Gorgeous chord melody playing!

Many thanks!

I like this a lot! I finger pick this song for practice but haven’t tried adding the melody. Haven’t played much this week but I will give this a try today. Thanks!

Coming out with an absolute banger. I know what I'm doing for the next week.

Hi Chris, another great video. I just wanted to give a video idea for something that I'd love to see. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on guitar setup for fingerstyle. I moved to a lighter gauge string recently and noticed the playability of my guitar dramatically increased. My thoughts are that perhaps the setup for fingersyle should be a bit different to someone who is always strumming chords. Having an easy to play setup on the guitar seems to make a big difference for me, for example I tend to play fingerstyle songs more smoothly on my electric which is setup with a light gauge and low action but obviously the essence of fingerstyle is missing on the electric guitar! Would be interested to hear how you usually setup your guitars, do you go for a lighter gauge of strings with the action as low as possible or do you just keep it all fairly standard?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Cheers Anthony and thanks for the suggestion. My thoughts on set up are that it's really personal to the individual and therefore worth trying out different ones to find out what works best for you. I tend to find a lower action a lot more comfortable than a higher one and I like medium gauge strings and a slim neck but that's just me. As I say you have to try different things to discover what you like best. Cheers

Would you consider putting together a tutorial for Chet’s arrangement of “I’ll See You in my Dreams?” Cheers

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Maybe one day Cam

Guitar tab would be very helpful for this intricate picking pattern....thank you

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I believe the TAB is available in the description

[@mostly_happy4248]

What a classic song, I'll definitely learn this one after I've gotten your tutorial on Mr. Sandman down! (I'm struggling with the finger stretches in the intro :P )

[@trevoradams9770]

Yeah that songs nearly impossible lol

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Mr Sandman certainly is a tricky one, I'm sure you'll get it soon with some more practise

[@jameslabs1]

[@chewtaggeer]

Has anyone heard the doc watson version?

[@Fitz557]

That man makes fabulous versions of old songs. I love his version of Moody River too.

[@thegloobster]

Ooh, and Jerry Reed's weird jazz-y kinda version! Love that part with the "Watched her go, held by her brother" little waltz sorta part he added, such a jam.

[@nolanburns781]

inspired by tommy emmanuel’s version?
