May It Be - Enya (Fingerstyle Guitar)

[AlexBmgn]

Oh, how I waited for you to release May it be when you said that you work with her. All thanks are unable to express my ...

[Gangly1]

Can't beat a bit of Enya...especially on a guitar and played like this.

Well done Mike.

Keep well sir.

Paul

@Gangly1 Hello, Paul. Glad to see you haven't completely abandoned the Youtube scene. Time for another video, isn't it?

[sauron176]

Yay

[OneEagle08]

beautiful!

[theguitar2508]

Ah ok x)

[guitarxgaming64]

Thank you for playing all this wonderfull music to us :) And the fact that you bother to write all the tabs and share them with us is amazing! :D keep it up!

[theguitar2508]

How did you known that I was french , you said " merci " x) ?

[oldwhtman]

@theguitar2508 I think it was your accent ;) Actually, your channel identifies your nationality.

[DamianNixon]

Mike.You only think they've faded away. They probably are fed up writing the same platitudes and praises. There is only so many times you can say "Jeez. That was lovely." p.s. (if there is such a thing in a digital age) That was lovely.

[supershigi]

Beautiful! I was really excited to see this in my subscription center... I love this song, and I imagined that it would be very pretty in this style. I really enjoyed this :)

Now I want to go back and watch Fellowship of the Ring, haha...

[Mrmbm352]

Beautiful as alway :)

[xRisingForcex]

bravo! you don't give yourself nearly enough credit.

[JavierDieser]

Thanks for sharing. I also live as a private act play guitar. Some time ago I want to do a video to share and maybe someone will come. Best regards from Argentina

[literauntie]

mmm peaceful, and like a folktune...very very nice!

[ironmonger100]

A lovely warm sound Mike, and such expressive playing. You deserve every compliment you've ever had. A belated happy new year my friend.

[oldwhtman]

@ironmonger100 Thanks, Shaun. It would have sounded better had I not 'spilled' so many notes. The sour ones really stick out in a slow piece like this.

[theguitar2508]

I commend you :) beautiful to crying

[oldwhtman]

@theguitar2508 Merci.

*about ur playing

[GuilhermeSantos1992]

you always complain about ur feeling, did anyone told that ur so talented ? i dont know much about guitar, but the feeling u put on the songs u play, its touching, and ur arrangements are fantastic, im growing as a fingerstyle guitar player becuase all ur sharings, usually very good stuff

[tekeo90]

Even if i don't know the song your music is briliant sir ;)

[oldwhtman]

@tekeo90 Thanks.

[HarryMurrell]

Nice! You've given it an almost jazzy quality. I know you mean about the 'performer gene'; some people just have it easy :).

[oldwhtman]

@HarryMurrell Thanks. I didn't intend really intend for a jazz-like sound, but I usually just guess at the harmony and live with the result.

[Itachi261092]

Respect from Russia xDDD i want learn play guitar too xD

[oldwhtman]

@Itachi261092 Sounds like a good idea. There can't be too many guitar players.

[wwelti]

Hi Mike! Wow, that's really nicely done!

Regards, Wilfried

[oldwhtman]

@wwelti Hello, Wilfred. I thought maybe you retired from the Youtube circuit. Are you writing another book or something? Many of the people I subscribed to in the beginning have faded away. I guess they realized they had a real life to live. I don't have that problem.

[lighttenebris]

I love Enya and The Lord of the Rings, thank you so much !

[oldwhtman]

@lighttenebris Enya is always pleasant to listen to.

[jassomish]

wow! im watching your videos about a year and i want to play on guitar like you! how you do it? :D everyone video is perfect!

[jassomish]

thank you for sharing tabs! :)

[robdoubletrouble]

thank you for sharing your videos and tabs with us! i know how it's like getting nervous when playing around someone ( even though you don't look nervous or anything and your videos are flawless )... it happens to me too...

[oldwhtman]

@robdoubletrouble I think performers learn to go into automatic pilot or something. As soon as I hit the record button my brain goes into manual mode, then I panic ... I forget how to fly the plane ... then I crash.

[robdoubletrouble]

@oldwhtman yeah... like, just the other day i started praticising "hero" by enrique iglesias, and it was going perfectly, until i started playing for my mom, when i practically stopped ... i was like, struck...hopefully i will get used to playing to people :-s
