Fingerstyle guitarist doing personal arrangements of classic songs
Daniel - Elton John | Fingerstyle guitar cover
One of my favorite Elton John songs is Daniel. 🎵✨ I love how the light rhythm 🎶 fits so well with the depth of the lyrics 💭. The contrast between the airy feel of the music 🌬️🎧 and the emotional weight of the story 📝 really makes it stand out! 🌟 It's a subtle yet powerful combination that always draws me in. 🎸

In this video, I reflect on my 20-year journey with music and fingerstyle guitar- from smashing my first guitar 🎸, to forming a band 🎤, discovering bluegrass 🌾, and eventually focusing on fingerstyle 🎶. I'd love to hear your suggestions, topics you'd like me to cover, or any questions ❓ about my playing or technique. Your feedback really motivates me! 🙌 I've also included some unreleased origin...

Man, what a song! 🎶 It's such a classic. 😍 While I was 🎣 fishing for songs to play on electric guitar 🎸, I stumbled upon The Sound of Silence 👀 and couldn’t resist working up an arrangement 🎧. It came together pretty quickly ⏱️. Hope you enjoy 🎉 listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it! 😊🙏 #fingerstyleguitar #guitar #simonandgarfunkel
Bad Moon Rising - CCR | Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

I have fond memories from my childhood of my sisters frequently watching My Girl 🎥, starring Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin. One of the standout tracks from the soundtrack was "Bad Moon Rising." 🎶🌙 I rediscovered the song later during my deep dive into 60s music, and it really stuck with me. 🎧 The whole soundtrack was just amazing. 🔥 After watching Tommy Emmanuel's Center Stage concert 🎸, I ...

😂 There's a line in the Yellowstone TV show that always makes me laugh: when Jimmy is sent to Texas, he meets the legendary horse trainer 🐴 Buster Welch, completely unaware of who he is. Kory Pounds then quips, "There are three gods in Texas: the Almighty himself ✨, Buster Welch 🐎, and George Strait 🎤. You just met one of them." To which Jimmy responds, "That’s not George Strait." I've been lis...
Early Morning Rain - Gordon Lightfoot | Fingerstyle guitar cover

🎸 I've always admired how Gordon Lightfoot can effortlessly evoke a mood with his music 🎶. His repertoire is brimming with great songs 🎵, yet, strangely enough, he has never been widely known here in Belgium 🇧🇪. A couple of years ago, I attempted to arrange a version of Early Morning Rain 🌧️ at its original tempo ⏱️, but something didn't feel quite right 🤔. Then, one day, while I was listening ...

When I was a teenager, I was a devoted Beatles fan. 🎸 I knew everything about them-every song, every detail-and I must have watched the Anthology DVD set a hundred times. 📀 One of my personal favorites, despite not being a major hit, is "Hide Your Love Away." 🎶 Lennon once mentioned its inspiration from Bob Dylan. 🌟 The arrangement was simple yet remarkably effective. 🎵 Quand j’étais ado j’étai...

During the pandemic, guitarist Duke Levine 🎸 released a series of captivating songs 🎶 that continue to enchant me ✨. Duke's exceptional feel, touch, and innovative arrangements make his music truly special 🌟. His electric guitar renditions of "Wild Mountain Thyme" 🌄 and "Loch Lomond" 🌊 are so poignant and deeply touched me ❤️. Duke's music, especially his albums "The Fade Out" and "Left To My O...

Lately, I've been toying with the idea of creating bass lines for my arrangements. 🎸 While playing around with this concept, this great Sam Cooke song came to mind. 🎶 I decided to change the groove a bit and tried to craft a bass line that would move a little. 🕺 It took a lot of practice to make it sound decent enough. 🎵 The process has been challenging and I'm excited to share the results with...

We've had quite a long stretch of bad weather here. 🌧️😔 Now that the sun is finally returning and shining its light upon us ☀️😊, I thought it would be the perfect time to play a little bit of "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb. 🎸🎶 I hope the weather is wonderful wherever you are. 🌎🌤️ Peace ✌️ August

Back when I was wrapping up high school, we were shown the Into The Wild 🏞️, and despite its somber ending 😔, it left a lasting impression on me. The stunning visuals 🎥, coupled with Eddie Vedder's soulful soundtrack 🎵, made the film a captivating experience. It was evident that a lot of care went into its direction 🎬. Interestingly, I recently learned that Eddie wasn't the original songwriter ...

Do you recall that scene in Tarantino's Django Unchained when I Got a Name began to play? 🎶 It was one of those moments that sticks with you. Before that, I'd never encountered the song, but the way it intertwined with the narrative, the visuals-I was hooked. 🎬 I couldn't stop listening to it after that. 🤩 Recently, I've been putting together a Partscaster, and I must say, I'm quite pleased wit...

Merci 🥰
Lovely, August.. love lookin at your dancin fingers!
💃 Thanks!
Гораздо лучше чем оригинал))
Thank you!! 🎸
Wonderful, beautiful story, August! You're a hugely talented and imaginative musician (and writer!) Funny, I too was profoundly influenced by Tony Rice and chased after his technique for years, only to finally realize it was not something I could ever excel at. Even gave up the guitar for 5 or 6 years. Fingerstyle, I learned, favors my talents and limitations. Happy pickin brother!
Thank you for your kind words, Anne 🙂! Tony is such an influential musician. Hope you are well. Happy pickin'!!
Absolutely great!
Thanks! Glad you like it! 🎸🎶
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thank you so much 😀🎸
Lovely work again mate.

Cool bro
Thanks, bro 🙂
C'est fou ce que 20 ans peuvent passer vite.. Et je ne me lasserai jamais du sourire du clap de fin. Félicitation pour les 1k 👏👏🥳
Merci cousin ! 😀 Que le temps passe vite, tu as raison.... sauf quand on se trouve dans la salle d'attente chez le dentiste 🦷😅
@@AugustParth 😂
Nice man, your vids helped me pull the trigger on a e8D TC! Soulful and nice, will def be picking this on my new guitar next week! Do you still play yours?
Thanks man. Happy for you! Yes I do, I've tuned it a half step down though. The tone has really matured into something great, really rich tone. Bought it in 2015 or 2016.
🥳😘
Hey hey Bonne continuation dans tes projets ! 😃😃😃😃😃🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Merci 🙃
I am going to save this video and watch it many times ! I don’t know how to thank you for what you do, you are a Top 10 and I can feel the passion that you have in your style of music. I am 67 YO, have been playing acoustic for many years and I am far away from your talent. I love watching you and Gabriella Quevedo playing, two great talented guitar players who makes it look very easy. Thank you August, you deserve one million members. Mario, Cowansville, Qc. Canada
Merci, Mario, pour ces compliments. Ca fait chaud au coeur 🙂🙂 Je suis content de savoir que ma musique est écoutée au Québec 🍁 . J'ai fait un voyage là-bas il y a bien longtemps dont je garde d'excellents souvenirs. Le réglage de ma guitare a un rôle crucial dans ce type de jeu, ça aide vraiment beaucoup pour les passages plus difficiles et la vitesse.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 1000 🎉🎉🎉🎉🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏

Congrats for the 1k fou !
Merci l'ami 😃🧐
@@AugustParthI didn’t know that you speak french. Had I known I would have written my comment in french… easier for me. Please keep playing for us !

Really nice!
Thanks, Gabe!! 🙂
Uma das músicas mais lindas que existem.
I agree with you, a beautiful song 🎵
Love this! Did you compose this cover yourself or find it somewhere else. Would like to learn this for myself haha
Thanks! I wrote the arrangement myself. I don't have any tab at the moment unfortunately. It's travis picking style in E.
I Love Jim Croce's music and especially this song. Wonderful fingerstyle performance of it! So good....and a good choice of guitar for this one. Bravo, well done. Big Like 👍
Thank you for your kind words Zepp! I love Jim Croce and this song a lot too. I thought : why not giving it a go on the electric 🤔 🙂
I have also memories of this song, and your picking reminds me when I played tabs.....when I was young, héhé🙂. What a great and beautiful version in fingerstyle. Bravo 👏Big like 33 👍
Thank you so much, Zepp!! 🎸🎸
Beautiful arrangement of this great classic song and sensitive playing too! Are you aware this was actually Fogerty's anti-Vietnam song? Have you ever seen the rain comin' down on a sunny day is a reference to what it was like when there was bombing's with Agent Orange.....so, very poignant song indeed......
Thank you for your kind words!! No I wasn't aware of that, but I'm glad I am now thanks to you 🙂🎸 I just thought that a slower version fitted the song well.
Amazing!!!!!!! I want to play with this arrangement.Tablature please .
Thanks!! I'm sorry there is no tab at the moment, I'll let you know if it comes out in the future, thank you for your interest.
Just awesome 💎💎💎👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏
Thanks!! 🎵🎶
Great arrangement and performance. I like your thumbpicking style! 👍
Glad you like it! 🙂🎸
Super. Dacă alții nu știu sa ante ei mai bine!
Thanks!!
Спасибо за очередной шедевр!
You're too kind 😊😊Glad you like it!
Yes du CCR ! Excellent l'arrangement fou 🙌🏻
Merci fou ! Content que ça te plaise 🙂
Absolutely a great Version.
Thank you for your kind words, Michael! This means a lot 🙂🙂

Great arrangement and tempo, August. And that looks like a new guitar???

Thanks a lot!!

Thank you so much!
Fingerpickin' on the electric! Very cool. Love it.
Glad you like it! 🙂
Hello August. thanks for the reply and wee guitarist's insider joke. again i must say you've created a lovely sound indeed. clear with that punchy Gibson 'sound'....i've been playing along with this recording, tho i play an Eastman semi hollow body thru a small loud box mini amp. i play with a duo (myself and stand up bass) we both play, solo and sing. i used to play more like your style, ie , playing the melody acoustically on the guitar, but now, since i've really begun to sing much more, i play a more hybrid chordal back up style. fun how one's musical journey evolves for each of us.anyway, enjoy your playing and your sound, and besides, you're a doppelgänger for a friend i used to work with.....cheers.....fred
Cheers, Fred! 🎸🎸
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤠🤠
Honestly, I became your fan💯💯💯👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎸💎💎💎
🎸🎸🎵🎵
Bravooo sounds original and incredibly beautiful as always👏👏👏💯💯💯💎💎💎💎
Thank you for your kind words!
Man, don't know how you get that sweet sound out of that gibson. just miked? beautiful sound.....cheers....fred
Thank you for your kind words, Fred! I record with a Martin then shoot a video with a Gibson... nah! Just joking. You're right, it's just miked. But close miked. The action is set extra extra low. I'm picking super gently. Bring the mic closer and you can take advantage of the proximity effect and have more bass in the sound. Let me know if I can be of any help.
I also play the guitar and publish my own creations of relaxing guitar music on my channel. Usually I don't use other people's tracks, but create my own. But if you allow me, I would make a collection of your creations and post them on my channel, and of course I would leave a comment on your channel that these songs belong to you.
I'm flattered. Let me think about it.
@@AugustParth Thanks a lot. I will be waiting for your answer🙏🙏🙏
Awesome 💎💎💎have been following your work for a long time and I really like it. You play the guitar so sweetly that I can relax listening to it.🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏
Thanks a lot! Thank you for your support and for following my channel. 🎸🎸
So pretty
Glad you like it, Mark! Thank you for listening.
