It’s crazy when you find such a unique artist that is so passionate about what is obvious he loves-music. You can see he just feels it in his bones and his soul is so evident in his work! Love following such a talented musician!
Ben Rector is like a fine wine. He just keeps on getting better with age. He is probably one of the least recognized yet premier singer-songwriters of our time. I wish him the best possible success in all his endeavors. He deserves it!
Oh my goodness, I love! This makes me so wish there was an acoustic album! So incredibly talented. Great video - loved the giggles in the commentary, too. 😂
Great stuff as usual. I'm excited for your someday return to Colorado. Unless something bad happened last time you were like you ran out of air in the middle of a set or something like that. In which case I'll gladly head some place else to see your next gig out west. Keep making the tunes dude.
I wanted to know too. Been sitting here for hours copying his fingers but its completely off. It sounds like a C F G but it looks like he's playing a Db making this open C type chord. perhaps his guitar is tuned down a half step?
@@jtgrace10 The base line progression in the verse is C-E-F-G. I can't figure out the fingering either though :) EDIT: Given that he goes from open to 2nd fret to 3rd fret for the C-E-F part on the 6th string, one can assume that the guitar is tuned down by a whole step. Or at least we know that the 6th string is tuned to D. EDIT2: The guitar is downtuned by a whole step with the 1st string downtuned by an additional step, ie D-G-C-F-A-C. With him constantly holding down the 3rd fret on the 2nd string, you get that nice C-C on the first two strings.
