Sounds beautiful Nathaniel!🔥🔥🔥🔥💥

[@Zeppelinbarnatra]

The main man!! Thanks so much Rick! 🙏🙏🙏

[@dirkhudson7743]

Hey Rick, you've gotta be the man with the right connections... get Bruce to see this.... Wouldn't it be fantastic if Mr. Murphy was a guest performer for The Boss on stage! Just sayin' I have faith in you!

[@dep1001]

It really does!

[@palmplaza812]

You gotta get Nathaniel on an episode

[@john.john.johnny]

@@Zeppelinbarnatra Besides here where can we see you play live?

[@TenThumbsProductions]

His touch, the dynamics, the nuance… it sounds like Bruce is singing the song. This is tremendous. It’s perfect. 10/10 only because you can’t be more perfect than perfect. Wow.

[@Zeppelinbarnatra]

Thank you so much!

[@charlescauldron]

Fender should just pay this guy and make this a Telecaster commercial, because I absolutely want to buy one now.

[@WrangleMcDangle]

this is one of the most beautiful guitar arrangements i've ever heard in my life

[@daveacksh]

For anyone interested in understanding it a little better: He posted on IG that it was in open E-tuning with the exception of the high b-string being tuned down to F#. That's how he gets that one particular harmonic. (No clue how he got that idea! Please correct me if I'm wrong). That should help people understand his left hand a little more. Your posts are amazing Nathaniel!

[@Zeppelinbarnatra]

Thanks David! You are correct. A big priority was getting the harmonics to ring out for as long as possible as they were mimicking the keyboard part of the song. However, with the B string being tuned down so low, it was nigh on impossible for it to stay in tune due to the gauge of the string. For this one, I actually got a tech at the store to put on a G string where the B would normally be and just tuned that to F#. Worked well but had intonation issues if you listen carefully you might be able to hear it.

[@kevingriffin9893]

Based on his left positions I figured it was some kind of open tuning. Thanks for pointing out exactly what it is ~

[@therealdoug1000]

Ha. Tuning was my first question. Thanks for this!

[@uberjam-sam8512]

I got to the open E tuning and kept trying to play along. Huge thanks for the clarification. Such a beautiful tune, played with such passion and clear sense of purpose. Cheers!

I LOVE THIS FUCKIN ARRANGEMENT SO MUCH!!!so much,,,,,I cant stop listening to it,,,love the harmonics,,I feel that harmonics,natural, and artificial, are the most gorgeous sound, a stringed instrument can possibly produce,,,I've yet to hear any sound to match it,in this life,,,, tho a wood thrush' song, (a bird),,comes close,,( google it,,,you WONT believe it)!!!!,,,hauntingly brilliant,,,if God allows us mere mortals, such exquisite sounds,here, on earth,,,,imagine what awaits us , in Heaven????,,,,,dude you must have three brains ,all firing at one harmony,,,just subbed,,,,mesmerized!!!!!THANKS for the blessing, bro!!!!😎

Beautiful and moving. Thank you.

[@santiagoelie]

Really love this arrangement. He's totally on fire🔥

[@calebking4638]

I was just sitting here, half ass picking along with the music in a movie my lady was diggin on, the starling, and I believe it was Brandi Carlisle... anyhow, as it ended, I started riffing on a A shuffle, kinda bluesy but not flat picking blues, and it reminded me of a tune so I came to YT, and searched fire by the boss, and of course my favorite rendition of it is Robin Williams doing it Elmer Fudd style, so I watched it, and so I scrolled a little bit when it ended, and happened upon this wonderful gem. I've played along with it at least a dozen times before this comment. This is absolutely euphoric to me, and I'm mesmerized, entranced, and can't get enough of it. Rest assured I'll check all your stuff out.
