Just saw you ad, and came here. This is sooo good. Lots of love from Pakistan :)

The clarity of the melody is outstanding. It just sits right on top of the harmony, clear and articulate. Wow.

[donaldbass]

I am amazed that you tackle that middle on an acoustic guitar that otherwise would be Ian’s Flute and Monk Chanting…I bow to you sir! Don’t stop…just make sure that your left hand remains in view for us other lone acoustic bandits.

Link to the TAB/lesson in the description! :) Have a wonderful day everyone!

That is so great. I was stucking in basic chords over 1 years. Now I've got motivation to practice.Tomorrow might be my day 1.

[farmershane]

Dude! Great playing! I need to expand my style of playing

[gaiadreisin-moss]

When I can play this, I can officially say that I play guitar.

You're the best guitar man I love it very much thanks for sharing, am watching here in Philippines.

Dear author of the chanel. You give great lessons. Just awesome. And even a theme that starts from the moment 1:24 has totally captured my consciousness. Please, make a tutorial for it just to know how it works. I like this music that much.

Damn!!! 🤯🤯🤯I searched this just for fun, kind of knew i'd probably find something that would sound good, because pretty much anything does in fingerstyle, if in the right hands!! But i didn't think it would sound THAT good!!! Amazing arrangement and performance!! With that happy vibe it has, i couldn't help but smile all the way!!! 😁😁😁 I usually have to watch quite a few videos before i decide to sub or not to a channel, but this is one of those rare "instant sub" case!!! 👌👍✌

finally searching for the real video after the ad plays for 100th time

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da


Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da


For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Was wondering if you could transcribe nasty letter by otis Taylor thanks

[GuitarReviver]

Hey Emil, I notice you rarely play your custom Maton with your name at the 12th fret inlay. Do you prefer your main Maton shown in this video? Just curious, thanks 😊
