[martelogomes]

lindo



[SexRobotOfDoom]

Funny, now that I think of it I can't imagine how God's face looks either.

[ob1ob123]

Can't get enuff of this

[paraira]

energy drink for soul.

[JadeMRE]

What effect is he using?

[Artzka]

I would pay for Acoustic Labs tab book. Seriously id pay 30-50$ for these all tabs

[0701396]

I pretend to play my guitar as I listen to this.

[365d24h60m]

Wow, Amazing !!!

[Melfice93]

Oh my god, man you made my day! Allready know my next song to learn at the guitar now! :)

Love it!

[a14370]

It's very great, congratulation!!!!!

[ThomasLindberg]

I have watched this at least once every day for a month now.

[cgpetit]

FUCKIN AMAZING!

[santoouin]

One of the most beautiful,magical and original musical pieces ever compossed without a doupt.This melody is tottaly unwordly in a very special way.I never belived guitar would work for this,being a Piano player i consider it to be the right and best instrument for "Heart asks pleasure first" but i was surprised to realise that it is actually very nice on other instrument too.well done!

[dante92nero92]

tabs....im begging!

[DAYSLEEPERWIL]

@dante92nero92 learn music

[dante92nero92]

@DAYSLEEPERWIL im currently studying music...so what do u mean?

[DAYSLEEPERWIL]

@dante92nero92 glad you took my advice

[GeorgeMizel255]

great but too much reverb

[RubenyRaquel]

Fantastic. I love this song, but never like this....

[ThomasLindberg]

This possibly my favorite thing I have ever seen or heard on the internet. Music is the gateway to the soul and this is whats waiting inside.

[ThomasLindberg]

If this was any more beautiful and awe inspiring it wouldnt be able to be contained by this world. The mass of the world is not ready to stop and listen.

[weedrunkglasgowman]

I watch this every day......pure inspiration.

(at least twice a day)

[weedrunkglasgowman]

Stunning.

[MovementPersonified]

This is an absolutely amazing rendition of "The Promise" and dare I say that it's better than the original!

[weedrunkglasgowman]

@MovementPersonified Totally agree.

[faearran]

bloody marvelous.is that open tuning or capo,d

[SexRobotOfDoom]

and there I was thinking the original is one of the greatest tunes ever performed

good fucking job, now if only a decent rock or metal band would cover this I could breathe easy

[vickypan84]

Is it possible to find the notes of this adaptation..???Please..!!!!!!!­1

[vickypan84]

@DoctorBoggles Me too my friend.. :-((

[marcocressati]

GRAZIE DI ESISTERE

[Lechatlee]

You play on Martin?

[Chichichua]

what's the tuning called?

[snkhuong]

@Chichichua F# D A C# F# C#

[Chichichua]

@snkhuong does it have a name?

[snkhuong]

@Chichichua no

[TimmysHQ]

I truly am amazed.

[dumay1992]

2 people liked it so much they flipped their monitors to put Like again.

[smerinomar]

you're the music I've been looking for a long time, pure and unique, just amazing... greetings from Chile!

[WoeisMeBitch1309]

i watch this like every day man! iv played guitar for like 3 years and i found myself getting so board of heaps of pieces i played and styles i was into and after hearing this iv been playing none stop trying to tab this rendition out

[WoeisMeBitch1309]

TABS! NOW! STAT! 

[FRNCSCZMLL]

BRAVO!!

[smpsn]

wow thats beautiful!!!

[Pierstoval]

How can an acoustic guitar sound this smooth and grave ? I never heard something like this. Compared to this, my A&L guitar cries out loud an acute sound each time I touch it...

[RocKKunix]

@Pierstoval

it depends on how do you touch it..:P

[SepticRemains]

Goosebumps...

[TheumizProductions]

wtf this is simply EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[elveondain]

so much better than the original...

[xpamol]

Beautiful, very well done, but i just thought you should slow down a beat or two, obviously you play guitar very well and i thought going a little too fast, but that is just me..very well played though

[DieWizDignity]

I always found musician's hands almost as fascinating than the sounds they produce. I think if I turn deaf, I would keep watching this video.

[annedeverona]

AMAZING¡¡



[Kirik9999999]

мазафака вот это класс

[mell94]

How do you become as good as this. Stunning performance. Sounds like a complete orchestra playing. Thanks.

[james5943]

You can't see his face because its Chuck Norris

[MrBardakson]

@james5943 It cant be Chuck Norris because I saw Chuck Norris playing this song with his feet xD

[masumasters]

впечатляет,чёрт возьми.

[anem00ne]

TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE!!!! *gone to practice*

[123Cose123]

xxx People are guitar-racists.

[123Cose123]

Holy shit... I love you guy, you done a perfect job!

[goobanater]

and uh. there is a microphone retards

[goobanater]

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SONG



[MrRiswanluthfi]

the technique is......BRILIANT!!

[Techminster]

Just amazing. And a great job on the Canon as well!!! Another song that needs the magic touch of Greg's Guitar is "River Flows In You" by Yiruma. Will the Great Greg Play? I guess only time (or a comment from the man himself) will tell.

[sweetthinolemon2]

I want this TAB 0r Music Sheet for this song pretty BAD, please....please...,pleaseeeee­..

[BILLthekill7]

Hey mate ! You are perfecT ! But .. Do you Remember the Standard Tuning or already forgot and wondering .. ? ;) Keep up !

[Stgdemon]

By the way, 'meager' isn't a proper way to describe a piano to guitar transition. In most covers I've heard that originated on piano, the guitar brings nothing to it. You sir have a spectacular talent in doing so, so do not sell yourself short!

[Stgdemon]

I really wish I could get someone to teach me to play like this. I've played around 18 years and have yet to find a teacher in my area that isn't based around rock/punk/metal (which I've taught myself essentially). Bravo, keep up the good work! I'm still trying to figure out your version of Lux Aterna, which isn't going to well I must say, lol.

[TheJeffBean]

I am now a padewon. TEACH ME!

[MrAndiman22]

Nice...your are solid on that string thing dude...seriously good version,

[soho222]

this proves that there's always some idiot. Who the fuck clicked on the dislike button?????

[missrosepetals]

You won me over with the first note. Subscribed!

[Whisperlands]

Beautiful!!

[hellven89]

1 person can't keep his promise

[pvalvald]

I have the original piano sheets. But this version is amazing!!!!!!

Please TABS!!!!!!!

[skkiittllezz]

i dont have TABS but if you want I can give you the sheet music for this. if you really want to play it

[pvalvald]

TABS NOW !!!!!!!!!!! Please.

[pvalvald]

TABS NOW !!!!!!!!!!! Please.

[mishkyn910]

OMG! No words for this.

[czopko1]

i couldnt possibly have put it better myself than baseofthepillar amen

[BaseOfThePillar23]

I have played guitar most of my life and never, not once, has a piece of music hit me like this did.  No praise I could lavish on this piece could do it justice. Thank you.

[deansusky]

Back to hear more

[999santanas]

awesome stuff.... tabs please???

[syabahtheretarded]

You've played very very nice...... By the way....can i get the chords??

[McTacoKingHutJr]

your guitar is extremely well recorded

[kkjeannechan]

So wrong, when you've heard the piano original. :/ It's good though, but it's not at all like the original.

[DoctorBoggles]

@kkjeannechan You're right, its better.

[nightfalloriginal]

FANTASTIC!!!! You are a genius!

Los pelos como escarpias!!

[lukas728]

Amazing.

A Question: what reverb is that?

[DoctorBoggles]

This video just made me put down my xbox 360 controller, slap myself in the face, and work on being a better guitarist. Silly me, thinking playing a game is better than playing my guitar. Thanks for waking me up.

[ac1013dc]

@DoctorBoggles and your comment along with the video has made me do the same, except im not playing xbox atm

[SamuelZeitler]

may i ask, how the hell do you get the tuning so low ? and still working with a capo O,o?

[Mickayish]

Just simply epic! amazing!

[mathiasjl92]

Hoyly shiet. That was amazing

[JSho005]

One person needs to be made into a guitar and played by this man.

[egosanti]

eres una maquina!!!!!! ;)

[larkie57]

This is so lovely. We played this at my fiancee's funeral. I'm not going to ask for tabs but could you confirm the tuning at the nut? - I've attempted your tuning of AFCEAE but it doesn't seem to figure with the capo on the 4th fret like you have...

Anyway... Beautiful, brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[lowlands2508]

Whouw!

I've been dreaming to do this piece on guitar since i've seen the movie for the first time. You are making it a masterly guitar piece! Thanks for sharing.

[rojinegrafer]

I watch it everyday and it never ceases to impress me :) I love your nails :P

[rojinegrafer]

Flawless... 

[roxidemetal]

Awesome. Very good sound quality.

[zakizakaria69]

very good....good arrangement...creative improvisation :D

[StephanieStrobe]

Marry Me.

[ziccot]

ALMOST better than the original... (well, I guess that's not fair, I also play the guitar so I'm a bit overwhelmed by our awesomeness)

[angryredcom]

I just came. I hate to be this guy but..."tabs?"

[bryonyrocks]

@angryredcom use your ears bruv

[Justusson]

@angryredcom Tabs, or perhaps a view that more easily shows the fingerwork? =) That would be wonderful - even though I understand all the work that is put into realising this piece.

It sure is an adventure this song, a journey that takes you from one place to another. Through valleys and mountains, forrest and sea. Truly spectacular!

[WoeisMeBitch1309]

@angryredcom we need tabs! sheet music at least!

[angryredcom]

@WoeisMeBitch1309 I think I need to develop Parkingsons... there is no other way my thumb will ever move that fast goddammit!

[eastwoodize]

@angryredcom u sure that you can play this? :)

[angryredcom]

@eastwoodize With sheet music or tabs, I could come close; My bass line would be the hardest part to keep going.

[eastwoodize]

@angryredcom ah ok, then i hope for you that there are tabs soon ;)

[ALanSaidTrujillo]

dont like the echoe effect...

[Marcuspianoguitar]

@ALanSaidTrujillo there is no echo effect..

just reverb.

[jacopos81]

masterpiece.

[gsoe]

I can't stop watching this.

[czopko1]

who are you mr. player?are you in la ?how much for a lesson?

[rickall2]

What's the price for the tab??? I want it!!! Beautiful song; you are really good

[takekey]

J'adoore c'est magnifique... J'aime énormément l'oeuvre de Michael Nyman, et j'adore encore plus à la guitare ♥

[nimthirielhime]

Omg god so beutiful. I'd do anything for the tabs!!!!

[MrZeitgeist2012]

This is one the best sounding guitars I've ever come across! It sounds bigger than life... This is the way a guitar should sound like. Good Job!

[prank1997]

@MrZeitgeist2012 actually the guitar sounds like a usuall acoustic guitar but it's only recorded with a special programe... :D (read the descripiton)

[willdude21]

@prank1997 I think that's a bit unfair all that he's done with logic is drench it in reverb, you don't need a "special" computer program to do that. The unique sound quality here is the way he has used super low tuning on very old strings, gives it that sonorous bell like quality and I think it sounds great!

[pavelkasl]

tak to je super !!!!!

[ice9negative]

Best cover of Nyman i've seen..

[tahedag]

You are my hero and you don't even need a cape cuz you have strings!!!

[myggen1987]

A strongly inspiring arrangement that tells what music really is.

Very well done sir!

[chatillos]

sin palabras, francamente impresionante!!

[beedo4u]

You've inspired me to sell my classical and get an acoustic, which is an awful thing to do as a guitar major. I have never seen such inticate fingerwork on an acoustic. Thank you. Are you solely self taught or did you get any formal education?  Thank you again for the wonderful contribution.

[Lof4Music]

i'm gonna need the name of the one guy that disliked this;o

[stevywolf]

Nice arrangement but a pity of the amplification and electronic effects. This piece asks for a pure sound.

[Ph3nMn]

amazing video and amazing arrangement!

[hashbury09]

thank you an amazing upload

[rojinegrafer]

Awe inspiring... haha every time I see it I have to comment . Really inspiring, now I'm trying to figure my own version, which sounds a lot like yours haha ... no wonder why... XD

[beedo4u]

Thank you very much.

[DillonBerkley]

Meagar rendition!?!? This was one of the best things ive ever experienced listening to this song. People like you inspire me on a level you would not believe.

[xline1472]

i love this song

BRAVO !!!!

[crlgrt312]

whoah! i`ll trade my eyes 4 that kind of skill! whoah! (^_^)

[prboyd]

There are few recordings of music that can actually bring me to tears in my lifetime. This has done it several times. Incredible performance and recording of an incredible piece of music. People have said "epic" below and I agree. Blown away!

[rojinegrafer]

I NEED desperately your tabs.... or a way to get it ... simpler than I thought, yet great. Thanks, really loved It.... ;-)

[MrCoroton]

fantastc saund and very good player *****

[sussukhan]

Great song!!!♥♥;-)))

[Empitnessify]

wooooow, it's wonderful *_*

[VyThyD]

I wish I was as epic on the guitar as you. My dad plays guitar as well as you though. Man, to see that duet would be amazing! Great job (:

[A122237]

muy buena, pero me gusta mas en piano, claro está que tu trabajo fué excelente.

[bislly]

Parabens, a ,usica é otima e a execução idem...5*.

[TheNightTears]

Great songs on your channel...

All the best...

[louice]

This is amazing, but that guy will make your jaw hit the floor. Rock on mate!

[csereix]
