Greensleeves

[InEwigenBahnen]

Skyrim FTW!

[SpookyJohnathan]

Greensleeves is best played on harp by Merlin in a sports jacket.

[ninjastar35]

OMG. Youtube has done it for me again. Ever since I was a kid I have LOVED this song, but I never knew what it was called or who composed it, etc.. I never really took the time to research it either, I just knew I liked it. Of course, I had no clue what to expect before he began playing. After the first 4 notes I was just humming along. FREAKIN AWESOME!! Now I know the title and some history behind it. Freaking cool...

[butterstickdelux]

This tune always makes me want to go watch the old redwall cartoons

[Michajeru]

Beautiful absolutely beautiful. I come from Jerusalem, I'm sitting in Sydney Australia, and I'm listening to this fabulous music. I love it - music is the international language!

[misslebarage81]

Play freebrid!

[507dannyfe]

I like it. I still think that Harpo Marx should go down in History as the world's greatest Harp Player.

[koolaidolio]

Great! Now play the Elder Scrolls theme!

[joebstarsurfer]

lets rock only in America).He should have elf ears.

[ilovetodraw555]

You shall not pass!

[gypolike]

[CardinalPugwash]

Beautiful.

[ThePhilBear]

WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is SEXY!

[DAANTAELON]

That guy scares me, he is like an evil druid magician about to slash my ass with magic bolts XD

[tshdksjm]

oh my god this harp gentleman looks like real celtic fairly.I have seen some pictures of celtic fairly like him.

[EverythingBot]

this man makes ladies moist with the sound of his mighty harp

[iheartmortus]

Wearing a headset at full volume. 0:19-0:22 FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[fknclarky]

@iheartmortus I am laughing my ass off....

[kevinwhitehead]

0:36 Hello. huff huff im gandalf

[Kostagh]

Now that's totally awesome! A Masters' Master! Great! OUTSTANDING!

[punchdrunkatheist]

You can actually ignore my other two comments, the history alone makes this worthwhile, then he plays it amazingly. This is just great all around.

[punchdrunkatheist]

Back on topic... This is my favorite song.  I love this.

[johnny7quest]

This guy is very masterful on the harp ..... great song to be played on the harp, nice rendition.

[DivineBanana]

damn i didn't know dumbledore was soooo good at the harp!

[punchdrunkatheist]

@DivineBanana Of course he is. You obviously missed where epic white beards loop with epic white hair to make +500% harp skill.

[kahochan13]

@DivineBanana I was just about to comment that :D

[PrismaticDemi]

Its old Obi-Wan Kenobi with long hair :)

[kawachimpuca]

dumblendore

[raulox71]

[ZidaneFTW]

Masterful playing.

[highlandlaura]

[highlandlaura]

nice arrangement adn variations.

[Brengor69]

I play the guitar and don't know those songs ye're talking babout, and I don't need to. I beleave it's the same f or EVERY instrument!

The harp existed quite before the tunes ye said!

Tá sé sin agus tá sé seo!

[TheBirdMamma]

this is a great version of greensleeves! probably the purest sounding I can find

[DihDianinha]

De Boca Aberta... Amei

[penelopepitstopd1]

Beautiful! thank you so much!!!

[neirfane]

A critique. At the beginning of the video, add that thingy that lets you skip to the music. Some of like to listen to this over and over, and don't always want to hear the commentary. :D

[vvvwwwvvveee]

@neirfane like me:)

[Garesque]

you kiding ?? it's an elf !!! looks like my french teacher

[Garesque]

you kiding ?? it's an elf !!!

[sadalite]

wow, this really got me in the mood for Christmas, and its just October 2nd. I know what Youtube video I'll be listening too after Thanksgiving. But I hope you won't mind that I'll skip to the music ;-)

[maxwel2543]

now thats how you play the harp, the chicks on youtube can learn a thing or two from him

no of fence to you other harpists but this is the best i seen on youtube so far

[Ysspiano]

this guy looks like dumbledore

[emergencyCALL911]

The lyrics to this song make me think of that awful modern song "Grenade". Needless to say this version of "How could you ditch me after all I did for you?" is much preferable.

[TheAudibmw]

Apparently king henry the eighth wrote that song just a bit of history for you

[pinky93rocksm]

i fell in love with greensleeves when he started 2 paly it no kidding

[karazeetomable]

Are you a wizard?

[harpertasche]

@karazeetomable No, not a wizard, just a druid. :-)

[rnasap]

These days, we seldom hear something so beautiful.

[royalmaster203]

may the angels of music stay always with you

[effekt59]

I get shivers when I hear this song played, and you play it so wonderfully. I'm just starting to learn this song, so I am on my way to being a card carrying harpist :) I haven't learned Danny Boy or Pachelbel's Canon in D but I have the music for those, so I'll be working on those soon. Thank you for the inspiration!

[clorosil]

Conta uma lenda Que Greensleeves FOI Composta Pelo rei inglês Henrique VIII (1491-1547). A lenda, comunique Que Henrinque um parágrafo VIII fez uma amante e futura SUA rainha consorte Ana Bolena. Ana rejeitou como tentativas de Henrinque de seduzi-la e ESTA rejeição e aparentemente um Opaco si, comunique nd canção, Quando o Escritor fazer amor "Vazio".

[thekingjacob100]

do you strum with your fingers or your finger nails (not a harp player)

[harpertasche]

@thekingjacob100 I use the finger pads of my left hand to pluck the strings (playing the low notes) and use the fingernails of my right hand (playing the high notes). Several types of harps are played using just the finger pads, several other types of harps are played using just the fingernails.

[BillyVanHelsing]

GREATEST HAIR EVER

[LeszekEl]

cut your hair

[PrawnEyedCorella]

So so beautiful. I admit I welled up :P

[kmph59]

@PrawnEyedCorella well said.

[samuel96100]

I like his other tune 'Yah Mo Be There! ' lmao :0)

[TheCesarin1979]

oohhh my God......Gandalf is Alive........greetings from Ecuador....

[ThePinheadsMilos]

what's that thing he plays on the organ at the beginning of the video

[internationalartists]

@ThePinheadsMilos Intro to the Crescendo! TV show upon which this clip was aired - J.S. Bach Sinfonia to Cantata No. 29 We Thank Thee, God, We Thank Thee

[D2Ci]

@ThePinheadsMilos

It is BWV 1006. Violin sonata in E major or;

BWV 1006a. Lute sonata in E major.

[153tinkerbell]

i could get lost in this song forever!love this version

[Osottoso]

the harp player seems like a elf in "The Lord of the Rings"!! LOL

[Sanaeenfermeria]

Please, let me say this (besides the music).... What a beautiful hair!!! :)

[dragonedorato]

this isn't a normal harp, isn't it? ... there are 3 orders of strings!.... is it a baroque harp?

[internationalartists]

@dragonedorato It is a cross-strung harp, meaning there's a string for every note - including accidentals.

[superfe73]

om word i loved tht i fell asleep to it ur brilliant dude

[schwarzfalk]

this tune is my favourite version of Greensleeves :)

[SetSailToLandOfFail]

Fantastic playing.

I also enjoyed the explanation of the song.

[Koenigzkind]

very very nice ! i love it, it have so much soul

[BigSmyl]

- no speak

- play!

^^ nice video

[dragnos79]

OMG! your awesome!!!

[tacksmoving]

Very nice. Thank you.

[WildWilde]

Wow I got chills down my spine

[AdrienneTroise]

So beautiful!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR POSTING!!! LOVED IT especially the explanation in the beginning in addition to the expert playing!!

[AdrienneTroise]

So beautiful THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!! Loved the explanation in the beginning!!! Very informative!!

[audiotrax2000]

Whoa...that is really nice twist on the traditional chords around 4:20. Never heard that done before, and it was very unexpected. I didn't know you could do those kinds of voicings on a folk harp.

[yamaharxz]

Damn... that harp player dude looks like warrel dane

[LucienProvencher]

Is that jazzy middle part in some kind of whole-tone scale?

[XoXoBlackCrowXoXo]

Lord of the rings?

[TonyMcWatt]

I laughed at your hair and beard.

I am ashamed.

[Approxia]

Awesome.

[highestcount]

Very, very nice! Thanks for that.

[sonicnumanuma]

This is sweet. I'm subscribing to the podcast now.

[bethfetterman]

DUDE! YOUR JACKED OUT OF YOUR F***ING MIND!!!!!!!! That was awesome, I loved the progression into more complexity. I particularly liked the beginning of the third part, that part you're not used to hearing, when it starts out lower, goes up, then surprises you with that arabian kind of twist downward or something, hitting a minor or something at 4:28

[muffinprincess12]

OMG dude u rocked that thing hellz yeah

[MrBigLlama]

i like bands like hardcore bands like chiodos pierce the veil and devil wears prada and i love greensleeves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aguacun]

Hermoso!

[Karlshahverdians]

Awesome

[mystro810]

This song sounds so full and vibrant on a harp

I am a Rock fan first and foremost. I love Led Zeppelin, Guns n Roses, Metallica, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Nirvana ect. I believe Greensleeves is the most beautiful song in the history of mankind. It just goes to show a great song is a great song no matter whence it came

[AlsatianCousin]

Great example of showing the two schools of playing this great surviving piece of nostalgia from the pre-baroque and combining them to one. The cross-stringing iswhat caught my eye besides the amazing playing and sound, - quite extraordinary, I had no idea that was done with harps. Anyways, a wonderful treat :) Thank you.

[vehrkalia]

what a beautiful harp, what kind of model is it?

very beautuful arrangement, great harper tasche!

[harpertasche]

I'm playing a Rigel model harp (61 strings, stave back) made by Blessley Instruments of Vancouver, Washington.

[sluge44]

@harpertasche well done...

[balkoth1984]

Less talking and more playing would have been nice. Nevertheless a nice version.

[ballinthecity]

uauu

[musingabout]

Loove his improvisation!

[reckIess]

is that john virgo playing the organ at the beginning?

[internationalartists]

No, that is Mark Andersen

[sperminator21]
