Thankyou Marvin! Very enjoyable lesson.. I have had a go at playing Albatross, While out busking, with a looper, To keep the bass line going. It is always received well.. But now, thanks to this lesson, In honour of the great Peter Green, I'm going to learn to play all the parts together. You play this beautifully! Peter would be proud.
Hello Marvin. I commented on your busked version of this song. I picked up a lot just listening to you play. This version though provides more detail so thank you.
Love it...I may try to do it, as I play at home alone much of the time. This is one of my all time favorite songs and never thought of finger style arrangement. Thank You for sharing
Thanks Marvin I played this song about 20 years ago but it was only the first part I could play now im going practice and finish it thanks to your instruction. Cheers Dave from Scotland
Thank you for pointing me to this, it'll take me a few weeks but I'm going to work on this, every one should have a PG song in their repertoire, I play Man of the World, but find it sad, this will be a celebration of the great man.
Very nice and innovative. It helped me a lot. Nice to play it on one guitar. Wish I had your fingers. I have a short-scale Fender Jaguar for that reason. Thanks again!!
+onemore angryvoice Thank you! You must have a go - it's not as hard as you might think. Start by keeping the low note going, slowly at first, of course.
I’m trying to follow this but finding it difficult to understand how you’re playing the bass F sharp on the 9th fret at 1:05? Do you have some strange tuning going on?
Dude, I mean Marvin my man, you are the coolest guitar picker! Why don'cha come over here to Caleefornia (California) and be my guitar teacher? I can play some guitar,but man ..I can't find anyone that can play like you..teach me so I can teach others.......
I'm flattered by your comments (and enthusiasm) Robert. I really am! Maybe you could organise something where the proceeds could go to financing my trip over to your part of the world. By the way, this arrangement isn't too difficult: just keep the low E string going until it's second nature, then try out the higher bits. Remember, practise slowly to avoid frustration. all the best, Marvin
Very good lesson and playing. Kudos mate. Would I be correct in thinking that I've seen you on RUclips busking with the same guitar?? It was definitely a British man playing Albatros but I cannot see your face in this video to know if it's you who was busking. Please let me know, it's driving me a bit batty lol. Thanks again for the lesson, you really get the feel and groove of the whole band just by yourself. Good stuff !!
Yes, you're right. In fact there is a video of me doing this in Chichester which has got a lot of views since Peter Green died. Have you seen it? And there is a new one of me doing Albatross which I recorded the day he died. I use a Gretsch now, as my Epiphone has got a crack in the headstock and doesn't keep its tuning very well. Anyway, if the video(s) say Marvin B Naylor, then it's definitely me! Many thanks! Here's the Chichester video ruclips.net/video/T8w0oocsuzI/видео.html
@@marvinbnaylor Yeah, it is you. You play Albatros really well and I'm sorry to hear about your Epi. I've got a Sheraton 94 Korean and I honestly don't know why these guitars are so undervalued. Mine was $650 last century but they're not much more now and fantastic guitars. Thanks for the music.
love this way thanks Marvin I was doing my own thing/ picking going on and always felt I needed a friend on another guitar for backup. Now here are all these chords I never suspected staring u right in the face im really greatful to you thanku.
+Brian Trend Thank you Brian, I'm pleased it's helped. I'm always surprised there aren't more similar fingerstyle arrangements of this, as it seems an obvious way to play it. Any questions - please ask. All the best, marvin
Thank you Kai. I'm sorry, I don't have the tab (I don't know how to do all that) but if you have a question about a specific part, I would be pleased to describe it in detail.
Hello Marvin§ Beautifull version what a class!! i'm from France and sometime during a week or a month you are my best guitar player in the world before hendrix Chetakins J.beck. tommy emmanuel Prince Joe satriani Marcel dadi srv and me! where can i have or buy the tabs? love your style!
Many thanks Laurence. You've put me in very good company! I have 10 pages of handwritten tab which I can send as two attachments for £10 (total) Please contact me on marvinbnaylor@yahoo.co.uk Marvin
Cool daddio much better then using a backing track and more impressive for the punter, dig it man. Wit ye using on fx, am guessing slap back with a lot of reverb?
+Rockin Johnny Thank you! All I'm using is reverb (through a Roland MicroCube amp) - quite a lot, actually, which I find essential for this song. I may try it with some slap-back, though. Regards, Marvin
This is stunning. And that Casino sounds awesome. I've been wanting to get one for a while now, but I'm still smarting from spending way too much on a high end Maton acoustic that I don't even like playing anymore. So I'd appreciate your thoughts on the pros and cons of the Casino. I've noticed that yours seems to play itself. I appreciate that there is a lot of skill going in from you, but as you know, some guitars just seem to want to be played, and reward you for doing so, while some can be just like a frigid wife.
+stevo53 The Casino's a great guitar, and very cheap for what it is - I'm talking about the Korean ones, of course, not the expensive American ones. The neck on mine is very nice, and the pickups sound great. I tend to use just the neck one for the fingerstyle stuff, although the treble one sounds great, too - for solo-ing. I put the Bigsby on myself. The guy at the local music shop said you shouldn't put one on a guitar that hasn't got a centre bar (as mine hasn't), because it will be too much tension and the guitar will cave in. He was wrong: the wood on these guitars is very strong and anyway, all the tension is on the back/side where the strap button is. All you have to do is drill 2 holes to secure the Bigsby on the front of the guitar: there is only a little tension there. I can't think of any cons, apart from it's difficult to get to the very highest notes because of the cutaway. The amp I use is a Roland Micro Cube - they are very compact, take 6 AA batteries, and sound great. I use the Brit Combo amp setting, which is supposed to replicate a 60s VOX amp, but all the other amp sounds are good. It's just that the Brit Combo setting is the only one that cuts through all the noise when you're playing outside. I heartily recommend the Micro Cube, and also the Cube Street, which is a bigger version, although you get a lot more from the reverb knob on the Micro Cube, for some reason. I hope this helps! Regards, Marvin
+Marvin B Naylor Thanks for that in-depth info Marvin. 👌 I guess now, I'll just have to decide on what colour. Same as yours? , or maybe the Goldtop?, natural? Or the cherry, in remembrance of my first proper guitar in 1969, a MIJ Tempo 335 copy. Decisions decisions! But they are all stunning.
That is beautiful! Awesome! It's hard for me to play on a cheap guitar cause the string action isn't low to the frets! I'm trying to save for a good electric guitar.....if I were to win BIG money I get a hold of Marvin and have him come to the USA .... really....
+Marvin B Naylor the main theme (influenced by Sleepwalk, probably). I play the notes: 5th string (2nd fret) with a hammer on to the 'B' on the same string (on fret 4) etc etc! No Jeremy on this one! Good assist by Kirwan howsoever!
One of the most beautiful guitar instrumentals ever! Peter Green was a music genius. Great tuition video.
Absolutely the best version on you-tube, great tone and very smooth playing. Sounds more like the recording than anybody out there.
I've looked at a few and this is the best one. Thank you.
That's brilliant very rare version of this beautiful track thanku
Many thanks Peter!
Thankyou Marvin!
Very enjoyable lesson..
I have had a go at playing Albatross,
While out busking, with a looper,
To keep the bass line going.
It is always received well..
But now, thanks to this lesson,
In honour of the great Peter Green,
I'm going to learn to play all the parts together.
You play this beautifully!
Peter would be proud.
Many thanks and I'm chuffed you're playing this live and it's going down well. Thank you for the wonderful comment.
That is f****** brilliant, man
Many thanks for your enthusiastic comment, Jatinger!
Thanks for this lesson. Such a beautiful song. Glad i can learn it with the bassline
Truly amazing. I'm so glad I found your channel. It's time for me to start playing again. Thank you so much.
Hello Marvin. I commented on your busked version of this song. I picked up a lot just listening to you play. This version though provides more detail so thank you.
Excellent Chris.
Terrific version. I absolutely love it
Love it...I may try to do it, as I play at home alone much of the time. This is one of my all time favorite songs and never thought of finger style arrangement. Thank You for sharing
My pleasure David. Let me know how you get on.
One of the best versions I've seen on RUclips. Thanks for posting and keep up the great work. Will have to try this on my own Casino.
I'm flattered and I wish you the best!
Thanks Marvin
I played this song about 20 years ago but it was only the first part I could play now im going practice and finish it thanks to your instruction.
Cheers

Thank a million….very very good rendition!
Brilliant playing! Gorgeous tune - you did it justice. Thank you.
Now, that's how to play it! Excellent.Well done.
Absolutely. Brilliant. Thanks Marvin
Thank you Phil. Any questions - please ask.
Thank you for pointing me to this, it'll take me a few weeks but I'm going to work on this, every one should have a PG song in their repertoire, I play Man of the World, but find it sad, this will be a celebration of the great man.

Thank you, Gordon. I appreciate it!
Magnificent
Thank you!
@@marvinbnaylor Have sent you an email Marvin - used the one down below in the comments.
Thank you, Sir. I appreciate your response!
Bravooooo !!!
Many thanks Rodrigo!
What a lovely thing to learn, beautifully explained, I like hearing the chord types; very musical and to the point.
+jimmynitcher Thank you Jimmy. I appreciate you letting me know and I hope you have fun playing it! Regards, Marvin
Very nice and innovative. It helped me a lot. Nice to play it on one guitar. Wish I had your fingers. I have a short-scale Fender Jaguar for that reason. Thanks again!!
I'm pleased it's been of some help! Thank you.
Thanks man. Beautiful!
That guitar sounds amazing. Everybody wants the Gibson es355 including myself but Epiphone just made it beter in every way.
Thank you. Yes, the Casino really is a great sounding guitar...and not nearly as expensive as any Gibson.
Excellent, really well done video. Think i've got it after an hour or so :)
Very nice, thanks a lot for putting this video together. Much appreciated.
Thank you, I'm very pleased it's been of some help!
Very nice
hiya Marvin that's great thank you, you play it well and by teaching it too
Thank you, I hope it's been helpful.
Excellent
Wonderful - thank you!
Thank you!
Very nicely done!
Maestro !
beautiful. perhaps I won't kill it by trying to learn it and just enjoy this version! 😄
+onemore angryvoice Thank you! You must have a go - it's not as hard as you might think. Start by keeping the low note going, slowly at first, of course.
+Marvin B Naylor. I did, I couldn't resist! I was pretty good actually! ;)
Very nice well done
Thank you Russell.
Awesome 👍
Bloody great
Awesome
you play the song very nice
Soo good! Many thanks for this fine instruction!
Glad to be of help!
Awesome... thanks for sharing :-)
Tom Greguric Thank you, Tom - I appreciate it, and if you're learning it on the guitar, I hope this helps.
I LOVE IT..
Thank you Rosa!
very good
The first song i learned on guitar in 1974😀
Love Your playing and the arrangement - Thanks for that. Peace and good flight
Thank you, David - it's appreciated.
Great!!
Hi Marvin,
I play this with a backing track - what a great arrangement you have, you make it look easier than it's sounds.
Many thanks for your compliment Frank. It's not so difficult. Just keep the low E going and the rest will fall into place. Marvin
Love it you are great.
Very kind words. Thank you, Paul.
Amazing!
Wonderful job. Great playing

Great 🙂👍
Great job man, you nailed it. If Peter Green could hear this he might as who played with me on this version?
Got Damn, this is so awesome, thanks for posting! I just wish you would post the rest of song.
Yeah.
Many thanks for a great lesson!
Super!! Wish you could put a full tab up on the screen so we could really keep track to learn it. How about it?
Such a good run through cheers man 👌👍
Coolio thank u man

Nice 🕺
Great job, keeping the bass thumb going will be the most difficult part, coordinating with the rythm and solos parts
+Stuart Cook Thank you Stuart. As you will no doubt know, practice it very slow to avoid frustration!
A HA your the busker, playing in two years time North street Chichester, yes I'm a time traveller cheers from OZ.
thank you.
Good. Better than the other plonkers playing this on RUclips
Hi Marvin Great vid! Your version is the best here on YT. How can I get the tab? Best regards
lovely tone you have there.
wow not one comment. Dude this is awesome!
You have a new suscriptor Mr. God bless you! 🙂 💜✌️
is this just standard tuning?
Yes, standard tuning. Any problems with it - please let me know!
complimenti!
I have this very same guitar 1996 vc casino
Excellent…..-:))

Thank you Israel. You can contact me on; marvinbnaylor@yahoo.co.uk about the tab, which I cans end you for a small fee.
I've sent you a reply, Israel, from my email. Have you got it?
@@marvinbnaylor I have thank you! Currently at work, but I will respond sometime tonight if that's okay with you?
Very tasty!
Are you playing this in standard? You seem to be playing the bass part (between the E and F#m) as well as the lead part in B
+Joe Chris Morris Yes - standard tuning. I'm not sure what you mean by 'the lead part in B', however.
+Marvin B Naylor the main theme (influenced by Sleepwalk, probably). I play the notes: 5th string (2nd fret) with a hammer on to the 'B' on the same string (on fret 4) etc etc! No Jeremy on this one! Good assist by Kirwan howsoever!

great version..! Is it Epi from 2012. ?
Thank you! (The Epiphone is from 2004, I think).
sounds ok, to me..is it from Europe , or USA ? ..I mean, made in Korea?
It's a Korean one.
This is nice and sweet but doesn’t sound like the original…it’s not raw, slow and sad enough
