wonderful: There's something magical about Ian Anderson's guitar playing. The artistic use of this instrument is unique. That's why I enjoy every moment of this video.

[@paulforrest5770]

I absolutely agree. That's why it's important to get it right. the Tull is in the details!

[@dans2628]

Love the tutorials and enjoyed the acoustic performance the other day. Any chance you could do a Tull tutorial for mandolin?

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Dan! We'll see what we can do! 🙂

[@paulforrest5770]

Thanks Dans. Sure, in the future I will be doing lots more of these, stay tuned.

Thank God for reruns. I use a Luna Phoenix with a slightly smaller neck. Your walking us thru is a huge help. Thanks Paul

[@paulforrest5770]

It's not a rerun. It's a borrowed, original and unpaid for instrument. 😁😁

[@AdamJ.Wright]

Great stuff! Any chance of Tull flute tutorials? That would be amazing!

[@marcieforrest6658]

Hey Adam, let us know which songs/passages you'd be interested in learning, and I'll see what I can do!

[@AdamJ.Wright]

Hi Marcie. Thanks for replying. I have a long list of Tull songs I’d love to learn the flute parts for. :)
I’ll just pull these out of the list…
With You There to Help Me
Rover
Jack in the Green
…And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps
Various parts of Thick As A Brick, especially Childhood Heroes, and Believe in the Day.
I learned the flute because I have been a Tull fan nearly all my life. Then I discovered there is very little sheet music for the flute parts. Do you learn them by ear? If so, that’s incredible!

@@AdamJ.Wright thanks for your comment. Sorry I didn't write back sooner. Yes, I learned all of these flute parts by ear.

@@juliusfugenstein2851 thanks for your comment, Julius. Since Paul learned these songs completely by ear, there are no tablatures available.
