[Th3C4ke]

I need a tutorial ;__;

Tune? 

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@Th3C4ke Tuning? ..i believe it's in standard :]

[Th3C4ke]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good It sounds like Dadgad or something C:

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@Th3C4ke really?....cuz i thought he was playing an E Minor for the "chorus"

[Th3C4ke]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good haha perhaps it is in standard tuning then, anyway... great song :)

[maneli]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good Try Standard :)

[tatry13]

For such a time you want to live - it is food for the soul

[bevil45181]

AWESOME!!!



[musicmydrug10]

Fabulous darlin!!! Really enjoyed that….

[maneli]

@musicmydrug10 Thanks a lot!

[MrScottJJohnson]

I just finished learning "Drifting" by Andy McKee. This one's not too much more difficult is it?

[maneli]

@MrScottJJohnson This one requires more fingerstyle technique as well as the two hand tap / percussion.

[MrScottJJohnson]

@maneli lol alright! I'll get right to it, soon as this comes out on ultimate guitar dot com.

[maneli]

@MrScottJJohnson Ok good luck!

[Sadeeka8788]

16 people are just dumb ¬¬... Awesome!!!

[TheBug1961]

Where did you learn that tapping technique? What instruction material did you use?

[maneli]

@TheBug1961 Im self taught, I learned from watching and learning.

[zenoist2]

Dont you jurt love unconventional!

Brilliant!

[maneli]

@zenoist2 mmhmm!

[Cavin8r]

This song reminds me so much of Bristlecone by Bundy.

[moechelle68]

I can't stop posting your stuff. I have turned many of my musically driven friends on, and always the same- WOW. you're so beautifully talented, please do not ever put that guitar down. awaiting your next..... thank you!!

[maneli]

@moechelle68 Awesome, thanks for spreading the word!

[Cavin8r]

What tuning is this in?

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@Cavin8r surprisingly in Standard

[maneli]

@Cavin8r Thats right, standard!

[claptonslash100]

hey brilliant stuff.

[elesrk]

I'm an Iranian girl and i'm sooooo proud that you're an Iranian with such good talent. I love to play the guitar but i don't think i can find an instructor in iran as good as you:( wish you were in iran!!!

[maneli]

@elesrk Mercy! Keep playing, you can learn a lot from YouTube. I sure did.

[tanjida2008]

If I could sit here and comment on every single video, a milion times over, I would. I can't express how exceptional your talent is!

You need to do worldwide concerts pretty soon, or else I feel really sorry for the people who haven't seen your video's! :D

[maneli]

@tanjida2008 I hope to be touring real soon after the new CD is released.

[HEARTIUS]

you're brilliant



[Xatapon]

yayy it's amazing!

[koeryn]

Wonderful video, and you're a very talented guitarist. My only complaint is that it feels somewhat disconnected. A series of disparate riffs thrown together in the guise of a song, with an over-arching repeating riff to tie them together.

That said, it's amazing to hear. You are significantly more talented than I, and I bow before your skill!

[maneli]

@koeryn Thanks for your honesty!

[kelofduty]

If you could choose to play another instrument that you don't know how to play, what would it be and why?

[maneli]

@kelofduty probably some eastern instrument.

[kelofduty]

Yeah... I thought it was spam, too and boy was I wrong too lol EXCELLENT. So glad I clicked on it..

[MrScottJJohnson]

Will you ever perform in Kentucky? Hopefully Louisville or somewhere near? I'm trying to get my guitar autographed by all the greatest acoustic guitar players of today. It was a gift, for me to perform at my dad's funeral. Hope to hear from ya

[maneli]

@MrScottJJohnson Im sure I will make it there soon. See ya then!

[TheHardDanceManiac]

wow, very innovative style!

[maneli]

@TheHardDanceManiac Thanks!

[thediscgolfvids]

PS - You look bored when you play this song. Post something that challenges your intellect :)

[maneli]

@thediscgolfvids lol yeah right.

[thediscgolfvids]

Seriously, I know I've commented on this before, but I just want you to know how fucking good this song is. It's fucking great. Please, please release more songs.

[maneli]

@thediscgolfvids Haha thanks, many more to come.

[ssteiyne]

WOW!!! Amazing. Love it.

[kad1295]

I absolutely love this song! :D

I plan to definitely to cover this masterpiece! All your songs are wonderful, keep it up :)

[maneli]

@kad1295 Thanks a lot, good luck!

[closeupeyes]

Which string guage do you feel is best for tapping techniques?

[maneli]

@closeupeyes They're all good for tapping. Its all in the right hand technique.

[Strenux]

Saw this song pop up in my Private Messages, thought it was spam. Boy, was I wrong.

Magical.

[karensmora]

esto es buena musica para mis oidos!

[MetalDinos07]

@maneli how long have you been playing for? :)

[maneli]

@MetalDinos07 10 years now.

[lollerskates101LOL]

@maneli Really? When did you start doing those alternate tapping things? How did you start learning that, I'm an acoustic player and when I see so much right hand movement it astonishes me. Do you have any tips for me to learn how to do that? (I've been playing for 2 years)

[thediscgolfvids]

I've watched this video countless times and I can't get over both how beautiful this composition is and how effortlessly you play such an intricate song. Please keep making music.

[maneli]

@thediscgolfvids Thank you, many more tunes to come :)

[DARAMANBIRIE]

Blew me away brother. Unbelievably beautiful. Hows this brother not a star??? HE IS!!!

[maneli]

@DARAMANBIRIE haha thanks!

[xxSw33tH3art21xx]

an extremely epic song i literally watched this video at the least a zillon times! it's so great!

[maneli]

@xxSw33tH3art21xx Thanks a lot!

[F50Italia]

Candy Rat Records should sign him !

[maneli]

@F50Italia they're on it :)

[F50Italia]

@maneli Congrats bro !

[Asadmirzabaig]

Fucking incredible! 

[stychin]

Nice

[OfForceAndChaos]

Maneli, I'm sure you've heard this many a time, but you are incredibly talented. I too am I fan of Andy McKee, but your style is so much more involved, and it's almost darker... but still so beautiful. This song is so appropriately named, because it makes me think about winter.

Don't ever stop writing. It gives us other aspiring musicians something to compete with, something to learn from.

[maneli]

@OfForceAndChaos Thank you. I appreciate it. I do like the darker sounds more... tends to be deeper in my opinion.

[francereddog]

Boy am I glad i checked my inbox.

[maneli]

@francereddog teehee :)

[BaseballGod710]

Maneli McKee?

[maneli]

@BaseballGod710 HAH!

[TJSongs]

Man, Thanks so much for sharing this with me. Sadly, its rare that I take the time to view all the music people send to me but I am glad that for whatever reason I chose to see this one. You completely mesmerized and captured my attention. Not only because the guitar work was so perfect but there is that indefinable personal connection that comes through for me as the listener like we've shared something very intimate. That is a gift that can't be taught and its always a pleasure hear. Thanks..

[maneli]

@TJSongs Thank you very much for that.

[GUARDIANtrooper]

You really know how to make love to that thing, lol! I love that style and your flavor, very skillful and full when you play, love it, thumbs up!

[maneli]

@GUARDIANtrooper you rock, thanks for the kind words.

[Cosmicbow]

I love it !!!

Love the rythm, love the harmonics...

Strong and very sensible...

You are a great musician

I imagine the pleasure you have to play !

[maneli]

@Cosmicbow thanks a lot!

[BigCanOfBeans]

WOAH!! Eargasm in the first second! Holy half-empty beer bottle!!!

[maneli]

@BigCanOfBeans haha good one.

[OriginalStreetSurfer]

amazing

[TheCynicalPinnacle]

@OriginalStreetSurfer WHO JUST FOUND YOUR COMMENT LIAM

[OriginalStreetSurfer]

@TheCynicalPinnacle haha :D

[accordv6er]

[darkstar1345a]

all hail to a guitar god

[S0L01984]

This is really good...

[pejpo]

You deserve a lot more fame, ive seen almost every video you got and you're so fkin awesome.

[maneli]

@pejpo hehe you rock.

[Grambo4]

Nice jazzy part at 1:43! This is pretty complex - different rhythms and syncopation throughout. Interesting, but hard to follow in the transitions. Great technique though, and beautiful sounds.

[maneli]

@Grambo4 Thanks a lot!

[maskofmemories]

Reminds me of Andy McKee.

[earthstar]

Outstanding!! Standing ovation!

[3ntoe1]

guitar is part of your body

[hulksjedi]

Amazing!

[Sheckter88]

Subscribed! good tone and awsome playing. i was hoping for more of a better flowing song. less tempo change and more of a composition with less frequent random riffs into one. reminds me of Tommy Emanuals playing. like listen to andy mckee's "Heathers song". or the song "She" the first time i heard those it was like there wasnt one part i disliked about it. anywho great playing awsome talent. i am drinking a big fat glass of hatorade

[maneli]

@Sheckter88 thanks for your honesty although this one is more of a progressive track than a standard pop / rock song structure.

[bUCkL3y111]

Love it!! :)

[crimsonthunder9]

Like it :D

[riklda2000]

its fantastic how was you do this?

[maneli]

@chenlightrain danke danke!

[chorbychorbs]

Really like the style... Sounds kinda like Andy mckee :)

[AspireToDoItAll]

Insane, that's so freaking good it's crazy!!!

[turkhBM]

Great job! I really love it :)

[lucian4384]

I thought Jamal had fantastic technique in all three areas (finger taping, hammers and finger picking). There were two sections where he shifted from the finger taping to finger picking. The first time it seemed like he shifted gears into a different song. The second time the the transition seemed smoother almost seamless. He is an accomplished guitar player, of this there is no doubt. This is just my critique of this song.

[maneli]

@lucian4384 thanks for that!

[Vox572X]

great skills, I love to see the passion in a musical player and this is no exeption!

[maneli]

@Vox572X Thanks a lot!

[WallieTF]

jolly good sir!

[Vyerabend]

i do like the use of harmonics in this one

[maneli]

@Vyerabend yay!

[zergrrr]

You remind me a ton of some of the guys at candyrat, you might be interested in looking into them. Nice playing

[maneli]

@zergrrr hehe oh yea. I will be releasing my next cd with them :)
