  • My voice has been trashed due to some cold that decided to pop up…but here’s one of my all-time favorite tunes. I don’t mess around with open tunings (or fingerpicks) much at all, so it’s fun to do that from time to time.
    This is my Yamaha FG-9R guitar with D’Addario XS Strings (medium gauge)

      ​@@jaygatsby1I prefer Trey's version due to the guitar playing and it's more in line with the blues than a bluegrass version of the song.

    Sometimes, the human singing voice can be positively affected by having a touch of a cold. It certainly can add a bit more of a gravelly low register to your voice that isn't normally present.
    Your Yamaha guitar really rings out well and resonates using an open tuning. What tuning are you using.
    While you got the cold, now's the time for trying to sing some Randy Travis! 😎😆

    Great arrangement, Trey. Love the back and forth with this slide, I share your delight in that triplet run after "I ain't worried". (You gave it away at 2:14).
    I used to love hearing Geoff Bartley play this tune at the Cantab in Cambridge Massachusetts. Have you heard Geoff's stuff? Great (and underrated) fingerstyle guitarist.

    I mean no disrespect to Doc Watson because i love his music.. but i actually like this version more than Doc's rendition. That says alot. Someday when i can afford lessons i'll pay you trey for lessons. I already know how to flat pick but i would want the lessons mostly to learn how to improvise and play more licks.

  • @garydunlap6532
    @garydunlap6532 Рік тому

    Used to think Doc’s version was the best. Not anymore. You are a fine player. Not many blazing flat pickers around that finger-style Travis stuff, slide, open tunings. Hoping you win IBMA guitarist this year. Way overdue.
