  • This is really nice

  • Just some feel, don't know how to write it. I think this is true music.

  • why do you underestimate yourself so much...you are one of the best musicians ive found on youtube...i wish i had a grandpa like you...i am 22 and i so wanna be like you when i grow old....thank you for spreading out these amazing arrangements and for not charging a single penny for them....

  • Very nice....thank you for posting this...

  • What a beautiful Guitar.

  • Awesome!

  • thank you for posting tabs on here along with the song, i have been looking for a couple of hours now for the tabs and i couldnt find them anywhere, you are a amazing musician as well, wonderful rendition, i look forward to learning it

  • can you send to me tabs of this song . email rubirose25@yahoo.com thanhks

  • @loviuguitar There is a link to the tab in the text below the video.

  • If I ever download a ringtone it will be this, didnt want to answer the phone anyway I'm sure.

  • You're too modest. Admit it, you're good!

  • Assuming you're still alive and kicking I'd just like to say well done.

  • @Aepotheosis Thanks. I believe I am still alive, but I try to keep the kicking to a minimum.

  • Wonderful tune, very well played. I also heard PEO's version and I think your version is also touching the soul. I am wondering how beautiful your TAKAMINE is sounding.

    Regards from Austria

  • You are the best ._.

  • you are so hard with yourself ! i'de like to be imcompetent like you ;)

  • Very beautiful sound and performance! Poetic...

    Ju

  • Absolutely beautiful ... love it !

  • ❺stars ★★★★★

  • Another very nice piece. I just posted my second video on You Tube at "Arizona Journey 2010". It features 3 of dads recorded pieces as background to my photos. Check it out.

  • Your account should be called SupOldwhtman = Super old white man

  • You´re a great acoustic guitar player, and far away from incompetent old white man! This is one of my favourite songs. I love the version of Simon & Garfunkel so much! But yours is great too!

    Go on! Rock us all...

    P.S.: I´ll write you an e-mail for more questions...

  • other song, other perfection...

  • tanks 4 the Tab.

  • beautiful once again!

  • nice song! ^-^

  • This is one of my favorite songs! Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme...yes, I am going to Scarborough Fair. This song speaks to my soul & plucks on the strings of my heart (chordae tendineae). So does this performance. Thankx for posting!

  • Please post the tab =]

  • one of the first songs i learned how to play on the piano! I love your arrangement!

  • Non, c'est magnifique!

  • i still love it :D and i love your other vids too, and your tabs ^^ i am hoping that you post soon a tab for this :)) i would love to learn this ^^

    greetings chipsle

    p.s. as always 5/5

  • Lol you're right about he being rich. Perhaps you should consider selling tabs like him?

  • HA! You did it! And very well too! Good job there ''old'' man! :-)

    Please post your tab! This is a great version! Close to the one I lay, far from the one I have on my web shop :-)

    Yes, I am talented but I am not rich... Score: 1-1

    And when I was here, there was no related link to me! Dammit! I'll make a complaint to YouTube staff.

    Great playing my friend!

  • I love this song very much and couldn´t stop playing it last year. I find it very interesting to listen to the different versions here on youtube and I enjoyed yours!

    Best wishes - Sabine

  • Peo's performance of this changed the whole way I think about the guitar. And he's cost me a lot of money in new instruments. I wonder if I could sue him.

  • Peo is a very kind composer.

    If they put him in prison because of your action I´m going to visit him and play this beautiful tune for him - I think it will be fun because of the good corridor acoustics :)

  • Excellent Mike.

    As for suing Peo - I would be happy to take it on, pro bono.

    Paul

  • I've decided not to sue him. I found out I can't do it from my couch. I would in fact have to leave the house. Not worth it.

  • you first heard that OST. But what about the songs from anime you play? I know you don't watch anime, so how do you hear those songs? Your guitar too... you play that Takamine Hirade a lot. You seem to have an attachment to it. Is it a coincidence? Does it just have a nice tone to you, or do you have a particular fascination with it because of its country of origin?

    One more thing... Do you take requests? :P

  • I see you've discovered my trap. Trick young people into listening to old people music. Pretty soon you'll all be watching Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS. I don't think I have a special facination for all things Japanese, but they do have some great composers. They write good music. It's not the kind of music I would expect teens or young adults to appreciate. I've discovered a lot of the video game music here on Youtube. I listen to requests, but I don't feel obligated to do them.

  • @oldwhtman Hah! I KNEW all along it was a trap! You're trying to brainwash us! :P It's cool though. You're one of the coolest guys I know, young or old. :D

    Well then, I have a few requests in mind... not that I'm holding you to it. At least give them a listen though... Check out the Cowboy Bebop OST. Yoko Kanno is literally the most brilliant composer I've ever heard. She can write anything from blues to metal, Jpop to country, and it always sounds good.

  • I'd love to hear you play Rouya, Waltz for Zizi or some kind of arrangement of ELM, specifically. All great guitar pieces, in my opinion, I'm just not nearly talented enough to attempt to play any of them, despite my best efforts. Unlike you. I know you can play them... ELM does have some challenging parts though. :P

  • just because it came from you. You see what I mean? The geeks that love anime/video games, like myself, are getting exposed to something other than anime/video game OSTs. :P

    I also wanted to ask you... Do you have something of an appreciation for Japanese things? I remember you once said something along the lines of "good music is good music, regardless of the source" when somebody asked you about your CC covers. Another time, I think you said your daughter plays Chrono Cross, which is where

  • Lol! "I think he's really rich." You've got a great sense of humor man.

    Great cover of a song that I'm ACTUALLY familiar with even though it's not from an anime/video game. :P

    Speaking of, I've been meaning to tell you why you're awesome. A lot of your subscribers are fans of the Chrono Cross OST. I'd say probably most of them, in fact. What you've done is hooked these guys in with your CC covers, but then when you upload a classical guitar piece, they listen to it when they never would have

  • Very nice, again, very nice. I like the tune, and you captured the mood quite good. 5*****

    Frank

  • Very well played. Not like I play this one . I suffer from CRS and can't remember where I got the version I play from. It's way too sour to even think about posting. Great job!!!

  • That's what I like about this arrangement. It doesn't try to sound like Paul Simon's guitar/vocal version, which I love, but this arrangement works even better as a solo piece.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song! Very good job! Thanks

  • Merci, Claire.

  • You're welcome : ) You play very well Mike!

  • Actually i love the way you play it too. thank you so much for sharing. it is different to Peo but only in the sense that it is expressively different. I love Peo because he his arrangements are always so soothing...

  • No one plucks a note as smoothly as Peo.

  • This is a great arrangement. It has beautiful movement and harmony. And, you play it well.

    - Ben

  • i love it ^^

  • It's very good 5*****

  • I like this one better than the version I play. :O

  • I really love how the acoustic guitar sounds in songs like this, it gets like a really medieval feel, great job!

  • wow, this is amazing! it sounds much cleaner than the piano rendition, and this one seems to have much more emotion to it. beautiful, by nature and by sound.

  • Thanks. I've never heard this on the piano. Now I have to search Youtube. But, if you like this arrangement, you should check out AndanteLargo's performance. Flawless.

  • ;-D

    Your comment is hillarious... lol but at the end of the day: its accualy very good!

    Me, myself, I started Bensusan's version, and after two bars, I still wonder if I will try the third!!

    hmmm..tells a long story.

    but I loved your playing..as ever!!!

    P.

  • I didn't know Mr. Bensusan did an arrangement of this. I can't wait to hear it. When will you be ready with it? I've been working on a Philip Rosheger piece for over 2 years now. It should be quite embarrassing for me when I finally put the video up.

  • yes he did, tough I have to admit that arrangement seems way over my league....its tremendously difficult. 2 years working on a piece..? hmmm seems I have the same with "nice feeling" ;-DD

  • You play it so clean and clear. You did a great job
