Very nicely played, thanks.

[metalliholic]

You play it better than most if not all the vids ive seen covering this.

[hillpolecat]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and performance. I am impressed that you have done a rare steel string version of this song. You handled the big reach from V barre to IX fret with pinky very well. Also, you did the harmonics very gracefully. The song is very beautiful and you got the lyrical quality very well. Like most other versions, you have invented a nice ending to the piece with the harmonic. Thanks again for sharing.

After seeing that it said "tribute to friends who lost their lives..." and hearing just a few seconds of this song, it really got to me. Recently, a 19-year-old girl that I just graduated not even two years ago passed away and that just made me think about it. Even though I didn't know her that well, it's still such a sad thing.

Anyway, it's a great tune by one of my favorite guitarists and you play it wonderfully!

[walantrophy]

Sorry for ur loss..its good to be compassionate tho u dont know her well like u said.May god help us live lng to fulfill all our purpose in life!God Bless!

[badfinger848]

God bless you too, man!

Also, I'll certainly be coming back to your channel at least once in a while to hear you play--I love your playing...I really do!

[walantrophy]

[jskim1]

you have a very beautiful feel and touch!! GOD bless...

[walantrophy]

Hey..thanks for ur comment. God bless u too!

[tbenkey]

beautiful playing for a wonderful cause. But just for clarity's sake, the song is written by Don Mclean originally. The version you are playing was recorded and arranged by Chet Atkins. Sorry to be picky but being a creative person, I like to give the proper credit. Don wrote it, Chet gave the best expression of it for Classical (even Don says so, LOL).

[walantrophy]

Thanks for ur comment..point taken too..God bless!
