Maneli Jamal - Movement I - Norym (2009)

[gman4098]

When i listen to this I think how can someone do that!! Maneli you have4 inspired me to move into an experimental hybrid style like yours. I'm 15 and my teacher says I can pull it off> any tips or nice chords to use in my pieces??

[MassWisdom]

O_O

[gman4098]

what tuning is this?

[Retargi]

you make me go completely crazy!

[Retargi]

just can´t stop smiling :)))))))

great work, keep on!

[Puqpetmaster]

dont know what to say ... insanely good ... never stop making music, your just to good

[mrbigbigify]

When you sent me a link to your video, at first I was like,"MORE spam? MORE attention-whores?". Then, of course I watched, and was blown away by your video. The more I watch the more I get addicted to your music. Please never stop making music!

[HenriquePresuntin]

Sounds like Twisens Odisseys song '-'

[tatry13]

Maneli a world-class virtuoso

"Control has many faces,

and artist are among it's most faithful servants. To speak of this is not to speak about art, but only the PERSUASIVE TACTICS of art-it effects, and the TRANSFORMATIONS it causes in the RECEIVER."

[SuperRambo111]

Maneli... I don't know what to say.

Your work has this sparkle that all work needs to be successful. And this applies to all of your songs. All are truly amazing and all are true master pieces. I love what you do and don't stop doing it. You are one of my two idols and inspirations. Thanks so much! I hope to see more work coming soon!

[maneli]

@SuperRambo111 Thanks a lot for the kind words, whos your other idol?

[SuperRambo111]

@maneli It's Antoine Dufour. He was the first fingerstyle guitarist that I've discovered. I love his music and he influenced me to play guitar :)

[GiacoX]

i have to say... i never heard such a great demostration of felling+soul+tecnique this is not music man... this is far beyond all the culture and art improvements and im not speaking just for this particulary one is all your work... is Inspiring!! keep the hard work mate!! god bless you!!

[maneli]

@GiacoX Thank you very much!

[leonidas2494]

[nishikigoi808]

Antoine Dufour is my favorite. Your hella amazing as well.

[aquariusNacuario]

Man, this movement is one of my favorites!



[maneli]

@aquariusNacuario Thanks a lot!

[ninjaquest]

I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting much, the message I got read a bit like spam, but I'm so far really enjoying your work. Looking forward to hearing more!

[maneli]

@ninjaquest Thanks! Enjoy the rest :)

[karensmora]

wow!!!!!!!!! is amazing ;)

[maneli]

@karensmora Cheers!

[jbelgian13]

Absolutely blown away by your work; I mean, wow. Literally, wow; so much more feeling in your work then anything I've seen, feels like it means so much, keep it up man (:

[maneli]

[ForsakenGod23]

Canadian Immigration Officer : Ok , let me see...profession ? guitar god ?......Accepted in Canada right away

[maneli]

@ForsakenGod23 I wish it were that easy :)

[subtonicmusic]

[maneli]

@subtonicmusic Thanks a lot!

[fechi5]

55688 views and this guy is still answering stupid comments! he's talented and humble, you sir are the only man I'd have sex with.

[maneli]

@fechi5 yup :)

[HaythemMohamed]

This is great. Tuning?

[bk41190]

what kind of taylor is that?

[maneli]

@bk41190 814ce limited edition 2006

[Bradbssargdons]

movement I II and III are still my faves, absolutely beautiful

[maneli]

@Bradbssargdons awesome!

[Jessehz]

7 people don't like good music.

[parwous]

Please donate a sample of your brain or put it on sale. I'll be the one to buy it if that implant will make me play like this.

[maneli]

@parwous Let me think about that one... :)

[dillydallying1]

Meh, I guess that "okay".

[maneli]

@dillydallying1 Thanks Robin :)

[WataponArmz]

Who ever disliked this *tisk *tisk* you're strange to me :s

[EBE246]

You know that feature video u got, lucid drawl also sounds good.

[maneli]

@EBE246 Thank you :)

[EBE246]

Awesome dude, i found you from one of your youtube friends, watch?v=jdxvxuZFBRc,

This song, and Javun are the ones i heard and i really like this one more, this song movement 1 norym is my favorite, well done.

[maneli]

@EBE246 Thanks a lot!

[MrBipulpandey]

Your music, I must say, is full of life!!! Very beautiful composition and impeccable execution!!

[babiestav]

i would give crazy money to be taught by you:)

[maneli]

@babiestav Give me a million and I'll cut off my arms for you.

[20GuitarZero07]

@maneli And not be able to hear you play anymore? No way dude...priceless!

[Lighttkun]

@maneli dude, u have divine arms, if i were u, i would never cut my arms not even for all money in the world :)

[kissofdeathisraja]

@maneli more than those insane hands, i want to know how you "think".. do u just know the music in ur head, or how does your songwriting process go?

for musically less skilled people like me, it is literally unimaginable how you go all over the fretboard for notes :O

[rocker9904]

@maneli WOW. that's impressive :) but alas, the main issue i see with this statement: you're married, if anyone watches left hands anymore :P couldn't not being able to wear a wedding ring prove somewhat problematic for you???

[maneli]

@rocker9904 Haha I was engaged but not anymore so its all good

[Bradbssargdons]

@babiestav you can learn guitar as well as anyone all by yourself. all it takes is time and commitment

[haykikos]

7 people are too slow to move

[treiaskaterboyz]

stunning... no more words needed :)... your music is simply amazing and so full of feeling... i love it <3.. keep on rocking, dude

[maneli]

@treiaskaterboyz Thanks a lot!

[Jefafa824]

Hey, thanks so much for sending me that message on youtube. So glad I got to discover your music. Amazing.

[maneli]

@Jefafa824 Thanks for checking it out!

[anothernord]

@Jefafa824 +1 glad I got the message. Diggin' it.

[philipmalanmusic]

Nice tune Maneli, wat tuning is it in?

[vgls1981]

You should make a soundtrack...nice music....Those speedy harmonics killed me

[maneli]

@vgls1981 Thanks a lot!

[dandypajamas]

I wish all the Youtube messages I received were from talented peeps like you man. Good work

[DanielleT192]

It's amazing how sound could portray your feeling for something. My guess is that you've tried to portray how moving has affected you and the way it felt through moving to 3 different places. I would love to know the true meaning behind these compositions though :)

[maneli]

@DanielleT192 Very well described but this movement is not about that. The new CD actually has your description as the underlying theme for The Lamaj Movement... moving from place to place constantly under pressure.

[TheClownWalkaa]

idk speechless.. this is really really good^^ guitargod :-)

[HT3R21]

ohh actually dont worry i just read your info :D

[HT3R21]

what nationality are you?

[princeSENK]

perfect...love it!!!!

[saedt]

i'd buy your album if it costs me a leg, you're quite the artist, good sir.

[maneli]

@saedt Thanks a lot! I do offer to sign it if its coming from my website :)

[FlockOfChickens]

@maneli

Oh man, when I get paid Friday I'm so holding you to that : )

[snackajack117]

RPoland get involved with this guy!

[FlockOfChickens]

I love your music!

Hopefully I see an album of yours in my music store someday, so I can happily give you my money.

[maneli]

@FlockOfChickens Thanks! You can get in iTunes and Amazon or on my website. Soon soon in the stores :)

[TriviumFan15]

Honestly I dont think you need candyrat, or any other record label for that matter. You're such a talented artist you can do just fine without a record deal. Good job man, keep playing that beautiful music!

[maneli]

@TriviumFan15 Hehe, the exposure wouldn't hurt me :)

[akkaadadimana]

i wonder what's 'norym' means

[mymeryir]

O0O0O0OMMMMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!....YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY GREAAAAAAAAAATTTT MANELI I M SO0O0O0O PROUD OF YOU AS A PERSIAN....... <3 BEST EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRR <3 JUST LOVE YOUR WORKS.... <3

[maneli]

@mymeryir Thanks!!

[Zakksback17]

Respect dude. Nicely done

[Ike1023]

This is probably one of my favorite songs I seen you perform. You truly are an original acoustic musician.

[maneli]

@Ike1023 Thanks!

[jbswcacmbc]

amazing music Maneli. Are you a fan of Michael Hedges?

[maneli]

@jbswcacmbc A little bit, i respect him.

[fatzo78]

gratulations, you made it!

yet my favourite part is from 2:05 to 2:33

[eikik1]

Maneli there's no point in making tabs when nobody else can play it. haha

[maneli]

@eikik1 Haha good one. Gotta leave the option available :)

[eikik1]

@eikik1 :)

[Bzoargh]

Best movement! 

[PeeGii]

i absolutly love this. I always dream when I am listening you. I can feel a song behind this track. so many spirit and life.

[cheekoleeko]

10$ well spent

[maneli]

@cheekoleeko Thanks for the support!

[Bradbssargdons]

That wrist tapping while fingerpicking (such as around 2:32) is incredibly hard. He has an amazing feel for where the strings are.

Bought your CD about 13 months ago abd I still absolutely love it. It will go down as one of my favorite CDs ever! Any idea of when you will release another?

[maneli]

@Bradbssargdons Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoy it. I'm planning on making a new one and have it ready by the end of the year I hope. Gotta heal up from my injury first.

[Daver869]

@maneli Injury? I'm sorry to hear that. What happened to you Jamal? =(

[MattTubeTV]

Maneli I have played finger player for 4 mouhts, do you think this song is to fast for a person that has been playing for soon 2 years? :).

Matthew

[Bradbssargdons]

@MattTubeTV I have been playing for ten years on acoustic and electric with quite a bit of fingerpicking, and this song is still intimidating to me. I think I could probably learn it but it would take awhile.

[maneli]

@Bradbssargdons It all comes down to how much and how you practice. I wrote this song after about 5 years of playing.

[Bradbssargdons]

@maneli i can agree with that, but it also is a matter of how quickly and efficiently you learn. i know some guitarists who practice every day for many years and just cannot get certain techniques down. i fall into this category soemtimes

[maneli]

@Bradbssargdons Have you thought of getting a good teacher to point out the flaws? That may help.

[whatsstandard]

@maneli see, my problem is writing...i want so bad to write music. i can learn your average song in about a day, and take another day to hammer out the kinks...about 6 hours in total. writing, however...i get a good starting idea, but that's about as far as it gets...

[QuipyGirbo]

@whatsstandard

Me too. Maybe the instructions lie somewhere in music theory?

[whatsstandard]

@QuipyGirbo eh, i've taken a bunch of music theory and will continue to (i'm a music major, but not in guitar) so i have a decent grounding in that. maybe it's just a skill that some have and others don't.

[maneli]

@MattTubeTV Probably yeah but I don't know what your skill level is so I have no idea actually.

[MattTubeTV]

@maneli Wow, You worte back! :) Thank you for writing back maneil. I really like your music, I'm ofc not at your level of playing Guitar, but I really love playing, and particular this kind of music. What one of your songs would be the most "easy" to learn if, I will burn for playing Guitar :). ?

[maneli]

@MattTubeTV I try to write back to a lot of comments but can't get to all of them. It really depends on if you'd like to get into a song with two hand tap / percussive techniques or just a straight forward fingerstyle tune. I'd recommend Morning In Adanac or Movement II- Vasat for a fingerstyle one and Cold Arrival or Movement III-Ziur for a upbeat percussive tune. I do offer skype lessons as well if you're interested in going in depth of any of the tunes / techniques.

[MattTubeTV]

@maneli I really love them all, but I think the one that I have the best chance of learning right now, wourld be Maneli Jamal - Won 1st place!! Acoustic Glory, if I understand correct it's part of the song Movement II - Vasat but I think the first part is to hard for me to learn alone? I got money for the tab but ohter ways i'm brok, so I think I will try to learn by the tabs first :). Does that sound like a good idea?

[maneli]

@MattTubeTV Sounds good, good luck!

[MattTubeTV]

@maneli Thank you :)

[Kiryu394]

dude, if i could play guitar like you, i would be doing live shows.... Maneli, i must say, you freaking rock

[Bradbssargdons]

@Kiryu394 you make more money selling CDs on YouTube than you do with live gigs. Amplitudes more. Just had an epiphany: If you think about it, musicians being on YouTube is like a worldwide gig. You come, you watch and listen, if you like it, you buy the CD, except with youtube, watching is free, and your audience is billions of people, not just a few hundred.

[QuipyGirbo]

@Bradbssargdons

But where is the audience, chanting for an encore, the mosh pit, or the explosions?

Never mind, i like you tube better.

[maneli]

@Kiryu394 Thanks! Play quite a few of them :)

[tru3m3talh3ad]

woah...

[person2954]

Hey maneli are you using an acoustic amp with that or is it just bare guitar sound?

[maneli]

@person2954 Nope just a Audio Interface and a Rode NT4 mic.

[realsavage22]

What kind of guitar you using?

[maneli]

@realsavage22 Taylor 814ce LE 2006

[bassinthepocket]

OOH! I love the harmonics at 1:00. Beautiful!

[maneli]

@bassinthepocket And they love you too.

[7donkeys]

Again awesome! Next to Michael Hedges and Andy Mckee, it seems I've found a third inspiration :)

[maneli]

@7donkeys :)

[tru3m3talh3ad]

@maneli id like to see you and andy mckee jam together :D

[roosterc0cl]

i accidently came up through your videos... and thank god. Your an inspiration. Im gonna go buy your stuff right now... Im so serious.

[zenoist2]

This guy is really talented.

excellent!

[MasterSquirrel100]

you should put up a web site that teaches us how to play all of your songs starting with this one <3

[maneli]

@MasterSquirrel100 I really do, and I will sooon.

[MasterSquirrel100]

Bro your songs are so beautiful iv dropped all songs i could ever play and im going into playing just like you...damn its crazy how beautiful it sounds, you have very crazy good talents man. your a serious pro. inspired me like hella much....im speachless right now all i can do is cry at how it sounds......keep on rocking man \m/(>_<)\m/ your a god!!!!!!!!!

[maneli]

@MasterSquirrel100 Haha thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[guitarlady46]

VERY INSPIRING.....SWEET!

[Spratcho]

What is the tuning :S Its insane how good it sounds :)

[onixtheone]

Teach me everything you know who taught you?

[maneli]

@onixtheone Self taught :)

[daj0412]

@maneli can you give me some advice for the fingerpicking? like what did you do to get there? any exercises?

[maneli]

@daj0412 experimenting and lots of reading / research

[sordicompte]

@maneli I LIKE THAT :D

[LaPriest]

your gonna be playing with the big boys real soon haha and have your face on a front of magazine haha

[maneli]

@LaPriest Yea right... I hope :)

[jkshoujk]

@maneli Fingerstyle doesn't have the recognition it deserves; we need a musical revolution! Once we have a big enough spotlight on it, then people can decide for themselves whether they like it or not :)

[maneli]

@jkshoujk Hehe great idea. Fingerstyle is definitely growing among the youth so lets see how it turns out for us.

[LanceSaunders]

@maneli you are the next internet sensation. It's truly amazing work. You found your niche :)

[zorlez]

candy rats hotter, tommy emanuel, etc,,, hurry up n catchem,, thyre faster hurry play more licks can u play fatser>???

[AcousticDreams0]

Looks to me like you're playing a dream come true.

[leatheldarkness123]

This is fricken great, but I cant help but notice that the video quality... seems... Sped up, I'm not doubting you as a guitaist, or as a player, or even the video, what I'm doubting is, did it sound good that slow? and you felt like it needed to be faster? Because I don't care how slow/fast this is. I could SLEEP to this it's so beautiful.

[jkshoujk]

@leatheldarkness123 Have you heard an audio clip that's been sped up before? It's really distorted. There's no way the sound quality could be this clear and be sped up in editing.

Let's say the video was sped up; someone had to record the audio, correct? :)

[leatheldarkness123]

@jkshoujk Yea. I guess dood. But you do see the choppyness at the beginning? Anyways. Whoever this guy is married to, is one fucking lucky person that they get to hear that all day erry day :] I'd kill for talent like that, Maybe something small like.. a lizard, or something.

[maneli]

@leatheldarkness123 Hehe feel free to search a live version of this song, its played even faster than this one!

[leatheldarkness123]

@maneli O__________O I See.

[RenosOlive433]

you are such a beast. I really enjoy listening and watching your guitar. It is really motivating for me to get better and continue to improve and work at my own guitar skills! :) Thank you!

[matttberg]

man.........this is a hell of a trick bag youre supplied with!!!!!!just by listening to this tune over and over i get all kinds of inspirations and feels from so many kinds of music......youre a whole band to yourself man!!!matter of fact i can hear the signer and the rest of the band playing it live and loud!!!!!(you know what i mean : p) everything is in there and nothing is missing.... (stunning...) anyway,keep up the good work and improvement!!!!glad you came knock at my door mate!!!

[oveemist]

brother, what tunning u playing in?

[hedefter]

I´d vote for you! Candyrat, Guitar Idol... doesn´t matter for what ;-) You play in the best league!

[bassgroove21]

there is no point picking up a guitar everyday when there are players like you. You make us guitar players proud

[eikik1]

there is no point in making tabs when only you can play it :D

[runtor1988]

This is the one of the coolest sounding acoustic songs I've heard!

I'm a big fan of dark sounding stuff such as this. Very fun to compose as well.

I unfortunately suck at playing so I'll stick with making my horrible rudimentary songs. Hahah.

Keep up the good work!

[DavidPileGuitar]

how r u not featured on rpoland yet!??!!!

[maneli]

@DavidPileGuitar Oh man... I wish... lets bug them?

[DavidPileGuitar]

@maneli agreed

keep up the awesome work and your definitely going to be featured on rpoland!

[pulseofmusic]

@maneli I tried bugging them, it was actually this track that made me use a thumb pick for the first time and a couple of days later I came up with the song on youtube called 'the chase'. Thanks for being an inspiration I also forgot what the song was called until today when it came up on youtube as suggestions for myself. You have another subscriber.

Kind regards,

Billy

[abfplano54]

@maneli you could easily be with those candyrat guys

[mcchuff]

@DavidPileGuitar haha so true. Maneli is exactly the type of guitarist that should be on candyrat records! one day!

[saedt]

@DavidPileGuitar you mean how isnt he declared as a god yet?!

[gandorrr666]

one song better than the other!^^ it´s great fun to listen to your music, because you do not only use your fingers to play but also your feelings and more, you can see that in your face either ^^

[maneli]

@gandorrr666 Hehe thanks very much. Im glad you can see the emotions in these tunes :)

[BadSensation]

this series is so intense... and beautiful! really really love it!

[maneli]

@BadSensation Many many thanks.

[doomie24]

OHH THE HARMONICS!!! SO AWESOME!!!!

[maneli]

[aliceinchives]

thank you for being you.

[alxthexkiller33]

Glad you emailled me the link to your vid. Its amazing work indeed! I do see alot of Dufour in your playing at times. Good thing tho since his my favorite other than Trace Bundy. One question tho... Will you teach me? hahaha! Ive been trying to play stuff like this for a yr now and fail...

[maneli]

@alxthexkiller33 Teach you, I will. Skype... have you? Mm.

[nandomps]

man very cool

[Niekgroot]

You should get signed by Candyrat!

@Niekgroot YESSSS! I have been waiting for that day for some time now. :D
