Rain Dance -- Michael Chapdelaine

[badnewsBH]

This is pretty awesome. It seems like Mr. Chapdelain changes timing and rhythm effortlessly through the song. It *feels* like rain when he's playing. Bravo. :)

[Chiffoneire]

just found him few hours ago, while watching Segovia Master Class, and i wondered what would happened to that fellow, that Segovia drove away. But now i must say, he has done it so well, he created his own style, his own tone, and very unique melody.

[tumalojim]

never been high, but i think i am now, wow

[Trcls]

Segovia drove him away from Classical music. but he's doing well on steel anyway. think of it as a blessing in disguise.

[cuddlebuttons]

--just brilliant--



[StinkySQL]

Nice piece - world needs more inovations

[GuyFDuff]

This song moves energy through my body at points. It is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this. I wish I could also study with him.

[countroshculla]

Just superb!

[stopgomofo]

1 10 took my breath away. Im studying with Mr. Chapdelain.

[bluesbassdad]

Amazing! Beautiful!  Lyrical! Evocative! Enchanting!

I've never visited a native American community, but now I feel as though I have.

[merkywave]

mICHAEL is not only great he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet!

[gitarankara]

I wish that he didnt meet Segovia, so He could be the best classical guitarist in the worl.

[Mr9LM]

I'M high and this feels like sex

[braingloop]

just one of those talents you...can't stop listening to

[RollMastR]

If you like this stuff then just listen to windham hill recordings. Idk if hes singed to them but he sounds all new age. Hes really good at like some of the harmonics he does.

Super cool

[dainismichel]

wonderful!

[SilencioX926]

One of my favorite songs by him. He's got such talent...a true artist.

I'm trying to learn, anyone know how he accents and plays with right hand at the same time?

[Yuck46]

ill style

[van1976]

Never heard of him--but I HEARD of him now. Great!

[poofypot]

overwhelmingly incredible! HEY PISSANT GO PISSOFF! you ignorant person who has no reason to say that this is crap when you have no idea how to even enjoy this type of music and im a freakin metal head rock n roller so until you can actually appreciate this kind of music, keep your words of discouragement to yourself you self-pretentios bastard

[anoreo]

umm aren't those words of discouragement you are providing to him?... I agree, but your statement's message contradicts it's own message.

[bopatoonie]

i just dont like the quick changes that are unexpected that throw me off

[bandbsmom]

wonderful to listen to this cloudy monday mornin..can smell the rain and hear the thunder..good sleepin weather and im listenin to you..thanks;) hugs shelly

[liamydan]

JUST BRILLIANT

[guevaraul5]

Pure art.

[tomasheavymetal]

awesome man.........

[JesseGuitar07]

amazing

[bobskins808]

wow! just what i was in the mood for having randomly just typed 'raindance' for no real reason here on youtube

[chrisperdue]

Crimminy! Impressive.

[ge0y]

Amazing!!!!

[dulcajack]

This guy is a true master.

Thanks

jack

[TaCoSrOkMe]

thats brilliant

[Shochen]

I know it would not sound too good...but could you try play a couple of your songs on an electric guitar...just saying...might sound good...never know..

[clubsandwedge]

Segovia?

[cpchro]

Sick

[berrygoodstuff]

Michael, make it rain in the South East! We need it seriously. Beautiful playing btw.

[agentpissant42]

It's technically impressive, but incredibly boring musically. Try Don Ross or Michael Hedges, they know how to play good music.

[evilduckee1]

I agree he's fucking amazing at guitar and his skill probably beats his songwriting, but this is a pretty nice song. It is defintly not boring to listen to.

[agentpissant42]

Sorry man. This one just doesn't get me. Some the musical ideas he comes across in this song are interesting, but on a whole this song is just very bland. It's not like it's not an impressive display, it just lacks anything musically unique. Seriously, Michael Hedges - Funky Avocado; you will not be disappointed.

[skeasor]

You must not understand that this guy is a world class guitarist. One of the best new classical artists.

[agentpissant42]

Sorry man, his reputation doesn't matter to me. He hasn't shown me yet that he can back up what everyone says about him. Perhaps there is a reason, but this doesn't sell anything to me. This song is just plain boring.

[s40ward]

The mere fact you think you hear this kind of music from "coffee house players" all the time shows you have no appreciation or understanding for the depth of what this man is doing. I don't necessarily even like all the runs he does with this..but it's most likely far closer to perfection than you will ever achieve.

[jargenlink]

your suffering from some kind of brain washing to make a statement like that shows me you have lead a sheltered life unable to see beyond your 4 walls my dear friend get yourself a life and become unwashed you fool

[SteveFeces]

fucking ownage. fuck you peartfan2006, thats it. how could a rush fan hate such a good song. fuck you.

rock on michael chapdelianie fuck the haters~

[Meursault86]

You can tell he's very skilled but the improve kind of made me use interest. Just my opinion though.

[RubiRubsen]

Every1 who says that this is easy n cheap.... fugg off ... it is damn hard to play like that and i am playing 10yrs now ... Michael - Keep Going , you're the best

[Graysonsoares]

one man show!

[Rollz123]

that was amazing. Michael Chapdelaine is inspirational

[SteveFeces]

wow amazing

[theoden707]

Chapdelaine is a genius! hope all is well man, love your music brother. Too bad Stetson is no more...

[Abasudika]

That really is cool. Playing the guitar like that must take years of practice. I wanna learn! =:)

[chuinilee]

wow! I love it so much.

[clubsandwedge]

pretty cool, Check out my videos

[reservoir]

tu eres tonto

[awjesss]

this is GOOD!!!

[Convisis]

just loved that. cheers

[cableguy211211]

all your videos were great! knocked me out

[lahuretz]

agreed with billy 1496... am sure his speed variations are all intentional

[OpenEyeComa]

his intentions are shit then..........

[billy1496]

i think he knew at which speed he was playing at and altered it at different points to reflect the mood and tone of the music

[poptoprubber]

koosty

[GulfSouthGene]

Michael...I can appreciate the skill you show on a Guitar since I practice to play one, but you can actually really play one, very impressive!

[MrDestaz]

Mr chapdelaine is Great !!

if you like his style check out "Raul Midon" to !!

[kingdayploh]

Wow, that song was full of awesome progressions. guys like him make me glad to be a guitarist.

[wordserver]

i went to a summer arts program that had him as a guest... guy is awesome.. especially his transcriptions of old motown songs

[melanparise]

I think I just found a new guitar hero! This guy is amazing!

[MELySMAX]

[Maistre]

It's a secret that only I know. Give me one million dollars and I'll...think about it. Okay, it's www.michaelchapdelaine.com . It's there, somewhere.
