TONG HUA (Fairy Tale) - cover

Yup it's me again attempting to not butcher this song too badly. When I first heard it I got into one of my modes again saying, "I have to learn this one". It was composed by Michael Wong and I know it's not a classical piece but I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. Tong Hua was considered to be Wong's strongest singles. The video that came out for the song was subject to a lot of debate on whether or not Fairy Tale was based on a true story. Once I figured out the lyrics, I wouldn't doubt that the song wasn't true. At the end of the song, the voice in the background says, "When the whole world ignored me, only you couldn't leave me alone". Anyways thanks for listening to my feeble attempt at this one.

I agree with everybody before me. Great playing. You make those block chords sound so refined and elegant. Well done.

@Mr5stevenr Thanks so much. Sorry about the lighting though. Pretty dark. I'm trying to find the best place to play that has the better sound quality. Didn't consider the lighting. Thanks for listening Steve.

That's a beautiful melody, Mel. Were you doing bar with your ring finger? Gracefully played!

Waving back to you,

@jnclassicalguitarist - Hey Julie, I've missed you. I was kind of hesitant to upload this because of where I positioned the capo. I didn't realize how narrow those frets can be past the 12th...lol. I put the capo on the 5th but I normally bar with my index finger. I figure I'd upload this last fun song until I'm done my guitar exam. I'll upload a more serious piece on my next video. Anyway Julie, I heard your last video and I was at awe. You truly are an amazing guitarist Julie.

@zeynioglu- Hi Tamer. You know is so hard to practice for my guitar exams when I come across songs like this cause I always get into a mode of "got to play this one" before everythings else...lol. It's so hard sometimes as you know, because there are so many beautiful pieces of music out there that sound so good on the guitar. Anways Tamer, I better stop now because I could feel myself writing novels on this subject...lol. Thanks you for listening to me play Tamer.

@alyssialopez - Hey Alyssia. I couldn't tell you how long I wanted to upload this. Fortunately, I had the house to myself for a couple of hours so I had time to do it. It still needs a lot of work as you can tell but, I'll get it eventually. I wish I was able to sing like you so I'd be able to make it sound a lot better..=(. Anyways thanks for stopping by and listening Alyssia.
