  • @MAMG1990 Te falto en japones ore ore ore!!!

  • Excellent.

  • he reminds me of chet atkins

    

  • Slow it down and articulate! It loses a lot when you rush. Very good playing, mediocre feeling.

  • hm.. nice :D

  • Pretty rad man! Keep up the lightning-fast picking!!!

  • "Ragtime should never be played fast" Scott Joplin.

    I suppose it's great that you can play so fast but the problem is the notes don't get to breathe. You really can't tell what you're playing in all that flurry which is too bad because you're probably a great player...

  • well he plays great but i think he need to slow down a bit more, he is playing like it was a banjo the music needs to breath,imo, but still great to listen to!

  • nice :D

  • nice

  • wow that's pretty intense! Sounds like a piano haha

  • I could get jiggy with this

  • Thanks to @anna14567 to send me here!!

  • pajaro campana!!!

    

  • How does your brain think the fast. I like 1:38 to slow us down, but only to drive us insane as we adore your fingers pace!!! Talent, dedication, but mostly God's gift. 

  • Awesome.

  • Excellent stuff........

  • this was sent to me thumbs up if this was to u to

  • this is pretty baller lol

  • Props to ruth4856 for sending this to me! This is DOPE!

  • i hope to be this good one day

  • nice playing... always amaze when seeing acoustic player performing

  • I think it's great. Thanks to ruth4856 for sending it to me.

  • nice nice nice :) 

  • amazing.

  • I agree with MarceloLaraM. You can't win in this business. Someone makes the effort to come up with a new style of playing and what happens, he gets criticised because it doesn't sound like another style. The sound could be better but the playing is brilliant. I've just downloaded the sheet music from his webstie and am going to have a go. Wish me luck !

  • You are an amazing guitar player!!!

  • Great!!

    

  • idk how people are saying this is lacking. its on beat, structurally the song is good, his technique is more than impressive, yea it has that cheesy ragtime sound that sounds like it belongs in a mario game, but its intended to sound like that. i dont think its lacking, if u dont like it, im cool with that, i dont blame you, but in my mind, and maybe im wrong, this song was everything it was trying to be, and more. good job

  • very good

  • Impressive!!! Thanks to Anna for the share

  • Hi Derek-very nice playing.I do however agree with "Biblioholic" in his conviction that your performance lacks "umph" and "focus".My feeling is that while the syncopated finger picking is very agile and hypnotic ,the beat is rather ill defined.I think all that is required to really pull everything together is for you to work on nailing down that bass string beat.Remember what the man said: "It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing".Good luck and keep it up.

  • pretty good i just hate classical acoustic stuff :P

  • Very nice !!

  • Good, but not amazing.

  • its ok...

  • It's good, you're obviously an excellent guitarist... but, to me, it lacked a certain "umph." A beat. If you can play so much on one guitar, then throw in a beat to tap your foot to. All melody had me drifting off and losing focus about halfway through. It's pretty, but it was the same all the way through. Change it up. Mix it up.

    Just my 2¢.

    Liked it, just trying for Constructive Criticism.

  • amazing but not my type of music

  • lols nice work man :)

  • awesome :D

    very nice and clean riffs :)

  • :O omg perfict music omg soooooo gooddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­ddddddddddddddddddd the best music in the worlg :D

    And I will say - YES. IT IS.

  • fantastic!

  • wow very interesting i like it thumbsup if you agree ^-^

  • great stuff man...thanks.

  • Super great. What a great player. 

  • Pretty damn good left had technique...

  • great technic, fast fingers and neat touch... but u think that u need to try another of music... i not that i dont like what ur playing... i like it very much... but i think that u maybe would do it better if u try to play some "bossa nova" songs from brazil... i mean that because of ur playing stile and technic, try it!!!!!

  • Excellent pickin,' but this track is too laden from the acoustical reverb. It really takes a wired guitar and a mic not more than a few feet back from a tiny warm tube amplifier for all the realism you would ever need.

  • super,thx friends for sharing.I like it!!!

  • lovvin it, wonderful performance

  • i wish i could play like him ;)

  • Respect man that was amazing

  • Am I the only one thinking Super Mario?

  • Really wonderful!! :-)

  • muy bueno excelente

  • great man ^^ realy nice sound

  • wow!

  • Awesome playing

  • Very cool

  • skilled, and sounds great

  • Great! Usually you dont see much musicality in a normal acoustic guitar picker, but he really brings the melody out like a ragtime piece. I can definitely see the classical influence, its hard for me to finger pick on a acoustic cause it ruins my nails haha. Great music keep it up!

  • Just amazing !

  • very nice sounds well thought out

  • not my usual style but i really liked this!!

  • his fingers r super fast o.o

  • I could die happily if I was half as good as this guy.

  • Very good player.

    

  • thanks (Derek--newark)---I DID like it...I would only add that (I) love when all is not filled up---the 'pauses' are what are ears---'pickup'---but well done---Do I know this person?

  • 1 in 300 people who view this are deaf or 1 jealous crap guitarist has 20 accounts! well played that was an amazing solo I can see you becoming a household name would love to see you in a night with Jools Holland lineup Awesome!

  • Wow, this is great. All the notes are very clear, and I can't hear any places where he hesitates, a great performance.

  • Bravo

  • Nice bro

  • I like it.

  • Amazing !!

  • fantastic

  • Great talent and most enjoyable. The artist perhaps could highlight himself more even just by smiling more.

  • That was fuckin amazing

  • Pretty good.

  • Very good. While the music is unique, I sense a bit of Steve Howe and Lindsey Buckingham influence in the style of playing.

  • Incredible playing!!..

  • Hey i have that guitar! Sweet solo cheers for sharing

  • very nice

  • Glad I was pointed in this direction, unfortunately it's not my thing, although the skills are obvious and impressive.
