This arrangement it superbulous! The acoustics of the room and the fact that you are playing a wonderful Taylor guitar added to the overall sound quality of this video. The song sounded great even on my iPhone w the volume maxed out!
hi there sir. Im chris from the Philippines and i was blown away with your rendition of this Orleans song. I was wondering if your could share some tips on how to play this the way you do coz im planning to play this tune on my wedding in a few months. Thanks and Great job sir.
IThanks for sharing a great cover of one of my favorite classic tunes. Oh, and thatks for showing the Youtube community what a Taylor can sound like in the hands of a master.
Wow! You earn the award for the best arrangement ever! This surpasses Earl Kluge and Jose F. I like the way you mixed the actual arrangement with the fingerstyle arrangement...a bit different that the original but the best I've heard out of the +50 here on YouTube. All I can say is...Can I buy the Tab?
Beautifully Arranged and Played. Clear Sounding Steel Strings. I wish you can share the arrangement in SHEETMUSIC Classical Guitar for a GENEROUS DONATION, if you have it. I will SAVE the time for figuring it out
I've been playing 38 years. I've studied classical guitar with Celin Romero (check out The Romeros on You Tube) and I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Performance. The study of arranging and composition that you get with college study really pays you back in helping to create interesting guitar arrangements, and classical study hones your fingerstyle chops and interpretive skills.
HOLY CRAP!!! I love the original song and never thought it could be topped, but this amazingly fantastic arrangement has proved me wrong. One of the best videos I've ever seen!
Very nice!! I particularly like the two ways you played the beginning melody. Sort of your own take the first time around and then switching to the fifth fret for a "more correct" counterpoint. Excellent rendition.
I've always loved this song. It reminds me of alot of time spent in the central Cal sierras 4wheeling,camping,fun with my friends in the 70's and it just makes me feel happy.. this song does. It would be nice to go back in time. but sadly we can't. Thank you so much. You play so beautifully.. good memories. peace
Thank you. Loved the Bass video, by the way. The Taylor 612-C is going through a PA system set up on the other side of the room. The reverb is an old Boss RV-70.
oh wow.....well done! I hope to be as good as you one day....
