  • anounamas composer try henry the 8th tudor king of england

  • btw I hate to be this guy but at about 1:24 in this video F natural should be played (1st fret high e) in place of the F sharps. If you play the F sharps this song becomes the christian Christmas tune "What Child is This?"

    Also, "because "Greensleeves," is probably Elizabethan in origin and is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after his death, Henry almost certainly did not compose it.

  • this guy is such a joke of a classical guitarist..

  • Maybe it's the way how I was taught, but it does sound better without the F# notes, instead play -F- natural. F# sounds too twangy for this, at least to me.

  • Historians believe that "Green Sleeves" was actually composed by Henry Viii, King England. he was known at court fro being a talented musician and poet

  • What?

  • @toonblok2 it is for beginner just try and play it slowly then increase the tempo good luck :)

  • Ermmmm, this. Is. Stupidly. Impossible.

  • i dont wanna meet you alone at night o.O

  • it isn't relly for beginners.. I always play it whit bas but that's not good. and most beginners don't understand notes.. maybe you should think about tabs??
