This has got to be one of the most beautiful acoustic arrangements I've ever heard. Played very well too.

That was Kevin Scott Macmichael a Canadian guitarist from Halifax, NS, songwriter and record producer, best known for being a member of the 1980s UK-based pop-rock band, Cutting Crew, who had a number-one hit in 1987 with " Died in Your Arms". Cutting Crew was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1987 playing the guitar on that track for Robert Plant.

Great lesson (again!) from a great album and probably the best version of this song - i'm sure Tim won't mind me saying R.I.P. :-) I've been a fan from Privettricker days.......like a lot of people i imagine. Many thanks for all the lessons and covers - great playing, great human being!

I like this version. Never knew Plant did a cover of this. Being from Australia, I've only really known the Swanee version, which is awesome. Great playing James

Great lesson !! For those of you looking for another take on the picking pattern, here it is. The great George Shuffler , a bluegrass guitar player came up with this : DDU, DDU, DU. This rolling rhythm imitates a banjo roll fill , perhaps Plant learned this from being around other musicians from that genre. Anyway if you take the time to learn this, it will add a new dimension to your fills. Please look up Alan Shelton, he is a wonderful example. What I love about Shuffler's pattern is you can emphasis any note you want and really move the flow of the tune in a direction you like.The pick stays very close to the strings. Some players find their hammer-ons take on a different effect with this technique. There is a secret as well, it's called the rest stroke, which you can look up. Many great flatpickers use this to create tone. Thank you for posting, James.

Around 1969 we had the guy that wrote this song on a TV show that I was a stage manager on. He was too drunk to perform. I believe he died shortly after. He wrote some great songs including “ Misty Roses”.

Another great lesson. I'm your biggest fan (like a lot of people I imagine). Completely randomly, ever have the inclination to cover Powderfinger by Neil Young? Either way, I look forward to whatever's next. Cheers.

Thanks JJ. Sometimes on songs like this I may find my hands do some pattern bits and then my lagging consciousness goes 'hey, that sounded kinda fun.' and then try to repeat it next time around so I can remember it down the road and do it on purpose the next time.

Nice JJ (Formally PT) First time comment...long time subscriber. I play something very similar with one variation. I like to play this with the high E tuned down to D as well...you can get really loose but it adds a unique (in my opinion) drone to the rhythm. I do like your alternate C at the 3rd for the bridge. Of course, I bar all your lower strings (due to the low string tuned down) but it does add a nice nuance. Try it if you like...you might like the variation. Cheers!

@jamesjames9275 8 жыл бұрын

+JN clouddragon9 That sounds pretty cool, although the Plant version definitely has the high E tuned to E. You can hear the guitar player doing some suspensions on that high E. But I like the idea of coming up with our own versions. I'll give the double-drop-D a try. It might sound like Neil Young covering Robert Plant covering Tim Hardin.

+James James thanks guys; 2 doors opened for the price of 1. jj; i know you like your gibsons and they are nice; but i sure like the look and sound of that martin too. really appreciate what you do here.

@jnclouddragon9648 8 жыл бұрын

+James James I agree the Plant version is tuned to E. 43 years of picking; I'm afraid I rarely bother to play note for note...as you say - the artists themselves are rarely exact to the studio version. Why bother to be a poor copy of when I can be excellent doing my thing? 😉 BTW...now you have me inspired to figure out a version in open D...

Holyshit that beginning riff as pretty as fuck! Excuse my French please.. and one thing you never mention, is how great your thumb is at muting the low E

This is an "our song" for my wife and I (29 Palms from Fate of Nations is another) so would be nice to figure this one out. And nice Zeppelin at Earl's Court poster on the wall. :)
