Somliga går med trasiga skor (Cornelis Vreeswijk/trad.) - James Gale

from an impromptu 'performance' at Restaurang Galliano, Göteborg
(Cornelis seems to have used, with very slight modifications, an old English traditional tune associated with the traditional ballad known by various names including 'The House Carpenter'.)

Bästa tolkningar som jag nagonsin har hört! Fantastikt!

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så mycket, Eva! 🎶🙏🧙‍♂

[@karlhultgren1505]

You have done an amazing guitar job 🙏 I salute you wherever you are

[@JamesGale1]

Tack för det, Karl! 🙏🧙‍♂

[@robbanr1069]

Lovely Guitar playing, and a nice voice too. I also like the spontaneous feeling, the relaxed situation. I will definitly come back to this one

[@JamesGale1]

Robban R Tack för det, Robban! As soon as Easter is out of the way I think I'll be listening to some more of your vids too :) Have a good weekend!

[@afish9709]

Detta är en helt fruktansvärt bra tolkning på låten.

[@JamesGale1]

Tack för det, Dood! :)

[@afish9709]

Har du några livespelningar? :)

[@JamesGale1]

Nothing booked :( - will probably be doing another live webcast from home in a couple of weeks though

[@civilizedagedaily1438]

Why haven't I stumbled across this sooner??? This is really beautiful, great job

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you, Civilised! A much appreciated comment 😊🙏🧙‍♂️

[@robbanr1069]

Har kommenterat förut, men jag måste säga igen att den här är för jävla bra! Lyssnar på den då och då och den träffar rätt nerv varje gång.

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så väldigt mycket, Robban :D

[@limpan95951]

Helt otroligt vacker tolkning. Tack för detta, min gode man!

[@JamesGale1]

En härlig kommentar, mycket uppskattad! Tack själv, Simon! 😊🎶🙏🧙‍♂️

[@movementii]

Brought tears to my eyes! 🇸🇪

[@JamesGale1]

I do hope they were tears of joy! 🤪🙏🧙‍♂️

[@randomguy-]

Still the best rendition of this song. I dont know why, but you singing this in a bar just seems right. Weighty.

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you, Random! I try 🙃! 🙏🧙‍♂

[@punpai4003]

Good cover of one of our greatest national treasures.

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you!

[@nonamenola33]

Fantastic! I'm so glad I stumbled across this video.

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you, Lars! I'm glad you stumbled across it too! 😊🎶🙏🧙‍♂️

[@johankaewberg9512]

Herregud, OMFG, how could he sing this so well in Swedish when he obviously does not speak Swedish?

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så mycket, Johan! Living in Sweden, I do try to speak Swedish, but slowly! I think I was not quite young enough when I started to learn (and unfortunately my Swedish wife speaks excellent English!)... 🙃! 🙏🧙‍♂

[@perthyren601]

Jäklar i havet, underbar tolkning !! Bra svenska också //Love from Sweden

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så mycket, Per! 🙏🧙‍♂ (Actually, I've lived in Sweden for 13 years now... 🙂)

[@Apeshaft]

Did not know that it was an old ballad! Väldigt vackert spelat hur som helst! :D

[@JamesGale1]

Thanks Tony! :)

[@Mikmento]

Best version of the song so far, lovely James! Please upload more guitarplay like this! Also, please record a studioversion of this somehow sometime :D

[@JamesGale1]

Mikmento Thanks for that, Mikmento! Afraid buying studio time is out of reach though :)

[@M4aarc]

Älskar denna videon. Önska jag hade tabs till denna :) Gillar dom små specialarna du gör imellanåt!

[@JamesGale1]

Thanks Makke!

[@kipponi]

I found this second time still like your version! I hope you are okay and healthy in these difficult Covid times.

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you kipponi! Yes, still fit and well... you too, I hope! 🙏🧙‍♂️

[@JimmyOhlicious]

Love it! It's a fantastic cover...

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you!

[@JimmyOhlicious]

You’re welcome! 😁👏

[@mattiasberge8460]

James, I first heard this about 5-6 years ago. I still return to listen to your version. What I wouldn't give to hear you play it live :-)

[@JamesGale1]

Thanks Mattias - and apologies for the delay; I've just found your comment!

[@puddihugg]

Fantastiskt! Cornelis har alltid vart en favorit och du gör den rättvisa med mycket känsla! Du spelar aldrig i Göteborgstrakten eller? 👏 🎸 🎶 🍻

[@JamesGale1]

Tack Andreas - jag är glad att du gillar det! Har inte varit ute och giggat på evigheter, inte ens open mics. Jag kanske borde anstränga mig! Jag lägger upp ganska mycket på min Facebook-sida - facebook.com/JamesGale - samt här på KZbin. Dock mest på engelska (jag ÄR engelsk, fast jag bor i Mölndal!)

[@puddihugg]

Yes! Anstränger du dig kommer jag och lyssnar iallafall! 😁

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you, Jimmy! Much appreciated :)

[@kennethkleis264]

wow, this is amazing i love it

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you, Kenneth! 🙏🧙‍♂️

[@JimmyOhlicious]

I love it. Wonderful!

[@JamesGale1]

Long delayed response, I know, but better late than never as the saying goes... thanks very much for your 'like' and comment, fellow Jimmy! 🙏🧙‍♂️

Så vackert.

Tack tack Benjamin! :)

Thanks from one James to another :)

[@RegnStövel]

JAg skulle gärna sjunga tillsammans med dig, du spelar och sjunger verkligen vackert.

[@JamesGale1]

👍🙏🧙‍♂

[@DennisAnthonis]

Very nice James! Language? Where are you here?

[@JamesGale1]

Swedish, Dennis. At what was Restaurang Galliano (name changed now) in Göteborg aka Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. I live a few kilometers south of Göteborg. And thanks again :)

[@Wloppish]

Fan va originell han var Cornelis.

[@Max-ng9hc]

Brytningen tillför något till en redan fantastisk låt. Är du engelsman ?

[@JamesGale1]

Tack! Ja, det stämmer, jag är engelsk :)

[@PHILADELPHIAFLYERS88]

Great cover!

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you!

[@JamesGale1]

Thanks! :)

[@Wloppish]

This is brilliant!!!!!

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så mycket, Woylert! 🙏🧙‍♂️

[@neja4906]

Började spela gitarr för drygt 9 månader sen och är 15. Att lära mig den här låten ska bli mitt nyårslöfte, såklart inte lika bra som denna tolkningen dock. Jättefint!

[@JamesGale1]

Tack, Linnéa! I look forward to seeing/hearing you on KZbin and elsewhere! 🙏🧙‍♂️

[@vbeenderv]

WoW, Awesome!

[@JamesGale1]

Thank you!

[@Mullemeckmannen97]

fint spelat! inte har du nån enkel förklaring för hur du plockar?

[@JamesGale1]

Sorry for delayed response - and thanks! Also sorry, I haven't got en enkel förklaring - I just kind of picked it up and I've never really thought about how I do it...

[@Xipe666]

Grym tolkning, älskar kompet/plocket också, du har ingen tablatur liggandes? :D

[@JamesGale1]

Tack Elmebeck! Re tabs - I'll repeat a reply I made to someone a while back: Sorry, no tabs - I've never been able to get my head round how to use tabs! Just worked out some chords & improvised round them... :) For what it's worth, the raw chord sequence I use (with capo 5, so I'm actually playing it in F/Dm not C/Am) is Am G Am Am | Am G C E | Am C G Em/g | Am G Am Am

[@Xipe666]

No worries, and I'll try and catch you play live sometime; do you have a Facebook-page or something where I can be notified?

[@JamesGale1]

That'd be nice :) Don't get to do many live gigs since I moved to Sweden (probably not young enough!), but I do have one coming up soon: 10 juni kl 16 - Hillefors Grynkvarn, Stenkullen. Farcebook page is facebook.com/JamesGale

[@polisbatong]

Love this cover. Can I find any tabs for the great finger picking?

[@JamesGale1]

Thanks :) Sorry, no tabs - I've never been able to get my head round how to use tabs! Just worked out some chords & improvised round them...

[@davidson2136]

Otroligt vacker tolkning

[@JamesGale1]

Tack så mycket, MrTeXrEX XJ! 🙏🧙‍

[@kipponi]

How the hell only thumb and middle finger? It got really busy ha ha. I use all my fingers to comp myself. But still it is good version different what Cornelis played. This is more english than swedish version. I like it very much.

[@JamesGale1]

🙃 - I think my index and third finger may have plucked a string occasionally too, when you weren't looking - I'll have to check how I play it tomorrow; bit late at the moment, got to think of the neighbours... Thanks for your appreciation though - it's much appreciated! 🎶🙏🧙‍♂️

[@Dijktroubadour]

Great JG.

[@JamesGale1]

dank je Lucy!

[@mattiasberge8460]

There's oh so many of us who would like to know how you play this. Could you not play a part of it with the camera centered on the guitar and your hands, whilst playing it slowly? That would be awesome!

[@JamesGale1]

Maybe in the New Year... (you might have to remind me though!) 🙏🧙‍♂

I'm amazed... So beautiful!! How do I learn how to pick like that? 😅

[@JamesGale1]

Glad you like it! 😊 The answer to your question - I don't know! Perseverence, I guess. Many (!) years ago I was asking myself the same question - I just kept on trying without success and then suddenly it kind of clicked - bang, just like that! Then it was just a matter of carrying on. Not that I rate myself that highly, just reasonably competent in an amateur environment... 🤪🙏🧙‍♂️

[@oscarlarsson3525]

@@JamesGale1 Thanks for responding! I've recently picked up my guitar again and I'm slowly falling in love with the process of becoming a better player. This video really inspired me and I'm very grateful for it! I hope I someday will achieve this level of play, that would be a very fulfilling life goal 😊 Thank you for sharing it!
