    I worked out a 3-string arrangement of this song years ago, and I've been getting requests for a 6-string arrangement, so I tuning this PRS AX20E down to Open Dm & transformed my 3-string version into one for 6-string. I love doing this song in an open tuning, because I can keep the drone rhythm part going, while snaking the melody up and down the fretboard in either single notes or octaves.

      Hello Justin. I know you probably get thousands of requests. I absolutely love your playing and am very curious to hear you play the haunting guitar leads from Wreck of the Edmunds Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. If you could cover that it would be like a dream come true.
      Thank you for all your incredibly talented guitar videos. Very soothing and inspiring

    when someone's music reaches the level where you don't even want to suggest songs for them to cover because you know that anything they do is going to blow you away...

    What an exquisite arrangement! How does one guy manage to make six strings sound like a full on orchestra! I originally thought this man's fingers were gifted but now I realise the magic resides up in his cranium where he's able to feel and translate the melancholy of this particular piece then relay this to the strings with all the subtle accents and inflections to tell the story. So whilst this rendition is an instrumental with no lyrics, every nuanced note speaks a thousand words and relays the mood of the original. Quite, quite mesmerizing.

      This perfectly describes how I felt the first time I heard JJ play. I've never heard another musician speak a thousand words during a song without ever opening their mouth, it's over of the most spectacular things I've ever witnessed

    This gives an edge and a heaviness to Eleanor Rigby with that bottom end thrown in there.

    Justin, my wife and I have enjoyed Beatle songs since the 1960s. We have never been moved as much as your arrangements, your interpretation of the emotions that this piece is meant to convey. We are in our 70s and your performance is the most meaningful in all of the years. Wow. We thank you.

  • @celticfury7328
    @celticfury7328 3 года назад +12

    Anyone else hear those moroseful, melancholy lyrics not in your head, but literally in Justin's playing? I love it when he does that, and he does it like nobody else!❤️

    The lead sheet for this wonderful piece is a great start.
    Then if you look a Justin's Tab on the musicnotes for a bit more money you get the most extraordinary version of it.
    Even if like me it's too much skill to perform it the inspiration is off the scale.
    Brilliant!
