Kelly Valleau - Requiem - www.candyrat.com

[67chevy7]

this makes me want to go to sleep, swim with wales, fly through the sky/universe, have extremely intense romantic sex, meditate, be in some shadowy scene in London while it's raining, smoke allot of pot and look at the stars.

[miguetohme]

Muy Buen tema!!.. Ahora Falta Mime Requiem!!! ;-) Saludos y felicitaciones

[zesusdk]

Assassins creed.. sneaking toward the monarc sitting relaxed in his chair. Waiting for the endless pain that soon will strike. Reqiurem is played, while the assassin sharpens his blade before the overspill of blood.. what a DRAMA....! ;D

[swimmerforlife789]

Ctrl F is useful! And this song is amazingly beautiful and sad...

[NothingMuchTooHear]

mind blowing, does he have a CD! i really do want it !

[infinitcode2]

it does look like a confession room lol

[DanHamermusic]

This guy added me as a friend a while back now. I wasn't sure if i was dreaming or if it was reality!

[martywylde]

great now I have to look for @Iggy8173 's comment

[772musikman]

im tripping on shrooms right now and i started crying because of the beauty.

[szyszunia224]

I've cry when I heard those sounds ... thank You.

[IoanaFromRomania]

Amazing song! I cry everytime I am listening to it, because it reminds me of my cruel destiny...

[HannahMacyD]

this man is actually amazing, his music is just beautiful! why cant people hear this for what beauty it is rather than all this rubbish music thrown together in the charts?!

[EsamoKoram]

There is quiet sense in this music. Very good composition.

[slydg]

I would love to see Kelly do the duel from Crossroads (or just about any of the songs for that matter...) That movie was awsome and I belive Kelly would do an awsome job with those songs.

[CarlLewisC]

i thought this was requiem for a dream

[TheBestMCR]

amazing soung and wonderful song!

I'm learning to play it:)

Greetings from Spain

[anmeinersaite]

Wonderful, sound & flow, an amazing song!!!

Best regards

Thomas

[Oswald325]

[ox0Jason0xo]

[MrNeonkind]

[NyRain545]

[yourlistener]

I stopped breathing while listening. A piece to die for. Beautiful and divine.

[Dima1415]

[kennylufc]

Top quality, really great feel and emotion to this playing.

[davefolkrock]

i'm a metal head but i love this stuff aswell..dont watch him play,just close ya eyes and feel it!!..cus he is! :o)

[andyandlou]

nice work man very nice indeed

[soulchanter]

One of my Favourite bands of all time is Opeth and of their songs Requiem is my fave but it only lasts about a minute..

It sounds like the perfected version of their song.

If there would be a lake of the Damned and that lake had had it's own song....

This piece of heartbreake would be their anthem..

I bow to you ...... Deeply

[ultrared27]

@soulchanter I could only vote up once wich is prolly a good thing cause I don't want to break my mouse.

[floridabowhunter]

WOW

[ZekSzczerba]

good stuff!

[2369Davi]

God bless you!!!!

[wp4866]

whoever wrote that must have been in a sad mood

[axeguitar1]

Awesome. 

[fotobeer2516]

I Love Your Music

Simply amazing. I could watch your videos all day... And I have. Keep em coming

[hungricoh]

simply amazing. Thank you for uploading this video.

[MrMinhtien]

sooooo sweet.....

[denis4510]

Brilliant - the composition and the playing - it is a wonderful piece of music. You don't get that good without a lot of practice and a lot of natural ability. Kelly has it all.

[georgio2]

Did you make a pact with the Devil?

This is nearly too good!

[neventis]

that is just awesome !!!

[Perfectchew]

32 people quit playing guitar.

[anderenwelt]

@Perfectchew xD they hated themselves ))

[NordicRick]

Awesome Kelly!

[gukgung]

all musicians on Candy Rat are fucking awesome almost divinely awesome, and each one has his very own style, I prefere Kelly Valleau

[legendbass66]

This music told me a story about life.

[VOOLTMUSIC]

Very Good! 

[NinjaDeathTeddy]

not going to lie, you should consider yourself one of the best guitarists...

[IAmMediocreAtBest]

wow I love this. nice and dark. whenever I try composing something like this, a romantic like piece, it never turns out. Great song

[schram21891]

Between you and Andy Mckee...I understand how far I actually have to go before I can call my myself a true musician. Thanks for the Friend add...soooooo much.

[poposinante]

te cortaras el cabello te veris genial!

[po0pzmcgee]

looks like hes in the confession booth

[guitartubeTV]

[vandaahl1965]

hi Kelly...big, big compliments......this is one of those songs that almost make me cry listening to it....you SO got the point with this song....damn....speechless...:­-) Absolutely first class......:-) well done!

[gregory0312]

superbe !!!

[ValidAccountUser]

Sheesh... I feel obsolete...

[TinaSvS]

Beautifull!!

[Raquaable]

nylon is better than nickel.

[SlapHarmonic]

It's as if the dead are using you as a medium of communication through this composition. This is truly a great requiem.

[tomttyler]

Much respect Kelly, sounds wonderful. Makes me want to pick up my Classical guitar again!

[Wcburg1]

@tomttyler me too! havent played it in a while

[tomttyler]

Much respect Kelly, sounds wonderful. Makes me want to pick up my Classical guitar again!

[mcarmona94]

nice sound

[xxxslayerxxx666]

god, at :45 it sounds sooo familiar, is this a cover, or your own?

[ZimtChipsss]

a lovely guitar is worth nothing if one doesn't know how to play it right..

fortunately you absolutely know how to do this =)

[MRKanister2006]

wonderfull

[TheRoberta10]

Kel,

I LIKE YOUR STYLE!

[Snowblindinfinity]

Awesome, beautiful, fantastic, just plain talented and amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[doquieer]

la digitacion es orgasmica

[amymwebber]

Beautiful.....

[Titogus1]

Que suavidad, es un placer escuchar a este maestro

[skate4christ06]

This is absolutely amazing! anyone know where i can get the tabs for this?

[abgmax]

Kelly Valleau isn't "a" guitar player ...

He's "THE" Guitar Player !

Epic ! just Epic!

[TELFORD88]

why does it look like your playing this in a confessional booth? lol

[thedubbed]

@TELFORD88 Im glad I scrolled and saw this before I made the exact same comment.

[TheDeadthoughts]

Only 256,853 views? This MUST have at least 2560000,853000 views!!!

[nidmanswe]

@TheDeadthoughts , hehe yep, agreed, this is amazing stuff.

[KriegerGeist117]

@TheDeadthoughts i think you mean 2,560,000,853,000

[SUPERKOCKER]

@TheDeadthoughts There's only a few people a appreciate music (I mean Music ! )

The rest listen Lady G....

[Tojiro06]

@TheDeadthoughts its nice, but a melody like that is not hard, look at Villa Lobos or Agustin Barrios if you want real guitar tunes

[MetalNgames]

Really beatiful! Much feeling

[Iggy8173]

what inspires a musician to play this?

[Musicamillion]

@Iggy8173 the music on the radio

[andrei5292]

@Iggy8173

Feelings....nothing more, nothing less...

[kn100kn100]

@Iggy8173 Pictures of me naked

[DarkRaiish]

@kn100kn100

huh!?

[avery000]

ive been looking for a nylon acoustic player on candyrat for a while, but never wanted to take the time to search thru the hundreds of videos they have >.< anyone who's with candyrat is always incredible. and Kelly doesnt disappoint whatsoever. the fact that he plays a nylon just makes it all the better to me, i love the smoothness and the clarity. it just astounds me.

[twangeste]

Good indeed! My respect!

[9680bill]

He sublimate the music~~

[GabrielGroverMan]

32 people have bad aim and missed the like button. AMAZING!

[hablodeldiablo]

Beautiful melody!

[hablodeldiablo]

Beautiful melody! Loved it!

[rgvhen]

Mikael Akerfeldt would fit right in with these guys at candyrat, in terms of creative genius.

[bruno280678]

awesome ! sounds like a opeth acoustic break  5*

[JennaMarieGarnet]

Wow... Beautiful ~*

[pharmdude321]

awsome

[AMARILLO333]

real aweet awsome man!

[Kendogge]

This song is deceivingly easy.

[ChaotixMachine]

@Kendogge

Fairly easy, but still beautiful nonetheless.

[greenbrad182]

how do you do those fake harmonics?

[me700gnomes]

@greenbrad182 well there's a couple hidden way up past the fret board but he might actually be fingering some of the frets and simply moving up the harmonic.

[TheReighnart]

@greenbrad182

Wouldn't really call them fake harmonics.

There's harmonics at the 3,4,5,7,9,12,16,19,24,28 fret (not actually super sure about the 28, but whatever.) And more as you keep going.

[rmartin232]

@TheReighnart but they are called artificial harmonics, sounds like he might be foreign and has translated it wrong

[rmartin232]

[TheRoberta10]

You' re excellent!!

[000AngelofBlood000]

After 1:33... goodness... is it just me, or do the pauses really blow you away too? It's like the things that are never really spoken out loud, yet you hear them in your head, as clear as if someone had carved them into your very soul...

[anschm]

Holy hell. This guy is good!

[joseguitar1]

Buena y original música.

[wbertocchi]

Incredibile!! just one of my favorite of ever..you planned to play in Paris?

[ZachMcKay]

Powerful.

[Music4LifeRadio]

So beautiful that song of yours Kelly, a well deserved fave and was a pleasure to listen too. Truly wonderful!

Peace2u

Dave

[samwiseurgh]

Om namah shivaya Kelly. Shunga is the greatest, you do awesome job too. Did I ever say that Im whit electric bass.. Nice instrument too, if know how to beat it!! Got Landola too, but it keeps collectin dirt..

[D2PvPde]

@samwiseurgh I´m sorry, but kelly is technically better. (not just a lil bit)

Seems like half of the worlds best fingerstyle players signed at candyrat :)

[pbsolo121]

For all the incredible technicality of this peice, it just overflows with such a passion, it's brilliantly played here. I'd love to hear this live!

[ratemyshi92]

this is fcking aweasome

[tsaerakounes]

perfect..also watch andy mcKee.i think he got some very impresefull pieces ..god bless you all

[ValidAccountUser]

I have been listening to this wonderful arrangement for the last three days whenever I'm on the computer...

[09PauloOliveira]

Congratulations! Great!

[thegreatslim2]

very well done. youre definitely one of the better guitarists out there. i wish i could play like you. havent had the time to dedicate to practicing lately though. keep posting, ill definitely be watching.

[jimdylanyoung]

Kelly,

Very nice. Terrific. Inspiring.

[rkg4mer]

is there something *special in the water in Canada?? whatever it is.. I gotta get me some 'o that!

[arcanumi]

simply beautiful!!

[sandrews623]

Only the second video of yours I've seen. Very impressed.

Upper register harmonics are easy so they don't really impress me. What DID impress me were what appeared (and sounded) like harmonics done cleanly at the 5th fret. Usually a stumbling block even on a good guitar and by many good players. The sounded pure and clear.

VERY nice performance.

[astaschak]

idk , once i got the idea of harmonics down and how to do them, i didnt have much trouble with the 5th fret and i still dont even on a cheap guitar, my acoustic is a squire acoustic, real cheaply made if you ask me

[AtheistsAreGODS]

Make love to me. NOW.

Good job bud.

[xScreamToRisex]

he records in a church?

[TheronHoward]

@xScreamToRisex LOL No, Candyrat recording studio just has awesome style. xD

[yourforte]

This is very nice.

[TheOwl54]

Fascinating !

Kelly seems to be one with his guitar.

I love classical guitar Spanish style !

[josephcormier]

Very good my new friend. I love classical guitar. Did you hear Anna Vidovic? She pretty, and good.

[tatoola]

I agreen but even if John William isn't as pretty as Anna Vidovic, i much prefer his performances.

[ebronson1]

Jesus christ, this was always my favorite song to play on guitar when I was by myself.

Thank you Kelly. Beuatiful.

[coxfox10]

just beautiful man! very inspirational.

[poxzer]

very good melody..

creative artist.

*****

art!

[craftmanaa70]

лицо надо по проще делать))))

[tomitstube]

cool recording booth. it sure sounds like my takamine if i'm not mistaken. nice piece, i'm not familiar with it.

candyrat is on wiki with all the artists on there, but no one's bio is done.. you guys should do that. i'll check out the website.

[joselitomarjarino]

thank you, joselito

[XaldBalghostriped]

me likey this

[fanuvgod1]

so money.

[Fusionartist202]

Simply fascinating!

[spidaman25x]

This is fcking sex

[stychin]

Having this play at my funeral would be amazing.

[TheItalotaylor]

ele viaja

[And1for2]

@persianmetallover91

i hope not...

[Liquid505]

@And1foe2

LMFAO

[persianmetallover91]

this is like something i wanna listen to while having a really romantic dinner with the girl i want to marry.

[Loxmatii]

And you don't mind that this song is called Requiem

[MetaLeir93]

lol

[MartaineJr]

I'm not sure he knows what a requiem is...

[suthorlando]

Although I agree it's a great song, I don't think a song about the dead would be appropriate for a dinner, however I see where you're coming from, it seems like a Spanish romance at times.

[Progressionification]

@persianmetallover91 even though the song's about death and despair?...

[alanofawesome]

@Progressionification Aha, that made my day! XD

This would make a great funeral song though.

[Mapon123]

@persianmetallover91 Haha yeah I've seen a few solo guitarists playing in restaurants around here. Must be tough in the business these days..

[alextrajanodelima]

influence by brazilian music?

[gzumbana]

nice classical sound

[fezthworth123]

dude can you send me some tabs ???

by the way your amazing

how long you been playing?

[MurphyisEmu]

If you're talking about Kelly, then you have to buy the tabs from Candyrat, and i would assume many years xD

[fuminador]

i've got an orgasm at 2:30 lol

[cazzelikrueger]

@fuminador

I had 2

[EleasDubh]

Sir... That was amazing :]

[kanarejka25]

beautifull

[PhantomForest]

I love how he gets ready with that little nod at 1:34-1:35 and by the time he reaches 2:00 there are some moments on those preciouse sounds where u can sense he is on the verge of tears.

That's what i see reflected on me neway...

[SpiderM0nki]

<3 Lurve this tune :3

[nedstott]

This somehow makes me feel guilty for writing music that by these standards is so crude!

[AsartaQt]

Trust me know how you feel, but in music there always going to be someone better then you, for various reasons, but music is for me, is expressing what feel and think, and to appreciate and learn from people skill, but not lose hope in the fact in time you could be far better.

[vinniesoares]

What AsartaQt said is true. But there are more. What some people think is crude, touches the soul of others. Don't be so hard to yourself. Study and never stop making songs. You can be sure that your music is unic in the world.

[sergeidave]

I love how that sensible note from the dominant chord lowers half a tone desceptively right before resolving the cadence!!

[sergeidave]

Oh! I mean the part around 0:40. This music is awesome!

[BAMyerded]

FileDoesNotExist, maybe you should go back and study comma usage before you insult someone's grammar. What makes you qualified to insult someone's grammar? Seeing as you're obviously Mr. Grammar-Nazi, you MUST know that a comma should have been placed between "there" and "good sir."

YOUR grammar was quite bad there, good sir.

[BlazzingSaber]

I can feel the Spanish Sensation XD

[Quinn05]

he gets a REALLY nice tone.

[mayakikun]

C'mon, that's awesome. Not everyone's "taste of music" but to me - it sounds delicious : )
