[SuperQuentin22]

[k14ce2002]

[fngrstyl]

Very nice!

[k14ce2002]

@fngrstyl

Thank you very much!

[edjevon66]

very nice piece of art man! is there any chance I can get the tabs? please!!!! thanks a lot

[filipinoguy54]

nice playing sir ^__^ can I have the tabs?

[jerrydesu]

Nice arrangement and beautifully played. Do you have tab. This song really brings back memories. Would love to be able to play it. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Very nice.

[dustynote]

sounds great!

[k14ce2002]

@dustynote

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks a lot!!

[ep1282]

I gotta say.. this is one hard piece to play. I don't know how you do it so fluidly. Your fingers move so gracefully across the fret board. My fingers look like their fighting with the strings!

[k14ce2002]

@ep1282

Just keep practicing slowly and you'll get it. Glad you enjoy the arrangement and thanks for the compliment!

[SimplyJustBecause01]

I would punch a baby in the face to be able to play this. TEACH ME PLEASE!!!!!! TUTORIAL!!!!!!

[k14ce2002]

@SimplyJustBecause01

Haha, no baby punching allowed! =)

[Laked21]

Beautiful :')

[121jigawatts]

Very nice! I thought only Andy Mckee had a gift for instrumental songs of yesteryears!

[k14ce2002]

@121jigawatts

Haha! Thank you for such a great compliment! Glad you liked it!

[Nomzer]

Great job man. you got a great sound

[k14ce2002]

@Nomzer

Thanks a lot!

[J0sA1Ac]

hey just a suggestion, could you provide tuning info in the description in the future, it could really help me. what tuning is this in? thanks, great arrangements you've got! =D

[k14ce2002]

@J0sA1Ac

No problem, I'll have to remember that! It is tuned from low to high: DADGAD

Glad you like the arrangement.

[LKGladish]

:) yup, listening again!

[k14ce2002]

@LKGladish

I don't mind! =) I was trying to upload my second video on arranging for the FB page, but it was taking

FOREVER! So, I figured I would go about it via a YouTube link that I can post in the morning.

As it stands, it still has approximately 2 hours to go and sleep is calling my name!

[1961clayton]

asome playing you can hear every word !!

[Aarrmehearties]

You've really nailed the warmth of this song, like a mug of hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire.

[LKGladish]

Loved this!!!!

[k14ce2002]

@LKGladish

Thanks a lot! I just monkey around a bit and get lucky!

[LordToby25]

do you think this would be a good song for a beginner? if so could you give me the tabs? thanks and keep up the good work

[k14ce2002]

@LordToby25

Its really not too hard. There are just a few stretches that are a tad difficult.

[magentakat]

I'm speechless. This is awesome! Could you do 'She' by Andy McKee?

[k14ce2002]

@magentakat

I am glad you like this! I can at some point, I just don't know when, but I will keep it in mind!

[JesseGuitar07]

sounds great my friend!

[k14ce2002]

@JesseGuitar07

Thanks Jesse! Your new guitar on the Lute Suite Gigue is very full sounding. Deep and resonant is a

great way to describe it!

[badassmexicandude]

nice job on this bro!

[k14ce2002]

@badassmexicandude

Thanks! I might play Kick It Muska next!

[taylorswift1142]

this is soo beautiful!!!! Do you have tabs please? i"m dying to learn it!!

[k14ce2002]

@taylorswift1142

Glad you like it. Just message me with an email

address.

[thomsson19]

Wonderfull job! You're killing me with this video. It's really one of my favourit song and I'm really glad you posted this video. There is one thing we can be sure... If you're adding a new video it will be certainly a perfect job. Greetings from Poland and waiting for next perfect video. :)

[k14ce2002]

@thomsson19

Thank you very much for your kind words! Sorry for the delay, but my internet/cable line was down for the past 3 weeks. I appreciate you taking the time to listen/watch! Hope the next video will be to your liking as well!

[brokejoker]

hey man, im a metal/punk guitarist and i almost cried hearing this. you rock and i will probably view this 100 times until i perfect it. awesome. i may get laid soon. hahaha

[k14ce2002]

@brokejoker

Sorry for my delayed response due to my line being repaired. Glad this was something that moved you a bit! If you need the tab to help learn it, just message me with an email address. Take care and hope this helps you

with the ladies as well!

[RileyAcoustic]

Just back in from Germany -- love the guitar and sound! Great arrangement as well, as always! That guitar just sounds wonderful! I really love it.

Riley

[k14ce2002]

@RileyAcoustic

Glad you it Riley! It is an easy arrangement to play

I am loving the guitar as well! Hopefully you will visit Germany

again!

[tazief]

2 personnes are definitly deaf.

Awesome one as always, this is so cool to listen !! (you got my email adress even if i won't have the time to learn it for now, I still have your grenade to work :D)

Your arrangements are really amazing your playing so generous in emotions! htanks, keep up, take care, and stay out of jail !

[k14ce2002]

@tazief

Thanks Max! Well, you can't please everybody and there are always a few haters. But, even greats like McKee, not that I am close to him, get the dislike button! It's cool. I appreciate those who support me, and don't worry about the others. I did send the tab. Hope you got it! Yes, I will be staying out of jail! haha

[merelvh]

Cool! Love your new guitar... !

[k14ce2002]

@merelvh

Thanks Merel! I'll have a video with better lighting to show it a bit in more detail.

I appreciate your comment, and your great compositions !

[jhempel24]

This is one of your best yet!! Really love the harmonics in the intro!!

[k14ce2002]

@jhempel24

Thanks a lot Joe! Sorry for the late reply!

[LiquidGib]

[k14ce2002]

Thank you for the recent comments, they are appreciated!

I will hopefully have internet access again in a few days to respond

and send out tabs. I am limited to my phone currently

[DenimDude]

[k14ce2002]

@MrJwcool

Yup. A Charis SJ with Malaysian Blackwood and German Spruce top.

[paskinas]

Amazing job Chuck! What guitar are you playing here?

[k14ce2002]

@paskinas

@CrazyPingu27

[Trembled]

Amazing once again Chuck great work! I love how all of your arrangements always so sound so "full" can't wait for you next one!

[k14ce2002]

@Trembled

Thank you very much! I do try to make them sound as rich as I can.

[WillCerf]

You're the reason that I want to play guitar again, you remind me how beautiful the melody of the guitar. It's been a long time since I didn't hear a calm melody from you. Say, can you make a tutorial or a tab for this song?

[k14ce2002]

@WillCerf

Thanks for the great compliment! I do try to keep the melody strong in the arrangements. I won't be doing a tutorial, but I do have the arrangement tabbed out.

[WillCerf]

@k14ce2002 cool!can you send it to meee?

[k14ce2002]

@WillCerf

I just need you to message me with an email address. Thanks.

[paolocabahug]

@k14ce2002 Nice Job! :D keep it up!:D please send the tabs to me :D paololix_cabahug@y.c. Thanks!

[k14ce2002]

[mmarzl]

[k14ce2002]

@mmarzl

Thank you very much Marcel!

[TheDillsterr]

This video needs to just be retitled "how to get a girlfriend" ahahaha

[k14ce2002]

@TheDillsterr

I should do a follow up one on how to get out of the dog house as well!

[TheDillsterr]

@k14ce2002 You should! hahah

[nictkyiu]

awesome...tks for introducing this song! As usual, nice arrangement!

[k14ce2002]

@nictkyiu

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!

[jograd08]

do you still make tabs for your arangements and share them? nice one here

[k14ce2002]

@jograd08

Thanks a lot! Yes I do.

[Guntheman]

man just gotta add, really love your style of finger picking!

[k14ce2002]

@Guntheman

Thank you very much! I appreciate that!

[dlggnation]

Beautiful, Ive been waiting for a new one =)

[k14ce2002]

@dlggnation

Thank you! It has been a while, so I decided to do a shorter version of the song with just intro, verse, & chorus. On to the next project!

[Guntheman]

very nice. =)

[k14ce2002]

@Guntheman

Thank you very much!

[angelokur]

Simply Unbelievable

[k14ce2002]

@angelokur

Thanks for the great compliment!

[char680]

I swear to god this guy is a beast, no joke.

[k14ce2002]

@char680

Haha! Thanks! That is much appreciated.

[Fichtezxc]

Very nice!!

[k14ce2002]

@Fichtezxc

Thank you! I know that it is short, but I wanted to let people know that I am still around.

[Fichtezxc]

@k14ce2002 You might well have changed my mind from being set on McPherson. I might have to give Charis another look.

[k14ce2002]

@Fichtezxc

I know I was really hooked on their volume and clarity! I like the McPherson, but the model I played didn't project as much as the Charis, at least when playing it fingerstyle. I am 100% confident you would not be disappointed in a Charis. The Malaysian Blackwood is quite rich and resonant.

[TheRika1234]

Chuck this song is beautiful, you are my idol, really

[k14ce2002]

@TheRika1234

Thanks for being generous with your compliment!

[Vipblast]

Awesome. :)

[k14ce2002]

@Vipblast

Thank you very much!

[blaksephirot]

wow nice guitar c:

[k14ce2002]

@blaksephirot

Thanks! I'm also using mics through the line input to capture a stronger

and more realistic sound the guitar makes.

[voirdire]

Nice Chuck. Can't wait to hear the long version.

[k14ce2002]

@voirdire

Thanks! The second verse wasn't too different from the first, so I shorted the arrangement.

I might do the full song at a later date.

[marinelovesuperman]

this is beautiful it's make me fell peaceful and happy :D

[k14ce2002]

@marinelovesuperman

Thanks a lot!
