Wonderful feelling . . .

[ichingiching]

thanks .. have fun..

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

I do believe this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. He truly is a master songsmith. This is so lovely...warm and real...it feels just right.

[ichingiching]

hi .. yes this is a stunning song.. glad you liked it.. M:)

[skaartj]

can you tell me the picking sequence for this, great version by the way !!

[ichingiching]

hi skaartj.. i don't do tabs but its a basic (if a little complicated) ripple picking. capo on 2 G chord followed by Am and D back to G run down to Em etc.. try to follow it.. its a good way to learn.. M:)

[skaartj]

ok thanx i guess you are playing the base of each chord with your thumb

[ichingiching]

yes .. if you go to my 'free guitar lession' , i talk through that.. Mike

[skaartj]

cant find it perhaps you can send a link ?

[ichingiching]

not sure how to do that.. just type in ichingiching - free guitar lession.. that should take you there.. I think its about the 90th video in on my channel .. m

[luichuenman]

Fantastic. Fans from Hong Kong. I want to learn from you, possible?

[ichingiching]

Oh it's great, I've got some fans in Hong Kong, that's really nice. It makes me want to book a flight and come out. Many thanks. M

[luichuenman]

i actually wish you would become my guitar teacher

[ichingiching]

That would be so enriching.. those words inspire me to practice!!

[fvfrau]

love your voice & the interpretation of this beautiful song ... goosebumps .. :o) .. GRIT

[ichingiching]

That's lovely thank you. M

[saxonsue47]

I have to disagree...........no one could possibly sing this song better than you! Not Matt Munroe, Perry Como.........anyone! I do agree though that it's always lovely to see you smile ( you have a gorgeous smile!)....even better to hear your laugh ( I always have to laugh with you!) but maybe NOT for this song........to me it was perfect! So much feeling.........gosh, I'm lost for words......well, the right ones anyway! As SherBB said........you truly are a gift....the perfect one for us!Sue

[ichingiching]

Thanks sue.. I love your enthusiasm!! although I'm not sure I would compete with MM and PC.. still I have not seen them play a guitar?? you made me smile.. Thanks M

[ikansusu]

How about a lesson for this song Mate?

[ichingiching]

I have a number of songs that would be good to do a 'how to' vid.. I'll add this to the list.. cheers M

[ichingiching]

thats very kind.. thanks for listening.. peace M:)

[BO93A]

Wow! Nice interpretation. The pause...the gasp...it was great!

Keep it up!

[sini21]

Fantastic cover of this timeless song..... your guitar playing is out of this world on all your vids.

ps check out Pauline Scanlon singing this, its brill too!!

[ichingiching]

I did and your right .. shes fantastic.. a little like a young Sandy Denny.. thanks for the thread and kind comments. M:)

[pilu3073]

yeaaa great

[ichingiching]

taaa!

[williedb47]

Beautiful. Great job on a classic Don McClean song. Willa

[ichingiching]

its such a sweet song.. I have to confess I heard this sung by Perry Como!! and loved it then....

[dazdevnjak]

beautiful

[ichingiching]

thank you again..

[nutmegger1957]

I've left you comments before, and really do like you approach to songs, so in the spirit of encouragement, and with all good intent, "smile" more, when you sing.....you are a quality player and the songs you sing deserve your smile.

-nutmegger1957

[ichingiching]

Hi Nutmegger.. cool advice.. glad you like the songs.. Regards Mike

[meccajeddahhk]

the special way you sing, in yr own pace, in yr prefered whispering level, in yr controlled speed.. make me feel there always be better view of horizon when u reach a peak after reaching a higher mountain one after other. However, allow me to say , the way u sing, it seem to be a easier way, lazier way in saving yr breath. to jump the difficult part in the song it should be. and it is a way to cover yr weak point in go over the difficult part of the original composed high note. Anyhow, yr goood

[ichingiching]

cool advice .. nice anaysis,.. cheers Mike

[TinkGerman]

gorgeous!! a very special song and you filled it with emotion.

Though..this Am dmin 7th impressed me the most!

[ichingiching]

hi tink.. lol.. impressed by my Amdim7th??? I'll look it up..which one is that?? M:)

[SherBB]

I wonder if you really know how much beauty you bring with your music. I hope that you can fathom just what a gift you are.

[ichingiching]

thats a very kind thing to say sher.. ummm i'll think about that.. regards M:)

[sasquatch3131]

beautiful redition of this song,sung with real emotion, thanks for this and keep up the great tunes

[GratefulJWB]

Brilliant rendition, Mike! Perry Como now has a torch bearer to carry on! Thank you, my friend!

[ichingiching]

Steady!! Perry Come is/was a brillant singer and I just a small shaddow in his flame!! (but could he play an Am dmin 7th?)lol

[ikansusu]

Oh how I love this song and your guitar is superb. With so many wonderful songs in your list, I can only guess that you must be doing the PUB circuit?

[ichingiching]

Thanks James. I rarely go into pubs in the UK and never played in one apart from sessions ie Irish tunes etc but I'f I'm ever out there I would love to busk and chill. Thanks for your kind words. M<:)

[prowatchdoc]

Mike, you made my day with this one. Beautifully done. I am more of a romantic than even I realize.

[RnDEntertainment]

Another great song Mike! You are a true artist. God Bless.
