"Never My Love," fingerstyle guitar version

[softbluejazz]

Simply beautiful!

I play finger style guitar and I admire your touch and technique. It's a difficult and wonderful arrangement. I found myself spellbound watching and listening. Thank you for sharing it!

[believis1]

I always loved the original. You have brought this song to another level with your style. I was blown away when I first watched your video...simply breathtaking! You feel the words in volumes as well....Thanks for creating this beautiful piece!

[birdcalledhope333]

This is beautiful. Thanks for posting it. 

[mandopiano]

Beautiful job. Thanks for preserving the integrity of this beautiful melody and using such tasteful accompaniment. (You might want to add in a B sus instead of the B chord you are using, and then play the B chord to resolve it.) Keep up the great playing!

[ColdToiletSeats]

nice

[Pedroskini]

Beautiful, sublime rendition of this classic song...Thank you for sharing your art, you are so talented !

[NENEMIX32]

[Onetruecowgirl]

WOW. How sweet...pure....relaxing. I could listen to this all day....just click "repeat" and I'll be a happy camper! Great song, and you did a lovely job with it. Thank goodness for YouTube so that you can share your blessed talent with the world. You did a wonderful job...thank you (great...now I have tears in my eyes.... ;)  ) I have played it 5 times back to back so far. I wonder if I could find the sheet music for my flute..Hmmm...

[guydreamr]

Simply beautiful, almost spiritual thank you for sharing

[aljabi2008]

so nice!! so beautiful. you are talented. thank you for posting

[clayLavl]

finally someone with some talent. it's like a breath of fresh air!

[ShelterDogs]

Any time a guitarist can make his own solo intrepreation of the song, it's quite a feat. And you really did wonderful job here. But in my opinion, I think that there isn't enough of that main riff in there. That's my favorite part of the song, and you really skimp on it.

[delasvegas]

This is actually the most beautiful version I've heard...even better than the original...

[LostDreamWaver]

Very Beautiful!!

P.S Can you give me tabs?

[josephairis]

Awesome Playing! Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[hollythekid0]

Brought tears to my eyes<3 I love this song. This is just so beautiful. You're amazing

[riverdale999]

Bravo!!!

[sgeadsewm]

Beautiful job...'really like the fingerstyle... Keep up the good work!

[ZorrosAngel]

Aww..very beautiful

[karlwho1]

I like that it's about the guitar and music and how you avoid being on camera as far as what you look like. Then i saw "yesterday" and could not believe how young you are. Good for you! In your 20's ?

[karlwho1]

Wow. Plain Wow.

[kavorka999]

Would love to hear you do Warmth of the Sun from the Beach Boys. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[mikezes]

Wow! This is beautiful! Thanks!

[filemen2]

sweet bruh!

[cuislemochroidhe]

Great! Thank you. :)

[cuislemochroidhe]

You're amazing. Too bad the embedding is disabled, I'd like to share this beautiful song with others.

[adrianholovaty]

cuislemochroidhe: Thanks! I've changed the video to allow embedding, so go right ahead.

[Hyde25]

Beautiful man...

[marvy1118]

Too much gain on the mic - it's distorting on my speakers at low volume. But a very nice arrangement.

[euphoricsurrealism2]

i love this song.. like to have it played on my wedding day (if ill be wed LOL). ur soo cool!

[guiterry]

That was EXCELLENT!!

[bentomful]

Cool Very nice

[MrSmokeydog]

Very clean and neat capturing the total essence of the song incorporating all the instruments and vocals into your wonderful rendition on acoustic guitar fingerstyle "sweet" business.

[shohom67]

This is cool!

[migue4lg]

Awesome!!!

[juzzSntime]

Great song, and great guitar. Keep it up you are so good at guitar.

[snowman7560]

[dohertykaki]

This is great!!! Nice work! K

[kheetet21]

wonderfully done! Really made me happy.

=)

This song really makes me feel inlove,specially when i heard you did a guitar version.

I also like the version of ilona knopfler.

Good work!

[b00mswitch]

beautiful!

[dex378]

[danielclayson]

I'd add quite a few more "very"'s to that

[paintedstables]

[philami1]

Great bass key work!

[jazzmanaz]

Awesome!!!.... just awesome. Thank you for posting

[bobgolfer]

I am a realatively new guitar player. You completely inspire me to keep improving. This is the most wonderful song I have ever heard on guitar. I played your video for 20 people in my office last week. You are a hero in Indy!! Thanks for this and all your videos!!

[classicalbunny]

This is such a strong arrangement. It's so well balanced between the melody line and the fills and runs. Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it.

[MontanaHorses]

Thanks for the fantastic interpretation... younger generations too often reject the music of their parents/grandparents, and it's too bad. Songs like this reflect absolute quality that is timeless, spanning the years and standing far above the crowd.

[hilary4prez2008]

I love you.

[leelleyah]

oh gosh. beautiful. I love this song.

can anyone tell me if this song's been in a movie? I know it has, but I can't remember which one.

[AllanOmarCastro]

It got me.

I felt it.

Thank you.

[calstate1111111]

i know you asked to not ask for a tab but if u can make one can you just send it to me please

[imnaturalee]

A romantic young man with an acoustic guitar playing some of the most touching songs. Thankyou for stirring the soul and heart.

[shadowclawish]

@imnaturalee lovethesong

[stalag28]

flawless!!!! i loved it!

[passingthrough321]

AWESOME...put it on replay 700 million times...

[StackChips305]

what tunning is your guitar in?

[zoopop22]

WOW!

[mikeysmom311]

This is so lovely! You've done a great justice to the group who made this beautiful song famous. Thanks so much for posting!

[twiggystick]

As someone else has said, you really capture the magic and emotion of a great number by a superb group. Wonderful!

[simplestrum]

It's always wonderful to see you play your guitar. Great job... on this and all your works. Thankyou for sharing.

[shaggyfretwell]

Excellent - nothing more to add - nothing more needed

[brendanseanbarry]

Nobody knows why certain melodies reach deeper inside us than others. Whatever the magic ingredient of 'Never My Love' is, you've succeeded in capturing it, like a ghost in a bottle, and it's a wonder to behold. Thanks Adrian

[xXNickxUchihaXx]

my gf just broke up with me. and this cover seems to be cheering me up. thank you and great job.

[kimrabb]

Bravo!

There is nothing left to say after hearing that.

[1dillontaylor]

sounds nice but its slower than original

[fog13]

WOW

[ppallein]

I have to rank you up there with Charlie Byrd, Chet Atkins, Los Indios, Earl Klugh, Lawrence Juber and all other great guitarists. I wonder why I don't see Adrian Holovaty CD's in the music stores? I saw the wedding ring and figured you want a normal life without the touring. Hopefully I will bump into you at workshop.

[Jono2905]

Adrian, I agree with the comments here. I started listening to the Beatles' If I fell, because I could never get the intro. Then discovered your Till There Was You and then blow me down Never My Love which I loved but could never admit because it wasn't very cool to be 16 or whatever and like that song! All of which is to ask if you have heard another song that gets me every time - Dance with Me, by Orleans. I think you will do a great job of picking it.

[pealover17]

Great work. I especially like this one but they're all wonderful.

[AllentheGuitarist]

I thkn you should look into being signed up for a lable or something man! You are so good! I've listened to every single one of your songs, and I lvoe them all!

[seventhwhistler]

Great song, great arrangement. Bravo

[MusicEd1]

What a beautiful arrangement! You are a fine and talented guitarist. I too am a finger stylist/guitar instructor for 26 years now and always keep my eyes and ears open for great arrangements of old and new favorites. I've always loved this melody and find it beautifully haunting for some reason.

Please, more beautiful arrangements, so that I can pick your brain. He - he - he (evil villianus laughter):)

[greennineteen]

beautiful!

[fiona1958]

You play this so beautifully. I am overwhelmed. It reminds me of Colin Blunstones version. You are a star. Thanks for this.

[michaeldarrah]

Very nice, I've always liked the melody to this song. Do you have any recordings available?

[davidcmather]

That was sweet!  Thanks!

[marinasoueu]

noossa...vc tem que me dar umas aulas...rs...

é muito bom ouvir você tocando!!

[kissfanjohn]

Great job! Love it! Probably the most underrated band in history! Lets see you work up ''Everything That Touches You''

[1koolrule]

Nice job!

Always wanted to play it. You song is great example.

Thanks

[tyoonz]

Is this your own arrangement? Where can this arrangement be had? I'm talking standard notation, here. Is it available online or in stores? WHERE?

[musicmatty67]

Bravo again

MusicMatty67 on Youtube

[FranzKlam]

Timeless song played so very well. Thank you

[mufasamusic]

Great arrangements and feel. More tunes please so I can cop your groove.

[tyoonz]

You really do play well, my friend.  Very clean sound and great efficiency...no wasted motion. Is that a custom model you play?

[linomerales]

this is a really great song, you do it ol' school i bet you get girls with this song. i always thought that this was a beatles song but it's not ; the association sings this song.

hippie music rox !

[deepaintpish]

I'm still learning/practising on the guitar and I know you never stop, but this is inspiring. If I could reach a standard like this with time, I'll die a happy man.

Quality stuff mate:-)

[blondes4mee]

AWESOME. What more can I say?

[Starrman69]

Thank you. Now I have a new association for this tune.

[tyoonz]

Was that pun intentional? :)

[Starrman69]

Ty, Just found your comment...yep. I saw them in concert, when I was a kid. Adrian does an excellent rendition

[vimmerman]

just great

[josephairis]

i wish i can play as good as you. you play with great feelings. wonderfull performance. this is a song i want to learn to play. thanks for sharing.

[bosnjak89]

Good video!

[lardasshogan]

Amazing performance and outstanding arrangement. Do you have Tabs for this arrangement?

[thequietbeatle]

Your performance was amazing. Made me download the song and I am working on learning this as well. What microphone do you use to make your recordings?

[Heartsdonthate]

I love listening to you play....just beautiful the way you've arranged these songs! Do you like Ed Gerhard? Give him a listen, you often remind me of his playing! Keep the songs coming.

[obib71]

[artosha]

Very nice. I will pick it up on the piano using your arrangement. I think it will be better suited for it. Compliments.

[Thibaut06]

amaaaaaazing! you should really make tabs of your arrangement!

[dowserdave]

Your music reflects the playing of someone who truly loves his instrument and has the soul to bring its voice to life.

You have a great gift.

Please keep playing.

[DarthVada]

Wow the quality of your guitar is great. It almost sounds like it's plunged in to get the extra "BOOM" when you go on the low string. lol nice i love it.

[shawnbenfield]

Awesome! I didn't know this was an Association song. I've only heard the Pete Yorn version. Love your work especially the Elliott Smith covers.

[allisonduffey]

Wow.

You're simply amazing. =)

[playmyyoyo]

if you guys really love it and wanna play it.. then just follow he's fingers. it takes a while, but if you really adore the song, and wanna learn it that bad. then follow, practice and believe in your self that you can do it.

im trying to learn how to play it... as we speak...

[itslikeberries]

This is serioulsy amazing. Im learning to play guitar right now, I just got one.

My highschool choir is doing this song. We sound amazing.

Just like this. :]

[kbillysupersounds]

Thumbs up.

[allieyyy]

[atitude17]

i cud sit and listen to you all day your music is beautiful. x

[musiclovindad]

What can I say that hasn't been said already? As a 50yr old man, I must admit that I fight back the tears whenever I hear you play this song... so does my 15 year old son! He started playing only 3 months ago and is already incredible!!! Our life's quest is now to find the tabs to play your version... I know you have stated that you are here only to entertain but if you ever come across the tabs for this song or decide to do them please let the world know. Thanks you for sharing your talent!!!

[kenny2923]

wow... (speechless)

[peekster0123]

[Furtis]

Nicely done.

[bigbergie]

[MrMagoo79]

So much talent dude! You're awesome. Do you know any John Denver?

[makemyday07]

[bartolemeo]

Beautiful instrumental, and I agree with you. That song has a hypnotic melody. I remember it from when I was very young.
