No doubt one of his best songs. So flawless, plus the harmony, the rythim... every bit of it clutches into the next like nothing. Definitely one of my top5 Antoine's favs.
What is it with these candyrat guitarists... they all have no sense of good melody or bass lines. And everything sounds so forced, way over practiced and contrived.
@shallowhollowbody You dont get it. Music isnt only about the "proper" structure. Its conveys concepts and feelings. Ive listened to musicians who could convey anything from joy to cold, silent rage. And you ever checked Don Ross' work? or Andy Mckee's? they are all splendid at accomplishing exactly what they set out to do. They are not trying to meet your preconceived notions about how music "should" be.
@shallowhollowbody I sort of understand your point of view, but keep in mind these are all instrumentalists. They compose the melody, rhythm (percussion), and bass all in one. They are their own band. It may sound forced, but they have to do all that AND convey a story, or feeling at the same time since there are no lyrics. Picture that for a second as a musician before you make judgment. In addition, as @DrownedGhoul said, no one makes music specifically for your tastes.
@Bcuzieatiron I agree! While it is hard to get the synchronisity (is that a word? =P ) between the right and left hand, it's considerable easier than say...to run in a dream or these moments! Great song, one of my favourites! Dufour is some musician!
We really loved the Guitar Masters concert in Lawrence, KS last month!!! Thanks to all 3 of you for coming: Antoine Dufour, Andy McKee and Stephen Bennett - all 3 signed CDs and a T-shirt for us. I keep thinking of this song often.

@fartface0469 Yeah I already know that, but that wasn't his sole purpose of composing/playing music like the lovely person who my comment is directed at refers to.
you don't need nails to pick or tap; it provides certain sound qualities ("clearer", brighter, more percussive), but it's more personal preference than anything else. I mean, my finger tips are calcified to hell, mainly because I tap a lot and chew the shit outta the skin around it. I can get warm, bassier tones, but also still can get the "tick, tick" from the percussive shell of my fingers. playing a guitar in a warm room makes dif sounds than a cold room. THAT's the kinda shit I love finding
@ledestroyer I have really soft skin on my hands and don't have barely any calcium build. . I can still get clicky percussive. It's all about your technique. If you hit the strike your finger down quickly and pop right back off very fast you can still get a lot of presence out of those taps.
@EwingPatric for sure. i love how physical things like that can inform technique sometimes. kinda like the guitarist with fake fingers (or was it hand?) from black sabbath--that crunchy, muted sound sparked a freakin genre!
@92pianist You don't need long finger nails (I think Andy McKee keeps his short and he's got pretty fat fingers...all due respect, he's one of my gods). Antoine Dufour I think uses some sort of fake nails, but don't quote me on that.
@deank88 Hey there dean! I know it's been a while since we talked ahaha
I got some tabs, and I thought you might be interested? Would you like to trade? :D I have set 2 from Antoine Dufour and Set 2 from Alex Kabasser (Check out Sungha's covers of his songs if you don't know who I'm talking about...Slababaska's my favorite) and a few others. Message me if you'd like trade some tabs!
@deank88 Do you happen to know if they sell the tabs individually? I mean, I've got no problem getting the sets, but there were some specific songs that I wanted but in different sets. I'm considering to buy set 5 (Song for stephen, 30 minutes in london, reality), but i really want Trilogy and memories of the future as well, they're just separate sets. And is this really harder than Ashes in the Sea in your opinion?
There's just something about this, DuFour. I can't help but to bop my head in rhythm whenever I listen to this, which is at least 10 times a day. GREAT tune :)
You can never truly appreciate players like Antoine until you pick up an acoustic yourself. When you realize how ridiculously hard it is then you will see how incredible this dude is.
@gtiyannick all of his tunings are on his web page, for this song going from low to high its EADGCE. Or in other words, standard tuning with the B tuned up half a step.
Genius lies in the ability to conceive. A stone mason can build an incredible structure...but the architect had to conceive it first. And here lies musical genius. Many have the technical ability to perform the music, but few have the creativity to design it. Antoine proves this..
@Asger1703 yes he wears fake nails to help the tone quality, theyre like fingerpicks but not too big, loud and cumbersome (he plays fingerstyle, and when you play that, your bare fingers is too soft of a sound, and fingerpicks are not useful for antoine's music, so he uses fake nails). many guitarists use it, including antoine, don ross, and myself. they are actually really useful; good tone quality and they feel great.
@rpoland I can't help but wonder if he wrote this song as a dedication for Stephen Bennett. He has shown a good amount of admiration for the man's work. Can anyone clarify?
@bambamm89 Yes he did. He explained in some of the live shows posted on YouTube that Stephen went through surgery (I think for his kidney's?) and he wrote this song for him.
@lilmark816 I hope you know, most decent and intelligent people aren't in the music business for the sex. I think you're confusing Antoine with Lil Wayne or some other piece of shit that you would consider to be an "artist" or "musician" because you don't have the mental capacity to think of music to be something that you merely enjoy from the heart. Please, go spread your ignorance and filth elsewhere.
@btjohnson96 dude chill he was just making a joke. jesus you really thought he was being serious? "go spread your ignorance and filth elsewhere." he was just joking about antoine's skill. we all know that antoine isn't in it for sex, that's kind of obvious. we don't need dumb people like you that bitch all the time about how a person's joke is "inappropriate" and "incorrect." so please, YOU go spread your ignorance and filth elsewhere.
@btjohnson96 I don't know if you are aware of this but Mozart was a womanizer although he loved his wife he was still in need of constant attention. But I do see your point and agree with you just wanted to shed some light into idea there.
@PabstBrownRibbon I never siad it was a hard song my friend. It sounds like a rather easy song but the whole tune down thing, now that takes some skill to get it perfectly.
@TriviumFan15 Yeah I agree it took me a while...its different on every guitar and string gauge, so you have to train your ears or know your guitar really well. There's no room for error either cause the G chord in section of the song after the retune up to E betrays you and sounds jarring if you're off by a bit. Also playing this song on nylon strung guitars is virtually impossible without rearranging it...takes like three peg turns to drop a damn step.
@abstract37 I wouldn't be so sure. These aren't his natural nails, he use fake nails for playing and probably takes them off when he goes on a date :D
it makes me sad that he gave that guitar to sebastien cloutier, i like his beauregard but that stonebridge is to my ears the best sounding acoustic i've ever heard
@GarretsShadow It's not very difficult at all, but it's written very well! You can see his classical background because of how there are basically two melodies written on top of each other.
I'm 14 and I write finger style like him.... He's so good at playing! I have a little habit of using the open strings on DADGAD but it's getting better and I'm composing one with ta
oh my god 1:57 when he tunes his bottom string down while he's playing... that's friggin amazing ive never seen anyone do that before. that takes a good ear!
Wow holy mother of pearls that was amazing i've never seen him tune before while playing AMAZING IF I HAD ONE WISH I WOULD WANT ANTOINE DUFOUR TO TEACH ME HOW TO PLAY ALL OF HIS MUSIC THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY GOOD REAL GOOD
Did that motherfucker just tune in the middle of the song? Holy fucking balls. I know some people have perfect pitch like Jimi who fought his guitar back in tune but damn talk about a transition for your song if you just wanna drop tuning
@heegohordavio The camera change when he tunes it down looks a little suspicious though you have to admit. I'm sure for the sake of the video they did stop and tune it perfectly, but that wouldn't be needed when he tunes back up because he plays the first string right after which is the same note. :p
He was great in ottawa yesterday, seems to be a pretty nice guy too

it makes me sad that he gave that guitar to sebastien cloutier, i like his beauregard but that stonebridge is to my ears the best sounding acoustic i've ever heard

@GarretsShadow It's not very difficult at all, but it's written very well! You can see his classical background because of how there are basically two melodies written on top of each other.

@TylerChrusciel yeah i know what you mean, his classical roots come out quite a bit in this peice. I still think its ddifficult!

I'm 14 and I write finger style like him.... He's so good at playing! I have a little habit of using the open strings on DADGAD but it's getting better and I'm composing one with ta

Did that motherfucker just tune in the middle of the song? Holy fucking balls. I know some people have perfect pitch like Jimi who fought his guitar back in tune but damn talk about a transition for your song if you just wanna drop tuning

@heegohordavio The camera change when he tunes it down looks a little suspicious though you have to admit. I'm sure for the sake of the video they did stop and tune it perfectly, but that wouldn't be needed when he tunes back up because he plays the first string right after which is the same note. :p
