  • This month on Patreon I regurgitate every bit of information I can remember about one of my favorite Leo Kottke compositions. This performance is based on the 1969 recording from 6- and 12-String Guitar. I hope you can join us for my tablature and hour-long lesson video of the piece. / andrewlardnerguitar

    Ditto what they said, and just want to compliment the compositional artistry in this piece. It’s expansive and attainable simultaneously, blurring the line between folk art and classical nuances.

    That is a wonderful rendition of Leo's tune. One of his best 12-string compositions imho. It really brought me back to the 1970s when I was working in the fields on a farm in Co. Tipperary in Ireland.
    That old Gibson 12-string sounds marvellous. Is it the same model that the great Gordon Lightfoot played throughout his illustrious career?

    Hi Andrew. Terrific rendition of Ojo! I know you do excellent covers of other Leo Kottke tunes as well. I have been a fan of his since the 70's and play some of his tunes. I play a version of Ojo, but I know I haven't got it "quite right," especially some of the bass notes picked with the thumb. I have several TAB versions, but wonder if you know of the best one that duplicates Leo's version as you are doing? Thanks in advance!

    • @andrewlardner

    @alexmeleshenko4834 Год назад

    very nice---with all due respect---finger picks are very limiting as to what you can do---throw them away---they work to some degree for this particular tune---although they are offering you good volume---they take away the ability for the right hand to be more expressive---hoping I am not sounding arrogant---I play Ojo as well--without fingerpicks---allows for more nuance ---I am only making this comment with good intentions---the master of this style Leo Kottke eventually came to the same conclusion--he threw away his fingerpicks.
