    One of my friends handed him a note at river road ice house and he played this song for my wife and I to dance to. I'll never forget that

    Damn, this guy knows how to play the guitar...especially an acoustic one. It takes true skill to play an acoustic the way he did

      I've been listening to this man since I was a child, most recently with my father in Austin Tx.
      By far one of my favorite musicians ever.

      ​@christianceja4085 I practiced this song so much the way he plays it from the video. I could only get the basics... idk how he can play it so clean with all the extra he added into it! I want th at 🎸 they make a Monte signature one but it's not like that one exactly o 5:13 r doesn't look 100 the same. The wear and tear makes it a one of a kind lol if they would have made it look aged I'd like it better. Still looking at about 3k for it.

      I'm not great at playing the guitar just mediocre. It's like I'm self taught so even if I'm not good I just keep playing until I improve over time... Like not having a skill but there's no harm in trying and learning new stuff then you're like just learning stuff off other people's covers... How can you stretch your hand out over four frets? Get a baby Taylor? I wear large to extra large gloves... Idk 10 years is a good band. If you look em up the acoustic set for the song wasteland it's great and beautiful is another good one too. I always look for acoustic versions of everything!

    I find myself returning to this quite often. It is such a powerful and gentle piece. Reminds me of so much of life. Regardless of how many accolades artists can be given, the rewards I look for is the feelings behind one's music. No one can fake integrity and emotion. Yet, if an artist does fake it, then they are simply not worth our time.

    @mhaynes9184 5 лет назад +9

    Really liked the way he works this tune. Messed around and started playing acoustic instead of my electric guitar because of him. Turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. The more acoustic I play, the better the electric playing gets without even practicing... Thanks Monte!

  • @mtburke55
    @mtburke55 13 лет назад +2

    All I have to say is this is the best rendition of this song I have ever seen/heard! I used to play this for my daughter when she was a baby, no not even close to this, but I shot this to my daughter on FaceBook so she could see how it was supposed to sound, LOL! The passion Monte puts into his singing and playing is a cut above the rest and anyone who wants to play should watch and learn because this is how music is supposed to move you, felt from the soul!

    I just listened to this twice thoroughly. Monte's voice is really really unique in a world that folkies would rather be parrots than show this level of emotion. Wonderful voice, great song and an excellent balance of musicians for this musical journey.
