Ommadawn part two

[GaryGuevara]

This is one of my absolute favorite Mike Oldfield pieces. It is fantastic to see you play it so perfectly. Excellent work!

[starfrancis]

Good work. I use to listen to your music while I work. I create a queue with your videos and listen to all of them... Very good

[llanbradach]

@starfrancis , Thank you, I'm glad you like what I play.

[blakes7fans]

Still L337 :)

[BadSpeech]

Amazing! Ommadown is my favorite MO and watching you play this section just reminded me of that.

[jamiejoh04]

Wow!

[hhgygy]

Absolutely fabulous. I love all your renditions of Mike Oldfield

[MegaJinsei]

compliment for this tune

now I go to sleep, in Japan is 2:40 a.m.

[TheCamelFactor]

Beautiful, best posts on youtube since it opened. Your interpretations of Mike Oldfield's music are undoubtedly the finest works I've heard, To be frank I wouldn't have believed this piece was possibly to play on one guitar,

Thank you for the joy you have given me over the last year since I uncovered your posts, have to admit to visiting your posts of Mike's music every week for over a year.

[owaing23]

excellent...do you do little wing?

[freeblade99]

Such a fine work, sounds just like the Mike Olfield I love... Amazing it only took you a few weeks, it would've taken me months...

[bubbamc119]

Very nicely done sir.

The art of transcribing note for note is dying, hopefully this inspires those new to it to give it a try!

[gruntgrunt8]

Awesome! Played well. Sounded great.

One of the best snippets from my favourite Ommadawn. Will revist for further listening.

Thank you.

[Likiti]

still coming back weekly for 'me fix... thanks...

[katsaprokos1]

BRAVO MY FRIEND AND THANK YOU,WHO'S ''CLEVERS'' NEGATIVE VOTE IS????PANOS FROM GREECE.

GREAAAAAAAAAAAT!!! 

[geminibuzz]

awesome.

[attilahypnotist]

Wonderfully done. Love Mike and this was fantastic. Thank you.

[gibderfenson]

few weeks?I'm impressed,is it standard tuning?

[llanbradach]

@gibderfenson , No this is not standard tuning, the thick "E" string is tuned to "D" and the "D" string is tuned up to "E".

[gibderfenson]

@llanbradach strange tuning,I never met it before,did you figure it out by ear too?

[llanbradach]

@gibderfenson , Yes I figured it out by ear by realising that his fingers couldn't be so high up the neck and play low bass notes, suddenly it all clicked together once I understood how the tuning.

[gibderfenson]

@llanbradach any chance you made a tab for it? I'd love to play that .... or I'l figure you out by ear and sight :D

[buzzegg2000]

What a beautiful arrangement taking on the uilleann pipes and guitar. watched this several times

[emptyomg]

¡ Eres buenísimo !

[leoncm100]

[EntropiaMusic]

Great work mister , on a great tune ! Congs !

[dreamlandtreemusic]

It's one of my favourite Oldfield tunes, and this is a beautiful, faultless performance: well done Sir!

[lifeson46]

beautiful. Iv'e been playing for 30 years and could never figute out how to play his acoustic stuff

[perihelion74]

This was really, really good. Very well played. Impressive! Do you use a different tuning?

[llanbradach]

@perihelion74 Thanks for your comment, tune the thick "E" string down to "D" and the "D" string up to "E".

[szekelymihai]

that means you slowly but perfectly understood what a genius is Mike Oldfield :P

Great playing!

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Oh shit I always assumed that was two guitars!

Wonderfully played.

Thank you very much for the video response, Maestro! :)

You are very cute. Fine playing! I like it all!

[cozzykim]

I'm stunned that you've produced what is a multi instrument piece so beautifully on a single guitar! A masterpiece in its own right.

One of the "In a class of his own" guitar players on YouTube.

[xenodrew]

beautiful . . .

[kevycanavan]

wow

[Avalon888]

Blimey, that's good.

Tell me, how did you learn this part? Did you get the tab or score from somewhere? If so please tell me where you got it!

Well done.

M.

[marls1965]

Very impressive.

What's the open tuning required to play this?

[Avalon888]

Mate, that's absolutely lovely.

What you NEED to do is get a web page up with your version of this tab on it so that we can try to play it as well as this.

More Please !!

M.

[lsdmadman]

Yowzah...i'm appalled!!! Thanky, this got me into trying to learn some Mikeage myself...any chance of more???

[munyones]

I'm left speechless. Wow!

[Coneman3]

Awesome. Sounds so like the record guitar work. Amazing technique you have. Lovely music too. I prefer Mike's more laid back (pensive?) music.

[Shivato66]

Magnifique!!! On voit l'amour dans la fidelité du son. Bravo!!!

[darkhorse23xx]

[etude1]

Lovely technique and interpretation

[llutubeguitar]

I don't know what's more amazing. Your playing or you having been able to sort out the music just by listening to it. Simply impressive. Hats off to you. More Mike Oldfiedl tunes please! Congratulations, you made my day! ;)

[narval77]

Impressive work. Please, we want more Oldfield's tunes!

May you try with Hergest Ridge... :)

Thank you for your music.

[clearskyblue]

Beautiful indeed

[kampestretube]

Oooooh!

Siempre quise ver tocar esta parte del Ommadawn; para mí, es una de las mejores cosas que hizo Mike, y la verdad es que esta interpretación es deliciosa

[onecanmadman]

Really enjoyed this, never used to listen to part 2 because I found the pipe sound annoying! Great stuff looks like you have spent a lot of time on this.

[narval77]

You get the spirit. Nice.

[oritxupolite]

Incredible !

[troubleclef]

oh man that is GOOD. took me a while to realize that there *wasn't* a piper in the room with you. It sounds so natural, even the timbre you get is right on!

[lillyvalleys]

I found this video by chance and couldn't stop from listening till the end. That was really beautifull :-)

[McKanzie]

Realy good ! Very nice Job ! Greets Mike

[dbintheflesh]

Excellent playing, and an excellent sound from that guitar. Well done, mate!

[geraberl]

Dear Sir, May I dub you Old Mikefield? I sincerely hope there is more to come, I could watch and listen to you all night. Truly fantastic.

[obi42]

Bloody hell! That's fantastic! :-)

[geraberl]

I'm with you on this one, this guy is effing oustanding

[vegaspeter]

Sensational playing, I am really impresed, Hope you will post some more.

[pauloveado]

It's interesting to watch a left-handed person play the guitar (although I am, myself, a left-handed guitarrist). He plays very well! Well done!!

[martiriobaby]

Amazing...it sounds like more than one guitar...better than Oldfield himself

[Captainjjb]

wonderful, many thanks.

[icecorescientist]

bloody excellent

[oldfieldnut332]

i never knew anyone could play that section, very well done

[jtchivers]

A wonderful piece of music wonderfully played! Shame Mike has lot his way.

[TubularBelle]

Great news, Mike is recording a new album due he describes as a return to his early roots and will be part clasical, and the fact that he has given himself three years to complete this project promises great things to come.

[robertjamaer]

Waouw, so good, so quiet - we want more ... - Merci

[Vreci]

So beautiful played

Mein Kompliment, Wolfgang

[Radi0act1v]

Incredible !

[olracuk]

just lovely.

[Jerrysimonsimon]

Wow that was wonderfull!!

[scottishwildcat]

Sounds like the theme from Trumpton to me...

[Toymangenie]

Very nice. More please.

[saintjug7]

brilliant playing - sounds just like Oldfield playing

[ckerr1983]

Excellent Guitar work, i love that piece.

[jgower]

Beautiful! One of my favorite segments from one of my favorite albums, played marvelously. Bravo.

[AndanteLargo]

From one left handed to another: thats great! Wow. Do you have standard tuning here?

I'm off to hear Tommy Emmanuel tonight i Copenhagen! :-) This is a good "warm up" to that. Beautiful.

Peo

[djdaedalus42]

I think it's modified DADGAD : CGDGAD. Good place to start, I'm finding.
