@@JohnBlair-p2z That's very kind of you John, it's my own arrangement which inevitably takes considerable time to create. Message me on my bandcamp site if you want to discuss further.

@@nextaxprorescuefromirsrock1191 thanks very much. A very merry Christmas to you. 🙂

@@EagleUkes We hope you and all your family have loads of good times this Christmas. All the very best to you. 👍👍👍

@MikeFowlerguitars ..thanks Mike...❤️💖

@@SingleMalt77005 very kind sir. I hope you have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas.

@@RodericSpode you're probably right, and thanks for stopping by. It really is an excellent film, and a very evocative piece of music by Mr Scott

@@MikeFowlerguitars Thanks. I enjoyed this video and your Danse Macabre video. Looking forward to viewing and listening to more.

@@MikeFowlerguitars Thanks. I enjoyed this video and your Danse Macabre video. Looking forward to viewing and listening to more.

Thank you my friend, you won't have to wait long, there's a Christmas tune scheduled for release at 10am. I mean it. Thanks very much for your interest. If you like Study in Terror and Danse Macabre, you may like the album I released this year. mikefowler.bandcamp.com/album/horn-dancing Both tunes are on there, you don't have to buy it to listen. It's on Spotify, Amazon, Tidal etc as well.

@@jae_l that's really nice of you to say so, all the very best to you Jae. And Nancy 🙂

@@coolinva what a delightful thing to say, if you contact me via my bandcamp page, here (where there's also an album eminently suitable for this time of year), I'll need your email obviously. bandcamp.com/contact?b=2264930943&n=Mike%20Fowler&p=https%3A%2F%2Fmikefowler.bandcamp.com%2F

@@frankguitar9533 thanks very much for stopping by. Your comment means a lot to me

@@EagleUkes haha. Cheers mate. And to all of you as well. We'll likely bump into each other again over the crisp nights ahead. Thanks for saying that about the video, they do take quite a lot of editing, but I think they look more interesting in the end. Your comment makes it all worthwhile 👍👍

@@leoroberts Thanks a lot man, means a lot. It's just such a lovely, sad, poignant melody isn't it. There's so much music out there, which doesn't get heard. 👍👍

That's very kind of you to say. It must be a little frustrating regarding your pinky, but I think this is still doable for you. The 5/4 sequence is the more difficult bit, but you could probably get away with just doing the chord shapes instead , I think it goes from a C to an F, then a Bb and then what looks like a Bb maj7 but with open A bass. If you need any help let me know.

Many thanks. I'll let you know if I get there, via my channel, just started @badhandpete

@Mightyfineart 👍

@@cruzehistoria thanks very much for stopping by. 👍

@@joealexandercook thanks very much for stopping by.

@@bendemjohnny hello John, thanks for saying all that, and for the sub. The guitar is a Lakewood M32 custom. If you use Tabledit already that makes it easier, I'll just send you the tef file. I'll need your email, the normal way to get hold of me is through the contact artist setting on my bandcamp page. Cheers.

@@EagleUkes thanks Graham. Sentiments of the season to you 😈😈👻

@@Aut0five Thank you sir. I quite enjoy making these little things now.

@@ElMcMeen1a That's just made my week! I learnt that tuning from .. You! God bless you El. One of the finest acoustic guitarists out there.

@@MikeFowlerguitars Well, thank YOU for the kind words!

@@EagleUkes Cheers Graham. All the best to you all 👍👍

Thanks Paul, really nice to hear from you.

@@AlOwens from a guitarist and arranger as good as you Al, that always means a lot. Thanks very much.

Thanks Ron, I'll likely do more videos this way.

@@ironmonger100 coming from you Shaun, that's just made my day. And it's been a good day. You've just made it better. And thanks very much for the sub. By the way, I'm just listening to your arrangement of Alfie - absolutely sublime. Really.

@@Pauls_Archive Cheers Paul, you too. 👍

Thanks very much. One day I'll get your views!

@@jackblack2646 can you contact me via my bandcamp page and also subscribe to the channel. Thanks.

Just did, subscribed and after that sent you a bandcamp message.

@jackblack2646 thanks Jack. I'll get back to you tonight

Are the tabs there?

@@Pauls_Archive thanks mate, still looking forward to hearing your music when you get a chance to send it. Not forgotten. I was thinking of you the other day when I heard some version of She's leaving home, and I remembered you doing it (better).

@@MikeFowlerguitarsMike, you are too kind sir!. Yes, I will Some tracks over!. Did you say you were using wetransfer now?. Is it with the email I have for you?, Let me know and I’ll get too it, Thanks again Mike, Paul

@@EagleUkes thanks Graham, really nice to hear from you. That's my sister - lovely and calming. 🙂 All the very best to you,Ros and Faye. You make wonderful music.

@@MikeFowlerguitars ...thanks Mike and sending love to you and Amanda..👍💕

@@matiasbockerman my contact details are in the description I think, if you want the tabs Matias, very kind of you to comment.

@@LizzyHaughton hahaha. Love that comment. Yes, Anji is here, though I'm not doing a tutorial. I should actually shouldn't I ? Thanks for that. 👍

@@MikeFowlerguitars Well I'm still struggling with those last bars, but I shall prevail, with this and with my very excellent guitar teacher whois Barbara, and writes beautiful songs that you can hear on her albums. Also, I have lots of books about all sorts of things if you wanted to widen your reading a bit. I can play Greensleeves a bit, so that's something. Anyway thank you. I think you maybe live in Cumbria or somewhere up that way.

I'm not sure what that means my friend, but thanks very much for stopping by. 😀

I really like that. Thanks very much. I used to teach back in the 90s, may go back to it someday. I'm tempted to pin your comment, but then that might be seen as showing a bit of ego 😉. All the very best to you

@@MikeFowlerguitars You are welcome. I've worked on CG off and on for many years, and I can play most of it, but the fine points have eluded me; however, I saved your video and I'm going back to work on it. You should teach because you have the gift. Onward!

@user-lh3iw7tg7q Will, you're a star. Any tips, any advice, give me a shout.

@@MikeFowlerguitars Mike old sport, Davey Graham's "Anji" is one I can play pretty well. I copped Paul Simon's arrangement to some extent and then freewheeled my own version. Do you play it?

It's here Will. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Dbc5iHrp2gntksi=h_RGl4kMQNUW6hWe Just listened to it for the first time in ages. I remember when I recorded it trying to get the timing right. Had to keep listening to the Davy Graham version, I think some of the timing was peculiar from the beginning. Have you recorded your version?

It was indeed Keith. I'm glad it's done!

Thank you very very much!

Thank *you* Thomas for your interesting comment there. I remember playing this 15 years ago, and a gentleman there knew the Judy Garland version, not knowing it was an Irish air first. I didn't know about the Garland version at all. I also didn't know Clannad had recorded it, I've been listening to them a lot recently as I'm rewatching Robin of Sherwood. I'm going to try and find their version now. Always learning, and that is good. That's why we're here I suppose. This arrangement is by Duck Baker. All the very best to you.

@@MikeFowlerguitars The title on Clannads album is "Pretty Maid"

@thomasmccormack1183 👍👍

Thanks very much!

It's on sheet music direct I think Tom. Thanks very much.

@@MikeFowlerguitars Thanks! Found it.

Thanks very much for taking the time to comment.

@@MikeFowlerguitars just the style that you play is fun to aspire from. Keep it up!

Sounds lovely Mike!. Really relaxing stuff!.

Muchas gracias. Este es mi propio arreglo. No pude encontrar un arreglo en Internet así que hice el mío propio. Lo hago mucho. Lamentablemente solo tengo la mitad de la tablatura en mi computadora, no sé por qué. Aunque puede que sea suficiente. Si me envía su correo electrónico a través de mi página de Bandcamp, podemos discutir esto más a fondo.

That's very kind of you to say José. 👍

Hello Paul, I have very fond memories of those jamming nights in O'Grady's. That was nearly twenty years ago. You were always a very fine player and singer. I recall we did a good version of She's Leaving Home. I also remember you singing The Littlest Hobo! Wonderful to hear from you. Let's keep in touch.

@@MikeFowlerguitarsHello again Mike, 20 years ago - my goodness! Where has that time gone. I have to say mate, you don’t look any different, time has definitely been kind to you sir!, I appreciate your kind words mate, coming from a player as accomplished as your good self, I will take it as a great compliment!, I loved those Jam nights in there!, I always felt it a great shame that they didn’t take off more, because it could of been quite something, One memory that springs to mind, is me showing you my version of Mud’s - Lonely This Christmas, in my best Les Grey voice ha ha!, - great memories, Is there anywhere I can drop you my email etc?. It would be great to keep in touch, All the best 🎸

Thanks a lot Keith, from a fellow arranger that means a lot. Sorry for being such a stranger to the UK forum, I'll return today. You're a good bunch.

Just noticed you're back on AcousticSoundboard Forum - excellent!

Thanks very much sir. I hope one day to have a fraction of the number of views that your videos get. 😊

That's wonderful Dave, thank you very much for commenting and noticing.

You are too kind Mr Burns 😊
