- This is my version of Windy and Warm. I based it on the 1961 recording Chet made as well as an obscure video of Chet with John which I can no longer find. The guitar is a circa 1910 Stahl branded Larson.
Nice job. Not only did you capture this lovely tune but somehow worked in an accurate weather report for this anomalous February New England day. Bravo.
Thank you my friend
Tasty picking, Bill. Nice sound on that guitar.
Thanks very much - and thanks for watching!
That was great. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I truly appreciate them.
Bill, that was very nice! Based on this video I am sure sharing time with you in the living room or front porch must be pleasant indeed. Well done.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I’m glad you liked it.
Keep it up!
Nicely done! I read Tom's comments below, and I think my take on the composition is somewhat similar - the melodic line (if that's the right term) does not sound effortless to me. Maybe a little contrived? And yet, there are snippets of beautiful melody. You did a really nice job playing it. The composition reminds me of operas that have melodys in them just so the singer can show off their voice. But then again, I'm no expert!!! Despite my less than complimentary opinion of the composition, I enjoyed you playing it.
This piece is a finger style show off classic. Loudermilk wrote it with Chet Atkins in mind and it’s been performed by many, many guitarists. You and Tom are spot on about the lack of a cohesive melodic line. It’s probably worse in my version than in some others. I based this arrangement on a video Chet and John made early on, perhaps the first time ever. Chet actually sang the ascending bridge part, one not very well IMHO. I also screw around with the tempo often, according to how I’m feeling at the time. I still enjoy playing it.
Thanks so much for listening and your thoughtful comments
very well played
Thank you very much!
Great playing 👌🏼 just subscribed 😀
Thank you very much Andrew. Very much appreciated.
this is a piece of chopmeat with no sence of continuity. The form.....
What form? Person who composed it may have been interested to see how others make it work.As a musical puzzle.. I don't think he wanted to raise the bar, For him I think it was a simple muse and a bit of a musical joke. the drastic drop in temo, from allegro to adagio was as sudden as a guillotine. There was no preperation like a well exicuted rallantando. His themes are great and the non legato 1st theme was so crisp and and clean. Last recap. Of the 1st theme was wonderful with your contrasting allegro touch! So much more could be said. We should discus this strange edifice! Nice work for such a strane piece.
Sweet!
Thank you Frank
Nice one, Bill. 🎶👍
Thanks Chuck
Love it! This is on my short list to learn. I’d love to know what gear you use for recording. I’m planning to get into home recording.
Thank you Ian. For microphones I use a Royer R131 Ribbon mic as my main microphone and a RØDE NT1 for ambient room sound and some vocals. I run them through a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface into an iPad Pro. I use LumaFusion software for creating and mixing the videos and Garage Band for adding multiple tracks. If I’m going for very high quality video I use a Nikon D600 a for a camera. I hope this helps. It a lot of fun!
@@ParlorMan_Acoustic_Guitar Great! How do you set up your mic's if you're singing and playing at once? I'm planning to use a Focusrite and my iPad Pro. Your explanation is very helpful. Thank you!
@@iainbremner8909 All I do is bring the RØDE closer to me and at face level. It picks up the vocals well and the guitar as a background while the Royer does the opposite. I don’t know if recording pros would approve, but I like the results.
