[trevancoltd]

Oooohhhhh this is so good! Beautifully played and with all of the emotion of the original beautiful song. Thank you for playing and posting this.

[chamacojesus]

@trevancoltd

You can't imagine how I appreciate good comments in this video, my friend (it is by far my worst rated video). A thousand thanks! ... and I agree, the original song is full of feeling and emotion, I love it.

[mimi042188]

Wow! I would love to learn how to play that kind of plucking. Who can teach me?

[chamacojesus]

@mimi042188

Thanks a lot! Well, I really don't know how I learnt... Just practicing, I suppose. Thanks for watching and have a fantastic new year!

[tubeloving]

@chamacojesus Just practising.... and being v smart too!! I really like your version and the recording sound is v good too! Do you play any Eva Cassidy?

[Jes2n06]

you're my new idol ^_^

[chamacojesus]

@Jes2n06

Thanks a bunch, but I'll be very happy just being your friend. Welcome to my videos. Hugs!

[Jes2n06]

you're my new idol ^_^

[Stomo1709]

I have come back to this video again, this is simply mesmerizing. It just evokes the same emotion that it did when I first heard this song sung by Beverly Craven.

[chamacojesus]

@Stomo1709

It is a fantastic song and she is an extraordinary singer, composer and player. One of my youth's impossible love, I must confess... Thanks a lot, my friend.

[minimoyz8]

I'm sorry, my friend, but my lack of time is extreme.... I hardly can play. Thanks for watching anyway.

[GlennValt]

Dear Jesus,

I am happy to be falling this video because I like this song very much..

Currently, I don't have the time to rest, i'm very busy. I'm so tired.. It is the first and the last vidéo I wtach today... lol.

Thanks to you. Perfect arrangement and play. I can sleep now.

Hugs,

Glenn

[chamacojesus]

@GlennValt

Hi Glenn, thanks a bunch once more for this little marathon in my videos !!! Don't hurry, my friend, they're gonna be there for you later! A big hug!

[skullebrity]

you sir,you are THE man! AMAZING cover,this song means a lot to me,personally,for the moment,it's making me think of positive things,it makes me turn my sad thoughts into happy thoughts and it totally made me cry,it's so beautiful.

respect to you sir,it's rare to see real musicians who play wih soul and heart,just for the music and the emotion,your expressions are really artistic,very good job!!!

[chamacojesus]

@skullebrity

One of the best and most motivating comments I've ever received. A thousand thanks, Melanie, you can't imagine how grateful I feel.

[trevancoltd]

Beautifully played version of a beautiful song. You have captured the essence of the poetry, feeling of the lyrics and music of this song. I congratulate and thank you for posting it!

[chamacojesus]

@trevancoltd

A thousand thanks, I have a especial predilection for this video of mine (the worst rated one), and I always feel very thankful to the positive comments as yours. It is a fantastic song and she is a fantastic composer.

[Deu5Vult]

Simply breathtaking. You play with much emotion and feeling my friend.

[chamacojesus]

@Deu5Vult

Thank you very much, my friend, I really love this song very much, and that's not easy to pretend, though it is by far my worst rated video, so I thank especially your positive comment. Cheers!

[bermellonmusic]

sin palabras, increíble...

[chamacojesus]

Un millón de gracias

[tecojerez]

exelente interpretacion muy buena es uno de los clasicos de siempre que se los lleva en el corazon ,le pones el alma a esa guitarra gracias por deleitar nuestros oidos

[chamacojesus]

Muchísimas gracias, hombre. Es una emocionante canción, desde luego.

[mimaneraloca]

Respect hombre, Holanda

[chamacojesus]

Muchas gracias! I love your nick, btw!

[Dudeboxx]

Np :). Ahh oki.. that explains ure skills heh. well i started 2 yrs ago.. and well yeh, i think it takes yrs to get where u are. but i can hope one day hehe :).

(its not the last comment i will give to u hehe)

[Dudeboxx]

I love this song ! so great :). and again, u make it sound so good.

how long have u been played :) ?

[chamacojesus]

Hi Harris, thanks again! Well, I started playing when I was 5... but I've fallen out with my guitar a thousand times... I decided to restart playing (more or less) seriously a couple of years ago, when I opened this channel....

[vietnt2]

Ehm, a quick question. What was the tunning of this arrangement?

[chamacojesus]

You're right, I should study it again, it's a pity to forget it this way... In that case I could record it again with a better guitar and sound (I'd like to think that's the reason to be my worst rated video...). So you wouldn't have to pay any ticket at all to hear it again...

Regarding the tunning: D A D G B E

Best regards, my friend.

[vietnt2]

Lol, please don't get me wrong about the ticket stuff. I just meant to ask if you going to have a live show. I would be happy to pay for tickets or would love to donate in case you decide tickets are free. This arrangement as well as the others of yours are so awesome. I really enjoy them and it would be great if I can enjoy them live.

Thanks for the tunning information. I would try to "guess" the tab out.

Thanks so much ^^,

Viet.

[vietnt2]

I know I asked for this before but PLEASE TAB THIS BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT :((. It moves me each time listening... Please please please!!!

[chamacojesus]

I'm sorry, my friend, but this arrangement (like most of mine) is lost forever: I've definitely forgotten it. Thus, the work is double: to remember it (watching my own video) and to write it down.... I'm afraid it is actually impossible :((

[vietnt2]

Aw... So so so pity... How could you forget this awesome arrangement :-(? I hope it would flash back to you someday... Btw, I was wondering if you are going to make a live show? I will be the first one to by ticket to that show to here you play this piece ^^.

All the best,

Viet.

[TheCrazylilkid]

awesome arrangement & performance, i love it!

[chamacojesus]

A thousand thanks!

[staythenight]

A mi también siempre me gustó esta balada y tu versión es iiiiincreiiiible. Sos muy talentoso y además transmitís mucho con tu guitarra. Espero sigas con tu increíble trabajo. ¡Saludos!

[chamacojesus]

Muchísimas gracias, Sofía, lo mismo te digo de tu talento. No me extraña que te guste esta chica, ya que es muy guapa y canta muy bien, cualidades ambas que compartes. Sólo tienes un defecto: tienes pocos videos, queremos más! Un saludo hasta Argentina.

[borderharley]

Hi Jesus ..Paul here from "still sunny" Scotland, hope you are well .looking forward to more music ...Promise me you will ...Thanks again.whenever I have had a bad day all I need is a bit of you music to cheer me up Cheers Paul

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, my friend, of course I will, I'm addicted to your weather reports, mate. One million thanks and a big hug from sunny Valencia (I'm on holiday!)

[quelmir1996]

yeah, I did!

[quelmir1996]

very nice! thanks for playing this song...God bless...looking forward for more English title...lol

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, Raquel! But have a try on Spanish titles too, my friend, or you'll skip some little gems...

[Stomo1709]

You are most welcome. I bought myself a Larrivee D09 and have been inspired by its beautiful tone to play again. I have recently figured out Tommy Emmanuel's Angelina and now am working my way through Adam Rafferty's Superstition. It looks like yours will be next on my list.

[chamacojesus]

It is a plasure to take part in that list, my friend, close to such fantastic guitarists. Let me know if you need any type of help if you finally try it.

[Stomo1709]

Yours is the best arrangement that I have come accross in youtube. Players like you keep inspiring me to play my guitar.

[chamacojesus]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my friend. Visitors like you keep inspiring to me to play guitar and to post videos. A thousand thanks.

[vietnt2]

This melody still stuck in my head. Your performance is such a breath-taking one. I was speechless each time enjoying the song. Is there any chance this arrangement be available? I really wish I could play it someday!!

[chamacojesus]

Thank you very very much, my friend, I really enjoy playing this song, though the ratings have not been very good ;o( Unfortunately I never write down my arrangements, so it is not possible to give you any score or tablature. Thanks again, my friend.

[vietnt2]

The ratings just have not been good yet. I believe it would be well as what you share us is really great :-). I love the bass on this arrangement, still enjoying your performance now.

[vikingwooduk]

Watching you playing this song and then listening to Fallen inspired me to act out my mid life crisis and I rushed out and bought a Luis Romero Classical! It cost me a small fortune but as long as you keep posting I'll keep trying to play. You look like you are having so much fun and all I am getting is pains in my finger tips!! I have no one to teach me but I am trying so 'gracias mi amigo' ;-) Mike (UK)

[chamacojesus]

Well, you've done my day, my friend. This is the best comment I've ever had !!! I don't know how to encourage you with your new guitar, but ask ne anything you need: scores, materials, advice... whatever. Be sure I'll be posting videos for a long time... at least until I can watch your first video. Thanks a lot for this sudden gift and keep practicing (fingertips pain goes away in a couple of days)!

[hidehi1000]

Beautiful! I used to listen to this song over and over when it was first released and have very fond memories of it. :o) Hearing you play is such an inspiration...so much so that I'm even thinking of picking up my own guitar again after many years in hibernation!

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, Heidi! So.. did you play the guitar in the past? What are you waiting to ttake it up again???? I did it just a couple of years ago, but in fact I didn't play since I was a child! It's such a grateful and satisfying hobbie... Don't hesitate. Hugs, my friend.

[hidehi1000]

Yes, I have an acoustic guitar. I have never played to a high standard and certainly nowhere near as good you, but I did enjoy it so perhaps its time to blow away the cobwebs (joke!) and see what I remember! Many thanks for the encouragement!! :o)

[uTubeMiester]

Very beautiful ! BRAVO !! I am a big fan. Thanks for sharing your talent. May I know the brand of the guitar you were playing?

[chamacojesus]

Sure! It is and old Contreras C6 (1996). thanks a lot for your words, my friend. I appreciate them especially on this video (I've been tempted to delete it due to the low ratings...).

[uTubeMiester]

I think it's beautiful specially coming from your nice spanish guitar so please dont delete it. What you might want to do is repeat the recording. I thought that you missed just a little bit in one part but overall it was a great effort and a beautiful piece. Man, that last chord was difficult... now how could you spread your fingers that far??

[chamacojesus]

Thanks again! Well, unfortunately the following day to post sa new video I'm not able to play a single note, I forget it instantly. I suppose it is such a great effort to get the arrangement, memorize t and practice it to play it decently that I only want to forget it as soon as possible. In addition I've got no time at all to write down the arrangements so... they all are gone...

[chamacojesus]

Regarding the fingers reach, we al know the theory: te secret is to accompany the hand with your wrist, elbow and shoulder, but it is easier to say than to do ... ;-) Did you see my list of guitars? I sent it to you a couple of days ago...

[uTubeMiester]

Yes I got the list. I misunderstood. I thought you meant a list of recommended guitars bec I want to buy one. Local guitar stores in the USA barely stock the exotic spanish guitars. The best I've tried is a Ramirez 4E which is a high-end student guitar selling for $3500. I need one soon for. I just settled for a Takamine TH5 $1550 new from eBay. I will buy a good one when I go to Spain on vacation. I'm hoping you can recommend a store. Thanks. -Alex

[chamacojesus]

Alex, you've got two great ideas: 1) To come to Spain on vacation and 2) To buy a guitar here. You'll never regret any of them. Let me know when those ideas are close to come true and what cities will you visit. Be sure I'll help you to find what you're looking for.

[uTubeMiester]

Yes I will keep you in mind when its time to buy an exotic spanish guitar. In the meantime, I have my SLG120NW (not sold in USA so I ordered from Canada) and the Takamine for my lessons. I envy your playing but it inspires me to take classical lessons. Can I request "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder? Your "Lately" arrangement is really fantastic!

[chamacojesus]

Overjoyed? Sure, great idea. I'll note it down.

[midknight]

that was art! simply magnificent... Wonderful, thank you for sharing that..

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, my friend, it is apleasure to receive such a positive feedback. Thanks for watching, commenting, favoriting, subscribing....

[27dayin15]

Applause! beautiful

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot for watching and favoriting, my friend

[witchshady]

que se joda...I wish I could play like you!!!! You are truly amazing...a very emotional interpretation...i can hear the melancholy in every note you hit on the guitar...mantener el buen trabaho! I AM NOW YOUR BIGGEST FAN! Feliz Navidad...

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, my friend. I love the multilanguage comments, especially if they are as kind as yours. Welcome to my videos, my friend, and Feliz Navidad also for you!

[CozyZyco]

God, very outstanding, breathtaking.... this guitar play really hit me spot on, your virtuoso performance put the great feeling on the song!!!

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, my friend. This is a videoI really like, but it is my worst rated video, so I appreciate especially these kind of comments. Thanks a lot for watching and for those kind words. Happy Christmas, by the way.

[guilsi81]

HOLA JESUS, QUE GUSTO CONOCERTE Y MUCHO MAS ESCUCHARTE.....NO TENIA LA FORTUNA DE PODER ESCUCHAR TUS IMTERPRETACIONES PERO LA CASUALIDAD ME HIZO ENCONTRAR TU PUBLICACION....ES EXCELENTE....FELICIDADES, YO SOY AFICIONADOA A TOCAR Y CANTAR, PERO SIEMPRE HE TENIDO GANAS DE ESTUDIAR Y APRENDER LO CLASICO COMO ESTO QUE HACES( y muy bien)DIOS CONSERVE TU DON....SALUDOS DESDE PACHUCA HIDALGO MEXICO....

[chamacojesus]

Como siempre digo, cerca mío siempre hay sitio para un mexicano más. Mil gracias por tus palabras y bienvenido a mis videos. A ver si pronto vemos alguno tuyo! Un abrazo desde España

[AnchoriteProductions]

Excellent arrangement and performance Jesus. Beautiful tone from your classical guitar here too! 5* -Derek

[chamacojesus]

Thanks Derek! well, I'll never achieve the extraordinary sound of your videos... would you tell me your secret some day?

[Soeldner6]

Very Supero Bravisimo :-)

Thats a Cool Technik

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting, Mario

[azathot228]

que onda jesus!!!

en definitiva es hermosa tu interpretacion!!!

nada como una tarde tranquila y con algo de lluvia para disfrutar de esta melodia...

bravo de nuevo... y oye... a ti no te gusta la musica de sergi vicente??? creo que la interpretacion que harias de su suite intima seria un deleite!!!

saludos desde mexico

Roberto Q.

[chamacojesus]

Muchas gracias Roberto, me alegro mucho d que te gustara. No conocía la música de Sergi, ka verdad, pero he buscado algún video y realmente es muy agradable. Ahora tengo dos o tres piezas por delante planificadas, pero no descarto aceptar tu sugerenica. Gracias por hacerla y un saludo desde España

[marco4830]

Muy lindaaa!

Maravilloso!

[chamacojesus]

Grazie Marco!!! Espero revisitar pronto tu segunda versión de Estate, porque la primera ya me gustaba cuando la asesinaste.... Un abrazo

[taquechespichel]

exelente...como siempre para mi este si se chinga al naudo

[chamacojesus]

Muchas graicas, amigo. Bueno Naudo es un hombre atractivo, sí, pero para chingarmelo..... no es mi tipo, jeje. Yo mismo estoy suscrito a él porque si bien como guitarrista no es el estilo que más me gusta, como arreglista de temas es simplemente insuperable. Es un gran cumplido, amigo, mil gracias.

[13crickets]

Chamacojesus, Con mucho gusto, mi amigo. Sí, soy botánico primero, entonces compositor. Tristemente, mis dedos no pueden tocar todo que oigo en mi cabeza.

Ron

[13crickets]

Excelente. La música es hermosa y el guitarrista es excelente.. Cinco estrellas. Gracias Rigo por enviar este vídeo.

Ron

[chamacojesus]

Mil gracias a ti por el amable comentario. Botánico y compositor? Extraordinaria mezcla, amigo!

[albamaria54]

Por supuesto que resulta atractiva una persona tan luchadora, me encantan los temas de guitarras, muy buena interpretación, gracias Rigo por compartirmela

[chamacojesus]

Muchas graicas por el comentario, albamaria, y a ti Rigo por compartirla.

[rebeccaaldred]

Heya Jesus,

Wow what a beautiful arrangement. It sounds so nice. 5 stars :). Rebecca. x

[chamacojesus]

Thanks Becka! I remembered how I loved this song when I heard your fantastic cover, and I decided to make the arrangement. You go on inspiring me, my friend. Thanks for your support.

[112358miau]

Naa, tu ni caso, que esta muy bien. Quiza demasiados graves, pero eso ya es cosa de la grabacion. 5/5, un saludoo.

[chamacojesus]

Muchas gracias, David. Hombre, supongo que igual que estoy más que acostumbrado a recibir los elogios, tendré que aceptar igualmente las críticas y ver qué ha fallado. Muchísimas gracias por tu apoyo.

[112358miau]

Nadie ha dicho que sea un fallo XD. Cada cual a su bola, lo que si, tocas muy bien, a ver si me animo yo a colgar preludio criollo, por ejemplo, que la estoy intentando,pero es muy dificiiil!! XD Un saludo

[Rodrilechan]

hola, pues aunque no se mucho de guitarra clasica o temas como este, ya que me lo recomendo rigo... seguro lo conoces,

se escucha bien chido y te salio muy padre, yo tambien quiero aprender a tocar algo de este estilo.... haber si subo algo de lo que mas o menos se.

saludos desde mexico!

[chamacojesus]

Mil gracias Rodrigo! No dejes de mandarme el video si te animas a subir algo. UN saludo desde España!

[drucila56]

Muy buen video chamacojesus, buenisima interpretacion!

Increible que este tan mal calificado, posiblemente un "sordo" (con respeto a los que tienen este problema)se paso y de mala leche te jugo mal.

Un saludo hasta la Madre Patria

[chamacojesus]

Vaya vaya, Ivet, hacia tiempo que no te oía. Muy agradecido.

[souellette22]

I myself, like this video because your timing is good, it is clear, and you come across as confident...it shows in your playing. Good job! Scott

[chamacojesus]

I love this boy

[troubleclef]

very nice. can't understand all those low ratings! 5 stars from me. never heard the song before. thanks.

[chamacojesus]

Yes, I was a bit upset and tempted to delete the video... until your words. Thanks a lot, my friend.

[Qpidon]

indeed, this is exellent..!

[chamacojesus]

Pascal, muchas gracias. Fíjate si llego a grabar el CD, jajajaja. Me lo tiran a la cabeza, jajaja. Mil gracias otra vez, amigo

[Qpidon]

de nada. es realmente bella.

[mndi89]

how many times do i have to tell you, you're great lol. Great job

[chamacojesus]

None! Just tell me you like it, and that's enough! A very very big thanks

[chamacojesus]

Mucísimas gracias, Antonio. La próxima vez en lugar de un mostrenco tocando en su habitación pongo unas fotillos de Beverley dando vueltas por la piscina.

Oye, y a ver si es verdad que nos vemos, que tu parroquia te echa de menos... Gracias otra vez

[RememberMe1003]

How beautiful! I don't remember her or this song at all, but it's wonderful. Bravo on your new video...thanks Jesus!

[chamacojesus]

Thanks a lot, Christine! Check any of her videos and you'll find all of her tunes are fantastic... Thanks a lot for your support, my friend, and remember you owe me something...

[RememberMe1003]

Hola amigo de guapo, I sent you two emails last week..didn't you get them?  Can I request Aguas de Marco (Jobim/Elis) or Umbrellas of Cherbourg, If I Could (Pat Metheny), Baubles, Bangles & Beads (Eliane Elias), Let's Fall in Love. Would any of those work for you? I would also love anything classical that you choose. ;-D

[Rigobarrios]

Amigo, muy bien!

Ahora mirar tus videos se ha convertido para mi, cultura musical popular, como veis no conosia este tema, bien por subirlo.

Sabes, comprendo lo de tu guitarra hay siertos momentos en los que no hay mucha fuerza jeje...

Oye lo sildes en la cuerda 6, creo que estan muchomejor en la silent no crees? Bueno eso es mi opinion, ya sabeis mi calidad que no es ni a la mitad de la tuya. Pero creo que ahora hay que decir todo no. Tu lo tendras que hacer conmigo.

Saludos y abrazos

[chamacojesus]

Gracias Rigo, ya sabes que intento subir cosas un poco distintas. Tengo un poco mareados a los suscriptores, jeje.

Con la guitarra me volvéis un poco loco, ahora parece que queréis la Silent, en fin, nunca sabes cómo acertar. Esta no es mi guitarra nueva, sino mi vieja Contreras, que aún funciona, aunque tiene u sonido bastante apagadillo. Por supuesto que prefiero que seáis sinceros (aunque quizá luego me arrepienta...). Muchas gracias por tu apoyo, amigo.

[Qpidon]

SUPER CLASS PLAY, Jesus!

Otro video tuyo que voy escuchar cada dia, seguro.

Fav's y un millon de estrellas.*************(Tu areglo es una maravilla y tu juego un regalo para la mente...sepas que adoro tu juego)

Otra cosa: deberia pensar seriamente de grabar un CD. En serio.

Pascal

[chamacojesus]

Pascal, que exageradamente amable eres, hombre (me encanta, jeje). Te lo agradezco infinito, si no tengo tu comentario no duermo tranquilo, jajaja.

Respecto a grabar un CD, grabo montones.... ;-) Un fuerte abrazo

[miguelfugen]

good job...

[chamacojesus]

Thanks for your support, my friend.

[hyperboreal]

Fantástico arreglo Jesús, como viene siendo de costumbre. La canción la conocía pero no a la autora, después de ver el videoclip y leer tus comentarios coincido totalmente, es REALMENTE atractiva la muchacha :)

Por cierto, tu video se oye algo saturado de bajos, puede ser el reverb? Impresiones mías.

Te condecoro con cinco estrellas y hasta la próxima ;)

[chamacojesus]

Mil gracias Alex! Recuerda que yo la vi primero! En cuanto a lo de los bajos, efectivamente tengo que hacerme una limpieza de bajos, jeje.... La verdad es que presto demasiada poca atención al tema técnico y llevas razón que a veces te llevas sorpresas... Coincido contigo, está saturado. La sexta en Re tampoco ayuda... Gracias otra vez.
