[TheMakemFolksinger]

[LucianBelmau]

This was my first favorite video on youtube, in 2008. I have never regretted such a choice.

[OneThousandWorlds]

Very beautiful, I can smell the dusk and dawn on this, feel warmth on my face and the air all around me, thanks for this song

[anandmufc]

" As I gazed up towards the hills they caught fire. For about a minute the hills glowed in the most spectacular shades of red. "

The world needs more people like you today, who play from the heart.

Thank you for the amazing music, good sir.

[HannesPowerLoad]

AMAZING .. FRro the heart

[bradn7]

[valinskaya]

172 people are deaf and they are probably so mad at the rest of us for beeing able to hear Staffan !

[xXxCrossoveRxXx]

the smile at the end...kinda magic

[ob1ob123]

love your style

[TheFiscster510]

Freaking amazing. My dad actually has that same guitar. Its some sort of an ovation. He has had it for years. I love it.

[TheAlexis018]

eccellente!!!

[VannMan826]

Very beautiful

[Polyfusia]

Reminds me of Nick Drake. Also a great advertisement for this mic.

[zwe2]

wow. Very relaxing

[BreakNeckTurtle]

Amazing, keep doing what you doing man!

[maileymorgan]

This sounds amazing!

[GuitarFosse]

Wow, this is really good!

[tycoles]

excellent song-writing. Very inspiring. I'm also very impressed at the sound you're able to get out of the snowball mic. I have one on the way and can only hope I can get as good of sound as you!

[staffansvahn]

@tycoles Thank you for your kind words. I think you will be very happy with the mic.

best wishes

Staffan

[braaaainz]

how can anyone dislike this song?! this is awesome stuff! 

[nickpadge4848]

amazing

[TheHolty10]

Hi staffan, beautiful finger style mate, very uplifting and relaxing, you get a thumbs up from me, could you give me a bit of advice on how to get some sort of echo/delay on my vocal? I have a blue snowball and need to know if i need some sort of software to do this? All i want to be able to do is play guitar and sing at the same time add echo and upload it to youtube, any advice would be greatly appreciated, Tony.

[droid740]

The best usage and technique in front of the blue that I've seen. I've used a condenser with Phantom power and had to turn it way down just to get a tone I could work with. I like the blue because it's pretty great for voice and instruments. As you can see with Staffan here, if you know mic technique and play properly, it is a very great instrument mic.

[mikusss1986]

I'd love to have some of your playing on my ipod, really I would.

Sounds really amazing :)

[DorkasKinGG]

YOU ARE MY HERO

[kleydj13]

Very beautiful. I love it.

[ThePeruviank1ng]

so would it be possible to make a video lesson of some ideas on how to make music like yours. i just want that kind of power in my hands to play like you.

[su6a8i]

Beautiful. There's nothing more I can say.

[ironmonger100]

Like nothing I've heard before, quite original, quite beautiful. thanks staffan, bless you.

[weakfingers]

Very nice! I'm thinking of buying that microphone, actually :)

[TheBananahKing]

You inspire me.

[juanzei]

[TheMattist]

wow the blue snowball is very good

[piperboy350]

i would marry u but im a straight male... lol

[alexcaspu]

es realmente increble!!!! me encanta

[acousticorexxx]

Great playing!

But I have a question, I am thinking of buying a usb mic for recording acoustic guitar and voice, do you recommend it?

And how did you set the mic up on the mic stand?

Thanxs

[match417]

acousticorexxx,

yes! buy it, I have one and I absolutely love it, I paid close to $200 for it when it first came out and it was still worth the money, now it's cheaper.

[amritManhas]

He is using the Bluemic Snowball, I use it too and its great. Check out some of my videos if you want to hear its quality.

Hope this helps.

[Shumooshi]

so the hill was on fire and you were staring at it for about a minuet ?? I dont get that although i love your fingerpicking talent. its uncredible.

[dmanfromm]

It was a metaphor.

[espltd2288]

[isaiah352]

Great sound! I love the tone of your Guitar.

[ajay54321]

He is very good at guitar. Especially at his older age. Most old people arent too good at guitar.

[antiquesroadshow101]

What? Why would you say that? Look at the reunion concerts for classic bands like The Who, they're still kickin' man. Plus Charo is getting up there in age, and look at her.

=]

[gutlover77]

[whynotwatchem]

melodic journey

[ZiemowitBucko]

as it is my favorite of your videos i decided to put a comment here:) i very like your playing, especially as you play your own pieces, not many musicians can say such thing about themselves. your melodies may seem simple and naive, but they sound in my heart. nice to see you getting better and better. too bad you have picked acoustic guitar, i prefer classic sound. even though, i'm amazed. warmest regards

[o0EmmAngel0o]

perfect !

[Carlitos419]

fantastic!! soo soothing. i love it!

[ginopopoloi]

AMAZING! :D
