[Ethenetguru1]

I have listened to many covers of this track, yours is by far the most accurate, harmonic and truly beautiful sound i have heard yet. You are blessed as a guitarist ! I only hope i can emulate your skills with enough practice. :-)

[Echeniqueland]

It sounds beautiful!!! I was trying to play this in my guitar but no even closer to your cover. Incredible!!! I'll keep practicing!!! thanks!!

[Optimistka8]

Beautiful sound, I want to listen and listen!))

[TheSynyster1996]

[charlesomega23]

You should make a lesson for this, ive been looking on youtube and cant find one. All the lessons on youtube are just chords, help me out?

[Ultrajuiced]

Hey, gibt's da auch irgendwo Tabs dafür?

[HanzP]

@Ultrajuiced Klar, bei Ulli, denk ich!

[keksdonner]

@Ultrajuiced findest tabs bei ultimate guitar ;) da hab ich sie jedenfalls her^^

[luffaregb]

Is it standard tuning?

[HanzP]

@luffaregb It's dropped D!

[luffaregb]

@HanzP Aaa Thanks! ;-)

[EthanRounds]

Great job! I found some sheets that sounded a lot like how you transcribed it, and after learning it, posted it on my channel. I'm glad that I finally figured out who they actually came from! Keep up the great work!

[NugenProductions]

bet u couldnt sleep at night trying to learn this song

[HanzP]

@NugenProductions ... I slept very well, it wasn't too hard to learn! ;-))

[bennybmusic1]

[HanzP]

@bennybmusic1 Vielen Dank für die Blumen, aber mein Name ist Hansel ;-)))

[tur3550]

Great job! I always remember of Donnie Darko when I listen to this song...

[marvinbelke]

Ha, ich kann's jetzt auch :D

...aber natürlich nicht so gut wie du ;)

[Mohaamadq]

[HanzP]

@Mohaamadq Just ask Ulli Bögershausen. Perhaps he will send it to you!

[guzziman96]

[honeyjo96]

I love this song!! (:

[FastWieJesus]

We have the same capo uraaa :D

[sintpiet]

Okeej well no prob, do you know the chords, then i could figure it out by ear..:)

[HanzP]

@sintpiet Well, it's four chords I think! Am/C/G/D (related to the capo) - tuning is Dropped D. Good luck!

[sintpiet]

Wow Hanz I overlooked this one, do you have tabs ( chords ) of this one, i'd like to give it a try:)

[HanzP]

@sintpiet Thanks a lot! I don't play this from tabs - please ask Ulli for tabs.

[Sixtiesera]

Magnificent! :)

[HanzP]

@Sixtiesera Thank you very much!

[GuitarSurfgirl1]

So beautiful!!! I want to play this so good than you!!! It's very nice... 

[HanzP]

@GuitarSurfgirl1 Thank you very much! It's kind of easy, try!

[Baydy]

schönes lied.

[gazzo45]

Very, very nice.

[HanzP]

@gazzo45 Thank you very much!

[stovepipe1985]

thank you Hanz the name ulli bogershausen helped me find this version via google.

[stovepipe1985]

HanzP where can I find the notation for what you are playing on guitar. I know the song but haven't found anything close to this online as far as tab or standard notation.

[HanzP]

@stovepipe1985 Well, there must be lots of tabs of this arrangement in the internet, just google. But the best way will be to contact Ulli Bögershausen. I think, he'll send them to you. An even better way is to learn it by ear and eye - just try.

-Hanz

[totorohelmet]

You really accentuated out the best of the arrangement. Masterful playing.

[HanzP]

@totorohelmet Thank you very much! That's a great compliment!

[Baumschmuser09]

awesome!

[HanzP]

@Baumschmuser09 Thank you!

[0ldfinger]

I really like this - so faithful to the song; you captured it perfectly!

[HanzP]

@0ldfinger Thank you very much!

[koohar]

nice!! VERY nice!!! love it!

[HanzP]

@koohar Thank you very much!

[MrMeedies]

amazing. you take time to reply to pepole. great gutair playing

[HanzP]

@MrMeedies Thank you very much!

I try to reply but it's slightly becoming a full-time job! ;-))

[tom050162]

wow that sounds really good and what strings do you use elixir/????

[HanzP]

@tom050162 Thank you! Yes, mostly I play Elixir strings, sometimes D'Addario.

[ebarnes419]

very very good!

[HanzP]

@ebarnes419 Thank you very much!

[666pillepalle]

[HanzP]

@666pillepalle THANK YOU! You can get tabs from Ulli!

[NorebanTunes]

Good, very good!

[HanzP]

@NorebanTunes Thank you!

[MsShanwolf]

AMAZING performance.... beautiful sound.  Fantastic arrangement. Bravo!

[HanzP]

@MsShanwolf

Thank you very much!

[klopare036]

love it:)

where do i find tabs?

[HanzP]

@klopare036 Thank you! I think there are many tabs in the internet!

[guitarflo123]

@klopare036 You can find tabs at my cover of this song ;)

And on the video; really nice cover! The way you play with you thumb is awesome!

[JChazU]

This is one of the best fingerstyle arrangements I've seen on here. Awesome!

[HanzP]

@JChazU Thank you!

The arrangement is by Ulli Bögershausen, a German guitarist.

[Tsaips]

I don't suppose you could do a lesson on this?

[HanzP]

@Tsaips I think the video is more or less a "How to play ..." and along with tabs you should be able to learn the song. It's not very hard to play but it's much fun!

[JChazU]

@HanzP Agreed! I've only been playing for a little over a year but with tabs I was able to play through the song with a few mistakes within a day. Now it's just time to practice!

[Velvet4U]

Beautiful  !!!

[HanzP]

@Velvet4U Thank you very much!

[stephanhamel]

Beautiful!  I will try to learn as well.

[HanzP]

Thank you very much! Yeah do it, it's fun to play!

Greets, Hanz

[doctoroctava]

Greetings from Chile. I really enjoyed your channel. You can certainly play nice song arrangements, some of them are yours? Congrats! If you find the time visit my channel, I'm also a fingerstylist and I play my own compositions.

Cheers

[HanzP]

Thank you very much! I'm going to check out your channel!

Greetings from Germany

Hanz

[NoMoreFoolsNow]

HanzP, I asked of Peo and I like to ask you - can you play Yiruma's River Flows in You?

[HanzP]

I listened to the song (didn't know it before) but there are some guitar versions already on YT. Maybe if I find the time!

[Alywillz]

Beautifully played, am currently trying to learn this arrangement. Sehr gut. Is it a Lakewood you play?

[HanzP]

Thank you very much! Yes, it's a Lakewood M18-CP.

Greetings from Germany

Hansel

[maximumhate666]

Sehr schön gespielt. Zu deiner M-18 CP. Du hast aber Custom Veränderungen oder? In der gelisteten Version bei Lakewood sieht sie farblich anders aus und ist matt.

[HanzP]

Vielen Dank! Ja, es ist 'ne Custom aber trotzdem von der Stange (bei Musik-Produktiv gekauft). Keine Ahnung, was daran Custom ist. ;-))) Decke: Fichte; Boden, Zargen, Rosette: Ovankol; Hals: Mahagoni; Griffbrett und Steg: Ebenholz; Lackierung: Hochglanz, PickUp: Scheiss B-Band!;-(((

Das sie farblich anders aussieht, können auch die 5 Jahre hartes Spiel bewirkt haben. Die Gitarre war quasi nie im Koffer. Ist ja auch ein Arbeitsgerät und will benutzt werden.

Liebe Grüße

Hansel

[maximumhate666]

Der Klang zählt ja ;) Danke für die rasche Antwort, ich stöbere mal weiter in deinen Stücken und freue mich auf mehr.

[7761864]

Absolutely brilliant Hansel. You make it look so easy.

[HanzP]

Thank you! It is kind of easy! ;-)))

[guitarm1gu3]

wow!! you're incredible!!

great song! I like this song and it songs goos only with guitar.

so I only have a question: do u have any tabs or something, I'd like to learn it

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[sersanm2]

You play guitar very well!!!! I'm trying play this song, but i can't see how you play the song. Please, can you send me the tablature for this song?

Thanks.

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[andrewmcg100]

hello, i am a huge fan of your arrangements and was wondering if you had any tabs. it will help me with my music performance exams. thanks

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[stringman44]

Hi Hanz could you tell what model of lakewood your using it sounds fab

[HanzP]

Thanks, it's a Lakewood M18-CP with solid Ovancol back and sides and solid spruce top!

It's a nice one!

[garrethdavis]

brilliant

[HanzP]

Thank you!

[D0ug16]

Es freut mich sehr, dies Video finden. Spielst du Klassik Gitarre? Leibe vor Kanada.

Es tut mir Leid, ich kann nicht sehr gut auf Deutsche sprechen.

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot Doug! No, I'm not a classical guitar-player, more a self-taught folk-musician.

Best wishes

Hansel

[AndyLeece]

thats amazin i love it what tunin is it standard or dropped d

[HanzP]

Hi Andy, thank you very much! You're right, it's dropped D!

[Headbanger433]

This is an amazing arrangement i only ever really heard this song on the radio but this really opened my eyes to it. Do you happen to have a tab? It would be most appreciated.

Cheers

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[nsbjsn]

awesome

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot!

[sockenfrank]

klasse.

kannte ich gar nicht.

[HanzP]

Vielen Dank!

[68kira]

mate i'm a huge Donnie Darko fan, and thats where i first heard Gary Jules version... and i love it.. and i love yours.. top shelf mate.

[HanzP]

What should I say? ....... thanks, thanks, thanks ;-))))

I really appreciate your comments!

Cheers

Hansel

[Explosionsgefahr]

Saubere Sache ... ich könnte mich in den Korpus der Gitarre legen und stundenlang zuhören ... einfach Wahnsinn so ruhig und flüssig ... mir fehlen die Worte . ich hoffe ich bin eines Tages auch soweit und behersche das Lied wie Sie. Danke

[HanzP]

Vielen Dank für den tollen Kommentar! Und was das Spielen betrifft - einfach dranbleiben und nicht aufgeben!

Hansel

[GlenAnne99]

Very lovely :) You know, this song, even without the lyrics, has such a lonely and haunting feel to it. The melody is beautiful and your guitar sounds perfect.

5***** and more :)

[HanzP]

Hi Annie, thanks for this wonderful comment - always appreciated - and of course the stars.

All the best for you

Hansel

[RoL4ndInHo]

wunderschön ...

[HanzP]

dankeschön ...

[AaronHartwell]

Wow! Another awesome song! Nice!!!

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot, Aaron!

[AaronHartwell]

Can't get enough of this one. I've listened to it a dozen or so times. :)

[HanzP]

That means you like it! Thanks!

[AaronHartwell]

I do! I've been trying different versions of tab and none sound as good.  Would you mind sharing? :)

[MikeyTd00d]

ok calm down there. lol

[ratta19]

just a little agitated there buddy. But it's cool. haha

[ap55mp]

That was the first video response to Ulli's original that was as good if not better than his - wonderful technique!

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot for your compliment! I'm happy that you like my version!

Cheers

Hansel

[Trishonutube]

wow...the words just aren't there to tell you

how amazing this is. i can only appreciate the music and let you know how much i enjoyed it. you have talent....

[HanzP]

Hi Trish,

thank you very much! I'm really pleased that you like interpretation!

Greets from Germany

Hansel

[Anarion18]

Very well done! And very beautiful guitar you have there!

5/5

[HanzP]

Thank you very much. Yes, it's a good guitar built by German luthier Martin Seeliger, "Lakewood".

Greetings

Hansel

[MoahnahLivs]

Beautiful sound! Flawless!

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[TimUpson]

Hey is super, ausser dass Ulli das Lied mit dem Capo auf dem 7. Bund spielt. Daher is das ganze wohln bissel verschoben. :)

[HanzP]

Vielen Dank!

Ob 7., 8., 5., oder 6. Bund - das Stückchen klingt überall ganz gut. Kapo im 8. Bund entspricht der Originaltonart - deswegen. Zu dem Zeitpunkt, als ich es mir rausgehört habe (von Sungha) kannte ich Ullis Version noch gar nicht.

Alles Gute

Hansel

[Fusionartist202]

So that is how it is supposed to be played!

Great Job!*****

[HanzP]

Thanks for this big compliment, Michael!

Greets, Hansel

[mitchskater]

That is amazing, this song has some sort of odd nostalgic feel for me

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot!

[MikeyTd00d]

another thing, how did you learn to play this?

[HanzP]

1st of all I knew the original songs for many years. So, I wanted to play it.

I listened to the version of Sungha Jung and watched his fingers until I knew what he's doing.

[DayStar96]

Hello Hansel.

I really like your version of this song. Did you ever get to meet Sungha and Ulli last April at the Germany concert? I hope you did.

[HanzP]

Hi DayStar,

thanks a lot! Yes, I met them in April at the concert in Roetgen/Germany and on the aftershow party at Lakewood/Roetgen. It was an amazing concert and a funny party because I met some YT-friends there, too.

All the best to you

Hansel

[MikeyTd00d]

r there 2 guitars playing... it doesnt look like your playing what is coming out of the audio

[HanzP]

Hi Mike, there' s definitely just one guitar playing. Only the close-ups were filmed afterwards. But just one Audio. ;-))

Cheers, Hansel

[MikeyTd00d]

dang.. and cool i feel special you replied to me. you have serious skill man, dont stop.

[Lio1992]

Wow very nice!

Your Lakewood had a great sound, I wish I had one like that and I could play the song as beautiful as you.

I uploaded this song too, maybe you could check it out.

It's far from perfect though]

Thanks!

[HanzP]

Thanks a lot! I'll check out your video.

Cheers

Hansel

[MatusMihely]

[HanzP]

Thank you very much!

[Ullarobinlilly]

[HanzP]

Hi Karla,

herzlichen Dank!

LG Hansel

[jimmymac30]

Excellent rendition. This song is getting renewed interest in the States due to American Idol contestant Adam Lambert doing a version on the show several weeks ago. Great job. Loved it.

[HanzP]

Thank you, Jim!

[christoff124]

actually it was the game gears of war that brought renewed fame to the song :P

[ACW4yn3]

Hey

schön gespielt, würde es auch spielen wenn ich die Tabs bzw. nöten hätte.

Daumen Hoch 6 Sterne

Take Care, greetings from michi living in bristol but originally from germany

[HanzP]

Hi Mitchie,

[HanzP]

Thank you for your nice comment!

Greetings from Germany

Hansel

[Geerafferman]

Screw that man, I want to meet you! This was absolutely perfect. I wanted to play this song too but changing from standard tuning to dropped D is quite bothersome after a while... But yeah great performance, I hope to hear more from you soon! *subscribes* ^_^

[HanzP]

Thank you!
