !!!
This is so impressive! Great job, Macyn.
One of my favorites pieces
Yes, the tab is from Stropes. Thanks for the compliments. :)
You really nail the kottke sound and feel. Impressive!
Love the slowed-down (relative to the original) feel. I find Kottke unlistenable b/c his tempo is just too fast for my human ears to enjoy, but this is beautiful. It makes the notes count.
Bravo;
C'est une superbe interprétation pleine d'esprit !
This is my favorite of Kottke's songs. Great job! Please, keep playing. I wonder how fast you can play it now... :)
Macyn, you're awesome. Much love.
Seriously, I think I'm going to just put my guitars back into the closet now. You got skills girl. That was a real treat to hear.
Hello from Athens Greece. Your style is AMAZING !!!
Nice groove you have going there; especially important on this tune or it begins sounding repetitive. Nice clean double stops too. Good job!
Wow. Great playing!!
BEAUTIFUL!
Great to see you here!
again,... so nicely done. words don't really describe it so I'll just leave it at that. ;)
This video was over a year ago. What has happened with this very talented young lady? Would love to hear more of what she is doing now. Thanks you.
I dont remember when I subbed to you! but i see why i did!! your a legend!! amazing!! :D
glad to see you posting alot more recently =->
Excellent work!
I wish I could play half as good as you,can't wait until you come to the UK Cheers.............Dave.
Very nice : )
The entrance riff was very catchy :D
Lovely playing as usual.
Whoever taught you how to play must be great! your one of the best finger pickers ive seen since good ole Doc Watson!
Your playing reminds me alot of Charlie Byrd in that you seem to have a strong blues and classical influences. Its amazing to me. I would love to see you live.
Truly A - Macyn.
iwas having a real bad day, having to give up my dog after 10 good years but the day improved when i heard the fisherman played by you
Love this!!
WOW !! YOU GO GIRL!!!
very nice, hope to see you soon somewhere!
Your playing is incredible. Keep at it. I'm buying your CD once I get the money.
I hadn't listen to this before. You did more than stay with it the whole way through, it sounded second nature.
Your playing is helluva inspirational! You do amazig things with Kottke music :)))
Is it based on tabs from Stropes?
Huh, It would be great to hear some reedition of Ragamuffin by Hedges some day… you was playing it stunning in the old video. I wonder how could it sound now. Anyway - mint playing!
With Leo starting to get up there in years, maybe you could consider touring as his tribute band!
Nice! Nice! Nice! It sounded like I was listening to Leo himself. :-)
Awesome!
Nice job! Nice guitar!
really great !!!
very very good...compliments!
i love it big time
crazy good!
Thanks for letting me know that important info... cooking with gas means playing real well
This is a real musician.
GREAT job!!!
Superbe,
Tu joue plus avec ton cœur qu'avec tes doigts , continue !
PS: Bonne vidéo et bon son.
Absolutely kick-ass...pretty too.
Yes, but I grind the point down a little bit.
People tell you in many ways what they think of your playing. They are all right!!! "You will be known as one of the greats!!!!"
Very impressive
@intomuse Hm… I think it's why this version is so amusing. It sounds different but unique.
nicely done
Great!
awesome! keep it up:)
Hi Macyn
What tuning is this in??, i want to learn it for a music test at school!!
do you know what the difference is between airproofing and airproofing two??
thanks!
Alex
I am always "jaw dropped" when I see you play. I play too -- been playing for years... but I don't play like you can. Probably never will. I would pay to come watch you play... easily
How long have you been guitar? And how long do you practice for a hard song?
I don't even like an acoustic guitar...I have been playin electrics for 40 yrs, but this gal makes me want to go and get one...or two...what is a busker?
bart lewis a busker is any street musician
You are do smart. This is just amazing. I have the Stropes. I peed my pants to look at it.
Well done, Miss.
Great ! I thought it took balls to try a Leo Kottke song. I was wrong again. You could go far.
skillssss!
SO GOOD :-)
awesome
