Trey’s the Best yesterday, Best today & by far- The Best tomorrow!!

[@deano41.123]

And this is just another good reason for you to be recognised at IBMA this year and win that award.😉👍

[@eugenelapointe9181]

Our Canadian Legend... You Do him Great Justice...

[@ct23therock]

Listening to that shredding is all I needed for a good birthday weekend!

[@TreyAHensley]

Awesome! Happy Birthday!

[@ct23therock]

I appreciate it, sir!

[@bretmaples]

Happy Birthday

[@Steve-si8hx]

Shredding is terrible. But this sounds amazing

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

@@Steve-si8hx Agreed! He's not "shredding" here: He's playing fast with incredible taste and skill and making great musical choices. Shredding is fast playing that is musically pointless. And inherently dumb.

[@philsco47]

Holy crap! WOW! Loved it!

[@mikehalpern384]

brilliant, thanking you ! :-)

[@chrispompano]

Time for that one way ticket to Nashville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dozensides]

Great cover, Trey. You know, Gordon Lightfoot said he thought Tony Rice did an excellent job on his songs. I bet he would say just the same with this. You're the man, man.

[@shawnt626]

You kick ass!!!

[@DunkLV702]

This is fantastic

[@richardcassinger8043]

Awesome job!

[@xNecromancerxxx]

Who the fuck are you, dude??? That was so damn good, holy shit!! You deserve a goddamn metal for that shit! Damn, that was phenomenal! Way to go, bro, that was really really good!! 🥇

[@StevenEarney]

Very nice sundown cover Trey!! Excellent vocal an acoustic play!! I just posted my acoustic version of this song today, and saw your cover... nicely done!! Steve

[@jessicanna123]

Wow that voice totally caught me off guard

[@nikpellinen2010]

Man, I could listen to you play and sing all day. If you make your way up through the midwest I need to catch a show

[@Jake-qy9fq]

Great cover!! I love the bluegrass sound

[@bretmaples]

I would love to hear you redo Jimmy Brown the News Boy. That was where I first heard of you.

[@ericmills9839]

Holy sh*t.

[@MuskMonkey]

Yo homie! That was badass! Bluesey af riffs some modern country riffs.. talented dude

[@eray9934]

Excellent guitar playing!

[@BST501]

❤

[@SCAW1972]

Excellent job, man

[@MerleHazard]

Nice!

[@CJ4S147]

Love it! Awesome rendition and the picking only makes it better. I can’t remember who I heard sing this I don’t think it was Gordon though. I distinctly remember at least two part harmony on the chorus

[@spencermurphy5796]

You should cover the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald next

[@235buz]

I just bought a new D18 a few months ago, but for some unknown reason I can't get it to sound like this. Any tips? 🙂

[@user-yp4jy1en5n]

I play guitar, 30 years, casually… When I dream, that’s how I play…. That was flawless. Left field cover. 12 string strummer to drop d flat pick blues. Right hand!

[@cheepchicken]

Man you could do an album of covers in your style and it would be pretty great

[@tim-cook]

Sounds great! Are you using Martin Monel strings?

[@UAL320]

Strings sound pretty dead….don’t know if they are, but it suits the song perfectly…

[@user-yp4jy1en5n]

Was that hotel room near a crossroads?????🔥

[@klyde171]

Do housefire by tyler Childers

[@Peters518]

A voice and a guitar in an unbeatable combo!! This file an impressing ”killer” with a simple recording lightyears far away from musical simplicity with a natural acoustic sound .. just super!! High level a too low comment!!Peet the Swede

[@BigShotMike95]

Raymond Reddington'd be proud!

[@MRPIFFY1989]

hey brother what tuning you using? Is that drop D capo on 3 key of F? or just standard capo on 3 key of F?

[@sideonsid2885]

Is the string gauge really 13-56 ? You make the bends look very easy . Is it possible to mention the action height on your high E string and low bass string ?

[@TreyAHensley]

Yeah they are 13-56 medium strings. Not sure about the string height though. High enough to not buzz with mediums. 😁

[@the_bilbs4823]

Dude anyways so good. Voice sounds great! We can tell you’re a big fan of the song. When is the tour?

[@TreyAHensley]

Thank you very much! Touring now! Treyhensley.com

[@the_bilbs4823]

@@TreyAHensley in Denver with Tommy Emmanuel 😦 just have to wait till tickets become available.. unless you got the presale code? 🤔

[@MalEvansUSA]

You are a bad ass

[@liamoshea9383]

A hint of randy Travis in that voice

[@Randy-dh9zr]

is that in drop D tuning?

[@kevdadd1976]

Holy shit lol

[@randyrhyne1195]

Playing the motel room circuit. Check the hallway once in a while, the girls who work there like to listen.

[@BelveevBayou]

My man I can get deep in the pocket and be the train. Let me put one track down to a tune. I play to B. Strings a lot and know the bluegrass feel. Give me a shot

[@jasondoiron2020]

I got new ear buds from the wife she said she thinks your great but can't listen 18 hrs a day lol cheers

[@zachshiray8998]

It was good but not right. Gordon didnt use that d shape. He used an a shape with the pinky suspended two frets higher on the b string. Im sorry i dont know theory. But it was an amazing cover played your own way and i guess at the end of the day thats all that matters. Loved the fills though. Never thought id hear a chicken pickin cover of this song😂

[@TreyAHensley]

I sing it in a different key…hence the different chord shape. If a song gets moved around to fit a particular vocal register, sometimes that means the chord moves and takes the chord shapes with it.

[@Bushman9]

Trey, is it just me or do you have way too much time on your hands? 😆

[@TreyAHensley]

Lots of hotel free-time when you play music for a living. Lol

[@bigbossman7991]

I hear Whitley in your voice on this one of Lightfoot’s best.
