Acoustic guitar piece in Open D tuning

[JoeBradshaw123456]

WOW! I have been writing some stuff recently in Open D. I just wish it was as good as that. Keep up the great work man.

[DeanBastable]

love guitar! :D

[LinaKuduzovic]

This is soo beautifull!!!!

[raidersnorthwest]

that was absolutely beautiful.:) I'm looking forward to hearing more music from you. My sister and I are trying to learn guitar also, it's getting a little easier. Hopefully we'll be posting up videos as well. But anyways, great job!!!

[fngrpkn06]

Beautiful arrangement enjoyed immensley.

[pritch1964]

Absolutely beautiful

[tinpanalley89]

there's a lot of tommy emmanuel in this

[HPFF123]

Love your covers, can you do a cover of You Belong to Me by Lifehouse and Last Request by Paolo Nuiti?

[yangsmoth]

Hi Jeroen.

I picked up an acoustic guitar some time ago but felt kind of disheartened and gave up with the help of some dumb excuses, like the fact that my hands are really small (they are, but I suppose there are more guitar players with small hands).

I want to learn to play the guitar, I'm not aiming for rock songs, I want to play like you. And Open D is my favourite tuning, it seems to resonate inside.

I just want to ask, when did you start playing? At 20, am I late to play like you?

[coleworm61]

@yangsmoth It's never too late to play. just pick up a guitar and have at it :) if you want to get good stay persistant

[lennyedwards62]

@yangsmoth It's never too late to learn, many people take up guitar far later in life than 20. Get a guitar and go for it. If you work hard at it you'll get to a competent level quicker than you imagine. Don't be put off by minor frustrations, keep practising and you'll get it. With every performance like this what you don't see is the work and repetition it took to get there.

[boliverful1]

Gorgeous work. Thanks for sharing.

[TheMav88]

Wondeful song..

[HeartShapedStones]

Beautiful ... why would 27 people (at the time of posting this) click to say they didn't like this piece! Some people eh !!!

[justbill43]

Your strings are very fresh and sonorous - what weight do you use please.

[Heronymusic]

@justbill43 Hi I use 0.12 Elixer

[onemomentspeace]

This is such a great piece of music Jeroen! I have probably listened to it 100 times. Very uplifting.

[sped4000]

Have you not just ripped off "Hana (Flower) by Masaaki Kishibe?

That's what it sounds like to me.

[caterpillarbob1]

@sped4000 you are a douche......

[sped4000]

@caterpillarbob1 Maybe so. But i am right.

[IwishIwereJoe]

@sped4000 sounds nothing like it to me. just the same guitar tuning.

[borcudo]

Bravo!

You've wrote a very nice song, well done!

[MyMarkcus]

Just been through your other stuff. You are a talented guy. A pleasure to listen to you and I'll be trying out this song ASAP. Theres a little of Bron Y Aur by Jimmy Page in there somewhere.

[MyMarkcus]

Don't know who you are but thats a beautiful piece of music, beautifully played.

[KarlheinzFey1]

Great music and guitar playing! Congratsd and best wishes! Karlheinz

[marielise73]

Jeroen, I always enjoy to listen this song, i wish to listen it in mp3...take care my friend!, you are a great guitar player!

[rulerjoel]

Prachtig gespeeld met gevoel echt super vet. =D

Joël

[Ishta123]

Excellent

[Gitarrencheck09]

great job ... this sounds fantastic !!!

best regards ..

Ernesto ...

[fever003]

Jeroen,I have to admit, until today,this is still one of the best songs to play on guitar.

Sometimes I will put the capo on the 3rd fret or 5th, just to give it a key change.

[Heronymusic]

@fever003 Great to hear Han!! Hope all is well!! Cheers Jeroen

[mvo5720]

Simply beautiful, such talent is always greatly appreciated by all who aspire to such greatness. Cheers.. MIke

[choumoumoumou]

absolutley beautiful

[CaddoMuzik]

This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting it.

[jflipibanez]

is the open d tuning ur refering to, DADGAD? like is kashmir or is is the capo

[RiseAgainstTheDay]

@jflipibanez no i think the open D he is in is DADF#AD with the capo if im wrong correct me

[Heronymusic]

@jflipibanez Hi , no there's one tone different. It is : DADF#AD. Bye Jeroen

[smince82]

brilliant picking m8 how the hell can you stretch your fingers that far??/

[dazivee]

Superb playing and songs.......do you have a CD available? Thanks

[Heronymusic]

@dazivee Thanks a lot! Not yet , I'm working on it. Cheers Jeroen

[crossingzero]

now THAT was D lishious.....well said man..

[tobto1]

I play all my songs in EBEBEB, almost 3 octaves.

We have to play not a fingers by ears (c)

[tobto1]

I play all my song in EBEBEB, almost 3 octaves

[abynirvana]

respect !! and tons of it..

music is still alive !! :)

[mharinger]

Such an incredible song and incredible talent =)

[ZoneIII]

That's incredible!

[bluesboozesurf]

hey thats awesome! just starting playing around with this tuning and started to write some stuff, could you recommend any musicians in this style?? but seriously, awesome tune.

[Heronymusic]

@bluesboozesurf Thanks, ah yeah there are some great players like Masaaki Kishibe, Ulli Bogershausen who write beautifull melodies in this tuning. Also check out DADGAD players like Pierre Bensusan and Franco Morone. I probally forget some great other ones...

Cheers Jeroen

[Product1999]

enlighten me; how long does a genius like yourself take to write a piece like this?

[Heronymusic]

@Product1999 LOL :) It took a half year I think , but with some breaks in between. I didn't wrote/played this constantly.

Cheers Jeroen

[JointCracky]

fantastic!

[StarHill02]

Man, this is the most beautiful thing!

I tune my '74 Yamaha FG160 to open D and noodle around at

home, but I'm nowhere near this good.

Salutations and happy playing!

[theinck]

i added this to my faves and subscribed. this is the best thing i've seen since Bear Grylls. well done

[thelittlepicker]

One of my favorites!

[cordmorgan12]

dude you should do a tutorial

[Heronymusic]

@cordmorgan12 I have , it can be found on my channel(+ tabs) Jeroen

[barzoman2]

WOW your play touch my heart in speed of light

You are So wonderful player you worth all good luck and success

please keep deliver this nice music on youtube

[perfuzz]

Wow, you should ease down on the reverb or whatever it is you're using. It smears out you nifty craftsmanship.

[MatheusMendonca1]

please, can you help me:

Is that possible play musics in F, G, A, with the guitar in D open tuning (without capo)?

[Heronymusic]

@MatheusMendonca1 Yes that's possible. Though it's mostly played in the key of D because you can let the strings sustain long. Cheers Jeroen

[xMusicalCells]

This is so amazing!(:

You should be really proud of yourself.

I really like this song.

Does it have any lyrics?

[Heronymusic]

@xMusicalCells Thanks!! No It's an instrumental. Cheers Jeroen

[BinFrog]

That is absolutely beautiful.

[FORSATKEY]

(Daddario - Elixir - Martin) (0.11 - 0.12 - 0.13 - 0.14)

Thanks !!!

[Heronymusic]

@CaduGuitarBlues Hi I play Elixer 0.12. Bye Jeroen

[JointCracky]

[JinxxxOnU]

Beautiful man. Your tone and dynamics are excellent!

[PAGAFER]

It sounds like Tommy Emmanuel's Angelina!

[JonBouye]

I just found your channel and I really enjoy the style you've developed. You remind me of Muriel Anderson alot. I only recently started to learn to fingerpick and you are more than inspiring; even though I get frustrated with myself trying to do some of your arrangements. Thank you soo much.

[deltablues4761]

Beautiful, talent, passion , technique, no more need to say but, ENJOY!

You don't often see non blues pieces like this adapted in Open D tunings.

[CRACKHORSE123]

[FlipYourLips]

[CorsaQuadz2k8]

Truly inspiring, at school i was surrounded by metal, rock etc etc and there was one guy who could play the guitar fluent spanish....Everyone singled him out.....

I wish i took to this kind of harmonic composition rather than thrashing about.

I find it excellent to watch great video :D

[polabear661944]
