Hi again (I already signed in another video). Are you by any chance a psychologist? I don't know why but you look like one.

[shomu06]

I love your Beatles work. Could you try giving She's Leaving Home a try??? Thanks

[violeirosurbanos]

It's always a great pleasure to hear you, Tony! Your new video is very special.

One more time: thanks for sharing your sensitivity!

All thumbs up and greetings from your brazilian's friends!

[tatypalmi]

Bravo. Muy bien. Very good. Thanks.

[jonathanratcliffe]

been watching all your videos for a while now tony, would love to see some John Martyn songs up!

[troubleclef]

@jonathanratcliffe

thanks. I haven't listened much to him. Can you recommend a specific album or two?

[jonathanratcliffe]

@troubleclef It would be my honour to introduce you to John Martyn! Solid Air and London Conversation are probably a good place to start. Have a listen the the songs "may you never", "the easy blues", or "tree green", if you want to that is!

[tragnilrats]

Bravo....been a while...very nice! Happy New Year !!

[ahmed341]

Nice playing, my man --)

[feracat07]

I had serious doubts about this when I first read Alvin and his mates. And Tony you pulled it off brilliantly. Excellent my friend truely wonderful. Merry Christmas Mate and All the best for 2011.

Lynn From Scotland

[troubleclef]

@feracat07

thanks, Lynn. You mean Alvin and the boys aren't as big a smash in the UK as they are stateside? I thought they were truly global by now!

Cheers. Happy New Year.

[GuitarStevO]

[troubleclef]

@markskywalker71

thanks. Buon Natale!

[jugolinija]

Como sempre, muito admirável.!

[newporter42]

Listened in awe to your fine rendering on the guitar. Bravo ! I had forgotten the details you gave in your description of the "Pet Sounds" trail, but seem to recall one of the parties calling the other "a real nut job." Thanks for some fine entertainment !

[Iplaybassnaked21]

Beautiful..

do you tune standard for most of your recordings? besides open chorded ones

[troubleclef]

@Iplaybassnaked21

typically, yeah. but really depends on the tune

[imdanhoover]

very nice tony,merry christmas..

[LAINIE612]

Thanks Tony, " ALVIN !!!! " This took me back some years, wow what a great feeling Have a very Merry Christmas my friend. God Bless you.

[jraqp58]

beautiful song, I never heard that. As usually well performed. I think the final is so strong. Troublecef, from Perú... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[smokinpoolshark420]

Awesome! I remember you did "The Grinch" last year.

Merry Christmas!

[catalin2402]

Awsome ! Merry Christmas !

[PAULGODVIN]

ANTHONY....I'm reminded of 'AAAAAALLLLLVIIINNNNNNN ! lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR ...... Paul Godvin

[torisand]

Elegant!! Thank you!

[lenskap]

Beautiful! It might have been more authentic had you recorded it an octave lower at half speed, and played it back at normal speed. I'm not a critic, I'm a smartass!

Merry Christmas and I hope you get that hula hoop.

[troubleclef]

@lenskap

thanks. Yeah, i'll have to figure out how to do that in garageband. it would sound pretty cool actually.

cheers. have a happy one.

[mart1nsm1th]

Whatever about chipmunks it's more like polar bears we're having

this side of the ocean with all the snow about.Time to hibernate to

the sound of your melodious incantantation.A very happy Christmas

Tony and looking forward to your future guitar spells!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

That's a beautiful walz, Toni! My children love that film ... I must admit, I like your version much more than the petsound ... but who cares!? It was a big hit.

My best Christmas wishes to you and yours, a wonderful start in the New Year 2011 !!!

~Bernd

[troubleclef]

@BoeckmannLudwig

thanks, Bernd. I haven't seen the later movies, just the old cartoon. not sure when or why I saw those either! :D but I was a kid who liked anything animated. like most of us I guess. cheers. Happy Christmas time to you too.

[KasugaD400]

Of course i like it!

wish you a merry christmas

Werner

[jorggomes2]

great and beautiful arrangement ... Merry Christmans

[theivory1]

Very Nice. My kids have watched the movies repeatedly over the last two Christmas seasons. I keep sitting down to learn this on the piano but guess what, those same kids interrupt me! I will learn it someday.

[troubleclef]

@theivory1

thanks. get those kids practicing, then you can interrupt them! :D

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

Great one! Merry Christmas from Weeping Zee Guitars!

[PB11784]

Very Merry Christmas to you as well. Additionally, it is very clever of you to hedge your statement as "arguably the Chipmunks biggest hit", you sure don't want the YouTube mass to start that debate...again. However, you may have stirred the pot (intentionally?) with your flat out Theodore bias. I'm just saying....  Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year! PB

[troubleclef]

@PB11784

Simon used those glasses just to LOOK smart. But everyone knows he was just the pretty boy of the outfit.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

[pizaa007]

very nice!

[Quixotic1018]

AAAAAALLLLLLVVVVVIIIIIIIINNNNN­NNN!!!!!!

[troubleclef]

@Quixotic1018

OK!!!

[Dejital]

Love the description AND the arrangement! :) I want a hula-hoop!!

[troubleclef]

@Dejital

yeah, what ever happened to those? thanks.

[kbaronshaffer]

very fun! bravo!

[6672rock]

Sounded spot-on as usual. Can I make a request for a couple of Burl Ives tunes? I'd like to hear your versions of "A Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Silver And Gold".

[troubleclef]

@6672rock

I like a little touch of Burl in the night. I might do "Pearly Shells" sometime. love that song. cheers.

[m2xvdXfs]

Thanks for the beautiful arrangement Tony. This song has been on my mind the past few weeks with me trying out several ideas. This is the way it should be played on guitar!!!!!

[troubleclef]

@m2xvdXfs

thanks. Merry Christmas

[ddanze]

Great arrangement!

[van1976]

Cute. Fun song. I love the opening....and ending. Nicely done. Good ear. I did a version a couple years ago (Christmas Fake Book--key of C). I also did my  own "Goldman Sachs Christmas" (sung to this melody) last Christmas, ck it out ... I thought it funny...and....

5 Merrry Christmas *****

Hi Tony. I am in New York waiting for my connecting flight to Miami right now. Listening to you is the perfect way to "kill" some hours at the airport. Thank you! Great arrangement. Happy holidays and I wish you a happy, musically and prosperous 2011. Per
