Dave Rawlings - Guitar Power Acoustic 

He is better than a Jedi, but he damn sure knows how to use the force!

Do you not like the letter V?

+taparoo101 truly. I can listen to his lead lines all day long.

+taparoo101: Kenneth Pattengale, Milk Carton Kids, is sort of similar. Full of chromatic lines.

+T Brooks yes, this is why his playing is often described as "Rawlings-like."

yeah , i loove the notes and at the same time what i like is that when youve played it evaporates in the air... even Guthrie Govan says that speed is byproduct of practising...I like his guitaring but not the fast staccato fusion thangs...my approach is kinda ............i just turned 54 and ive played more or less since 16 ( as a passionate hobby)and i see my pattern : to express my feelings bout whats goin on...( ive written many songs)lately due to hand injury i struggle to keep my strats in e tune octave low, theyre ok! its funny how an old cheap Epi from 20s with new Daddario strings sound: i heard it right away...a biiit harsh even for me, BUT look whos talkin: i have three strats and even tho the b an e strings ringalittlewithout the string tree i play them ( its not so noticeable theyre electric) without the string trees ...! its funny how the heavymetal players play with active pickups compressing almost every human touch, while in real life theres always little sounds goin on indicating that youre alive! hop along taparoo!

I couldn't agree more! Such an incredible sound and player.

Same here, more or less... Wanted to find out a bit more about this magnificent guitarist Dave Rawlings, after I 'discovered' Gillian Welch. Whom in turn I found out about through the all-ladies band 'Red Molly' who plays a fantastic version of Gillian's 'Caleb Meyer'. Red Molly I came across just a few months earlier, when 'cruising' RU-vid for 'ladies country/folk singers'. And so one thing leads to another, but that ís 'The Way It Goes' on RU-vid... Love it ! Downside is only that after hearing Rawlings play, I feel like throwing my guitar in the fire and start a new hobby like collecting stamps or so...

I started playing at 37, and it changed my life. Best thing I ever did.

Started picking up a guitar at 12, started playing at 15, played a right-handed guitar "upside-down" (I'm a lefty) and did okay until I was about 37 or 38, when Matt Umanov persuaded me to get one of my righty gitboxes restrung. Then I really started playing! Made a big difference. Dave Rawlings is one of my heroes ... find a live version of him and Gillian Welch playing "Look at Miss Ohio" and watch his solos...

I'm 25 and just started! Thanks for the encouragement :)

Never too late to start any instrument. We probably have many potential talents in us that we will never discover. I started playing piano informally (no theory or lessons etc.) only two years ago at age 21 after years of guitar playing and it seems I'm already better than I am at guitar. It helps though to have a good understanding of music though if one wants to master an instrument. But learning even some guitar can open to door to other musical instruments. An instrument that is satisfying to play, as in it's sound quality and feel is a huge benefit as well.

I would say 16 is late for someone who ends up becoming a world class guitarists. If you want to learn Heart of Gold and play it in your livingroom then you can and should start anytime.

One of the best voices too.

Yes, it was truly beautiful. I’ve only just discovered this guy - this is the first I’ve heard of him. I see more RU-vid time in my future!

wait for it: therell be an Epiphone and Daddario Dave Rawlings signature model , hard case not included...ha? luv K

Brian, Check out Jackie Greene

Good ear! It sounds like it to me. Same key and tempo pretty much

Literally jaw dropping. Could not believe that.

Jacques Palermo is this just a jam?? What’s the song?

+Todd Boden Oh wow.

+Todd Boden I was thinking the same thing the whole time. After the video I scroll down to read the comments and this is the first thing I see.

He does sound like him.

thats hilarious, it took your insight for me to gain mine. but thank you.

wow you're right! I knew his voice reminded me of someone.

Grater spelling.

nah it was a good balance - i didn't feel he was interrupted at all - i think you're just chompin the bit a lil bit

casey likely made the comment while watching the start of the video, the interviewer settled in after that.

It makes it interesting to have an interviewer talk semi freely. Makes it seem like two buds jamming and talking

Everyones a critic on the worst comment site of all time.

@@hacheyeh I dunno. I'm at 7 minutes and Dave just got interrupted in the middle of a story uggh

I thought the same. Such a beautiful song. Odd that they would do that though ,but then, maybe not so odd.

+verdanturf ONE PUNCH!!!

I doubt it

Sounds a lot like a song by the name of Michigan by the Milk Carton Kids

Yeah, sounds about right. Thank you so much David.

You are very welcome!

@@stephanfischer Don't think it's Michigan. It's "I Dream A Highway" by Gillian Welch. The Milk Carton Kids just ripped it off.

Could it be that they don't appreciate a host who has diarrhea of the mouth? I don't think it has anything to do with guitars.

No, it's not. Did you fail to notice that Jackie Green rarely shut his fucking mouth?
