What a lovely analysis of a brilliant musician. When you look at Nanci’s expression she’s totally lost in the song and you really get the sense of someone telling you their personal story. There is also a magic in the way Fil discovers the guitar part in real time, you feel the joy and surprise as he interprets her playing. Thank you Fil for honouring Nanci’s memory.

Ron Kavana and his band Alias just blew us away at Edmonton in 1992! I don't think any of us knew who he was or what to expect, but it was easily one of the 10 best musical performances I have ever seen. They would have eaten U2 for breakfast, that's how hot they were!

Nanci Griffith was a treasure. It's sad to know she's gone. I listen to her music on every road trip. Her music is perfect for drives across Texas and Louisiana. I also saw her at Bass Music Hall in Austin, Texas almost 30 years ago: Nanci, her Blue Moon Orchestra, and the Austin Symphony Orchestra played together that night, and everyone in the Hall sang every song with her. It was magic. I hadn't seen the news of her death. I am very saddened by it. RIP, Nanci Griffith. Such a talent! What a beautiful storyteller, poet, song writer! Her memory and music will always be a blessing. Her music gave me great joy and happiness over the years.

That harmonic on the high e at fret twelve, while part of the progression is also an effect. As Nanci explains on her live album, she treasures a Woolworth's store with two levels and an elevator because as the elevator arrives on each floor, a small bell (like the harmonic) rings out through the store. i remember that ringing well from my youth shopping with my mom in the local Woolworth's (or the Five and Dime as it was known in the US). RIP Nanci. Going up!

Any of us who have memories of those stores are truly fortunate. How often do those of us who do have those memories look at a building, or a spot where a building one was, and think back to the sounds, the scents and the people? I certainly do and sometimes it's with a smile and other times, with watery eyes. No matter which it is, I know that it was special and I was lucky.

The choirs in heaven are enriched...and we who are left behind are poorer. Search for her full explanation of the "chime" in her playing...the sound of an elevator at Woolworth's reaching its destination. RIP Nanci.

By the time I'd finished watching my first half hour of Nanci on Austin City Limits I had a new favorite singer/songwriter. She wrote some of the most beautiful poetry ever set to music and though she never wanted to be a singer she was an amazingly expressive performer of not only her own songs but those of so many other great writers. The world is a bit less wonderful now for the passing of a wonderful soul. My favorite poetic image of Nanci's, about the Texas plains -- "hot platinum summer days when the dust is still and the cotton prays for rain"

Always on the look out for new stuff. Current favourites are King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Beautify Junkyards, Garcia Peoples and Widespread.

At the 1985 Winnipeg Folk Festival I had the great honor of meeting Nancy and having a brief, pleasant chat. Unfortunately, I also had the distinct misfortune of following her on stage. I was in Horse Sense, an old-timey cowboy string band duo, lively but rough and relatively early in our inception. We would’ve been better off scheduled for a much earlier slot. She was a consummate performer who radiated confidence with witty stage banter singing finely crafted songs with a beautiful voice and solid inventive guitar work. She had the audience in the palm of her hands. How can you ever follow that? I saw her perform several other times at the festival, but was very thankful I was not scheduled to be on the stage anytime close to her performance. She was a class act, or as Fil says, “the whole package.”

Nice review...you always add something more to the video. Enrichment. Nanci sang this song on Austin City Limits with a lead off discussion of how the song came about. She started solo with other elements of the band coming in as the song went along. The click (pick) you hear from time to time was meant to represent the elevator going up and down at Woolworth's. As the band came in she would give them a smile and a little recognition with that little elevator click. We had a similar store where I grew up so it was very familiar to me. Today, two years later, I miss her more and more. Thanks.

I play myself and I always marveled at her ability to play such complex guitar parts while singing so beautifully. I was fortunate enough to see her live many times and every time was magical. To lose her and John Prine within months of each other seems so cruel. RIP Nanci.

Glad to hear so many others who loved her work. I didn't have a sense of that before and thought she should be a better known artist, with her talent. But, she was welcomed by many.

Such a precise analysis, thank you Fil to explain and show us how complicated it is in the dynamism Nanci demonstrated in her playing. I love her finger style demonstration while singing.

Hey Fil, been awhile since I've checked in. Nanci Griffith was one of my favorite singer songwriters over the years. i saw her a number of times live in Texas and California. Once with John Prine back in the late 80s. Her finger picking was amazing at the time as not too many women played so intricately. I am a fingerstyle player and have learned most of the many styles of alternating picking and different tunings. A fun video watching you take it apart. Nice job lad... RIP Nanci....

Wow Fil. I had no idea who Nanci was here in the USA. However when I saw your post Top level Guitar playing I had to check this out. Wow how you continue to do videos on all these differeant styles of musicians is amazing. I think you have the best job in the world and your great at it. Thanks a million times over for sharing with all of us.

Thank you Fil for another fascinating study. I found your guitar-playing analysis really increased my awareness of Nanci's skills, beyond her wonderful singing. She was really great, in more ways than I knew.
