Great mix of your influences & your style! When my dad passed 2.5 years ago my son, being a fourth generation guitar player, came to me & said that he wanted me to join him in playing this song to honor his grandfather at the funeral services. We did it, with tears in my son's eyes & mine. Pure joy. Dad must have enjoyed it as well. We went to Maui that same year in the summer. While returning to the table to sit down with our dinner at the luau, Sleepwalk starts playing from the house pa. I started to lose it but was reminded by my wife & son, that dad must be here with us in Maui. Why would this song start at that exact moment? Thanks for bringing back beautiful memories, especially on this Father's Day weekend. 00
Man, that is without question, the tastiest arrangement I have heard. Somebody famous said "genius is just another way of looking at things." That was genius.
You combined a few influences to make this your own own song! This has a very nice flow, expertly assembled phrases, gorgeous wide chords. You did this song, it passes the test, tears running down my cheeks. One of the best songs in history!
Closing a standard guitar lesson with a simple uplifting comment at the end doesn't make this "didactic content." The substance of the actual lesson itself would need to provide real moral instruction to be considered didactic.
It was a Big Hit back in the late 50's. I'm old enough to remember listening to it, but back than it was on a static prone AM radio. No matter how you listen to it today, the quality is inevitably better.
I'm old enough to remember listening to this song on the AM radio. I loved it then, and I still love it today. It's great fun to play over a looper, where you can just take off in any direction you choose, while still coming back to the original melody. You do a wonderful job covering this song and taking it in your direction. I enjoy your lessons and love your upbeat attitude. Cool....
Great song and great musician. I've played this song a long time but never learned it right. This will give me the inspiration to do it right. Thanks Damian.
There is something about this song and I have rarely heard a version I didn't like but you sir, kept in that nice original version with little nuances. GREAT JOB!! Love it and your channel never disappoints!
Damian this is truly Excellent! Love your interpretation of this old classic! Wonderful! I shall try to incorporate some of these licks into my version. Brilliant! Thankyou so much for posting. Cheers! 👍👍👍
DB you know I like you, you should be very proud of your rendition of this iconic instrumental , truly the best since Santo and Johnny I have heard, many thanks for sharing this video with us, best regards Pete over the pond
Just watched some of your old stuff. Man, you seriously improved on every level! Sound, technique, timing, rhythm. Respect, and thanks for your work. 🎩
Thank you so much Damian. This had to happen one day! I adore the song and your playing. We used to do a whole set in our gigs with 5 different versions of the song. I could find almost all of them in your playing 😁 Keep on rocking and stay safe and healthy. Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪
Damien, that is absolutely beautiful one of the best versions of this song I’ve heard yet. I’m going to learn this one from you. I love it thanks a lot and I always love what you always say at the end of your video. You’re one cool guy.😎😁😎👍🏼🎸 👍🏼
Sitting here in a rut for playing and then I listened to my absolute favourite guitar instructor on the interweb And now I'm excited as hell to get the song down pat Once again thank you very much Mr bacci
Thanks Damian - took a crack at this a bit over a year ago. I only got part of the way through it. I just revisited this and got all the way through from start to finish. Now I can't stop playing it. Great video!
Thank you Damian for showing the song . It should be noted that this is one of my favorite tunes on semi acoustic guitar ! How many times I've heard it, I'm always delighted . thanks :))
Perfect arrangement and delivery. I can hear 3 part vocal harmonies in there. No doubt a carryover of Damian's jump blues horn lines that thicken up the syrup. Au 42 degrees
Outstanding !!! Best version of "Sleepwalk" that I've heard on guitar. Copied the TAB, along with some of your other videos and starting a "Damian Bacci Rockabilly Binder". Great Songs & Great Guitar Playing !!!
Absolutely beautiful 🎶🎵🎶 thankyou so much for this Damien. A rock n roll standard that we all should learn, and as per usual you've played it within the realms of us mere mortals. Thanks for the tabs, thanks for the lessons, thanks for your DVDs.
Wow ever since watching La Bamba, I've been wanting to learn this song! Thanks to this quarantine, I've got time haha! So thank you very much Mr. Bacci for doing a video on this! Thanks and stay safe and healthy
This is the best version I´ve heard. I play Sleepwalk by myself but your version is outstanding. I´ll will try to learn your version. Best Regards from Sweden
Thank you George. My fathers day was a good one. My daughter and I had lovely day together. I hope you find the tabs helpful. :) Keep on Rockin' DAMIAN
