snipe learning Give a little bit guitar lesson
PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.
Have been working on this since Neil came out with the lesson. This band has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Was especially interested if I was keeping pace with the original. The guitar is a Martin 12
Mike
Mike, I thought you did a very fine job with that. Your transitions were right on the money and your strumming was nice and relaxed. I like the barefoot mellow look as well I kept waiting for you to break out and sing this song as well. I agree that it is a great song for the 12 string.

Mike- NICE!!
Two coincidences here-
I've been working on this song since Neil put it up, and I was going to post it today as well. I got sidetracked, but I'm so glad to see another version of it- especially played on a Martin 12! That's the other coincidence.. The reason I was sidetracked was I went by my local music store today and was playing this song on a Martin 12 in there!
About your playing- very enjoyable and really solid strumming. I liked how you switched up the patterns at different parts of the song.
But I think you might do the same thing as me-- that is to speed up as you get closer to the end of the song.
One thing I missed in your version was in the very last bit where you slide your D-shape up and down before hitting the 14th fret. I go 2nd fret, 7th fret, 9th fret, 7th fret, 2nd fret THEN go to the 14th fret. Neil does a better job of explaining it than me.
Anyways, LOVED IT!
