Members Freeman Keller Posted August 5, 2016 Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 Again, very nice. I struggled for a long time with that song, particularly the section where it goes to the barre at 5 and I just couldn't do the pinkie stretch to get the one note on the 5th string. I had almost given up when we went to a Leo Kottke concert (I was in about the second row) and when he did LM I realized that he dropped the barre, grabbed the note then went back to the barre - I went home and LM was mine! I noticed that you do basically the same thing.... The version of LM that I want to see a video of is Jerry Douglas - he plays it on his dobro and I know he can do some pretty radical bar slants but I want to see how he does this (my Pandora acoustic guitar station frequently has a version of LM, often Douglas's) Last LM story - we saw the Allman Band (new version with Warren Haynes in the Duane seat) and the curtain call was LM. But when I looked at the stage nobody was playing - it was a recording of Duane and the band was just standing there paying their respects. The audience did also.

Members maplebaby Posted August 5, 2016 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 Such a great post - thanks! Sounds like we share a common love and appreciate for this never old masterpiece from Duane. Love the story about Kotke - good seats pay off! I'll be giving Jerry D version a good listen and the last story honestly gave me goose bumps - great story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Freeman Keller Posted August 7, 2016 Members Share Posted August 7, 2016 This seems to be someone I haven't heard of covering Douglas's cover of LM. I also did find a couple of videos of Douglas playing it but this is just plain incredible (there is some looping and over dubing going on which I hear on the Douglas version) [video=youtube_share;nWWBBLb6J4o] It's a wonderful song, no matter who plays it or how its done. Thanks again for sharing your version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
