  • This is great, inspiring, maybe even better that Igor Presnyakov.

    But how come there is no tabs for this? I shouldn't ask, but it's just that I can't figure out how to play it on my own...With that said, great job! Just as thelover8308 said.

  • @FelixLorentzon you should be able to buy them on thecandyrat website, there is a link in the description

  • I love so much this tune, but I think Craig never quite reached the same heights with his other work. The simplicity and focus on melody of this song is unmatched.

  • *dusts off guitar and starts playing again*

    Thank you sir!

  • @TheGreenerItGets thats great that this inspired you! it did the same for me

  • I had to listen twice. This guy is AMAZING!!! The trail of rapture he leads you down is gorgeous! Rarely have I heard music that inspires such a state of bliss. I stand in respect and awe of men like these.

  • Guys, what happened to the nurse? i've been looking for that song.

  • @marooki

    :// mee too :(

  • he's brilliant at evoking moods in his compositions, and he's a gifted composer.  Since I'm an optimist, this is my favorite of his songs.

  • I LOVE

  • Shiny

  • The song is so beautiful.. I feel the guitar standing up.. smiling at you with the music in the background proud about its charm!!!

  • I want to go to Morrison county now

  • For all you fans of amazing guitar playing, check out Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders, that guy is a virtuoso. P.s this record label is my dream

  • perfect *-*

  • Not since McKee's Drifting have I been so moved by a guitarist, It wasn't that long ago guys like this didn't even exist. We are witnessing the cutting edge of musical evolution here.

  • @thelover8308 You got that right!

  • Where can I get one of those picks to go around my thumb, because my thumb is retarted when I finger pick >.>...

  • @keyser66guitarist im sure almost all guitar shops sell them. just ask for a thumb pick.

  • @keyser66guitarist and you'll need to 'smarten up' your thumb before you slap a thumb pick on, otherwise the retardedness will simply be louder. Trust me, it won't make you better.

  • @ceasarvanstorm Yeah I planned on it, I just can't seem to get it to ring well with just the side of my nail.

  • how can any one not like this?

  • What brand is that guitar?

  • i have the tabs, the tuning is D# G D# F A# D#

  • He really likes to play in sharps lol :P I can play stages of obsession by him....He's awesome

  • I got the tab from ultimate guitar. but if you want to learn it you will have to watch the video too because the tab isn't 100% correct more like 83% lol :P

  • pure awesomeness

  • There was this great add I once saw in guitar magazine that puts it all in perspective. It shows all these teens out partying while one of the guys is home practicing his guitar instead for five hours a day. Then after years go by, it goes on to say, "You had your time, now it's his time to play" Then he proceeds to wail out an awsome song like this. I hope all you young inspired future wannabe guitar players hear me!! Practice Makes Perfect!

  • i fianlly got the tabs for guess whos my favorite, stages of obsession, and morrison, and now my summer is complete!

  • where'd you get 'em?

  • a friend of mine on youtube sent them to me.

  • Dude, keep us updated on that. We'll be wanting to see some videos.

  • I hope someday I'll be able to record in that room

  • Que bien tocas la guitarra! fenomenal!

  • Comment removed

  • It looks like it's FAFGCF so you'll probably need a guitar just for that tuning.

  • Oh my bad, I just checked, It's E flat-G-E flat-F-B flat-E flat

  • thanks for cheering me up after a horrible day

    i love your shiny guitar and the songs you play on it! quite refreshing after all that shit that's being thrown into our face via TV!

    keep it up craig!

  • Look how small that guitar is compared to him xD.

  • I didn't mean my comment in a bad way! Craig is really tall... go check out his Myspace pictures

  • practice man!

  • A lot of hard work, a big heart, and a lot of sacrifice..You can 0:)

  • He spent most of his life to become what he currently is... No worries there you could be that good with practice. The question is do you want it :)

    if not, enjoy it it's very nice to hear :)

  • All you gotta do is practice and be obsessed with guitar.

    Like me,I play guitar at least...5 hours a day.

    Everyday.

    I'm still not great but I'm getting there.:)

  • Anyone think this guitar looks a bit similar to Andy McKee's guitar he uses in Dependant Arising, Nakagawa-San, etc?

  • Both guitars are by luthier Andrew White, although this model is slightly smaller than Andy's by the look of it.

  • nothing less expectet from a c.r. artist

    keep going ;)

  • Does anyone know what Morrison county this song is about?

  • lolololol u wanna start a band with me?????

  • Phenomenal man. That was mega Beautiful and I never say Beautiful

  • you took the words right out of my mouth..beautiful and amazing

  • look at how he shakes off the last oozing droplets of pure condensed music that remain on the strings after the final strum. brilliant

  • @L0wps He's actually bending the harmonics. Really cool stuff.

  • Lol wow... your something else.

  • really good

  • Really talented guy! He looks so young.. Anyone know his age? To be composing that good music, being that young... Amazing

  • he's 24

  • he looks 17 loadofcat lol

  • 50p

  • We still dont know how much that guitar costs.

  • lol

  • Is he related to the people that make D'andrea thumbpicks??

  • how much?? seriously.

  • guys, guess how much that guitar costs.

  • alot?

  • how much?

  • well...? lol how much!

  • john butler rip off?

  • how is this a john butler rip off? it doesn't sound anything like him.

  • listen to a song called ocean by john butler

  • i know that song, i can play that song -_- but this doesn't really sound anything like it.

  • technique, style, und build-off is exactly the same ... I can play ocean too

  • well, butler plays more celtic-like. i don't think the style is anything alike.

  • Comment removed

  • i agree the main theme(s) are especially butler sounds

  • we all have our influences i dont believe there are such things as rip offs

  • this song has such a happy feeling for me. everytime i listen to it i feel happy. god i would trade a leg to be that talented! working on it though...

  • Urgh I need to learn this masterpeice.

  • so i dont think justin king is with candyrat records....can any one confirm that...

    and Craig D andrea is the shit.

  • Justin isn't with them. I don't know who he's signed with.

  • this song was randomly in my head all day. my favorite song from craig

  • When he can play it, post a video of him playing it at this level, thats when he can call it easy :)

  • I never said i could play it, but when you compare it to songs by the other candyrat players, such as antoine dufour, andy mckee, or peter ciluzzi, its nowhere near as difficult.

    the bassline is mostly what makes this piece a lot simpler to play.

  • lol you know nothing

  • everyone is entitled to their own opinion. think about that next time you decide to be a dick.

  • Candyrat artists don't write songs that are or look difficult, they write songs that sound beautiful. Whether this song is difficult or not, it is very very beautiful. Andy Mckee has even stated that he doesn't write flashy stuff, he writes good sounding music.

  • this song is probably one of the least difficult of all the candyrat artist's songs.

  • Probably true. Good song though. Very nice feeling.  Why did you get a thumbs down for this comment?

  • 2:30 turn is RIDICULOUS!

  • tas awebao

  • love it!

  • im lost inbetween my ears and the notes my brain is receiving ...heavy weight champ right here

  • this song is SOOOOOOO great

  • Wonderfull! Makes me happy.

  • I feel like I can just think about all the happy things in life while relaxing... It's a great feeling, like nothing else matters but the music.

  • God he makes it look so fucking easy ..

  • Yeah I bought the tabs its harder than it looks lol

  • wats the tuning?

  • WHERE CAN I GET THE TABS? its such beautifull song your fantastic!

  • check the info next time you comment/look for tabs

  • I'm digging the tone of that guitar so much more than any of the others he plays on the youtube vids....

  • Damn that guitar is shiny :)

  • This my favorite song by Craig....its like hearing a wise old sailor tell you the way it goes...hats off to you Craig

    Scotty

  • it's in the information block @ candyrat

  • is he not using his index finger?

  • sorry, meant ring finger...?

  • Of course he is. :)

  • Definitely not the guitar to be using if you're an epileptic.

  • awesome playing and guitar, sounds nice, and it's the shiniest guitar i've ever seen. lol
