Incredible playing by Steve Winwood and the band (killer drumming!) on this Traffic classic.
Hey Michael. Have you heard of HighFade? If not here you go.
Hi Michael,
First off, love guitargate, your content, and all of it. It inspires me to not only play but leads me to so many new musicians that really bring forth emotion. Stephen Wilson Jr I think you'll find to be one of those guys.
This song (I'm a song) was served up to me today while listening to music and working. I literally needed to stop everything I was doing and just revel in the emotion behind it. The song, the feel, and voice all grasp at the soul while a less than conventional approach to the guitar leaves you wondering how one guy with a guitar can make you feel all he does. Please give it a listen, and more than anyone else, keep doing what you're doing man.
All the best,
Doug
I just started taking your beginner's classes. This is one of my favorite songs and his guitar playing has always sounded like some magical alchemy to me. I think I read somewhere that he uses some unconventional tuning. I'd be interested in hearing you explain what he's doing. I'd love to be able to play this someday. Thank you.
