wow. I'm glad I clicked on that. delightful.  very musical. a joy to hear and watch. Thanks.

[BentRadar]

That's a good arrangement for a good song. I think I'm going to learn this one. I really like Bill Tyers' arrangements. Thank you.

[eduardzigo]

so beautiful music my friend..

[DavetheIV]

Hi Mike, got the tab in front of me & watched you play, yeh it don't look quite a simple as it appears at first. Thanks for the example to follow, much appreciated!

[wwelti]

Hello Mike, very nice playing! Always again a pleasure to listen your music!

Regards, Wilfried

[oldwhtman]

Thanks for stopping by, Wilfried. I've been trying to figure out what Youtube. is doing to the audio in my videos. They seem to have changed their video conversion process since allowing HD videos. Maybe they're trying to get rid of me.

[nelliesson]

This performance is, like all your other ones, very very good (but celtic I love the most).

Greatings from Belgium.

[Lexilea68]

Well done my friend.

[AndanteLargo]

Hello my 'old' friend! How are you? Only you can tell HOW you are but I can tell you are good!! at playing this... as always I relaize how difficult it is to play 'simple' arrangements. But you really pull it off

5 stars from Sweden.

Greetings, Maestro. Youtube is quite dull when you're not around. I noticed you returned recently with a brand new play thing. I've been in a jealous rage ever since. You have an excellent class of friend, sir. That 7-string guitar sounds magnificent.

[DamianNixon]

Very alluring playing Mike. D.

[oldwhtman]

Thanks, Damian. The man who claimed to be my father says we are decended from Welshmen. Is that close enough to Ireland? At any rate, I don't know any Welsh tunes, so this will have to do.

[DamianNixon]

Hahaha. You're definitely a Celt my friend. Ádh mór duit. D.

[MuseZone]

Good to see you play again. Beautifully played! Thanks for sharing Mike!

[MaceGill]

Brother, why didn't you ask! Anyway, THIS version is much more complex than mine ;)

Great sound!

[oldwhtman]

I was too proud to ask for help. I think Bill must have gone to music school or something. His arrangements reflect a musical understanding that eludes me in my own efforts.

[MaceGill]

Yeah man - was listening to the arrangement - he flirts with contrary motion and different rhythmic figures and such - mine is more or less parallel sixths with tonic bass notes. - fun to play though! Maybe I'll redo it with vocals as well.

lack of talent my ass!

your awesome man

5stars from me to you

[Judamacaby]

It's nice to see you again. This is really nice. I've been listening to it to it all day.

[turkamine]

Great job!!

[Lansdownekid]

Thats a fantastic arrangement and played very well, not talented enough?? you are far too modest!! 5 ****** for a great performance.

P.S. without coming across as rude, would you have the Tab by chance that you could send me?

[oldwhtman]

You can get the tab at Bill Tyers' website. There's a link in the video information text. Just click [More Info] and you'll see it.

[ProphetsKitty]

Bahaha you're funny old sir~ quit being so modest! XD I've loved all your videos so far~<3

[waskwask83]

oh SIR it seems you don't know how great you are, you've never known yourself at all

thank you for the video and longing for more and more ^_^
