Joshua & Jeremy: ‘Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I don’t know what time it is in Japan, so maybe our friends Joshua and Jeremy have gone to bed already. But we haven’t.

You want to know how Christianity works? Here is a Welsh hymn performed by two young men in Japan, and a video watched by Christians (and others) all over the world.

Now when are you guys gonna sing?

  3. Nice work, gents. Joshua, I noticed that when you go from the C Maj to the Am you walk it down with a B note in the bass. I really like that. It adds interest and defines the movement of the harmony.

    There was a guitar player named Joe Pass that made a science out of playing bass lines as part of his songs. I was able to see him live on more than one occasion and spent an afternoon at an instructional clinic he did. It was even more amazing in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_kUJa1PueM I just thought you might enjoy seeing this.

    1. Wow! That’s some guitar playing! Thanks for sharing the video, Unknowable!

    2. That Pass guy was just showing off. I could play the guitar like that, if I had the time. (This is what people always say to writers. Always.)

    3. Everybody just k own that they have a great book inside themselves, just waiting to get out. From what I can tell, writing involves keeping track of a lot of separate threads. A lot of people cannot preserve continuity for one paragraph, not to mention an entire book.

    4. Can I reach the Pass level? I’m afraid the odds are against me. Brother Jeremy is sure to pass me. In fact, he has already!

    6. Oh, yes, come to think of it, I’m lacking facial expression skills! I’m kind of robotic, sad to say…

    10. Alright! I’m beginning to feel like a quokka already! Dare to be a quokka!

      *Ooof!!”… Ow, that hurt.

      Hopping is for the hopeful, for the hoppers who hop for hope…

      Now I’m making a fool out of myself. A skinned knee and words of inanity. I’ll become the laughing stock of all the quokkas!!

    12. Sure you can reach Joe Pass’ level. It involves the most awful word of them all: scales. Learn scales and be very disciplined with fingerings. Learn chords and learn how they all fit together. Joe Pass was a great player, but he was no superhuman.

    15. Did you see the comment, “Well, I’ve got the facial expressions down, now all I have to do is master the guitar-playing”?

  4. Thank you so much for posting this! May God be glorified! We aren’t that good at singing, so we’re just playing our gitfiddles for now. I’m working on putting lyrics on our videos.

    2. I thank God for letting us even be here!

      Maybe we’ll tune our throats and start singing again! (When we feel like it, that is.)

    1. For years, I listened to everything that guy put out. It was astounding what he could do. More astounding yet was the experience of watching a diminutive fellow walk out on stage in front of thousands of people and play a concert completely alone. He carried a guitar, I think he usually borrowed an amp, and that was it.
