[matthewR77]

wonderful

[sirtophamhatt]

really nice performance of a good arrangement of an incredibly bittersweet song

[woodington08]

great job!

[nickandmikec]

What kind of classical guitar are you playing? Not that it really matters. It is, after all, the player and sometimes not so much the guitar. But that said, it remains an interest. Very very nice interpretation and beautifully performed.

Nick Campbell

[leoray1234]

I enjoyed your version of this great song...thanks for sharing

[xerosisonek]

Belissimo! Bravo!

[llanbradach]

Nice playing, I don't particulary like the song but I love the way you have played it.

[jcisbell]

I appreciate your comment. I am curious as to why you do not like the song. To each his own, but I've always thought it was a particularly nice and well written song. So, I'm curious.

[vernonore]

Very relaxing, 5 stars!

Fantastic rendition. I would like to hear more from you. Very lovely and moving.

[racine09]

captures many elusive subtleties of the song,

Great key for guitar also - nice work

[list55]

beautiful. you didn't manage to get the "tender" chord changes over at the end though. still, i forgive you.

[WalterBoruta]

Two wonderful things happened to me today:

1. I discovered the music of Elliane Elias

2. I discovered the excellent guitar arrangements of you, Mr. Barbato

Needless to say, I will be on youtube, a lot in the coming days, learning all of your beautiful arrangements. You are a musical genius.

[lric11]

Really, really beautiful.

I always listen to this when I'm in a reflective mood. It's so calming.

Thank you so much for playing this and putting it on youtube.

Beautiful. I have wanted to record this song for a long time and finally uploaded a version this morning. Then I noticed your version so I used the "Video Response" to connect with you, I hope it comes through. They are similar yet different, I hope you and your fans enjoy it. Thanks!

[orazio111]

Bello...ma chi erano quei ragazzi nel video con Bea che canta? e che facevano alle 7 del mattino a casa tua?...comunque non sei dovuto a rispondere e mi puoi anche dire di farmi una cartata di cazzi miei...eheheh

[lekakitsune]

Amo esta música e amei seu arranjo! Parabéns!

[ManfredDeJesus]

That's great!

I mean the song is hard enough to play on the piano! But on the guitar? Incredible

[allblues68]

Amazingly beautiful version.

Diana

[Jazzguitman]

Beautiful !tone/touch/timing/phrasing/vo­icings....Just great! Among the best versions I have heard.

Chris

[bellehaup]

Wow! Just surfin' the net and decided to check out some youtube videos and came across this and was blown away. Fantastic guitarist!!! Thank you, thank you.

[daveythecontrary]

that was one of my al time fave songs. i love your version of it. thanks.

[awtoftune]

QUALITY HOME MUSIC VIDEO- BRAVO !!!

[pentook]

なんていう優しい表現！

アルフィーという曲はクラシックギター１本でも十二分に表現でき­るんだな、と思いました。

テンポ、音の強弱のバランスがもう最高にいい。

これからも時々聴いていくと思います。とってもいい音楽をありが­とう。

[overlord74]

I hope you wrote something good!... :D

[pentook]

Thank you for your returning message to me!

I appreciate much mellow music given into beauty itself.

I'm Japanese man 30,I'm afraid I asked your identity of what nationality you are.

Anyway, I would listen more music your produce...GANBATTE SOSITE ARIGATOU!

[guitarslim56]

Gosh, that's so nice! Good camera setup, good recording, good reverb, good arrangement, good playing. You are an angel!

[amgent]

That was stunning.

So beautiful.

So well performed.

Bravo, my friend, bravo.

[number1covers]

Not bad, but you missed a few parts. See my band's version of "Look of Love" (at my youtube page) for a lesson on how to properly cover a Bacharach tune and, keep working!

[arnosiemons]

Jeez. You are an ugly person.

Why?

What made you so ugly?

Live and let live.

[number1covers]

I'd have to agree with your first comment. Not sure if it's genetic or due to a steady diet of whiskey and corn nuts.

As for the "live and let live" sentiment, I think we both know that's not gonna happen.

[auxigene]

hey arnosiemons.....i love the kind of person like u that......give themselves the right to criticize without bringing anything on the table :)..... get a life and....learn how to play...then....open it!

overlord74: 1000 times....amazing job. i love ur version!

[arnosiemons]

Hi, my comment was not referring to this wonderful guitarplayer and version of Alfie. I reacted to a very blunt person somewhere earlier in this comments section.

[auxigene]

ok...then......Sorry :) thanks for..answering!

cheers amigo!

[sansemoticus]

what r you two blabbering on about?

So what if he's not the best lookin' person on U2b and so what if there are some mistakes? this guy is good, have the decency to keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

[JesseGuitar07]

awesome!really sounds nice!

best wishes

JESSE

[Magamiam]

What a heartfelt version of a classic!!

Woul you please tell me the name of the interpreter? He's excellent!

Thank you very much!

Salutations from Mexico City.

[YOUWONTBELIEVETHIS]

jesus man please please please tab this for us mortals or post a lesson on here or something you owe it to mankind

[chitoampro]

Very good.Bravo.Salamat

[atenuotar8]

　いいね〜！　かっこい〜！

[piccolik]

grande.

[eschenazi]

Very sensitive !!! Nice!!!

[KvnPatrick]

Very beautiful, very moving interpretation.

[wordwan]

One of my ABsolute FAVORITES of Bacharach.

You've done an lovely, emotive version of that.

Rock on, son. Rock on. *grin*

Thanks

Heather

wordwan, what the word needs.

[yamazuki600]

Damn dude, I can dig this. smoooooooth.

[batmanyey]

do u sell cd's of your music? can i buy 1 please!  tell me where i can get it please!

[otnas01]

nice man!

[francisrb714]

really good!

[reholland38]

That was such a beautiful expression of my all time favorite song. Blessings to you.

[kraftigttossan]

Hi! I did a bad thing, I borrowed your exceptional version of the best song in the world. I just had to sing to it, I can remove it if you'd like that? Whach the video? sorry

[hanzzee]

Now that's an arrangement! That b9 in those last A chords! Whoa! Thanks and post more stuff like this please!

[Dmaj87]

wonderful! :D

[tenotoico]

muy hermoso. Muy hermoso!!!

[nalaallana]

Bravo!

[S34K1NG]

Perfect arrangement. I've tried "Alfie" myself on classical guitar, and somehow the song just sounds perfect in that medium. BTW, Bill Frisell's solo arrangement of "What the World Needs Now" is another beautiful marriage of guitar and Bacharach. But this is just as good!

[rockerecto]

beautiful

[rayshih2002]

wonderfully done, full of feeling in the music.

A+++!!

[iyes229]

Wonderful version.

[Keedeeg]

I stumbled onto this while watching my own Youtube performance of "Alfie". This is so beautifully done, I'm nearly in tears! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! One of my all-time favorites and I don't think I've heard it done any lovelier.

[sfpsrf]

yup, it's been already said but man was that a beautiful rendition...bravo!

[devonstokie]

this was one of the most beautiful peices of music i have ever heard,thank you

[nocterbalbulus]

bellissima zzio!

[kaitosanai]

so beautiful

[Velvet4U]

I just love the way you pause, before you start another phrase. Sometimes these pauses create a story, a conversation, as if someone is softly speaking to convey a deep feeling.

[tomyg2]

Lovely stuff, well done

[LeaningBear]

nicely played.

[gerardooo7]

so soft, so deep... could i get just the main chords from u :(..?

[chris21125150]

Love Burt Bacharach! Wonderful arrangement!

[m12prod]

Great, bravo.

[bracethefall]

you killed it! I liked it a lot...

[MrPalmer3]

That was fantastic!!! I don't suppose that you've have written out the musical arrangement to this? Or, I would even take tabs if you had it?

[overlord74]

Sorry Palmer i didn't write...

[LCONBEN]

I'm always a bit skeptical whenever I see Youtubers trying to tackle a masterpiece on their own, but you sir, have done a beautiful job. Most excellent!

[ZombiedustXXX]

It's gorgeous too!!!!

[ZombiedustXXX]

That is simply beautiful.

[wvonkessler]

Bravo! A different take, but as much emotion as Cilla Black's vocals.

[CantaBossa]

Simply beautiful...Thank you!

[erikvonerik]

this guy is fantastic! this really made my day! beautiful! i too would love to hear this on a jazzer - an L-5?

[burtbacharachkey]

What's that opening chord at 00:03 ?

[jimmyp37]

Been trying to learn some of this by watching... difficult. Maybe if we ask, plead, nag, etc. he will eventually share the sheet music (hey I can read... what a novelty on You Tube lol) this is just too hard for me unless I quit my job to figure this out by watching. Let me know if you have any success.

[overlord74]

sorry jimmy...but i didn't write the partiture....sure i like to share the sheet music...

I 'have to find the tima and pleasure to write it...

Bye Jcopo

[jimmyp37]

thanks for the note... Jcopo I am a great fan of Bacharach and your rendition of this here captures the mood, sensativity, subtlety, nuance, etc etc. If you ever write this out I would love to see it!! Thanks again.

[overlord74]

Simply Amaj7....after that E7 sus4.....

[burtbacharachkey]

I Would love to hear this tune on a jazz guitar...like a GB10 :)

[chiquitobandito]

bravo!!

[jimmyp37]

so great... please let me know if you ever write this out...

[soma235]

just beautiful and emotional

[cosmicroy]

very nice, beautiful!!!

[michaeljholme]

Very musical, works fantastically well on the guitar. I've just put a piano arrangement by Preston Keys on my Channel (though I don't think I play the piano quite as beatifully as you play the guitar).

[Saitenblick]

Beautiful - you make my day

Thanx ;-)

[think0821]

Bravo!!

[mandoniaa]

That was so worth listening to.

Thank you very much.

[peacemonger1967]

very nice....i think burt would dig it....

[funkylittlemonkey333]

Sounds great. Do you have tabs or sheet music?

[overlord74]

No i'm sorry...maybe i will write a sheet music...

Thanks JA

[Iskandar64]

Beautiful!

[Starlight1010]

I truly enjoyed that. You play so well. Do you do a version of "A House is Not a Home"?

[overlord74]

thnak you starlight...no i don't know this song but i will check...

[Starlight1010]

Oh, man, that was beautiful. It's so soothing to listen to after a hard day's work, and I'm finally sitting at home nursing a glass of merlot. Thank you.

[philisutt]

A wonderful tune beautifully played. The jazz chords and the sensitive dynamics made it a rare pleasure to watch and listen to.

[overlord74]

many thanks philisutt...i worked some weeks to rule this difficult tune...i'm so happy that you appreciate my playng..

Bye JA

[jimmyp37]

the classical guitar never ceases to amaze me
