Ain't Nobodies Business (Bessie Smith / Georgia White) Fingerstyle Blues
Here's a fingerpicking version of Ain't Nobody's Business as recorded by Bessie Smith (1923) and Georgia White (1938).
I've been a while due to various colds and the like, but I have some more in the pipeline! Also have a few gigs coming up in Headingley and Meanwood this July so maybe see you there.

Mamah Borthwick - Fingerpicking Conor Oberst
zhlédnutí 584Před 4 měsíci
I stole this arrangement from Chris Wallum, a fingerpicking guitar player who's been knocking about Leeds for about as long as I have. (A long time!) I'd never thought much of this song but Chris was insistent that it was one of the best from Ruminations / Salutations and perhaps he is right - I didn't really realised what it was about until I learnt it. I've gone with the Salutations lyrics as...
Journey Through the Past - (Neil Young Fingerstyle guitar and accordion), feat. James Shakeshaft
zhlédnutí 603Před 5 měsíci
James suggested we do a Neil Young song before he went off to Australia and when I had a look on Spotify this outtake from Harvest came up . He's taken most of his songs off Spotify cause he had a beef with Joe Rogan I believe. I said he had to play the accordion on it - he's trying to play as quiet as possible and I'm I'm trying to fingerpick as loud as I can. #neilyoung #fingerstyleguitar #ac...
Learn "Changing of the Guards" by Bob Dylan - Fingerpicking Guitar Lesson (Saxophone riff)
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 5 měsíci
If you've seem my fingerstyle version of Changing of the Guards and really want to learn how to play it, here is where to start! (I know this applies to least one person). Just the usual alternating bass with the thumb and a bit of melody over the top. I'll get round to doing the rest of the song if you keep pestering me.

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free (Fingerpicking Nina Simone Instrumental)
zhlédnutí 1,9KPřed 5 měsíci
I didn't feel like I could sing this song (especially as I've had a cold all week) but I love the tune and it works really well for fingerstyle in the key of C. And it also works well at different speeds. Everyone will have heard Nina Simone's version, but folks from the UK might know the instrumental version buy the original composer, Billy Taylor, from the theme to the film programme on the B...

Rollin' and Tumblin' (Hambone Willie Newbern, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan) I think first heard the Robert Johnson version of this but it was originally by Hambone Willie Newbern so I've gone for those (slightly dated) lyrics. Bob did it on Modern Times. I like to play it as fast as possible but I've tried to keep it under control here. Just realised that I've been calling him Newman...
Samson and Delila / If I Had My Way (Rev Gary Davis Cover)
zhlédnutí 747Před 6 měsíci
New year, new suit! Usually I try and do my own arrangement of old blues songs, but with Reverend Gary Davis there's nothing I can add, so I've just tried to play it the way he does. Which is bloody difficult! And I guess it's gospel rather than blues, going all the way back to the Old Testament. Bizarrely, I first heard Reverend Gary Davis when a black belt from University of Leeds Karate Soci...
Kind Hearted Woman (Robert Johnson cover)
zhlédnutí 815Před 8 měsíci
This was the first Robert Johnson song I learned, I think because it was the first song in The Complete Robert Johnson by Woody Mann. A lot of his songs in the key of A are pretty similar so when you play this you can play Phonograph Blues, Me and the Devil Blues, and so on. I managed to do a Hank Williams song with no yodelling recently, but unfortunately I'm subjecting you some ill-advised fa...
Palm Springs Jump (Slim Gaillard) feat. Jonny Hick and the Meanwood Valley Stompers

Here's one Jonny likes to sing, originally by Slim Gaillard of Slim and Slam fame. David Broad and the Meanwood Valley Stompers play all kinds of traditional American music: swing, blues, gospel, ragtime, sometimes even a bit of country. They’ve played pubs, clubs, parties, weddings and funerals up and down the country and can be counted on to get lindy hoppers hopping and jivers jiving. Influe...

Six More Miles (to the Graveyard) - Fingerpicking Hank Williams (Open G)
zhlédnutí 998Před 9 měsíci
I used to be in a Hank Williams Tribute band "The Lovesick Cowboys" and we played some of the worst gigs I've played - we never played this one though. I heard this on a Pine Hill Haints E.P. that Sam had and always thought it sounded a bit more interesting than a lot of Hank's other stuff. I used to play in open tunings more often but I got tired of retuning between songs. I nearly had this do...
Up On Cripple Creek (The Band / Robbie Robertson) Fingerpicking Guitar
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed 9 měsíci
A belated tribute to Robbie Robertson who died a few weeks ago. In my head this was a bluegrass song, but when I went back and listened to it turns out it's not. Is it country funk?? He didn't sing, but wrote most of the songs for the Band and played electric guitar. And check out his guitar playing on Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert. Forgot to comb my hair!

I wrote this a month before the little sausage was born, while the garden was starting wake up from the winter. Little bud, so small and green So tightly packed, what you going to be?

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again - Fingerpicking Bob Dylan
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 11 měsíci
It's been a while! I'll show you the reason why in my next video. In the meantime her is my favourite or second favourite song off Blonde on Blonde. I thought there was no way I could make this work for fingerstyle guitar - but discovered that (as usual) just it works if you just play it faster. It's worth learning it just to get acquainted with all the characters in the song. 0:00 - Singing 6:...

Superb lads
*Nobody's Nice tune, thanks.
Magnífica interpretación, me ha gustado mucho y me he suscrito a tu canal para seguirte. Saludos desde Madrid y hasta pronto David, like 39
Fantastic!
Wicked tune:)
Great job, David! Been waiting for a new one from you and you didn't disappoint. Keep them alive and keep them coming. Haven't been to your neck of the woods for a while now but on my next visit to MOE I will hopefully be able to catch one of your gigs! All the best! (p.s. still trying to work out your fantastic version of Country Pie but progress is slow so far...).
Awesome bluesman and great harmonica player
Yeaaah 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🎶
Sweet! 😃

Some how this had passed me by. Only goes to show!. Lovely song and a great job as usual!!
Amazing adaptation and interpretation, loved it, could you make a tutorial of the picking? Also, you look so much like Edward Norton.
Who wrote this song. And man you are one of the best finger pickers I've ever seen
i keep coming back to this because its so beautiful!!!!!
Easy to focus on your picking and overlook your voice. Which shouldn’t be overlooked. This is one of my favorites to play and sing.
One of these days I'll make a video of me playing this song the way you do and I'll write youy name in big character with ''THANK YOU MIAN'' . Un Québecois.
Very kind and thoughtful of you to finish this song for all of us. Thank you! There is a magic to Dylan's fingerpicking in those early songs. Okay, you asked if we had any request!s. You bet I do! You did an outstanding video with playing "County Pie" a while back. You just nailed it! But it is pretty quick and tough to follow. I have looked everywhere for a decent tablature or a lesson for it but there is NOTHING. I'm sure many of us would love to learn how to play that one. I know there is a lot going on in picking that one but even a basic approach and/or framework for playing it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for finishing "I Want You" and I will keep my fingers crossed on "Country Pie".....

I can tell you're a big fan with a great ear. And this is one of my all-time favorite Dylan songs... Great arrangement... I loved it, and I will definitely add it to my already extensive playlist. I am a very knowledgeable music fan, writer and musician and I applaud your efforts and thoughtful interpretation of this song. You did yourself proud with this version and I hope you have other music available for what I'm sure will be an ever growing fan base... I will look you up in the days ahead for other videos. Tonight I was watching an excellent interview with T-Bone Burnett (who is my favorite producer) when I saw your video available and since I have always loved this song, I decided to give you a listen... I am so very glad I did. I am very impressed. It is inspiring... One thing I hope happens for you is that Mr. Dylan hears and watches this and throws some light your way. I've heard he can do that... And one other thing, I think I have a good ear and detect an accect.(Scottish? maybe you're from England) I dunno, maybe it's just me not hearing picking it up. I would just like to say, that I didn't read any of the comments as it's quite late and i really want to finish the interview tonight... So, since I didn't read any of them I'm not sure if anyone also picked up on this or mentioned it for that matter... if they have, I apologize. But for all I know you could hail from New Jersey... lol
Thank you, what an incredible version of a wonderful song. Your playing is mind-blowing. Whenever you’re feeling a bit down, play this this, it can’t help but bring a bit of joy into your life, thank you, thank you…
Awesome cover, a great bluesman
So much talent............but so few views!
Wow! Totally fantastic!
It looks like travis picking!?!?
This is so beautifully done. At first the finger picking sounds so intimidating but you have broken it down so well. Thanks for a wonderful lesson!
Who sang the original David?
simply great
absolutely wonderful !
Fantastic playing. Really solid. I am jealous sir. Fucking awesome!
Awesome!! Loved it!
A long time ago there was a guitar player called Blind Blake, he was as good as you
Sounds as wonderful as the 'lone cat' himself!

Wonderful singing and playing!
