Peter Finger - Vive la Vie

[sammyenjosh]

OMG

[GitesJNG]

@sawah222B it's a lakewood

[sawah222B]

Anybody know what kind of guitar he's playing?

[eosdelb]

As I write this I think of other things that mke me forget the thing I meant to write. God you can play! I can't think straight. Classical music with steel strings? Jazz? What the hell are you playing? It tears my heart out but I can't explain it. Play it again!!!!

[Thekkingman]

@eosdelb he's playing life...



[IvanBorcin]

why the hell is the video fast-forwarded?

[op2o]

4:47



[zhora661]

i wanna his skillzz

[bnb67967]

Dang... Im speachless

[rogiermusic]

does remind me of Bamboule by Pierre Bensusan :)

[GitesJNG]

@rogiermusic Thought the same thing, but forgot the title was Bamboule :D

[madkris11]

especially ending :)

[madkris11]

this version is more emotional than album's version (from Flow) imho :))

[aminer3000]

Just wonderful!

[AcoustiColor]

Gestern live gesehen/saw him live yesterday in Gelsenkirchen, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany :] Don't miss such a chance :) It's great! So much fun!

[madkris11]

i saw him live today.:)

He's awesome!

[kambing2410]

This man really uses his last name

hahaha

[DiegoDuese]

wow...............

[DuskY1991]

Could anybody tell me wat model guitar support that is?

[Crankler24]

oh mein gott, wie der kerl abgeht bei 4:48...genialer gitarrist, bester fingerstyler mit tommy emmanuel.

zudem: hingen die 6 leute über kopf von der decke als sie den like-button gedrückt haben?

[killrlj]

i want this tab so badly......

[potatoepeter1]

I belive Tommy Emmanuel have something to learn. I begin from zero... oh shit...

5:00 begins

[potatoepeter1]

:-)

[potatoepeter1]

:-)

[DuskY1991]

This is epic like nobody's business!

[jerrysekCZ]

5 people clicked on the wrong button... :-\

[Jonaw91]

Love it so much! beautiful samba rhythm and from 4:49 it's so groovy:-)!

[IronPriest82]

My guitar playing has improved quite a bit in the last year but what really amazes me now with guys like this is not the only technique he has but how clean he plays...Is there a secret to playing clean or is it just time, practice and starting slow?

[FTR01]

Wave of energy roll over me in a constant precision of beauty. Post 4:48 is just flat out gnarly, cant even give words to describe it.

[rgt4all]

wow nice we know that if he was seen with a pick the apocalypse would come=)

[IronPriest82]

Amazing, this guy is awesome, just found him...any CD's I should get anyone???

[KillYouBefore]

"1:39" yeah^^

[Gitarrenfestival]

Am 29.10.2010 spielt Peter Finger Live auf dem 4. Hamburger Gitarrenfestival. Man sieht sich!

[2Heinz2]

Einfach ein Genuss

[viralinfection55]

Does anyone know where to get tabs for this

[MisterUtterson]

@viralinfection55 Don't even try ;-)

[Terada60]

[wemarry]

I cry QQ

it's so nice song

[NEVERTURNAWAY]

trop genial!

En effet vive la vie,

Pierre les doigts

et la guitare.

merci beaucoup forr ze post

[ijoan]

Unbeleevable ... His use of metal finger picks is shocking, considering the byutiful tone he is getting---wow.

[YamboMuzeek]

anyone notice he has some sort of stand that stands up the guitar above his knee and attaches at the top back side?

[HUNrobar]

Yeah I can see that.. I only saw one like this in one of Ewan Dobson's videos..

Anyway, amazing! He is the European Tommy Emmanuel!

[Faravid85]

You just gotta love 4,47 :)

[methodinsane]

Anyone know his pickup setup. I see a sunrise in that dar soundhole.

[WhatDaSausage]

You know, I really doubt the slideshow was "About" anything.

[humatak07]

Magnificent guitarist and instrument, so captivating am going to have to watch it again to see what the slideshow was all about.

[Djcwozza]

one of the best acoustic pieces I have seen or heard since I began playing... WoW!

[fender8808]

his fingers must be made from steel, hence his name probably!

[charlesfelixmagnus]

Guitar was amazing, but what the hell was the cheesy background switch for?

[J0sA1Ac]

so funky. so jazzy.

makes me wanna learn it. though i'm technically too far from this.

[fender8808]

i extremely doubt it...

[J0sA1Ac]

i'll take it as a compliment.

thanks.

[fabjan20]

My dad is better.

Lucas (son of guitar player Joep Lumeij)

[GinGinTopic]

Who cares?

"My son has the smallest ego!"

Oh, dear!

[Sheraton21]

wow, thats impressive, not something i could sit down and listen to, but it looks HARD

[charkiman]

genie- genio- genius

[guitarchitectural]

*Almost* as good as pierre bensusan :)

[killrlj]

never know that acoustic can be so rock like this

[loris760]

looks:  onorina place

[gitarfuzzi]

what a great number,peter finger,whow!! he plays this difficult number and it looks like so easy?? gratulation for this 1A video, blue box, an whith this good sound lg leo salzburg

[jsguitar]

What an inspiration!

[bdmentertainment]

Great playing!

Greets,

Bas de Meijer (Son of guitar player Gert de Meijer)

[Wuivert]

Hé Bas de Meijer! Waarom noem je jezelf 'de zoon van'? Heb je je pa nodig om jezelf te zijn?

[bdmentertainment]

Nee vriend Me pa speelde vaak samen met Peter Finger maar is onlangs overleden vandaar.

[Wuivert]

Spijtig dat je vader er niet meer is. Ik zal muziek gaan beluisteren. Groet,

Jeroen

[sernie92]

By the way, I just got this tab from an korean site. Only the note before 4:50. But it is enough

[sohanlou]

hi,by the way can you give the adress of this korean site..please please and thank twice

[Arminhothebest]

what the hell happend there in front of my eyes?

this is beyond genuis!!!

[TESOblivion4]

amasing, and lol! @ zebarbas

[Zebarbas]

Fuck, he must have sold his soul to play like this

[BloodOnTheRooftop]

Hahahahahaha you'r fuking right!

[TheMasterAchim]

@Zebarbas : you have no Idea about good guitar playing...Sounds like shit, speed playing is not everything...

[Zebarbas]

@TheMasterAchim LOL.

I watched your videos. You're all talk....

Look up portuguese guitarist Pedro Jóia for your entertainment and stop being an idiot on the webs.

[TheMasterAchim]

@Zebarbas :-) And i watched your videos, you seem to have no Idea about anything...

[FTR01]

@TheMasterAchim undoubtedly speed playing is not everything, but this is incredible. I personally find it to be a very appealing composition. While you can play the guitar quite well, you are not even close to being at a level of playing where you can criticize this player.

[TheMasterAchim]

@FTR01 I know that I am not close to his ability and skills... But I can compare his playing to others people playing like David Qualey, Werner Lämmerhirt and Tommy Emmanuel. Werner Lämmerhirt also used Fingerpicks and his playing is much cleaner...

[FTR01]

@TheMasterAchim So? Since when has guitar become a competitive sport? This is the mans style, and this is his expression of beauty, he did not compose it to say he was better than any other guitarist, he is just stoked to be playing. To quote what you said earlier "Sounds like shit..." To say it strait: no one gives a shit, what a shit guitarist like yourself thinks. If you do not like a piece, hold that opinion to yourself or offer some constructive criticism.

[Pie2009911]

@Zebarbas just like robert johnson did

[grtheftapple]

Mann, Herr Finger. Wie Sie mit Ihren Fingern Gitarre spielen können! Toll !!!!!!

[jonasbacklund]

he's doing chords i've never even heard, greatest acoustic guitarist after robert johnson...

[hyutano]

peter finger is the greatest  guitarist of the world.

listen to the between the lines.

[Shirmia]

Bellísimo!!!

[bjordan73]

Thanks! Finger is up there with the best of fingerstyle. I've seen him perform twice, but don't think I've heard this one solo. I have the original CD but he plays with vibes and percussion. That cracks me up when they put him on the street corner though, and it looks like he's going to get hit by the bus LOL. Wacky Germans.

[rieders]

zum Glück hab ich auch diese Gitarre gewählt - jetzt kann ich das Stück wenigstest ansatzweise. Der Rest ist "einfach nur"//: Können, Üben,://

B.

[fwdyd]

ughh when he brings it back at 4:50 gives me pure chills

[mohflamenco]

wow quelle technique

[c3pbo]

This reminds me of Pierre Bensusan. Tunes like Bamboule or Santa Monica. That's pretty high praise I'd say

[LighTenD]

WOW!!! I fell in love with it!!!!!

AAAAA ! ! ! AMAZING!!! I love it!!

can some one please send me tabs/chords??please. . . :( couldn't find any.

simply wonderfull!!! I adore it!

[luxmanuel1987]

at 4:50 it's getting really sick ^^

totally respect that guy!

(please visit my channel ;) i play some guitar too)

[Ra8er]

Mensch mensch mensch da sieht unser Peter ja ma richitg gepfelgt aus! MEin Favorit von ihm ist Getaway, das ist wirklich Virtuos.

[neveruse513]

sick.

[AnchoriteProductions]

Peter Finger in awesome! And, another sweet sounding Lakewood guitar too! This piece is great. Thanks for the video.  Your videos are really well done! -Derek

[2xVitamR]

Das ist wirklich allererste Sahne. Grüsse aus dem Sauerland, Peter.

Michael

[callingeuterpe]

It was a beautiful response to Bensusan until it became an egotististic orgasm.

[grin60]

haha :D

[Jonas5Krawulsky]

does anyone here knows where to find tabs for this song?

[Jonas5Krawulsky]

does anyone here knows where to find tabs for this song?

[Jonas5Krawulsky]

hey peter finger!

its a lakewood M 32 cp right? but the cp version got a very nice pickup, why did you put an extra one on it?? Jonas

[joemadly]

you're my newfound God

[methodinsane]

anyone know what that pickup is? I presume that this isn't unplugged. I've a D-54 and want to know what pickup might sound good with it.

[bazmac06]

does anyone know where i can find a video of him playin neimansland? its an animal song!!

[gtrfinger]

Such a lot of volume from the lakewood M32. Good tune.

[gonzales8765]

astonishing

[badloser150]

Its wierd how similar this is to his song 101 south at points.

[jokers85]

excellent

i saw Peter with Tommy Emmanuel few days ago in Prague ... both of them are excellent musicians

[JanchaCR]

Hey!:) myslím, že po koncertu Tommyho se zvšilo vyhledáváné slovo Peter Finger na youtube a ip adresy jsou z Čech

[vikisek]

taky bych řek :) byl sem na tom koncertu taky a hned sem pak koukal jestli tady Peter nemá něco co tam nehrál ...

šopa, že byl ale ten koncert super :D ... jenom to nemuselko bejt tak hrozně nahlas ...

[JanchaCR]

hrozně nahlas? mě to přišlo dobrý, jak střídal intenzitu právě:) ale live to vyzní daleko líp než tady. To samý Tommy a initiation, na youtube je to dobrý,ale v reálu je to trans, neskutečný, drum solos taky o stopro lepší live:)

[vikisek]

tak to kažopádně ...

s tou hlasitostí, u petera to bylo v pohodě, ale u tommyho to bylo řek bych moc nahlas ... možná záleží na tom kde člověk sedí, byl sem dost vpředu takže to mažná bylo tim, ale i tak, s menší hlasitostí by občas mnohem líp vyzněla melodie ... třeba u pegaa sem umíral, ale umíral bych víc kdyby mi ta hlasitost nervala uši :D

mno hlasitost nehlasitost, furt to byl skvělej koncert a doufám že příští rok přijede znova

[JanchaCR]

taky doufám, přemýšlela jsem, že bych na něj jela i do německa třeba, nebo do rakouska nebo do polska:)

[vikisek]

taky sem o tom přemýšlel, ale spíš do toho Německa ... polsko mám dost daleko a rakušany nemám rád (sou na mě moc zelení...)

[JanchaCR]

Muže být, stačí říct:) tedko vážně, jela bych...

[jerrysekCZ]

s tou hlasitostí...asi jde o zvyk, protože mě to z první řady naprosto vyhovovalo :) a to nejsem hluchá :D jen zvyklá poslouchat hudbu nahlas :) akorát teda při Initiation to Tommy nemusel dávat na plný pecky :D zrovna přede mnou stál takovej mega reprák a v momentě kdy začal hrát, začaly nadskakovat židle :D

[kablooie267]

amazing

[lakeylove]

Reminds me a lot of "Bamboule" by Pierre Bensusan...

[koursioumis]

can anyone tell me witch model of lakewood is that?

[lakewoodguitars]

Hello koursioumis!

Well, that's the M-32 CP! :)

Cheers!

[IronPriest82]

@lakewoodguitars I'm moving to Italy in two days do you guys have a dealer in country? I'm looking for an acoustic with cutaway like this, any idea (average) on the cost?

[acousticland]

impressionante. Una citazione e strizzatina d'occhio al bensusan con un condimento virtuoso da paura.

..mazza.

[kevsatan]

nice trop bon QC

[katarzis27]

beautiful

[tamcookies]

DANG THIS IS COOL!

[Nickflatpick]

Yeha !!! So beautifoul pice !!!!

[dosgamos78]

Mamma mia! Che chitarrista!! Gli ultimi due minuti sono pazzeschi!!

[pachacamacs]

Incredibly beautiful. A great master !

[ZorroOfTomorrow]

I'm surprised he can get such a warm sound using steel finger picks. Not something most guitarist use

[LassieRF]

Such an incredible tune. It just draws me in, especially the last 2-3 minutes. Wow!

[UdoKamjunke]

Hallo, Peter, einfach nur gut. Und - danke für Dein tolles Konzert in Köln, es war ein Genuss. Beste Grüße, Udo Kamjunke, Sitar tv

[4ndre87]

I saw this guy live in hamburg, he is so friendly, talks to the audience and got a very big programm. He is definetly one of the best acoustic guitarist on this planet.

[Woohoo42]

I really like the part at 4:45. if you like this you should check out Andy Mckee!

[spheenx]

Maybe one of the best, but not the best. Check out tommy emmanuel. He will pale this guy.

[enzopellarini]

I need this as a tab, has anyobody this tab ?

[cartoonage]

also das sind natuerlich 5 Sterne.

Bist ein wahrer Grossmeister, es war

super !

[5yn]

does anyone know the tuning? i guess it's

E - B - e - g - a - d1,

but it sounds cruel when i try to play the same chords.

I wanna play the part at 5:47 till 5:54, can someone help me?

[Gfnie]

No wonder it sounds cruel^^ EBEGAD is the tuning most often used by Peter, true. But for Vive la vie he uses DAEGAD.

[Gfnie]

Or btw just read 0:07-0:12...

[toonstegen]

Peter finger said he only plays his ryan guitars

[spheenx]

well I guess that ain't the truth.

[IAMTHEREAPER123]

Check out "Colors of the night" CD. The way it is produced makes you feel he is 2 feet away at any volume...simply incredible music and musician.

[tilmde]

Just great

[PB4U]

WOW! amazing guitar playing!

[abasabas]

WOW This is absolutly AWSOME... Wish I can play so well one day... Love your Sound... keep it up
