Paul David: “Check out this cool little simple thing”
Also Paul David: proceeds to shred at levels previously unknown
Looks like I'm early enough, I just wanna say I started looping after seeing you, I love the inspiration and motivation that your content and playing give me. Thank you for making me a better guitarist Paul! Love from Romania
Early enough for what exactly ?
@@treaceeames4697 i was early so my comment would get noticed as i wanted to thank paul for inspiring me
This style of playing is exactly what Mark Knopfler introduced me to. He taught me a lot of these folk music kind of techniques that totally blew my mind back then.
This man is insanely talented
Makes us feel great right :)
???
Are you joking?
Ever listened to Merle Travis, Doc Watson, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Stefan Grossman, Marcel Dadi, Mark Knopfler, Tommy Emmanuel ?
@@christianlacheze3323 Calm down sweetheart. Yes, those people are insanely talented too.
@@christianlacheze3323 just because some people are better than others doesn't discredit someone's talent lmao
I don’t know if he’s that talented. What I do know is he has put in a lot of effort into playing guitar. Talent is kinda nonsense, you get better at playing by practicing.
Tommy Emmanuel is one of the very BEST guitarists I've EVER heard in my life. I had the opportunity to see him live once and even did a meet & greet with him as well. I had him sign my acoustic guitar and we took some pics...great experience all around as the concert was AMAZING as he's is absolutely PHENOMENAL live! Great video! :)
Highly enjoy the contrast in content between each consecutive level. Makes every one vital from beginner to advanced players, and I will always appreciate a nod to Chet Atkins haha.
Yes! Chet Atkins was one of the reasons I learned guitar and doesn’t get enough love. He truly is the father of guitar and fingerpicking.
Paul is at one with the soul of guitar, the technicality of guitar, the passion of guitar players... very inspiring
I joined one of his courses, and I must say I am really happy with it! Not disapointed at all. It is very well structured, easy to follow. Really enjoying it!!!!
The last level reminded me of Tommy Emmanuel live performances. Sounds really cool!
Поддерживаю! Хотя по качеству игры ближе был 5 уровень, у Томми оно как-то вообще легко идёт с виду, без напряга молотит
Also Chet Atkins. ruclips.net/video/Zxt1THeWpP4/видео.html
Level 4 is so perfect. Everything fills its role so flawlessly. So full and awesome.
Hello there Mr. Paul Davids,
To borrow this moment, I have just recently followed your YT video’s , and
will join the “acoustic adventure” course I am very excited about.
I had some trouble sharing comments on the mini samples you’ve offered and wanted to comment here.
42yrs old American/Japanese raised in Japan, leaving my guitar collecting dust for 10+ yrs, and my oldest daughter, 13 this year wants to learn.
A little research brought me to your channel, and thank you, you have 2 new students now 😉👍🏻
Love the way you teach , Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏
Very timely! This song was on my learn next list. I really appreciate the multiple level approach to learning a song.
I really love the structure of your videos! It's just really nice to watch!
So good to hear freight train played beautifully. Tommy, Chet, really any fingerstyle player would have been proud to hear you play those with flair whilst keeping to the melody. Love your work Paul, all the way from Australia. P.S. That Collings sounds gorgeous.
Wow, I love how you can add such beautiful flavors over simple songs like that. I do stuff like that too but I'm not able to do it as extravagantly as you. BTW, I've almost completed your list of 10 guitar solos everyone must know. 😀 Awesome video as usual.
You are one of the main reasons why my joy for playing guitar never fades, thank you so much.
Watching you play is always a bliss. Big up, Sir.
Always inspiring, exceptionally crafted videos! Thanks for sharing your talents
I’ve only been playing for a month and just about got my fingers around moving between C-D-G chords, so watching this was super motivating :)
Freight train is one of my favourite guitar pieces!! The legend Tommy Emmanuel teaches this one for fingerstyle blues which really helped me. Great lesson as always Paul! 😁👍
Paul's videos are always great, whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, there's always something to take... Many thanks for that Paul
Excellent subtle build up from level to level
Thank you for this , wonderful demonstration of the evolution in a simple melody.
I litteraly searched for a lesson on this song last week..
Couldn't time it better!
SO much fun to watch and listen. Can’t wait to keep working to this level ❤️🙌
Weekly inspiration just dropped. Thanks Paul
Love it - Paul’s coursework is amazing BTW!!!
The bend on the b string is my favorite part of the song and all the covers seem to miss it. Very simple but so beautiful. You got it!
very well played..
This video will be so helpful to different levels of guitarist.
Thank you Paul for sharing
fabulous stuff Paul ...
Cat in the window at 2:37 loves level 4!
Thank you Paul and massive respect to you for showing us your interpretation of Tommy's classic. Fantastic!!
Cant recommend Acoustic Adventure enough. Just amazing work.
Awesome playing Paul !
Love it 😍! You present it so great.
Truly awesome, beautiful, and inspiring. This is one of my all time favorite guitar songs to hear and you have made it even better. Keep it up!
Amazing video. Cant wait to apply this in practice and see where it takes me! Your online course are amazing too. I definitely feel like a better player who knows the steps i need to take to keep improving.
Great job mate!
Beautiful as always ❤️
That Collings sounds so gorgeous, also, amazing playing Paul ♥️
Paul, another great video showcasing your ability to play as well as teach in a manner everyone can enjoy and understand.
Great music often starts with simple Melody. You just proved it! I'd love to see each level broken down more, but I love your teaching style, delivery and the content. Your humility is seriously infectious!
Paul has got to be one of the best teachers on RUclips. Never stop you beautiful man!
Great segment Paul!
Love it!
Freight Train! Man, I'm excited about this one.
Sometimes I just let my fingers loose and they do what they want and I'm surprised how good it sounds. I've been playing for 40 years and there's a definite mental/physical release where my brain stops "thinking" and I just feel the music and my fingers do what I feel. Beginners won't understand this but after decades of playing it's like you hear something and your fingers just start playing it and you become one with the music. Like a connection between your heart/spirit and your body where the thinking part of your brain is bypassed. Those are the times when playing music becomes magical. Finger picking for me does this.
Excellent video!
Hey Paul!
I have recently moved to the Netherlands from Ukraine.
Been a fan for like 6 years!
I saw you a few weeks ago near Rotterdam, You were on your bike!
It's great to see someone enjoying not only playing but teaching also!
I just love listening to you play and watching your fingers go. Awesome stuff.
Super awesome! Love it!
amazing as always
This was mesmerizing
So amazing!!!!!
Have to say that the Elizabeth Cotton version struck the perfect balance between intricacy and simplicity. Versions "above" that took a lot of the magic out of the sound.
Beautiful playing and sound ❤️
Nice playing. Thank you for sharing.
Nice played, and kudos for trying anything Tommy does! Hes been an inspiration for many of us.
Thank you Paul!
I am always amazed at both your playing ability and excellent teaching style. While i would have to practice a while to play any of these levels, your explanations of style and mechanics are so very helpful. You are great
He's such a good teacher. Super likable and easy to watch/support.
The final version was insane brah- nicely done!
Pure magic, Paul 💖
Inspiring vidoes as always 😍
I think this is my favorite video so far from you. Very cool.
I always forget how good this man is absolutly amazing
You're showing off, Mr Davids - and I love it! So good 👍😁😁😁
You sounded just like our hero, Chet Atkins. Excellent!
Wow... that's the best compliment one can get 🙌
@@PaulDavids it's real the random Giveaway?
@@fabiotini4647 Pretty sure those comments aren't him. I reported the one on my comment. This has the verified user checkmark, though.
I was fortunate to be one of the few that got in the initial test group for acoustic adventure. A year ago i think. I would highly recommend it. It takes time and effort but it has helped me to improve and get exposure to a wide variety of styles and techniques. I would highly recommend getting the pdf of the tabs printed which allows practice without having to login every time. The videos tell you what to do, then it takes time with the tabs to get the hang of it.
Thanks for the education!
Super cool video. Six levels that each prevent a challenge but helps you see how learning the guitar is all incremental. Cheers!
@PaulDavids Haven’t seen you use your Collins guitar in a minute still sounds absolutely amazing
beautiful again Paul
I play the guitar, much like a 2 year old plays the drums. So I cognitively understand what you are doing, but knowing how I struggle just to play some bar chords... I salute you. You. Are. Guru.
Very nice thank you.
Very good indeed 👌🏼
Красавчик, Пол!)
Fantastic! Once you got up to level 6, it reminded me of Steve Howe - The Clap.
Paul Davids is awesome as always! a fan from Philippines. I want to play like you someday.
Just discovered this channel today. Props to the RUclips algorithms for leading me here. Great videos my friend, play on
There’s special place in heaven for ppl like you man
good quality of content and video as always, greetings!
Dude makes it look easy✌️
wow so good paul
Thank you sooo much for the shots of your fret hand. You're a wonderful instructor, and a charming enough fellow, but watching your hand is all I need to learn the song.
Not enough videos include those shots.
Thanks! Now I have this ditty stuck in my head! Haha. Love your videos.
Beste Paul. Je hebt echt aanleg. Met n paar lesjes kom je er wel. Haha, wat een leuke les weer. Genot om naar te kijken. Keep it up. Roffa rules
Erg. Lean playing . Well done
My fav Guitarist will always be Dax Andreas 😍😍😍😍😍
Quality acoustic work mate
The sixth level is amazing
Thanks Paul 👍🏾👍🏼🤜🏾🤛🏽!
Paul Davids long ago entered the zone of... 'well I'll never be that good'.. this has well and truly cemented it.
That was too crazy for me... absolutely brilliant performance.
Awesome sir, for me level 3 is enjoyable to listen and to learn, starting to level 1 try
Cat spotted at 2:37. What we're all really here for.
Paul I’ve gotta say that’s pretty inspiring. Acoustic guitar and finger picking isn’t really my thing but you’ve made me want to start! Love the channel
Thanks Paul!
Damn man. Damn. Speechless..
Steve Howe's "the clap" comes to mind here :-)
I was looking for this comment because I immediately recognized “The Clap” from the Yes Album. This song MUST be the genesis of Steve Howe’s composition.
Amazing 🤩
Depending on my mood I get inspired or depressed but I’m always impressed 👍🏻
Lol too true
