So eternally beautiful. He captured the melancholy, sadness of the original song. Christmas is supposed to be a happy time, but for many, it is a season of unbearable poignancy. How amazing that this song was written in an hour by a 21 year old George Michael. That this master guitarist chooses to play this song speaks volumes about GM's talent. Miss and love him. Always.
The thing about Kotaro is that most guitarist probably can play his arrangements, but his touch and feel on guitar is very difficult to mimic. He's so one of a kind.
Kotaro writes some of the most beautiful yet intriguing arrangements ever. I love to watch his hands, they're so strong but he makes it look so effortless =)
Both are products of their time and complement each other. We do not want to forget the past and old guitarists. Without them there would be no basis for implementation. Everything has to develop to grow. The development of the young child Sungha is entirely from memory and fully learned each and every note sound, silence and time rhythmic pauses and breaths.
I can imagine me sitting next to window holding a cup of tea watching my yard covered with snow and kids playing building snowman in the Christmas morning.
I've had a dream like you and started to learn guitar last year. This song is really difficult with me but i believe that i can play it at Chrismast this year...
The notes are easy to learn but the fingering techniques he used is really tricky. Especially the subtle "nail attacks" and the tap harmonics at the end part.
It's been years since I've touched this song. Even did a cover of it on my channel. I'm much better now lol But I learned it all b/c I had a crush on some girl that I knew for a year. I made the cover to show off...clearly...but unsuccessful. A few years later and I find myself in a relationship. I gave my heart and soul to her. But that wasn't enough. We were only going out for a year and month. This song has never touched me more deeply until now. I'm relearning it =)
Classes can teach budding guitarists how to play with proper technique. Proper technique is fundamental for any kind of style of guitar like what Oshio does. It's a foundation.
no, not yet. Maybe I will upload one over christmas I have a video lesson of the nail attack, that comment was supposed to answer someone asking about the nail attack
What pisses me off the most is how a soulful rendition like this one done by an extremely talented artist has only 1/50 of the views as the teenage pop crapdozer montage video of Ashley Tisdale.
Perhaps when the fall in love, start composing. Kotaro Oshio is awesome! the performance of their works each has a special detail. If we ask Kotaro, run a popular song or known notice a clear difference between the ejecucuión of his works and interpret other composition. The young Sungha execution based on reading music made by memory. That gives you more freedom and a freer style. But they both enjoy when playing guitar
self learning is better than taking classes, youll get bored in classes and you wouldnt learn anything like how to play songs like kotaro oshio, trust me
I've been playing guitar for 6 years and I still don't know basic stuff like chords, scales, or how to read music. I'm assuming that I would've learned this stuff in lessons. Of course I could always just look it up on the internet, but it's hard to get myself to do that when I could instead just spend the time learning a new song. Lessons are good as long as you have a good teacher.
Just awesome. Lots of guitar players can play this but none can play it with emotions and with the right feel like Kotaro

please listen merry chirsmas me Lawrence
Loving it still, Xmas 2023
beautiful. one of the most amazing things i've ever heard in my 19 years of living. this is on repeat. can't express enough how amazing this is.
Kotaro's songs are not difficult, both original and cover. But so fckn beautiful. That's why he's a master of guitar.
When I was a teen I learned to play this, now 12 years later I forgot everything
I was literally hypnotized the first time I heard this. Great song! Never knew that only 1 acoustic guitar can sound this beautiful.
Sublime, eterno maestro. Por ti y por haber capturado a Kento. Gracias.
The thing about Kotaro is that most guitarist probably can play his arrangements, but his touch and feel on guitar is very difficult to mimic. He's so one of a kind.
Kotaro's arrangements are among the best in our life time !!
the most amazing version of last christmas
This is the best Fingerstyle arrangement of this song, imo. The intro is so beautiful.
I'm practising this arrangement. I hope i can play it well this Christmas.
I agree, one of the best arrangement I've heard to date, really well played , beautifully emotive.. cheers and thanks
Wow...imagining I was at the seaside enjoying cocktail while listening this beautiful romantic and relaxing music ...keep it up yo

Kotaro Oshio..One of the best Guitarplayer in the World.
I can imagine me sitting next to window holding a cup of tea watching my yard covered with snow and kids playing building snowman in the Christmas morning.
I've had a dream like you and started to learn guitar last year. This song is really difficult with me but i believe that i can play it at Chrismast this year...

this dude really swings... it's awesome...
bardzo delikatne,puszyste jak śnieg i prawdziwie Świąteczne...dziękuję
whoa man BEAUTIFUL guitar tone.
Kotaro is the best guitarist i've ever seen.
Its a custom guitar by Greven luthier, Auditorium 000 size, the base prices normally start from 5000 bucks
The notes are easy to learn but the fingering techniques he used is really tricky. Especially the subtle "nail attacks" and the tap harmonics at the end part.
Brilliant, just brilliant. I didn't know this song was this good. Much better than the original. Please release a recording of this version.
just beautiful......
This is so beautifully played. I love the tone and feel of this rendition. Lots lots. Thanks for sharing this.
That vid just radiated skill and finesse!
soothing.. I love how the song slowly picks up.

for those of you wondering if you search hard enough you can find this song on the net for download. i found it on a blog and dl via rs
wow Kotaro is such a good guitarist.
sounds so nice.
This song totally gets me in the mood for snuggling under a cover and looking at the snow falling outside my window
Wow that is such a nice sounding guitar..
It's been years since I've touched this song.
Even did a cover of it on my channel. I'm much better now lol
But I learned it all b/c I had a crush on some girl that I knew for a year. I made the cover to show off...clearly...but unsuccessful.
A few years later and I find myself in a relationship. I gave my heart and soul to her. But that wasn't enough. We were only going out for a year and month.
This song has never touched me more deeply until now. I'm relearning it =)
i think i watch this 4 years ago...i started to post this songs every year during christmas...great masterpiece
Thats a one hell out of an awesome play !!! Really nice ! Thanks
Classes can teach budding guitarists how to play with proper technique. Proper technique is fundamental for any kind of style of guitar like what Oshio does. It's a foundation.
Sure, it sounds amazing, but the thing that's really making me enjoy this is that it looks like he is having fun and really loves doing what he does.
brilliant...Merry Christmas from Southern California, USA.
Exactly ! Thank you.
I did not know that PRS produces acoustics. I have to try one now.
aww miss tis song.. we sing it wen we were n elementary=] he made it sound so great.
Oshio Kotaro vids, never enough! :) thanks for sharing :)
such a amazing piece..
no, not yet. Maybe I will upload one over christmas
I have a video lesson of the nail attack, that comment was supposed to answer someone asking about the nail attack
if you ask the type then it's an acoustic-electric. It helps a lot when you play
the same style.
Anyone in Christmas 2019?
here
hello!!
love the lighting and camera work.
It's fantastic,oshio kotaro is just so good,I love finger style
IT IS SO AMAZING... GENIUS!!!
Such a goddamn beautiful song
Took me a while to learn this myself, it's harder than it sounds :P
it depends. i take classes, and my teacher corrects my technique when i play. i find that necessary..so yeah. each to his/her own. cheers.
Totally sublime.
just awesome !!!
Just beautiful, how perfect is the nail attack
so softly,deeply,it can touch my heart,it's so touching!
nice version. no unnecessary show offs.
its there, but you have to look on the japanese version of his site, if you go to the one thats in english, its much more limited
seriously... the way Kotaro plays it has so much feeling it in. Thanks for the awesome upload. Anyone have the tabs for this song?
never get bored watching this video...
this song + Rainy mood...epic
great performance,very skillful
Merry Christmas Mr. Oshio
Music is hope and hope is music, for the world.
Sounds so good :))
Wow!!! It so beautiful. I feel like Someone touching My HEART.
beautiful song
Wow it's summer and I feel the peace from the Christmas(btw, I don't even know the song). So this is the true art. Great job and thank you.
What pisses me off the most is how a soulful rendition like this one done by an extremely talented artist has only 1/50 of the views as the teenage pop crapdozer montage video of Ashley Tisdale.
que manera de tocar, love this song, kotaro tiene un gran sentimiento al tocar esta cancion me ha llegado al corazon good job Kotaro greate
Oh... sooooo beautiful... THANK YOU
ฟังแล้วรู้สึกชื่นใจมากๆ เหมือนโดนมนต์สะกดเลย รักจังเสียงนี้ ♥
Really fantastic!
this song make me cry and i want Christmas back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utterly incredible! I'm all misty here. @RiceburnerFM
self learning is better than taking classes, youll get bored in classes and you wouldnt learn anything like how to play songs like kotaro oshio, trust me
Yeah, Kotaro Oshio like composser and SungHa Jung like amazing interpreter,

기타소리가너무좋아요 세상에 16년전이라니.. 전 31살인데 제가 15살때아닌가요.. 2007년,, 이사람들 제글볼까요
he's awesome.
