Acoustic Tour

Jul 19 2018

Festival show in Meschede, Germany – Friday, July 20th

Olivia and I will be playing at the Live Am See festival in Meschede tomorrow. “Live Am See” means Live By The Lake because…

What will be different from last year? Well, I wanted to play some obscure cover songs (not obscure to me and those that love them) like The Dolphins by Fred Neil and Blues Runs The Game by Jackson C. Frank. In the sixties talented singer-songwriters would often include contemporaries’ songs on their albums simply because they were great songs. The lack of ego benefitting the quality of the record. Donovan sang Buffy Sainte-Marie, Buffy Sainte-Marie sang Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan sang Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Simon, Fairport Convention sang Bob Dylan (as did many), Paul Simon sang Jackson C. Frank, Tom Rush sang Joni Mitchell, The Walker Brothers sang Tom Rush (a little later)…

Remembering the words is the only hurdle. I will also be seeing what it sounds like to play without a beard. See you there.

Songwriting & Guitar Guidance with Marty Willson-Piper
ORDER HERE

"These are awesome sessions that I highly recommend for guitar players of all levels. Very informative, frank discussions on everything related to guitar and music in general. Definitely a must for anyone pursuing songwriting."
(Stephen G., VA, USA)

"Marty knows how to bypass scales and get to the heart of feel and timing. His musical knowledge spans multiple cultures and genres. Perhaps most importantly, Marty is a cool dude. I highly recommend his guitar guidance." (Jed B., MN, USA)

"Ok, so you’re sitting in your home and Marty is across the world but is actually right here teaching you how to play guitar and write songs. He is a delight to talk to and he is your teacher, meaning he wants to see you get something out of his lessons. You know he’s paying attention and wants to steer you in the right direction. I am so grateful and humbled that he offers his time in this manner. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who admires anything from his enormous body of work. How often do you get to learn from somebody that inspired you in the first place? Amazing." (Ann S., CA, USA)

Missing

This is my stolen 1965 Rickenbacker 12-string, serial number EB157. If there’s any chance of this guitar coming back to me before I go to meet my maker, then that would be wonderful. Please contact me if you have any information.
