  • i think its weird that people are coming to a video saying.

    JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG!

    people do listen to the song, but if you can´t write at the same time your listening to music then you my good friend, are an retarded fella.

  • four pink sleeveless tunics disliked this.

  • Thanks for the wonderful English / Nordic folksong!

  • best of all covers art tolkki god

  • Beautiful. I'm listening to this piece just before going to sleep.

  • How many guitars are used in this?

  • @Azkarioth so what?

  • Timo Tolkki's ancestor Timmein Tolkkien wrote Greensleeves

  • OMG whenever i watch a video with greensleevs theres always this heated debate about who wrote it and when

    HOW CARES

    IT WAS WRITTEN BY ONE PERSON AT ONE TIME

    AND THE MUSIC IS AMAZING

    I DONT THINK THEY WOULD APPRECIATE HISTORY-EXPERT WANABEES CARING ABOUT NOTHING BUT WHO WROTE IT

    JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC

  • @residentevilgoddess Stop being a prick.

  • @uBeR1337gUy

    I don't see how that guy was being a "prick".

  • @poochy2479 Telling people how to enjoy music and the history behind it constitutes being called a prick. Typing it in all caps just furthers the prick vibe. Calling people 'wanabees' for being interested in history is just stupid. Their spelling and grammar is atrocious, but that's unrelated to their status as a prick.

  • @uBeR1337gUy

    Yes, someone who tells people how to enjoy music and ranting about the history while typing with horrid grammar would be a prick. However, that guy did not rant about the history, nor did he tell anyone how to enjoy the music, and honestly, I think all he was really missing was punctuation and I noticed just a few minor spelling errors. I do not think he was a prick. Maybe you should have actually read his comment with your eyeballs.

  • La première photo que j'ai vue de lui m'a foutu la pétoche \o/

    C'est incroyablement magnifique... J'ai rarement entendu quelque chose d'aussi émouvant. Ca réveille des mélancolies, des tiraillements, et des rêves...

    Merci...

  • @Crimiette

    à écouter par RITCHIE BLACKMORE pour le ROCK et LOREENA McKENNITT pour le FOLK (celte)

  • That's awesome!!!

  • Timo Tolkki !!!!!!

    classé parmi les dix meilleurs guitaristes mondiaux !!!

  • @Azkarioth So that's why I found this song while I was looking for Stratovarius~ I love this cover~!

  • mozart might cry hardly if he could hear this, because Tolkki made the beauty of this song endless...

  • This Isn't Startovarius It's Happens to be Timo Tolkki Who Is Their Guitar Player and Genius of The Group. The Song is From his 1994 Solo Album ' Classical Variations and Themes.

  • This is not originally from them. Greensleeves is a traditional song from England (I think it was England). But I loved this version!

  • Very good song !

  • This song is amazing. I tried to play it by ear on the guitar, and realised that it actualy manages to mix two very basic scales together that are quite different, yet it makes it all sound amazing. So simple, yet so frigin catchy!

  • i started taking guitar lessons because i wanted to play my favorite songs from my favorite power metal bands. this is the very first song i was taught, but i was taught the original (mozart?) version. then i discovered one of my favorite power metal bands plays a version of it. awesome :D

  • @wakabayashigenzo Neo-Classical Actually.

  • @wakabayashigenzo: Mozart?? no dude, this is an english folk melody, much older than Mozart... ;) Stratovarius is (well, "was") an amazing band.

  • I choreographed a dance to this very version of Greensleeves for my wedding. Should upload it sometime to Youtube.

  • Sometimes there is beauty in keeping things simple... Mr.TimoT is no fool, he know's exactly what he's doing musically :P

  • yeah! like keeping the number of x's in you name down to only 1!

  • You messed up the spelling of arrangements two separate times in two different ways.

    Fail.

  • In my country we speak spanish, anyway, its a bit stupid to foucus on how somebody writes and not the meaning of the message.

    Fail.

  • It is though, because if you mess up the spelling of a word it can become a different word and change the meaning of the statement. I could say something in spanish right now, and if I articulated it wrong and made some grammatical errors, you might not be able to focus on the meaning of the message because you won't be able to interpret it correctly.

    Think.

  • Nah, he did this song justice.

  • realy nice!!!

  • stupenda

  • I'm going to make a new version of this song with my band, Winterbreath, and I've to say that Timo has had a great idea covering this song. We're taking inspiration from it, thanks, Timo.

  • The best version so far!

  • this would sound incredible with an eBow

  • it was Henry VIII that wrote this song yes.

    but actualy i think this was the best performance of this song : )

  • That is just a popular misconception. Greensleeves is believed to be Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that didn't reach England until after the death of Henry VIII

  • One of the best harmonics i've heared yet, Doesn't matter who wrote it,,,,

  • DEAD PERSON WROTE THIS SONG!!! done :) :p

  • lol black humor at its finest

  • yeah supposedly. He put his name on the sheet of music, but someone else at the time wrote it for him.

  • actually he didn't

  • yeah, its amazing, and the guy who said its rumored to be written by henry VIII was right, look it up :D

    timmo tolkki is an amazing guitarist :D

    i'll be that good one day wait and see ;)

  • Wrong-o. Greensleeves was written some time before 1600 (earliest examples indicate about 1580). Mozart was born in 1756, so unless he used his time travelling piano then he didn't write greensleeves. Its believed Henry VIII wrote it, but unproven.

  • fair enough

  • do you watch scrubs?

  • @awesomemd I know the history of this song already, but I like to think the reason why people are thumbing up your comment is because the idea of Mozart with a time travelling piano is the most epic music thing ever.

    At least, that's why I did it. :D

  • @Ryuuie people are thumbing up awesomemd's comment because hes 100% exactly right;)

  • @patrickroks Ya, I know. X3 It's still a nice idea to think about though. :D Mozart's time travelling piano..

    This song is the very first song I learned to play by myself on piano. :)

  • @Ryuuie i am a guitarist myself and i love to play mozart's turkish march.

    i also play the piano but i am not very skilled at it as on the guitar.

    my uncle also is a pianist (keyboard to be precise)

    i also love to play pachelbel's canon in d.

    i have been a huge neo-classical fan since i can remember.

  • @awesomemd good info ;)

  • @awesomemd time travelling piano lol I need one!! =D

  • godly! and it is timmo tolkki.

  • the funny thing is

    this is played wrong by one note

  • ???

  • one note they play is minor when it should be major.

    but the most common version these days are played the way this is played.

    both sound awesome though.meh.

  • The fifth note should be raised a half step - this song is supposed to be in the Dorian mode, not Aeolian or minor. Well, actually, because of the leading tone added in in some spots, it is mode mixture, but you get the idea.

  • He "was" the guitarist from Stratovarius but this song is from his own album called "Classical Variations and Themes".

  • this is most definantly stratovarius
