Shakey Graves "If Not For You" // Gondola Sessions

[@belogio]

To whom ever it may concern....this is the soundtrack of my numerous drives up and down Highway 99 in Seattle, WA. Any time im heading out of Queen Anne toward Everett, I got this (and many other indie folk tracks) playing. Peace. ✌

[@GondolaSessions]

Good driving Music for sure ✌️ glad you dig it

[@Gsheard]

[@seraphim1069]

[@B1gPopA_PumP]

[@Marshall1723]

Seeing him live is the most amazing thing ever!

[@chriswilson6630]

The best gondola session Ive heard man.

[@TheKastus17]

Always listen to Shakey when I ski, this is literally perfect

[@GondolaSessions]

Glad to hear it Frasier and hope you enjoy the early season turns 🎿🎿

[@16shicp]

That was great. Listened to it many times in a row

[@TheHumbleLOUD]

Absolutely the best version of this song. gets me every time.

[@hwanjung8230]

Hooflip agreed

[@Sublime_37]

❤️🙏🏽 And that’s s really cool, and I guess a gritty tone on his guitar.

[@annabelpoulton6983]

Just cannot get anough of Watching you and the vibe you create. I am in awe of your music. Thanks.

[@allecfamily1832]

This is my favorite shakey graves song

[@knoxpittman2799]

same i usually listen to it two or three times over hahah

[@TurdFurgeson315]

and this version in the gondola is one of the best

[@timrichards8636]

how does this not have a million views?

[@ashthetrashboat1982]

The where is my mind esque intro.....❤❤❤❤

[@Shadow-n-Light]

I am a new fan. Everything about you is endearing. I love your style. I could listen to you play your guitar and sing all day. And the knee slapper is not bad either! I am new to Texas so I hope I can see you play live sometime.

[@bowtieblue24]

That was great lovin’ the music and the view

[@apoloniaarteaga2520]

4:11 is pure magic I love that man

[@montkennamer3748]

This performance was awesome.

[@evanpeterson4786]

Favorite version so far... Can't wait to hear it live on November 14th!!

[@jriank589]

He inspires me to be a better guitarist...I love his tone.

[@jurassicpork765]

Just dont buy one of those guitars, unless you get one of the expensive American made ones, i had to take 3 of the Chinese ones back to guitar center for dead/scratched frets lol. I ended up with a les paul, but i'd still like a hollowbody just to play Shakey stuff on

[@jriank589]

Good to know Saltee, thanks! :) I was wondering if someone was going to reply since most comments are months or years ago. I am just getting into it. I have a les paul but I feel like I'm not good enough for it so I play on this crappy acoustic...I wish I was good enough to play Shakey songs! I love how he fingerpicks and his tone. Good motivation :)

[@Toychica11178]

I disagree, I bought one of the $600 ones used from guitar center and it was phenomenal. I didn't even play it first as I had it shipped from another store, so I was def lucky. You should always play any guitar before u buy it, but its very possible to get a great cheaper made Loar

[@stephrgmn102]

The Loar by my experience is great. Just change the pickup and the electronics component, get it set up by a luthier, and tadaa you have a very good hollowbody guitar. Seriously, don't brag about "blabla american made bla chinese", unless you get yourself a handmade guitar. This is the same machineries used in USA, Mexico and Asia. Sure, when you pay for a Gibson you'll get an axe made with better wood and component than a The Loar, buy it does the job very well when you don't have 3000 dollars to spend in a guitar.

[@haleysunraes]

Hot damn! This man's amazing.

[@eberguerrero5443]

Did you guys see that one tree????

[@PandaChaos36]

Woooo!!!! Kill it my brotha sing it!!!

[@janwilliams3624]

Genius ❤️👏🏻

[@coreendwyer6217]

I really wanted to see what Alé (which direction does the line go 😅) was doing on the neck of his geetar, much more than the video shows. I really love the demo version, and would love to see what he is doing when doin the crazy fingerpickin that sounds like his own backup (or is that legit 2 layered recordings? Idk!)

[@masonblank97]

anyone know where I can get a drum kit like that? lol

[@theoehrhardt8117]

Mason Blake It's build by him self

[@sakatooch69]

Groovy.

[@amysuevanmeter252]

[@crystianzamora3016]

does anyone have the tabs?

[@chriswilson6630]

Yes man mint

[@rickhumphrey9943]

this dude is awesome

[@JesusChrist-gf5bm]

Shakey has a bit of Chris Whitley's Ghost in him....

[@Over599]

What tune is that? Open c?

[@josephesposito3499]

Are you using the honeytone mini amp or some other Dan electro?

[@GondolaSessions]

Good question, think it was a little honeytone but may have to go back through the archives and see if we have a clear shot of it

[@GondolaSessions]

Following up to confirm that it was a honeytone, think it was an N-10

[@josephesposito3499]

@@GondolaSessions THANKS

[@robertkemp6937]

Post-Stetson, apparently. : )

[@cn9630]

[@MrEducations]

Open D flat

[@alexterrel9594]

Nick Enderle I think dadf#ad

[@Metal-Possum]

This is the least memorable thing I've heard in a while. Is "noise folk" a genre?

[@ernestferrante4719]

annoying intro

[@josefshreve6090]

This performance is terrible.

[@southernoregonmade6568]

Your opinion is terrible.

[@leomoon7945]

relax Josef... it's not a "performance", just a fun musical moment. Please post your own so we might compare.

[@steveoscaro]

Literally the first negative comment I've come across on a Shakey video. I don't like it.
