Coming from a jazz background, when I first tried to arrange rock tunes for solo guitar, I wanted to reharmonize them. I quickly understood that just didn't work: they stunk. Leave the simple harmony alone--it's all about the groove. I sure wish I could do it to this level of perfection. Ladies & gentlemen *this* is how it's done, right down to the expressions on Michael's face. Wow.
Most of the time the real FEELING of the song is lost in very technical playing. What I love about Michael is that even in his most technical songs, the beautiful feeling of the song is not only kept, it oozes out of every note, chord, and harmony. You are a truly wonderful player Michael. I think that every musician should listen to Michael in hopes that they can learn the most important thing that there is to learn: Music is not a collection of notes arranged in a way to create a finished product. It is MUSIC! ;)
Trying to replay it the way Michael did it. Breaking it down frame by frame, note by note, watching it a thousand times. Learning from the master. RIP.
I'm so glad your hands weren't injured, that would have been a truly tragic loss to us all. Glad you're healing, and thanks for sharing your formidable talent with us mere human guitarists.
Salut Michael! je suis devenu ''addicted'' de tes interprétations! Tu est une grande source d'inspiration pour les plus jeunes mais pour les plus vieux, comme moi qui ont de la difficulté a bouger et comprendre la musique...encore une grande source d'inspiration. Merci d’être, M. Michael Chapdelaine et soyez plus prudent avec la vitesse, ont veux vous entendre encore et encore. Marcel, Qc, Canada.
I've always loved this song and every note is embedded in my memory , you are amazing its beautiful , the beat tone , well , Cheers , heres to a long happy life to you & your loved ones!
Michael, your best performance of Come Together. Love it. Again, super impressed at the degree to which you honor John by capturing the essence of the song in your arrangement. This to me is what distinguishes you from all other fingerstyle players.
Mike you really can Rock the classical guitar world with all the Beatles songs and Segovia maybe come back alive to listen to you again. Magic touch and the beautiful music from your Yamaha acoustic guitar is really amazing.
Wow... I had not noticed the funny actions at 2:00 and then at 2:45 I like this; I see it as a happy relief on a complex and demanding playing. Simply Great...! THANKS
This is very well mixed in pre or post production. I don’t even care that it isn’t a solo take. It sounds great with the extra layers and focus to individual parts!!
@@kutemwachilumba1144 exeh ... This man is hard🏆✊🏽✨ ... Not for what your saying .... He's playing in E ... Not for what you're saying 😂 even you Ka mudala ... You don't know 💀🚮😂
Thank you so much Mr. Chapdelaine! It's quite an amazing arrangement and a great tune itself. It really inspired me to play it myself. Greetings from Costa Rica!
amazing and hilarious and awesome. i never get over how you make every single verse so different. just when i think there couldn't be another imaginable variation....
Michael u are a true boss on the guitar bud.... If and a i strongly say IF i learn to play as good as this i will be a happy man pal.... Keep playin pal because u nudge me on to keep practicing bud
Your arrangement of this gives chills. Your playing inspires me greatly. Tonight my little Telecaster is gonna take some punishment thanks to this post. Thank you!!!
Hey Michael I bought the transcription from your website. FIRST CLASS!! Very professional. Highly recommended. Now comes the hard part.. learning one measure at a time:-) cheers allen
Rest in peace, you were one of the greats and your legacy will live on forever
I wonder at his feeling of the music & his ability. Every time I watch MC play it makes me smile. Love to see someone loving their work.
Rest In Peace Michael! Condolences to those left behind, from Denver with love!

I'm a great fan of Michael's playing, but this one doesn't work for me. Disappointed.
