@@thefishinmusician801 I still haven't finished the video (I'm a slow learner), but: 1. Starting the video with playing the piece instead of talking for 2 minutes - so I know if this is what I'm looking for. 2. No cuts - feels like a real guitar lesson and feels you 100% know what you're doing!! 3. Very valuable insights like the one how it's not crucial to play all the fill notes 100% like on the record, and that he was probably improvising, and listening to the rhythm of the phrase. cheers!

You sir are a great teacher, possessed of tremendous patience and feel for detail and phrasing. This song always felt to me a lot like a prayer, like a voice speaking softly, it has a certain cadence that reminds me of that. I've listened to it over and over but I've never been able to quite parse it the way you have in this video, and I'm very thankful for what you've done here. One of the best ways to introduce humanity to the aliens, if that ever happens.

I am new here. Got me a resonator, but sliding feels difficult in practice. Tending to stop and quit. With this video inspiration came over me. But, the strings are hard, high gauge. What do you use? I hope I will succeed playing on this reso with this piece. Your lesson and pace of explanation have to do it.........😅😅😅

@@thefishinmusician801 awesome, thanks a lot! I’ve been wanting to learn this song for a long time, I just found your other video with the first vocal verse. I’ll dig into all of it more but i think i need to get a new guitar (I’ve said THAT before!) with higher action. I’m just starting to learn slide and i keep hitting the frets. If you ever decide to just do a cover of the whole song I’ll be watching! Anyway, you’ve got a new subscriber

@@Electric_Funeral Luckily some of the best guitars for slide are easy on the pocket book. Unless you are searching for a resonator. Although, there are budget friendly reso's too! Anyway, look into 50's 60's acoustics that are NOT solid top. They usually have a good stinging mid range tone perfect for slide and often already have a bit higher action. Kay, Harmony are always good. I also give lessons online if you ever want some extra help. Always happy to answer question anytime too so don't hesitate to reach out.

Once i see if i am any good at slide I might upgrade then. But in the past I’ve always gotten discouraged from all the noise I made hitting the frets since I keep my action so low on all my guitars.
