Thank you! You are a very good guitarist also :-)

Thanks!

Thank you kindly!

Thanks :-) It was something we put together quickly.... It is hard for all three of us to be able to get together at the same time, so practice time is limited.

Thanks! It was fun to do...

Well, if we look far enough down the family tree trunk, we just might be! :-) Yes, we are brothers. From left to right, Tom, Ben and Jim. Thanks for the kind comment!

That is a nice compliment, and much appreciated!

Thanks!

@@thomashayes3417 YOU'RE ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY WELCOME & BELOVED, MY BROTHERS & FAMILY!!! (BTW, ALL Y'ALL WOULD LOOK AS GOOD IN BIB OVERALLS AS BEN DOES!!!)

Thank you!

Thanks 🙂 I've been trying to work out your Akinsdale... not having a lot of luck so far, but I love that song!

@@thomashayes3417 that’s pretty cool and I’m honoured that you’re trying one of my songs! I had a lot of fun transcribing your song Abram Falls! I wish I had tabs for Akinsdale but unfortunately, I’m just not good at making that kind of stuff. I don’t know how to read music as well as I learn, strictly by ear. Nonetheless I try to record my videos, showing my hands so the people watching them can hopefully figure them out by seeing the positions of my hands on the fretboard. good luck good luck!! 🙏👍👍

@@colindamo - We "play by ear" too. I think there are both advantages and disadvantages to playing that way. It's fun anyway!

@@thomashayes3417 yes I totally agree, playing by ear is fun. it doesn’t feel like homework 👍

Cool! Ben actually had his with him, but we didn't use it.....

Thanks - it was fun to do 🙂

Thank you!

Thanks 🙂

Thanks so much!!

Very glad you liked it :-) Thanks!

Thank you sir! Yes, I really like the Yamaha....

Thank you... the tuning is an open C with the 1st diminished, capo on the 4th...

Appreciate that! The guitar is a Yamaha AC3R

Thank you 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks - I've always been a Lightfoot fan. Yes, it is an original tune.

Thanks!!

Thankee kindly :-)

Thank you kindly!

Thankee :-) It was so hot we almost didn't try it!

thanx!

@@thomashayes3417 ABSOLUTELY WELCOME & BELOVED!!!

Appreciate that 🙂

Thanks!

Thank you. I enjoyed playing this one...

Appreciate that - thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! - it was nice meeting you....

Glad you enjoyed!

Really nice meeting you as well Donnie. Most of what we do on the "Hayes Brothers" channel is original tunes that we've came up with ourselves, but for some really good old time gospel songs our brother Ben has a channel called "Afternoons With the Prophets." He plays with a couple of guys and probably the majority of their songs are old gospel songs. There's a few on there that I sat in and played with them. I think you'll enjoy it. God bless

Thanks - you do pretty well yourself :-)

Thanks!

Appreciate that!

Thank you Sir! You know I can say the same thing about you - one of a kind :-)

Thank you so much! I was intrigued by the DADEAD tuning you used on Route 22 - which is awesome - and started fooling around with it some.

@@thomashayes3417 ya it’s a neat tuning and you can easily get to it from DADF#AD 👍👍

Just stuff that gets stuck in my head - the only way to get it out is to play it 🙂

Thanks! The dang airplane almost drowned me out in the middle part :-)

Aw, shucks! 😎 Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy! But it's not as slick as your Route 22 🙂

@@thomashayes3417 Route 22 is a beautiful song but I didn’t write it. I wish I did though! it was written by Richard Crandell. Nonetheless, I think your songs are equally slick because they are original and you have a style of your own! Love it!

@@colindamo Thx very much!

Thanks Bro 🙂

Thanks!

Thanks buddy :-)
