[elijoby]

[fdploco1]

[livinlvis]

Marfa, TEXAS?! How the f. did a Swedish guitarist end up in Marfa, Texas?? Marfa is in the middle of NOWHERE. Marfa makes El Paso look like Paris, France.

[elijoby]

[subtoxin]

Hell yes!

[theskaman5]

WOW

[iwillfall]

[boneymaroni28]

Early Cat Stevens, beautiful..

[dalhousie44]

10 people don't have ears.

[banjojamur]

seperti sarat di tengah padang luas, malap-malap harapan membisik.

[Rainmakerlola]

AHHH JOSE GONZALEZ MARRY ME hdghdgdigjgrgirgtrjweowkf

[soopafeesh]

Wow

[TheRockurworld]

I wish to play this on guitar, but Im just the beginner... x]

[Pauljacksonish]

So great.. didn't realize it was live first time i saw it.. acoustics are awesome in that room..

[tbra3477]

1:13 - Good to know that EVERYONE makes mistakes :D

[JeredtheShy]

You know you really care about an artist when he has a little cough, and suddenly you're worried about his health.

[eddoubledeezy]

dude fuck the ten people who disliked this. probably limp biskit or lil wayne fans.

[frednolasco]

even if he tried, he simply COULDN'T make superficial music. his music always touches the deepest parts of my soul. Thank you for making something so diferent from the usual

[MrsPluie]

como toce! awww y le da pena.

[MariAraujo]

lindo lindo

[SigurTibbs]

his strumming is so delicate wtf.....

[KingofFunk412]

Fuck... this is really good. Just got into this guy... not sure it gets any better than this.

[Leprosky]

@KingofFunk412 He does!!!!

[boisducafe1]

Jooooooooooooooooooooooose :)

[Jankesl]

It is beauty song!!

[MaximumProductionz]

Beautiful acoustics!



[PhouFoo]

I recognized Joses voice from Futures by Zero 7.

Good to know theres more of him...

[miguelangelcovers]

this is the first time i hear Jose making a "mistake"

[miaslettan]

@miguelangelcovers Oh, what's the mistake

[miguelangelcovers]

@miaslettan He is so calmed when he makes it that its difficult to notice it. Listen between 1:14 - 1:17 and you will notice that he repeats "While I....I....." because he hit the "wrong" note on the guitar.

I say "mistake" and not mistake because Jose plays so naturally that there is no mistake really.

[sunshinegrl1997]

I just melted into my headphones....

[RocknLee]

This song is just completely beautiful, it's amazing. This guy is my favorite dude when it's comes to acoustic songs and everything

[joepickard]

La Blogotheque also recorded Jose doing a recording of Storm in the same location. strangely I can't find it on youtube. it's probably the best thing i've ever heard Jose play (and that's saying something)

[nobbyarny]

@joepickard

google jose on back of a truck should be first result ;)

[jlink09]

those echoes reverberating around that room have some how entered my noggin :)

[5hawnK3lly]

i love the low B, anyone know what tuning this is???

[kickbuckets]

@5hawnK3lly i know the low B and the G is either an E of an F# the high B could also be an A. i would suggest you fiddle around with them and see how he plays around here and you should be able to find it. hope this helps :)

[mavibemar]

es un transe para mi escucharlo!

[strokeslover14]

This sounds really cool if you play this at the same time as Taste by Animal Collective around 1:00 on it :D

[Agavaaa]

PERFECT!

[ThisIsAbby]

Love me some classical guitar.

[siemvandenberg]

I bet his sound will still be 'amasing' if the plays steel strings or a trash can for that matter.

[IAmTurbogfx]

The level of feeling and emotion that this man puts into his guitar play and vocal is simply unparallelled. I am blown away by his talent. His music fills my heart with joy.

[paulandhislivinghell]

you could get this man a fucking triangle and it was enough for him to make you have goosbumps.

[jippzmcghee]

I want to learn this song soooooo bad!

[RafaPiloni]

If Beauty had a theme, it would be this song

[PaoloCavalera]

Ok, he did it...I'm crying.

[wawalidus]

Qu'est ce que devait ressentir le mec qui filmait? Moi, j'aurai surement laissé tomber la camera d'émotion, je me serai assis et j'aurai vécu les 4 minutes les plus irréelles qui m'auraient été données de vivre à ce jour...

[butterflykirstie]

ive been there!

[theK0OKS]

this is simply.. pretty. You have good songs, you have songs you like to dance on, but the thing about this song is that it sort of.. floats higher than others, being just really, genuinely beautiful.

[Jimhupponeword]

@theK0OKS I don't think anyone could put it better than that... well said.

[amaaa315]

do u know what chords his fingering represent for the tuning he use? or is there no chords 

[mylesloves2sing]

he got himself a bit of cough there! but great song beautiful song even, i havn't heard one song of his which i don't love

[dashedude2]

an orchestra

[nathaisnuts]

Beautiful. And so captivating.

I feel like crying every time I listen to this, I don't know.

It touches me somewhere deep inside.

[AlexVerdonMusic]

@nathaisnuts prostate?

[nathaisnuts]

@AlexVerdonMusic Don't have one :D

[Malloyard69]

@nathaisnuts just like your dad does

[nathaisnuts]

@Malloyard69 You're too kind :)

[nolometangere]

his voice isn't real! wow lovee

[neger88]

I love how he thinks he's singing into a mic at 1:25. And the acoustics in that room is incredible. Big fan and inspiration.

[theK0OKS]

this is one of the prettiest things ive heard today

[demeneye]

jose is awesome, his untypical approach to guitar tuning along with his distinct voice gives him a mostly unique sound, that can be enjoyed by such a wide variety of listeners. He is truly inspiring. And yeah that snake thing works! how weird, how does that work?anyone know?

[charlesfelixmagnus]

@demeneye what snake thing?

[sbennett14]

The coolest part is how he lets the lowest string buzz every so often.  It's soothing, somehow.

[THEUNOTE]

tuning?

[seth2186]

i have no idea what the nylon strings is i'm assuming its on his guitar duh!!!! but his music just captivates my sould and puts me at peace with life..........................­........

[GnRLieas]

José's unique voice fits perfectly with the sound of nylonstrings! Beautiful!

[kajsel]

if you pause the video and hold the left arrow for a few seconds you can play snake.

[dillagenceable]

@kajsel Truth

[scarletvandal11]

jose gonzales reminds me of cat stevens in this video

[ravebullet]

Wow i never see PAKI have feeling ....

[nayeflowersx]

@ravebullet he's actually Swedish from Argentine descent.

[FreddoX1]

Such a beautiful video!!

[radioheadfan993]

Pure magic! :O

[MYKEGREGORY]

How can one room have such beautiful accoustics?

[darktowersl]

wow the acoustics in this room must be amazing, his vocals are stunning in this video

[ihopeyouredone]

I love when he lets his low D string rattle on the louder parts :) nice and raw-sounding

[Mariekesone]

Captivating and Beautiful crisp clear vocals and acoustics:-)

[de97531]

wow, I thought this was a music video until the very end when I realized it was live

[portraitphenomenon]

man,.. i had the chance of going to see jose gonzales while I was living in Atlanta,Ga, like 4 yrs ago. I missed it cause i got way drunk on wine in South

Carolina with a good friend and I could not make the drive back to Georgia for

his show that Sunday night. bummer!!!!!

[Tsuppi]

THE AWESOMENESS

IT'S BLINDING

[laurenssnyder]

beautiful. love.

[RoboJesus23]

this is utterly brilliant. there really are no words to express how this song makes me feel. so modest too. at the end just quietly walks away. what a great man!! love this!!! :)

[LisaNguyen616]

I've recently fallen in love w/ this song. thanks for posting it so I could discover it!

[EJAGDesignsByLeese]

Two descriptive words for expressing Jose Gonzalez and his music. I'm inclined to choose.

Extraordinary and Brilliant. This man is truly amazing..Leese Mahoney

[putte2006]

Cat stevens?

[OberonRacing]

Amazing!

[maxwellingful]

I love playing in empty rooms like this. The acoustics are so great which makes the song that much more of a moving experience.

[Travieso78702]

I love Marfa and what a great song to sing there.

[QUINN1313]

the sound quality is incredibleee

[Gretchen244]

was für eine stimme... GÄNSEHAUT geh weg;)

[saowall]

i'm so in love with him.

[muahahaha101]

I just clicked on this randomly and its so amasing....Nylon String guitar + his voice = beautiful

[herk522]

i did the exact same thing.

[herk522]

@herk522 damn i hate this reply system.

[aniramha]

@muahahaha101

i didnt know this singer and i just found it, someone recommended it to me and i just love it!!

[Roche1983]

Genius.

[psycholinds]

i am speechless. and i am utterly captivated by his voice and the acoustics and the lyrics of this song.

absolutely beautiful. i can't get ovet it!!!

[capsuledejoie]

same here. have to go study... but im completely mesmerized :)

[vindemiatrix]

@psycholinds Everyone in the room was speechless too!!!

[pianoxavier]

@psycholinds I KNOW RIGHT!!! but its not acoustic guitar its a classical :p , sorry for being a smart ass

[psycholinds]

@pianoxavier pffffft. smarty pants :P

[mamothmanX]

@pianoxavier it's still an acoustic.  acoustic means it's self amplified, it doesn't have to do with the types of strings.

[xmedical420Marijuana]

A+++++

[FliiStylz69]

I love it when he plays his guitar.

[theboardwok]

does anyone know what they use to capture audio? many thanks, I'm a la blogotheque addict now

[plica06]

Is that a Martin Guitar? Does anyone know the make?

[bigsbyfreak]

No chances it's a Martin , It's a classical guitar with nylon strings maybe you should check his website for more informations

[cliberacki]

I'm not sure what model, but Google "Cordoba Guitars," they have a website.

[Daz365365]

Its got to be a cordoba, his musics on ther home page :P x Thanks though I always wondered what he played with.

[madhumiita]

Simplismente LINDO! José, do you have any plans to play in Brasil?

[marcioshima]

[TheSunnyEmmy]

[ryanthelion234]

=)

[ZiNk010010]

[dmmintira]

Great! =)

[foolsbetrippin]

the end is funny, he's pretending not to see the camera team in the room. does he use a guitar case? haha coughing the awkward away i see.

great song though.

[cormy89]

amazingly beautiful, sent shivers down my spine!

[8marloes8]

Hauntingly beautiful.. I'm SO greatfull there are still people out there who are able to feel and capture the very essence of music. GRACIAS!!!

[finally555]

[bencashellery]

the room jose is playing in echoes his sound in such a graceful way. great song, great musician, and a really nice vid.

[chilarie]

SPLIT 13.6??

[kortahans]

split's a town, 13/6 i guess.

[vivimperez]

[fusioneer84]

The best what a man and a guitar can create together.

[spgault]

this is top ten most beautiful things i've ever heard. bottom line

[bboyatlas]

it really moves me when i see a man so passionate about his music, 5/5

[M3rVsT4H]

Just fantastic. Thanks Jose.

[schilltronics]

[MliSweden]

[mumblepork]

[Superhajra]

IM SO ANNOYED! Not at the song, that's bloody incredible, ive been trying to get to jose gonzalez concerts for months now, every time i but the friggin' ticket, but then they say im under 16, which is sooo annoying. i cant wait two years to watch him live, ive been wanting to for 6 months already.!!!

[Enzaio]

I really lik the guitar melody on this song.

[embran]

check out "travis picking"

[Cranberriesgirl]

HE's Sexier than words with a Voice like that and his Talent on the guitar is InSane

[bluemonkey101021]

[maliwoods]

[xpacev2]

[speedo69er]

[speedo69er]

not as good as Do May Say Think

but definately talented

[kaskaskia17]

this is nothing like do make say think

[uucat]

better than this or that blah blah blah. Music isnt quantitative, its qualitative. Look those concepts up, and then spread the word.

[Nicoi]

I love Do May Say Think but...

raaandooooooom

[morgan830]

Jose is awsome. Another proud Swede here! ;)

[morgan830]

[jackrubinstein]

its clearly down to C but from then on im stumped.

please help!

[brownztone]

i got it. it actually goes down to a B so it's;

B A D Gb B E

such a great tune.

[dothe69]

do you have a tab for this song?

[brownztone]

sorry, i don't have the tab.  I'm not even sure of how to write that stuff out.

[dothe69]

It´s not hard... really... but it´s hard to explain how to do it. :) Try to find a "how to" för tab-writing. You´ll get it really soon. :)

[marshallq27]

Dangit guys! that's 2 vods that are my top favorites on youtube. Beautifully filmed, another incredible cover.

[virolac31]

great video and awesome song! Does anybody know the tuning he uses?

[matnsas]

love this

[jeweetogg]

wow.

[DeemunCow]

The space has such a nice reverb, and the lighting makes it feel so sureal. I love this.

[unbunny]

sweet

[pauloolem]

great job
