    Default Help ID a song on Shawn Brock vid

    Please help me identify the lick at 5:01-5:30
    Tasty bluegrass song for sure!
    Link goes to correct time, but I can’t get the embedded video to pop to the correct time at startup…?
    Enjoy, it’s a nice guitar, very much like my dad’s.

    I’d also accept “it sounds a lot like…”.
    I tried to get google to listen and tell me, but the computer overlord can’t figure it out

    This might sound like a roundabout and overly complicated procedure, but it should work ...

    I understand there are apps that identify songs, and so, presumably, tunes. But I imagine for it to work her, you'll have to isolate this tune. So use a video editor to delete everything before and after the tune. Then either drop that into the app or play it for it, howver it works. You might have Video Editor imbedded in your PC (I've heard they're phasing it out), but you may want to download RealPlayer. It comes with RealTrimmer, which is real easy to use. It may also come with RealConverter, which you can use to change the clip from video to just audio, if that helps. Lastly - perhaps best of all - RealPlayer enables downloading of most youtube videos, which will help get this whole ball rolling.

    Good luck!

    I can't name the tune but it does a bit like Doc Watson.

    Sounded like a hint of "Old Joe Clark" in there, at least in the A part. Lovely guitar, by the way.

    Gotta love it! When in doubt, go to the source. Or maybe, first of all ...

    It does sound a bit like "Shady Grove," as jaycat said, especially the A part. The B part is its own thing, though, with that cool chromatic run.

    I realized after the fact that Shawn is very active in managing his YouTube channel.
    I now need to ring a recording….

    Very cool. Really good picker, too.

    And we all learned a few things along the way.

    Along with being a good picker, he's a great guy to demo a guitar. (He's done a mando video or two along the way, too, I think.) The audio quality in his recordings is really good, so through earbuds, I can hear lots of nuances in each guitar. He strums and picks with emphasis on different strings to show the range of the instrument, and I also like how he plays the guitar with the capo on various frets to show how it sounds in those different positions up the neck. I'm sure he's also really helpful for people who have specific questions about specific instruments, as well.

    Someone may have already told you— the opening song was Tennessee Waltz. Sorry I neglected to read the whole thread. I sure love Shawn’s playing!
