Mark Knopfler - Local Hero (Acoustic Version)

[billtangney]

This is a beautiful arrangemet. I found the scratching of your fingers on the strings to be distracting.Seems to occur frequently. I love the tone and thank you for a great listen.

[chris08712]

beautiiful, got tears in my eyes!

[gretschky]

haha oh man I saw that signature on your guitar and knew before reading it. "tommy emmanuel!" hahaha. cause I have one on my maton too hahaha :)

[lazarodopoulosin]

the noises you make when changing one position to another hurt my ears....but good performance..

[mcrevis]

I started watching this vid then saw, "This is my own version of..." etc. and immediately thought, "Oh great, someone is gunna have to give me back the time I have wasted watching this." Then you struck that first harmonic and INSTANTLY dragged me in. I couldn't turn it off.

I have to agree with jbuckley123 with your action being a little robotic, but otherwise VERY WELL DONE !!!

Thank you for sharing your skills and this song with us all.

Kudos !!!

[MattWallMusic]

I'd be doing you a terrible injustice if I didn't tell you how incredible this was. It's incredible, seriously incredible.

[macca3871]

Beautiful. Brightened my afternoon and gave me something to aspire to, so nice one.

[jimmyshitbags]

[keaton7732]

[dawz08]

@elbiondoschitaron

Hi, I like your arrangement very much. Would yo be so kind and send the tabs?

My e-mail: lou123@gmx.de

Thanks !

[CASLUVR]

@elbiondoschitaron is that a fl3ac cole clark? Nice job on the knopfler song also. Many kudos.

[elbiondoschitaron]

[DanskeSange]

Awesome! :-)

If you will and have time it would be great if you could do a tutorial. I cant' play by ear yet )-:

Best wishes from Denmark.

[SuperAD12345]

Love this song so much .

[perroratonil]

where is tab? please :( great :D

[ivncdo0809]

hi would you reccomend this guitar? i'm seriously planning to get an acoustic, i moving from classical to electro acoustic and was planning to get this, a cort mr170 or a fender sonoran, could please reccomend me some guitar up to 320 euros? maybe some takamine or something?.....

[Johnstallion69]

hi, this is amazing, could you possibly send me the tabs also. Kind regards,

John

[Jbuckley123]

I love this arrangement, The use of harmonics balances the sometimes cutting highs and overall compliments the melodic progression of the piece.

My only criticism is your playing technique is so rigid, almost robotic, the complete opposite to Mark Knopfler; and that is why it frustrates me so much listening to it.

I respect your musical ability, I seriously love your arrangement, But it is just frustrating. Music is about feel, man, you have to let the emotion loose!

Anyway, My 2c. :)

Jackson

[elbiondoschitaron]

@Jbuckley123

I completely agree with you :) I'm not happy about my feeling while I'm playing a song. I'm always under stress ... Anyway, thanks for your 2c!

[Dathober]

Thank you very much for sending me the tabs. I'll try my best.

Keep it up!

[thedragonfan123]

@Dathober

Hi, would you be so kind and forward the tabs to me ?

My e-mail is lou123@gmx.de

Thanks

[ThePlamato]

my email for the tab is pamatoelite@yahoo.com. if anyone already recived it and would like to send it so he does not have do constantly send it to everyone, i would appreciate it. if you prefer that it come directly from you i will hope and wait. thanks for sharing and offering the tab. the tabs i found online do not sound like the piece and are standard tuning. i think at least drop d gives it some warmth.

[ThePlamato]

nice arrangement in fingerstyle. can you send me the tab and tuning. i think i read drop d. thanks

[AnzeLindemann]

Good job. Keep it up!

[gurthgrimstone]

This is superbly arranged and played... kudos to you!

[minenu11]

Sublime

[Dathober]

Great work.

[alexandre220011]

hi! I really like this song :) Could you please send me the tab if you got it? :) thx :)

[SilentLD]

Very good - Mark would be proud of you.

[nemodbk]

wow, what a great cover, do you have tabs for it?

[7OwnTheStreet]

[rquader]

Great version, awesome

[MrSniker]

I can't stop watching this dude, simply amazing. I would really apreciate if you could send me tab for this. I'm sending you my email adress via PM.

[basketandguitarmania]

do you play it in D? I had some troubles playing this song (I play it maybe little bit different, but it doesn´t matter) because its difficult to get the chords together with the melody on the guitar neck. the melody itself is simple and I play it sometimes while my sister play the chords on piano. did you have standard E tuning?

[elbiondoschitaron]

@basketandguitarmania

DropD Tuning! DADGBE :)

[Nyatout]

It's great ! You play so good. I love MK.

[thozz]

VERY GOOD.........i wish there was a way to applaud on youtube, cos that well deserved it..... i dream of being able to play like that...... thx for sharing your talent

[stboyst]

Good job!

[RealBubbleBabs]

[MyUnderSlungLink]

The sliding of that chord at 2:14 didn't sound very nice, unless thats how you wrote the song, but it still suited well. Great job man, your amazing, wish i could be as good as you! Is there anywhere where i can get the tabs off you man? Let me know Cheers!

[majoneski]

[gnicoll79]

[lee31392]

That was brilliant. I see you got your guitar signed by Tommy Emmanuel! So have I. I met him in December at one of his concerts. One of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Well done again. That was really pleasent to listen to

[frikicoco]

[Charlystron]

[elbiondoschitaron]

[narnyslip]

Very Nice

[DAVIDCUENCABIKER]

Very Good ............

[rammers2006]

Be great if you could do another showing more of the finger board side.  Again, inspiring!

[SenorCali]

NICE WORK....Audio is just fine.

[BillNeilan]

The audio sounds fine to me. Great Job

I'll have to study this clip so I can learn it.

[Everestlad]

Lovely relaxed version, dunno why, but the sound reminded me of the "wonder years" song. Harmonics were great, it must be so hard to get the accuracy just right to get the resinance to be so clear, futher down the fret board, well done that man!

[rammers2006]

love the harmonics you slipped in..... awesome job!

[MrChevyMetcalf]

what a beautiful guitar the Ibz ael40se is...

[LFidrmuc]

[ben3000afc]

Really feeling your interpretation of the song and you have captured its essence, i think. Love the harmonics too!

[Tanijama]

Very nice!

[lujas10]

very fucking good!

[elbiondoschitaron]

in realtà è in RE, non so se è la tonalità originale...ma la DropD era l'accordatura che meglio si adattava...

[vodkapesca]

si, hai ragione, meglio ancora allora l'accordatura... ora provo a "rubare" qualcosa... cia

[vodkapesca]

bellissimo arrangiamento ed ottima esecuzione. belle soprattutto le idee sugli armonici... bravo, davvero

[elbiondoschitaron]

Grazie mille! per gli armonici Tommy Emmanuel insegna .... XD

[AnauF]

grazie cugi per la pelle d'oca che mi fai venire ogni volta che ti ascolto. ti voglio tanto bene!! bacio

[elbiondoschitaron]

ma grazie a te che passi ogni tanto a riascoltartela :) tvb pure io...fai un fischio se torni in quel del Trentino! Bacione

[drunkenspree]

Congratulations! Fantastic rendition of this beautiful song, You have a great style and touch.

If you ever do another version please adjust the camera so you can see the full fretboard because your version is worth learning.

Thanks!!

[malenesg]

This is AWESOME!!! Loving it :)

[johnofbham]

beautiful

[Elfredo]

Beautiful playing! Love the sound of your Ibanez ...

[tuktuk111]

Great playing, I love it!

Keep practicing.

[zulberta91]

grande vecio...pel de galina

[elbiondoschitaron]

tra tutti 'sti commenti en Ingles uno en dialet el ghe steva proprio XD ahaha...ma chi è che te sei?

[Will83524]

I can really see the tommy influence in your playing with the harmonics. All you need to do now is bend the guitar in half and start drumming it haha nice tune much prefer it on acoustic

[elbiondoschitaron]

HAHAH maybe in the next arrangment I will try to drumming my guitar...I was a drummer, so I hope It will be a good job :)

[norwayfinland]

very good sounds very good i love the sound of your guitar i wish i could play like that;-)

[jonasjar]

good interpretation, nice use of flageolettes!

[elbiondoschitaron]

Thank You! :) but, sorry, nice use of what?

[jonasjar]

=overtones you get by lightly touching not pressing down the string.

[elbiondoschitaron]

ok, I called it natural harmonics ... :)

[jackosn0863]

This is beutiful sounding. And it sounds very similar to mark knopflers version.

[Downie87]

you write it down? u got the tab for it?

[AnauF]

grande cugi!!!è semplicemente da pelle d'oca..e da 5 stelline:D bel lavoro vecchio mio!! un bacione, tua cugi

[Heronymusic]
