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.
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 =)
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.
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 =)
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
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.
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
Just awesome. Lots of guitar players can play this but none can play it with emotions and with the right feel like Kotaro

Kotaro's songs are not difficult, both original and cover. But so fckn beautiful. That's why he's a master of guitar.
I was literally hypnotized the first time I heard this. Great song! Never knew that only 1 acoustic guitar can sound this beautiful.
I agree, one of the best arrangement I've heard to date, really well played , beautifully emotive.. cheers and thanks
I'm practising this arrangement. I hope i can play it well this Christmas.
This is the best Fingerstyle arrangement of this song, imo. The intro is so beautiful.
Kotaro's arrangements are among the best in our life time !!
Great Technique..
Great Feel..
Perfect..
Really great musician!!!
the most amazing version of last christmas

Oh... sooooo beautiful... THANK YOU
if you ask the type then it's an acoustic-electric. It helps a lot when you play
the same style.
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.
Wow!!! It so beautiful. I feel like Someone touching My HEART.
It's been years since I've touched this song.

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.
