I stood in the rain in dublin with my son in his push chair and my wife... I lost my job and me and my family are living out of hotel rooms... my idol charlie parr is playing tonight in dublin it's sold out... I'm there to glimpse him cos I haven't the money to see my idol... sitting at the bar window full of rain droplets is charlie parr... the show is sold out and I walk in and ask if I can meet my idol I'm told yes and over I go... I explain I've come to see him I've only the bus fare in my pocket and I came to try glimpse him... he puts his arm around me and says your with me tonight james you and your family! God bless you charlie may the road always level out to bring you safety where ever you may travel... irish blessings upon you!
To echo what others have already said - I hope that you, your family and your life are in a far better place 5 years after you posted your comment and that you've also heard a lot more great music from good guys like Charlie Parr since then. God Bless you and your family.
Charlie is just about the best thing happening in American music. Feel grateful every time i hear him fire that thing up. Same feeling i get listening to the old masters.
Minnesota;s own. The world-renowned stylist whose heart and soul blend in cherished syncopation and truth. Thanks Charlie ...and the power that be. Glad it all is happening.
FYI, I'm standing up giving you a Standing O! The audio first of all is unbelievably well recorded... Rich balance in the stereo - nice work my friends!
Charlie I am a huge fan the guitar tone and sound in this recording is other worldly (like the playing) thank you mule and Charlie. Perfect combination
I Too did same. Later bought a random National through Reverb from Chicago Music Exchange. Was one that Charlie sold off. There was no mention he had owned it. Saw Charlie later at a show, he confirmed and told me about it.
Great camera work, the guitar is always in frame! It presumably drives all guitar players insane when the video zooms in on the artists face while you're studying the hand skills. Take notice videographers.
robbiepeterh alternating bass. Mississippi John Hurt plays in this style. Many people learnt from him when he was rediscovered in the early 60's. Blind willie mctell does a nice version of this song on 12 string guitar.
Does anyone know what tuning this is in? My ear isn't good enough to figure it out.. I think I can play it by sight and ear once I'm in the tuning. Thank you.
Not sure if serious, but be aware Charlie cannot use those other fingers anymore due to repetitive motion injury. He basically had to relearn the guitar using only thumb and forefinger in order to continue his career. In my opinion his playing is better now than when he used two or three fingers. Cheers!

Very beautiful, I wish there were more of deep, human, hand crafted music out there. This makes me feel happy.

That is one sweet sounding guitar.
I love this song so much :)

hello from Paris, you are such a fantastic artist, congratulations!

Charlie is an artist.
I have listen to this tune everyday over an over since I first here it I can’t stop
Found Charlie by accident looking for a good resonator guitar life is funny what a guy
I Too did same. Later bought a random National through Reverb from Chicago Music Exchange. Was one that Charlie sold off. There was no mention he had owned it. Saw Charlie later at a show, he confirmed and told me about it.
Beautiful looking and sounding guitar!
This is great...
Beautiful.
What great playing and singing! Not to forget he's playing a WAY COOL GUITAR!
+Will Travnikar - Check out his guitar here: muleresophonic.com/
I just found this today! Enjoy!
Get one made for yourself... but no international orders right now. I'm I Canada so I'm in the same boat.
Absolutely great man!
Great camera work, the guitar is always in frame! It presumably drives all guitar players insane when the video zooms in on the artists face while you're studying the hand skills. Take notice videographers.
What an amazingly fluid touch...most natural-sounding since Renbourne or Drake. Glad I found this.
Delia Green (1886 - December 25, 1900) May she rest in peace.
Love you Charlie
Great music hard to believe he is only 23
He was born in 1967
that's 52 years ago !
Yet another comment lands with a splat behind a few heads.
Am I missing something?
@@FlareDoobers Yes - a sense of humour
Nice. I don't know these artists at all but it's great music.
Be it in 2 months, be it in 20 years. I will one day own a mule resonator.
Same here
oh hell yes me too. if i am alive :D
I just wish ther was no waiting list so I could get mine mow
What is this picking style called because it sounds amazing?
robbiepeterh alternating bass. Mississippi John Hurt plays in this style. Many people learnt from him when he was rediscovered in the early 60's. Blind willie mctell does a nice version of this song on 12 string guitar.
Finger style alternate bass playing 4 beats to the bar
Piedmont ragtime maybe. I only know Blind Wille McTell
Does someone know the lyrics? Seems to be his own version...
Emanuel Nicolas I recognize the lyrics as Blind Willie McTell's version of Delia.
Does anyone know what tuning this is in? My ear isn't good enough to figure it out.. I think I can play it by sight and ear once I'm in the tuning. Thank you.
I think it's DADF#AD and then Capo on second fret
Maybe somewhat late, but still very nice to play! He tuned his guitar down to open D. The capo on 2 making it open E. Good luck!
Do you think Charlie knows he has three more fingers on his right hand? 😜
Not sure if serious, but be aware Charlie cannot use those other fingers anymore due to repetitive motion injury. He basically had to relearn the guitar using only thumb and forefinger in order to continue his career. In my opinion his playing is better now than when he used two or three fingers. Cheers!
@@slkwonk I see said the blind man. I had no idea. Thank you for sharing. ✌
That's a mile resophonic
