"He ain't heavy he's my brother" acoustic fingerstyle
 

Hi folks,

i just recorded my easy-listing cover version of this sweet old melody last night.
It's based on Tallstrom's open-G arrangement - but i changed some notes and i think that my version is much more easy... ;-)

I think that is beautiful - I love it.

Hi Jimmy,
when I saw your choice of song, I thought - oh no, will it be just a load of chords or the melody or will it have the "feeling" or "soul" that the lyrics deserve.

You did it.

Beautiful.

Lovely arrangement, beautifully played. Very "Tallstrom", which is a good thing. :D

Thanks for your positive comments :-)

That is fantastic, Jimmy! I really like how you arrange popular songs for solo guitar. Great playing and tone, too :)

Thank you Bob - that is a very nice compliment!! :-)

Greetz, Jimmy

Had to chime in too - really/really nice!
I would say.....soulful.

Great piece of music Jimmy.


Dan

Put me down for a compliment, too! Beautiful.

Thank you so much for this wonderful compliment Dan.

My untrained ears can't pinpoint exactly what the difference in the two is, but the second one sounds more relaxing to me. Very mellow and peaceful. Thanks for sharing!

Great job with this one!!

Thanks for your feedback Nazump! The difference is a new part at 2:01 - the first version was more simple that the second one.
