I love this, you have a wonderful voice and guitar tone, squire. First saw you on Jools Holland, and I've been hooked since. Keep up the good work!

I always enjoy watching your videos, Sam! I heard an Irish version of this tune in Dublin last year - they called it Sam Hall and it was Mick Morris with the Band of Moonlight Love, with some great fiddle playing too! They dont seem to have a YT presence, but fortunately i bought one of their CDs!

Brilliant performance, great to see the next generation of great folk singers coming through; reminiscent of a very young Martin Carthy

just incredible finger picking, have messed around with DADGAD but might give it a miss now after watching you - love the sound of the Lowden!

Recently got around to watching a few Laters. Forget Madness etc, you were great. You show great skill and originality. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic. Just heard you on Radio 3 and had to come and look for videos. You play and sing this brilliantly. I'd love to see an album of traditionla material from you. Tony Rose used to sing a great song called Long Looked For Come At Last, but he never recorded it - again, I just heard it on the BBC - and I think if I was in the studio when you might be recording that album of trad. arr. Carter I'd be saying to you to record that one.

I've had always loved Folk music. For an history book rat like me its the very expression of the peoples of their time.
Books, lecturers and specialists give you the generalities and the life of the greats..or the powerful.
Folk music give you the real preoccupations and needs of the real people.
Very far from the plots and intrigues of Court, Folk music tell you the stories into history. Sometimes even the everyday news, or the life of a famous Highway man or a pirate.

Sam Carter is a Folk musician. A musician coming from a long tradition of story tellers. He is picturing our days and nights as the Folk-men did for centuries.
Long live Sam Carter and fear not...he will tell stories for as long as
god lend him life :)

this dude's right hand needs to be in a museum. he's an actual maniac.

Sam Carter

@turd ferguson Hey! Sure. Keep a simple 4/4 arpeggio going with your fingers and try to place the thumb on a different beat each time. Then try with 1/8th notes, tricky but fun! For more of a guided adventure you could check out something like Mauro Giulani's 120 right hand studies. Been around for yonks but still very helpful. Take a few patterns from there that you like and see if you can use them to come up with your own ideas. Thanks for watching :)

turd ferguson

@Sam Carter Hey man, any tips on how to work on right hand thumb independence? I'm a decent player but when fingerpicking I always fall into the same couple rhythms/patterns. Your right thumb seems like it has a mind of its own.

Sam Carter

Haha. I'd quite like it to stay on the end of my wrist, at least for a few more years. Cheers!

Johnny Cash brought me here

Richard Longstaffe

+Chris Carothers - Billy Bragg Thatcherites brought me here. Read a comment that said it was an adaptaion of Jack hall but it's actually an adaption of Jackobites by name. both good songs to be honest.
