He was born in Katherine Qld to Californian hippie parents who met at a music festival. His parents went their separate ways and he grew up with his father who taught school at the Aboriginal community of Papunya. His father had a southern USA accent.
@@UNEAKinfluence Yea, this song is nothing to underestimate if you are going to give it a go... the first time I tried I gave up after some months. Been at it again now for over a year and it's starting to sound more more like it should. Good luck.
@@PeturMag haha! Dude, I've been at it for probably over a year here and there, too. It's probably the hardest song I've ever learned. Even travis picking came much easier. This guy is such a comically underrated guitarist if you ask me.
Dude, I just discovered your stuff recently. Man you are awesome !! Your for real, I hope that everyone can realize that. Its the best I’ve heard in a long, long time.
Oh how I love this man, this song,... this video.... The sheer beauty of it all, the amount of intens happness this video already has given me.... Thanks to all the people who made it happen ❤.
Sucks that his show got cancelled due to this virus going around. But man, does this song create a perfect mood for how things are currently. Can’t wait to see him when this all blows over. Stay safe everyone.
What can one say... Hmm, let's see. First morning where I awoke with some free smokes as I try to feed off of this love and his teachings. I made love to some art and I got to say, Monday is also a very great day. XOXOXOXO
I'd love a husband like him(I'm unattached) he can sing to me till ta cows come...ivthink he's so lovely and it shows in his voice and mannerisms ...well done Chris.😘😘🙋

This guy has an old and beautiful soul.
This is so wholesome. That smile he gets when she claps at the end.
We need MORE of this old soul music!
That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you C.W. Stoneking.
What a fantastic piece of songwriting
So under rated. He's amazing! Myself and my children love his music.
This was a beauty touch to my soul..!
Greek grandma was so sweet as well 😄🎶🎶🎶👍
5:01 That P.A. started and ended at the perfect time.
His accent is so interesting. Half Australian, half American southern
There is a distinct aboriginal accent there. That is how regional aboriginals use to talk.

This made me cry. Gorgeous.
Could be my favourite RUclips video of them all
Thank you! We love this video as well.
Stray Songs
Makes me very happy this video
Tob ba
swear i thought this was a song from the early 1900s until i looked into it more, cheers !! so damn good
Hes a national treasure
*international :-)
Nicholas Youmans a Dunlop International treasure
He is an international treasure!!!!
Hes austrailian
Northern Territory from Australia. We are claiming him. Get your hands off.
This guy makes the guitar sound like a piano!
I saw him live, and in between chords he played the sounds of a raucous
New Orleans funeral march.
He has a great style that has been largely forgotten.
Mamma loves it and probably doesn't even speak english!!! Well done CW....as always.
You are right in both. She did love it and she didn't speak a word of english!
I just adore this song. It's true to the style it's going for while not sounding contrived. Struggling to learn to play it from the lesson.
Same. I just cant get his flow and picking rhythm. Hard to get what he's getting. It's his song after all 😎
@@UNEAKinfluence He has a tutorial on his channel, it's wonderful.
@@PeturMag Yes, I know but hard to get it from that video!

I watch this at least once a month. Thanks for such an amazing piece.
Η βάβω από πίσω είχε πριβέ συναυλία Stoneking και ούτε που το ήξερε
Το έζησε πάντως.

Heh.. What a nice moment in time.

Thank you for your comment!
This dude is right on time. What a badass.
"Βάλε μια μπλούζα πάνω σου και έλα εδω πέρα"
Πόσο ελληνίδα γιαγιά!
Yeah, what she said!!
As perfect a song as you could ever wish to hear.
What a lovely reminder of when I discovered Chris's music in 2008 😎
That is so beautiful I broke a tear.
Completely fabulous 🎉
My gawd, that first little progression of chords had me melt into my seat like I was falling asleep at the beach
he is so bloody gorgous
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm speechless. What a performance. Thank you.
A video that I yet again am drawn to... Very deep and provoking in all of your ways. Thank you
C.W. is da man! Hail to the king!
Beautiful, no words needed.
I’m convinced that this dude is a time traveler that’s just doing his best to adjust to his new surroundings
This made me cry
Amazing...
My ears are in love.

Bitter Sweet is our life...oh my!!
This is soooooo beautifull, love it
What can one say... Hmm, let's see. First morning where I awoke with some free smokes as I try to feed off of this love and his teachings. I made love to some art and I got to say, Monday is also a very great day. XOXOXOXO

Πέροχο!!
Sometimes in the worst of doldrums meaning and significance can present itself.
Love it 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺
@0.36 surprise followed by the sweet words of "Mo Betta". Words people can fall dead 'on' and be happy dying.
Fantástico que vontade de um cifra ;-;
Hi cw
Mama is happy so am I 😅
He will be recognised....... at some point.
I'd say that loudspeaker of radio is exactly the kind of thing he is trying to get to a desert isle because of.
μεγαλλεε
Is Stoneking the coolest milkman of all time?
Love finds you, no matter where you run. If it's in your stars. If it's not you can't even find it in a HAREM. that's the point of the song.
Fucking Beautiful...............
κοίτα κάτι τυχερές γιαγιάδες, απίθανο!!!
Και ο C.W. τυχερός που έπαιξε για τη γιαγιά βέβαια.
music/tabs for this? I know the verse is basically C, C/G, F, C.....G7/6, C. But I'd like to learn the inversions and licks he uses throughout. Help?
+84iamwhatiam you could ask him directly. he does guitar lessons on his youtube video
+84iamwhatiam
It'll have mistakes, but this should give you some ideas for how to make the
inversions and licks:
Verse:
C Em Dm E/C Dm G C G7
Chorus:
F C F Dm (or?Am) |C F C Em- |G F (Em) G Dm |C G (Dm) C C7
+84iamwhatiam It's still not the licks, but this is slightly improved:
# Notes
- With the Em7-Dm7 transition, you usually also include an Ebm7 on the way, playing all three chords in Am shape, descending from the 7th to 5th frets.
- C9: -32330
- C7: -32310
- the bridge more similar to a chorus than a verse though there are some variations
# Verse
C G7 F C, Em7 Dm7* G C G7
C G7 F C, Em7 Dm7* G C G7
C Em F C, Em7 Dm7* G C G7
C Em F C, Em7 Dm7* G C9 C7
# Chorus
F C/F F C/Dsusm
C G7 C C#/A7
G F/G G Gsus
C C/F C C9 (or C G G C G)
Léon redbone spirit is floating around over there
Athens, Georgia?
Athens, Greece
Hes got the Australians equivalent to an American southern accent.
is the captain america of music? like he got preserved in ice to bring people good music
wow !!
incredible shoppers !! ha ha
lol re the weird broadcast
Boy, he sure loves to wear white.
Boy, you sure like to state the obvious
hey man, this is the best video ever :)
i love the bit at 5:01 and kudos for not missing a beat
Unless you are in my sons situation.
I like me some french fried pataytas
Ηχογράφηση στην Ελλάδα κ θα γλυτωνες από γύφτο... Ταυτότητα...
Is that Hannibal Lecter? I didn't know he played guitar.
So after Hannibal Lecter is done playing guitar, does he eat the old lady?
