I am sad to hear that this Great Maestro Virtuoso Musician has passed away last year November 16, 2023, we were the same age, and I have been a Classical Guitar hobbyist since 1970 till today, and I can play some of Maestro Michael Chapdelaines's POP music arrangements. He is too young to go, and FOREVER missed, a true Muse for the Classical Guitar, in the LINEAGE OF Andres Segovia. R.I.P Michael.
I’m a guitar neophyte , 78 years old and currently learning finger style online. When resting my arthritic fingers I take great pleasure in watching your interviews and demos; they give me great pleasure and encouragement. Your love of music and constant seeking of guitar knowledge makes for an informative and uplifting watch. Keep on doing your great work, you make this old UK man very happy!
Hi Nick... I just saw this post with Mr. Chapdelaine (may he rest in peace), and noticed your comment. I'm inspired that you have taken up guitar and happy to see it. I took lessons in my teens, became quite proficient, but then abandoned playing when I let life "get in the way". I've now returned to it at age 63 and am learning fingerstyle on my own...best thing I ever did. Keep on playing; Music makes the world go 'round.... I wish you the best in your journey. - Cris
@@cris1186 Hi Cris…what a very nice read. So kind of you to take the trouble to share this with me; it gives great encouragement to meet a fellow traveller on the finger style hill of dreams. Warm wishes and all good luck to you as we keep travellin’ on! Cheers, Nick
Great interview and playing from Michael! You could tell he was really getting into the music. I'm kicking myself I missed the opportunity to play a Muiderman when I was at Carter Vintage - d'oh!
@@A21Joker no but Sungha rose to fame by playing Michael’s arrangements. It was a novelty to watch a young teenage kid play the same performance. Sungha had millions of views per tune compared to Michael’s maybe fifty thousand views. Sunghas versions paled in comparison to Michaels.

👍😁🥰🍀thank you.
This is exactly the kind of fingerstyle approach I had been looking for after playing and exploring for 10+ years...
Take lessons with him. He’s amazing

Fantastic interview
Michael’s syncopation is unearthly! Amazing control of the instrument…
12:22 he mention another great luthier michael thames.
well done Michael
The man most responsible for the Sungha Jung-RUclips guitar phenomenon. Unrecognized.
why? was he Sungha's teacher?

Was just listening to Kate Bush, and reminded me of Michael. I didn't know his guitar was named after Kate Bush.
I’m guessing Michael passed shortly after this interview? Still can’t believe that he is gone
Thanks Lindsey. Hi Kim. Somehow, I listen here and then play that fine paid for guitar from you folks.
This is a wonderful video and subject. I'm a little surprised by the hubbub in the background though.
