This style of playing is exactly what Mark Knopfler introduced me to. He taught me a lot of these folk music kind of techniques that totally blew my mind back then.

Tommy Emmanuel is one of the very BEST guitarists I've EVER heard in my life. I had the opportunity to see him live once and even did a meet & greet with him as well. I had him sign my acoustic guitar and we took some pics...great experience all around as the concert was AMAZING as he's is absolutely PHENOMENAL live! Great video! :)

@georgewallace7844 2 года назад

Hello there Mr. Paul Davids, To borrow this moment, I have just recently followed your YT video’s , and will join the “acoustic adventure” course I am very excited about. I had some trouble sharing comments on the mini samples you’ve offered and wanted to comment here. 42yrs old American/Japanese raised in Japan, leaving my guitar collecting dust for 10+ yrs, and my oldest daughter, 13 this year wants to learn. A little research brought me to your channel, and thank you, you have 2 new students now 😉👍🏻 Love the way you teach , Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏

@RC32Smiths01 2 года назад

Highly enjoy the contrast in content between each consecutive level. Makes every one vital from beginner to advanced players, and I will always appreciate a nod to Chet Atkins haha.

@michaelcantu6071 2 года назад

Yes! Chet Atkins was one of the reasons I learned guitar and doesn’t get enough love. He truly is the father of guitar and fingerpicking.

@jamesbateman7131 2 года назад

So good to hear freight train played beautifully. Tommy, Chet, really any fingerstyle player would have been proud to hear you play those with flair whilst keeping to the melody. Love your work Paul, all the way from Australia. P.S. That Collings sounds gorgeous.

@collinw1353 2 года назад

Sometimes I just let my fingers loose and they do what they want and I'm surprised how good it sounds. I've been playing for 40 years and there's a definite mental/physical release where my brain stops "thinking" and I just feel the music and my fingers do what I feel. Beginners won't understand this but after decades of playing it's like you hear something and your fingers just start playing it and you become one with the music. Like a connection between your heart/spirit and your body where the thinking part of your brain is bypassed. Those are the times when playing music becomes magical. Finger picking for me does this.

@hypnothang 2 года назад

@callline7183 2 года назад

I was fortunate to be one of the few that got in the initial test group for acoustic adventure. A year ago i think. I would highly recommend it. It takes time and effort but it has helped me to improve and get exposure to a wide variety of styles and techniques. I would highly recommend getting the pdf of the tabs printed which allows practice without having to login every time. The videos tell you what to do, then it takes time with the tabs to get the hang of it.

That song indeed goes up to level 6. Some others songs can be brought to level 10 or 12 but this song serves your point very well. I enjoy all your vids. They are always very relevant and agreeable. My daughter, who plays guitar to an advanced level, asked me once “do you know Paul Davids?” and I answered “who doesn’t?”. 😄

@StaceJohnson 2 года назад

How did I go 56 years (and almost 40 years as a folkish fingerstyle player) without knowing Elizabeth Cotten's history?! Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hold, Paul! I'm working up my own version of this, though it will be pale in comparison to either your or Libba's.
