Очень даже ничего.)

[hauor]

Haha and i´ll say it again, 0:37 Jurassic Park all the way! *goosebumps*

Beautiful cover, great :))

[malikhanguitar]

cry........................:(

[kirstie1324]

Almost brought me to tears. Maybe that's just me being a woman. Or maybe this song is just too beautiful for its own good.

[zfiles11]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I literally stopped breathing I was so blown away.

[MrSouLguitar7]

Per-Olov put all his love in this song :), you play it beautiful as well sir.

[acdbe23]

I just break up with my girlfriend...Your song really make me cry even I am a man...How touching!!!

[botakezu]

What a nice melody ... don;t know what to say.....

[vhrrhr]

someone have free tabs? i don't have credit card to pay per-olov for this song =S

[RYAN466372]

so beautiful it speaks to the soul

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

Jurassic Park, anyone?

[KandyRaine]

You are amazing.

Clearly 2 people have no taste in music...

[Firrodrigolosofia]

This is beautiful! Man when I get to listen to your songs, I can't stop anymore...

[23raka]

Dear Mr Frederic.. This song is so beautiful and romantic..the melody is so smooth..may i know who's the composer of this song ? by the way are you a close friend of Mr Per Olov ? are you learn the guitar by yourself or by having the formal education in musical university ?

[mjrami]

homo music

[Woobsterbamf]

@mjrami Trust me bro.. YOU alone, are everything that stands for homo for saying that. Playing like this takes time and skill. You're probably just a stupid little kid, and I'm wasting my time saying this, but if not.. You should probably just go back to knitting or pole dancing @ your gay clubs, you little bitch. :) Nice Video Fred! Keep it up buddy.

[mjrami]

@Woobsterbamf That was funny....

[aguitarslife]

i am 16 years old, and you can't be my dad, but for sure, you are my teacher.

not a guitar one, but a heart teacher.

sorry for my inglish.

[swnzpd]

If you were here, I'd hold you tight and wish you'd never leave.

If you were here, I'd whisper those sweet nothings you love.

If you were here, I'd smile at your beautiful eyes

If you were here, I'd give you everything I am

If you were here, I'd give it all up, so you'd stay one more moment

And when you're gone, I feel chills

And when you're gone, Colors aren't as vibrant

And when you're gone, I feel incomplete.

[averoche]

Oh my god....

I really miss my girl who studied in Germany.

This song somewhat really takes my heart at ease....

[kurisu401]

Fred, Thanks for posting this song. I recently lost my wife and seeing the title of this song and its brief description, I thought it would be a good listen. I truly miss her.

Little did I know that tears would start falling barely reaching the middle of this video.

I have been inspired to take up my guitar again and hopefully get to play great songs such as this.

Thanks again. More power.

[oscilis]

Beautiful. Made me think of my long gone family.

[PawaVidio]

Hello Fred, I am only 14 years old but I have fallen in love with the classical guitar. I strive to become as talented as you and the piece you played here was wonderful. I was hoping you could tell me what kind of equipment you use to record because I would like to share this music with my friends and family. Thanks, from Will.

[skillage444]

@PawaVidio same here im 13 turning 14 soon and i just started listening to his music its amazing

[Cjuuuuu]

My brother recently died.... This music really helps

Thank you very much

[neo11321]

omg!!!!!!!

[jbilotta]

That is absolutely Beautiful

[TheEasyRunner]

You're so talented! I love all your music... If you ever release a CD - I'd defo buy it!!!

[magearowz]

Truely amazing, I'm missing a loved one and it really really does help. Thanks for your great music, I'm going through them all, I'm feeling down a bit and this music really helps, all of your music so far is amazing. Keep up the good work. Plus subscribed.

[Varithgar]

Fred is amazing @ playing guitar he has a way of playing music that is ineffable, But I would truly love to see a hater towards Fred, not because of my negatie thoughts and acts towards frederic; Just because of the pure fact that a hater would be out-numbered from positive to negative facts 2 to 1, Fred You're Great At Guitar Keep It UP =D.

[elima891]

beautiful! I really enjoy all your videos, you're an inspiration :)

[DiabloCbas]

A Beautiful piece =) i love this song and i want to learn it but i am a beginner. =( i want this tabs.

Regards.

[spronev]

Very nice playing! I like playing Per-Olov's pieces too.

Svilen

[aredamzd1]

Mr. Mesnier, as always it is a joy to listen. By the way, what a nice touch (your response to Annie). I wish you much success

[scerrick]

Dude this is bloody amazing. i was just looking around on youtube when i found this and some of your other pieces. i was stunned when i heard Romance. haha i've already got 3 or 4 tabs and i plan to try my hardest to learn them all :)

is there sheet music + tabs for this on your site? i couldn't find any.

[EpicJames666Beast]

this songs a cover from per-olov, who has a tab you can download on his website if you pay him $6.00 by Visa. its pretty simple to learn by ear though, I definitely dont recommend supporting the idea of paying for guitar tabs

[rhodesdarcy]

why not? how is per-olov to make money, if he cant make money he cant give you tabs? or are you as good as per so you dont want to pay for tabs because you deserve to ruin someones living??? what is your problem with paying?

[rhodesdarcy]

i bet FM payed :)

[FMGuitar]

@rhodesdarcy

Of course I did. And I'll do it again :) Fred

[rhodesdarcy]

ps FMGuitar is a fantastic player and composer and my last comment was made in relation to the idiot who thought per should give his tabs away for nothing.

[catcat68200]

magnifiiiiiiiiique!!!!!!

[cjrisi88]

This was fantastic, do you know where I could find the sheet music + tabs for it?

[mathowlett]

Once again, I'm close to tears watching you play. Seeing and hearing something so beautiful is touching. Your choice of music is exceptional. Thank you so much for uploading this superb work for everyone to enjoy.

[brainsbc67]

i am always amazed and moved by your playing and never disapointed thanks

[slajab]

Extra performance of this beautiful piece by Peo!!! I am impressed!!!

5 *****

Slawek

[07msannie]

Hi,

I am 72 yrs. female, living in an assisted living home. I decided to try to learn how to play a guitar to pass the time.

I was looking for online lessons when I came upon your site.

This is soo beautiful.....aim for playing like that someday before I go home to play for God.

Thanks,

Annie

[FMGuitar]

Thanks Annie for your kind words. No doubt that you will have plenty of time with your guitar before you can play for Him. Best regards from Paris. Fred

[skillage444]

@07msannie wow, arent you afraid of death, im 13 and im already afraid of death :/

[wendys120]

@07msannie Annie, your comment made me cry a little :(

[hunterhalo2]

Fred, thank you so much, being my first months at college, missing my family and my girlfriend, this song makes me feel good!!

[FMGuitar]

That's good . And don't forget: by thoughts you're never alone. Be well and enjoy the college, likely the best years in my life. Fred

[cobycracker]

@hunterhalo2 you have a girlfriend?! lucky :'( 

[Brumme1111]

Frederic you are a wonderful player, I see the passion in your playing a God sent gift. I will stop to watch you again my friend.

Victor B

[joelkeaton]

wow that guitar has an amazing voice!

[lucas01091989]

Hi, can i publish your chord into my web site??? sorry if i ask here but i can't find your e-mail... thanks

[Elwink]

Very nice!

I was surprised when I saw your name, Fred, you look like a Frenchman and Fred isn't exactly French. But now I see, of course it's Frederic!:) Thanks

[meridian108]

Wow. That's really nice.

[Yavien]

great performance and try to cover the mic with some sponge or something like that just to soften the sound... i think it is a bit to sharp, if it is already covered, yes, try to move it a bit further

:)

[Keitaro333]

Beautiful and great new sound too!

[Semolozzo]

What kind of chord you use in this performance? Thank you so mach for your mystical music ;-)

[freedomfighter82]

amanda, hows my heart =\

[killergirls]

It's wise that you use a good condenser mic to record this. well done Maestro!

[FMGuitar]

Yes I think its a good one. May be not the best value for money but acceptable. Now I just need to find the right mic positionning and post treatment to get exactly the sound I want. Thanks for kind comments. Fred

[Aerosmith589]

Once again, a beautiful performance, you should make an album with excellent guitar expertise like that.

[SliveDraver10]

AMAZING sound quality, the new setup works great! Phenomenal piece, too, it's so hard to get the slow pieces right! Thank you for sharing this!

[nylonguitar]

So good to see someone else cover this.I really love this piece. You do a wonderful job on it Fred. I will try to learn this one next. Great playing !...Steve

[Luknopfler83]

C'est juste superbe... que dire de plus ?

[levimerces]

wow!! Xtreme sound!

[GaryLawrence0]

Excellent rendition, Fred.

What kind of Webcam are you using??

The clarity is excellent!

[FMGuitar]

Hi, not a webcam but a camera. Not HD but good enough. Fred

[smashmouthfan]

magnificent, you never stop amazing me, congratulations for another great from Fred Take Care, James

[ILikeBlastBeats]

very nice =)

[darringrove]

Hej da Per Olov! I have cultivated an interest in classical guitar and am playing some Sor Studies and have really enjoyed your beautiful tone and recording quality on these you tube videos. Would you be willing to make a video using a low quality guitar. This would in a way help to show me what tone to expect out of my guitar.

[TheGuitaRJokeR]

I bought my classical guitar for arbout 150 bucks in a small music store and it's got a wonderful sound.

especially in classic guitars, you don't always have to spend lots of money to get some quality. just go to your favourite guitar store, try some guitars you can afford and find out which one fits you best.

sometimes there are some real diamonds among the cheaper ones ;)

[BirdmanWayne94]

Wonderful music, excellent performance.

[ellisdewald]

wow ! so much feeling for every note you played! wow ! thx for sharing this ! thx

[FMGuitar]

Thanks. That's actually the most difficult with this "relatively simple" piece from Per-Olov. It's slow and because of that you must care of every note. Easy to miss one ! Fred

[delpaulrock]

i like drawing with this song

[DizanaXO]

amazing, as always.

[LucidSpore]

Have you seen Jurassic park ? the melody at :40 sounds like a music piece in that movie but only barley like 3 notes =] this song is amazing though seriously you are amazing at guitar

[decr07]

thats a beautiful song, you are always the best. thanks for lets listen this piece...

[AmongWarJosef]

so beautiful thank you for sharing this cover much respect from texas :)

-JoJo

[3asyrunner]

wow

you're amazing!!

[zillionsantiago]

I enjoy a lot how you play guitar

[FMGuitar]

Happy that you like it. It's a little contribution to Per-Olov 's music and this piece is a pleasure to play. I recommend it to you all. Fred

[sebastal]

Congrats..you have developed a own style of playing...this song reminds me of "A Fiery Stride" from Elvenking you probably want to see it i have high respect for them, and for you since i realized your compositional potential

[sguitar]

Thats a wonderfully interpretation of a beautifully piece!! Just fantastic! Sarah :-)

[AndanteLargo]

Ahhh... Merci Fred!! It is so good! Very true to my intetions. And the feeling is exactly what I want! Couldn't be better. Merci mon ami!

I thank you for this. It's very nice to listen to my own music that only exist in my head for a long time and suddenly I hear it played like this! WOW! The sound is good to!

Respect! And a hug from Sweden.

Per-Olov

[FMGuitar]

Tack Per-Olof. And I also have to thank Youtube as some months ago I did not know you. Now I realize what I have missed... But never too late. I will catch up ! Hälsningar.

[WuSuanSo]

A beautiful master-piece written by a guitar master and beautifully covered by another guitar master... This really makes my weekend ;-)

[Nasser90santour]

oh playing song from swedish guy ... (Y) gretings Sweden xD :D

[bios36]

Beautiful piece and played from the heart, congrats!

Rick

[lbuckel]

Beautiful job Frederic. I like the gliss you added in the melody. I will play it this way myself during repeats. Peo would be proud I'm sure!

[ksaajasto]

what's the new mic?

Excellent job, as always!

[FMGuitar]

Hi, micros are Audio Technica AT4041.

But positionning is not yet ok. I played here with JM Fouilleul guitar that has a strong projection. They were definitely too close. Next time I will try to correct. Will be difficult as the room where I record is pretty small !!

[MaghoxFr]

Beautiful, youu are such a wonderful guitarist

[Mewndoggie]

Good job ;D

[oldwhtman]

Sounds to me like you made every note count. Beautiful job. And the audio quality sounds very good.

[Jacquesr9]

Bravo Fred. Tu interprètes magnifiquement cette pièce. Et le son est remarquable.

Amicalement,

Jacques

[FMGuitar]

Merci Jacques. Tu te ballades dans le coin... Amitiés. Fred

[abvp257]

amazing...

makes me miss him even more :'( i love you sari

[TheGrimsdale]

Truly fantastic. You just made my day. :-)

[xSIKxFUKx]

capitol!!

[ConicalRamirez]

Beautiful. I truly believe you are the greatest guitarist of this style I have ever seen.

[meridian108]

Very soulful and beautifully played

[SRH1092213111]

Very Nice. You are a master at fingerstyle.

[t0umart0u]

Très bien interprété Frederic, 5*
