Daddy Long Les plays this fine old American folk/gospel tune with a funky country blues feel.

  • Great old song..but your version is just killer!

  • Awesome, sounded great!

  • Thanks for all the kind comments.  I'm thinking of doing a series of proper video tutorials with tab/musical notation on this instrument.  I'll take it right back to the beginning all the way up to more advanced stuff.

  • Les, the tuning is DGD, lowest to highest.  This is then capoed on the 1st fret so that the sequence of frets gives you a minor scale.  So basically, it's a standard DAD tuning with the A de-tuned to G and then with the capo behind the 1st fret it's EAE.  Think of this as being in A. If you look at my previous video I explain all this.  Hope this helps.

  • Sounds mighty fine!

  • I'm pretty new to this ...what tuning is it played in Les?

  • That sounds great...nice one.

  • Big bravo. You make a stick in a box sing wonderfully.

  • Well done sir!

  • Thanks, Les.  I love tenors and would like to sample a Martin.  I found that vid on your youtube channel.  Beautiful.  A lot of nice ring to the Martin.
