Original fingerstyle guitar tunes and covers
Hi... thanks for visiting my channel.
After being away from RUclips for a long while I returned in June 2024 to post a collection of original fingerstyle compositions - "Fretboard Reflections" - visible as a separate playlist/podcast on my home page. My aim was to create tuneful, interesting pieces that people might want to play. They are a little challenging occasionally but hopefully not too difficult with a bit of effort. The tab for all of them will be on my Patreon soon, some are already there.
Having completed that project I am posting one new video every week.. whether that be a cover or an original or some other sort of topical video including walkthroughs of some of my tunes. I also aim to keep posting on my community page so feel free to join in as I love to chat all things guitar.
Hope you stick around by subscribing..

Harry Lime Theme ( from the film the Third Man ) - fingerstyle cover
Title says it all.. this has been in my repertoire since the late 70's !
This appear in the the film "The Third Man " and is the theme for the Harry Lime character .. the original is played on a zither and I really should have included more vibrato to emulate that, but it had been a little bit of a struggle to remember it and I wanted to get it down before I forgot it again !
It is in dropped D/G tuning, possibly my favourite even though I don't use it that often, it is super versatile and has a unique sound.
I haven't tabbed this..

Alice's Orchard - Original fingerstyle composition for Halloween
Просмотров 56День назад
A little original tune that I named in honour of a spooky incident when staying in an orchard in Cornwall and Alice Cooper, one of my guilty pleasures. I wrote it a couple of years ago and was going to include in the "Fretboard Reflections" collection but I decided to save it for Halloween. Which is why I am wearing shorts in late October, it was filmed in the Summer ! Tab is on my Patreon page...
The Ghost Of Robert Johnson - By Ralph McTell - Cover
Просмотров 15814 дней назад
I play a lot of my favourite songs either as instrumentals, or use the guitar part as an instrumental in its own right, and this haunting Ralph McTell song about the blues great Robert Johnson is one of them. It seemed sort of fitting for Halloween so here it is ! The original recording features Ralph's always marvellous lyrics.. I might feel moved to do a vocal cover of the actual song one day...
The Easy Winners - Scott Joplin cover
Просмотров 16614 дней назад
A classic rag by Scott Joplin, in the key of A for the first two sections before a change to D flat for the second two. As I always do, for videos I have shortened it by missing out the repeats .. he normally has an intro AA BB CC DD scheme , occasionally with an interlude, but I play it as intro A B C D ... I have played this for many years and somehow remember it, but without any referral to ...
Just Don't Feel The Same - Fun on the D-28
Просмотров 11614 дней назад
Sometimes it is just fun to have a blast on the D-28 - this was a self-composed song I used to play years ago although I doubt it is actually very original, apart from the words .. I have always liked bashing it out now and again... makes a change from being intricate/delicate .... can be a nail-breaker though ! #martinguitar #blues #fingerstyle #acousticguitar

Love playing this, especially the opening section that I also add as a closing section, the rest of it is fairly straightforward but lovely to play. It is dropped D... #fingerstyle #acousticguitar #thescript #popmusic
Plainsong - John Renbourn Fingerstyle Cover
Просмотров 8921 день назад
My rendition from memory of a Renbourn classic from his first album. When I stumbled across it all those years ago it blew me away, it was one of my greatest pleasures to eventually start to be able to make passable attempts at all the wonderful tunes. Once I work out a tune I don't like listening to the originals anymore, so no doubt I have deviated somewhat over time but I love playing this. ...
Hit The Road Jack - Cover

I teased an in progress version of this .. here is the full video.. The great Ray Charles number, with the same descending bass line used in many tunes such as "Anji "and "Judy", by Bert Jansch and John Renbourn respectively, that I have previously covered. This arrangement of mine fools around with one by Ulli Boergerhausen rather than mixing it with elements of the aforemention "Anji" as Ulli...
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - fingerstyle cover
Просмотров 13828 дней назад
Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the classic movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid" this just begs to be played fingerstyle on a guitar , and I have been playing versions of it since way back. Who can forget the scene from the movie with Robert Redford and wotsherface riding around on the bike whilst this played ....
Autumn Leaves - fingerstyle cover
Просмотров 301Месяц назад
This arrangement is unashamedly based on Clive Carroll's, he of the absolutely brilliant technique and feel. I don't know if he recorded it anywhere but I saw a video of him playing it as a demo of a guitar in a store. I set out to learn it but found the fingering impossible for me , to get clean anyway, so adapted it to suit my ageing and less adept fingers ! I love playing it ...and try not t...
Don't Worry, Be Happy

To celebrate reaching 1k followers on Tik-Tok this afternoon, I thought I would dust this jolly Bobby McFerrin song off.. because it has the word happy in the title. For the last three weeks - almost - I have been posting shortened versions of the videos I post here. They have been a big surprise as they are garnering many thousands of likes and views. Reaching 1k followers means that I can do ...
That'll Do Babe - Ralph Mctell - Cover
Просмотров 283Месяц назад
I teased a little video recently of me trying to remember how to play this .. this is the result of a a bit of practice ! It is a satisfying little tune, offering lots of opportunity to put your own stamp on it. Ralph describes it as a tribute to comic legend Oliver Hardy, who was reputedly light on his feet and a favourite dance partner among ladies at star-studded balls. I was going to schedu...

Oh my goodness! I absolutely Love new strings!! You have to give us a tutorial!! I get nervous when taking my guitar apart! 😆 Keep up the amazing work! 🤗
i did consider doing a tutorial, and i have been asked by other people too, so i will do it😀 A common discussion is whether to do all strings at the same time, as I do in this video, or one at a time.. i will highlights to pros and cons of either approach 👍
Nothing more satisfying than new strings
You forgot to swear profusely as the strings poke into your fingers winding them on
😂 oh man… and doesn’t it hurt 😮😢
@@AlllanPoyner oh the swearing!! Talking to the guitar like its your worse enemy. Implying that my guitar was born out of wedlock!! And has marital relations with its mother.
Sounds Really nice 👍
