Gottfried David Gfrerer hi Gottfried, the reason I love your version mate is because the song basically is not meant to be a song you jam on or see how many licks you can put into it. You letting the song breathe I think, helps retain its intentional meaning. The song is about the lyrics and when you read about the authors life and the grace God showed that man, you just don't want to be distracted by extraneous extra notes. Nicely done and it's beautiful sounding National Steel. I hope you have a great New Year mate. ❤️🙏

PS I hope I didn't rave too much.😂

Thank you! Cheers from Carinthia, Austria.

That's interesting to hear, thank you so very much!

True, although to me the tone of that resonator sounds closer to a veena than a sitar. Beautiful sliding, in any case.

Thanks Mick!

@@gottfriedgfrerer I started off playing classic rock jazz, and folk music. Eventually I started playing more modern rock and metal, but that was just because the band I was in went that direction. Over the last few years I've been listening to alot of bluegrass and decided I wanted to learn to play with a slide...it looked easy at first because it's all open tuning but then you start playing and realize you need to do alot more work with your picking hand than before...it's kind of backwards from how I've learned so far...it was all about moving the other hand and fingers faster to hit more notes, now it's more stationary but you have to be MUCH more accurate with your picking and each finger can be at their own tempo... I watched some of your other videos too before my first comment, so if you have any tips I'd really appreciate it...

@@joshwiltgen7209 You are absolutely right - playing slide guitar is a little bit like flying a helicopter. Right and left hand damping is very important for a clean sound and there is an endless range of microtones in between two notes, which can change the mood of a tune dramatically. Playing a lot is the key :-)

Thanks...I'll try to do the best I can!

Thanks a lot, I am very pleased!

Matthew, thank you so much!

Thank you so very much for your kind words about my music!

Thanks Graham, maybe I will do a tutorial in the future. BTW you can download the TAB from my website for free.

Hey Andrew, thanks for letting me know - looks like the TAB disappeared from my website. I will fix that in the next couple of days, so please check again.

Thank you!
