being able to play as beautifully as this is my goal in life. I was 8 when you posted this and now i'm 16, watching this video is inspirational

I'm not the best guitarist but you really helped me learn this. This video has helped me increase my skill, thank you

Some boy 👌❤️

Tortured genius for sure, i imagine his wife was more tortured being married to an abusive man

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! I have just watched a 1989 concert fot prince Charles bithday ( now KING) it was fantastic with tina turner, phill collins, paul mc, mark knophler,goerge micheal, ect.. great! How great to be alive in tbe 80s. The next up John Martyn at tbe bbc.. fuck love him.. ( my hubby not a fan) so searching on youtube for the song tbe broght me hear.. couldn't find straight away.. but found some great vid of John over the years.. ❤HE NEEDS TO BE RESURRECTED!!! He is our connection to the past that shows we are all just HUMAN.. dont fear what we do.. just enjoy what we have! He has made me realise we are only here for a short time! The earth is BILLIONS of year old.. xx listen and Enjoy!! Xx peace, love to ALLLLLLL!

Known his music for more than 50 years now.... Always good to revisit.

My heart is breaking- reading his biography- been a lover of his music since the 70’s - and find he was such an abusive husband , father and businessman - so sad

This is just beautiful. Seen john many times over the years.. was at his last live performance vicar st Dublin. Played the whole album

Beautiful

He wrote this when he split up with Beverly my flatmate Peanut Mann used to play with him Bert Janch and John Renbourne back when they played small collage do's Peanut was the best 12 string player of all of them

FFS he is ripping my heart and soul with the lyrics but my god what about that solo……magical magical performance

Love it 😍 John, what a legend 😊

Fantastic rendition 👍🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Been a fan of John Martyn’s for years… never have heard this song…

Great tutorial!

Great version!

Well played. Great song

On this very day, I am learning of John Martyn for the first time. Watching this feeling like where have I been all my life? How could I not have known? 🎶

The last time I saw him, he had a pint of Bacardi in him and I had two pints of wine in me...

Legend ❤

Never seen this before, I am in tears. Just so intense and emotionally heavy. A day when you haven't listened to Johnny is a day wasted. The older I get, the more he resonates on my life. RIP Johnny too Bad x

Nothing can compare with this version... Rest In Peace John

never ever, as long as I live..

This is from John Martyn's second Whistle Test appearance in 1973, on Tuesday October 16th. The second number he played was 'Outside In'.

Beautiful. I sang harmonies with John on his Well Kept Secret album in 1982. A big talent gone too soon.

When the pain of living and of love contrives to make music this expressive it will resonate forever. An astonishing, heartbreaking performance by an uncompromising genius. RIP John.

If I can't be a happy man, I won't be no one at all 0:23 (the look from him to the camera)

A lifetime of such amazing music has been my greatest gift

I like his playing but when he sings it's a bit like he's had a few ciders and forgotten the words. 😂

What a talent , shame more people don’t know who the Legend is ,

Oh, I still Love him

DADGAD but tuned a tone low and capoed back up for some reason … probably slackness

Thank you sir! One of my favorites. So happy there's a good lesson for it.

Fantastic

I've been picking this song for over 20 years,,,,, first I've ever seen like this

love this love JM

thanks for sharing the tutorial!!:) would be great to have tabs or details/slower explanation on the advanced version/full version!

Such a beautiful and unique phrasing and singing. A truly great artist.

Probably the best example of a blues that isn't a conventional blues (if you know what I mean 🤔)...

Beautiful song, great performance! Good old Hamish Imlach, what a legend.

Maestro

Absolute British music legend John was. Such a talented artist whose lyrics told many stories in my opinion. ☺️

This is what musicians should aspire to be. This is what we should aspire to create. Pure, unfiltered emotion and beauty.

I‘ll miss him till I die !

The way he plays this makes it so discordant, yet it works perfectly. It the best representation of being under the influence of a class A drug that I have ever heard. I dont advocate using, but this is utterly superb!

Superb! I never knew that a guitar could be played this way, until I istened to this. Utterly outstanding, and a perfect representation of subject matter. It never gets old.

they need to turn the keyboard player down a bit. I heard Martyn was pretty horrible to his wife, which makes his self pity on Grace and Danger a bit hard to stomach, but its hard to deny the man's talent as a singer, songwriter and a musician

Brilliant mate
