Singing and playing guitar on and perfecting it is hard enough but to sing and play percussive fingerstyle guitar and perfecting it takes it to a whole new level. This is just yet another incredible masterpiece from a beyond talented, brilliant and wonderful guitarist in Calum Graham You legend Calum
Magnificent tune in every aspect Calum, the chord progression, the harmonics, the melody, your voice - amazing. Also that guitar solo had me fallen off my chair, so awesome (loved the build-up aswell)!
You are one blessed guy, Calum. To be able to do what you love (singing & playing the acoustic guitar) in that place with that kind of background (peaceful scene of the ocean and seagulls flying) is like a dream come true of my fantasy destination place where i want to be... 😍 it's impossible not to be at awe for the creator of nature for this.. God bless Calum
How could there be any "dislikes" for this song? I search and listen at least twice a week. Just about everyone could relate to the lyrics within. Keep the good words comin'!
First "burning up" I discoverd, rythm, noise of the strings, tempo, and electric sound in that song and voice sweet at the begining and more strong after, in perfect harmony with the music , I listen it many Times. I like also the vidéo, sea and seagulls that come and fly near the Windows. This moment with Pedals and Electric Guitar, is awsome,!
I had the opportunity to watch Calum Graham play "Burning up" live this past July, let me tell you, his enthusiasm, stage presence and stage etiquette is phenomenal.
The vocals, the cross over od on acoustic, the consistent calum guitar work. You killed it bud, you should be so freakin proud of yourself. To get where you've found yourself takes alot more then hard work, your devotion to the music is clear to see and to hear. Never lose that need, the tears lost because of the music are so so valuable. The feelings felt while discovering more about yourself through the music are important. Keep it genuine and you'll keep killin it.
Its Perfect....Great perfom in all aspects, one of the best musicians in thats time in the world. He has a incredible progresion and evolution. Its greatfull for all us to ear his music.Grats!
I have been listening to Calum, but this is a new musical concept. Quite fresh and interesting! It is a kind of transparent musical dome around which moves the created world! Who agrees with me?
И голос, и мелодия, и аккомпанемент... Виртуозное исполнение! Талантливо!! Такого наслаждения и восторженного удивления не испытывала лет 40 уже :))) Благодарю доставленное удовольствие. Тая. Россия. Сибирь.
Damn it,the solo is so emotional,i replayed it 6 times before i left home,and still,I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT,amazing,i really don't have the words that can describ the pleasure that my ears are eeling when they hear your solo!
I can't describe how much I like it. Honestly I didn't expect that from you. That main thing with harmonics - sounds amazing, that bridge - just awesome and for sure solo in the and - so surprising! And your vocal is great. Keep it up, Graham!
It’s rare you see these candyrat guys sing while they play, I imagine it’s super difficult. Playing simple chords and singing at the same time is no easy feat even if you know how to do each one of those individually really well. This takes incredible skill
Percussive guitar and singing at the same time....awesome! Time to bring this genre of music to the mainstream. A song like this performed on live television, like The Tonight Show for example, would bring a whole new legion of fans to this artistry. Fantastic, Mr. Graham!
I am truly enjoying the artistic evolution of this young man. I wasn't expecting the voice and wasn't expecting the lead. Glad to say I am very Impressed by both. Have you noticed how he has a penchant for the perfect ending that never fails to astound?
The amount of skill here illuminated in this video is just unreal. Calum you're inspirational. AND you sing!!! :) You've got yourself yet another fan. Hoping that one day I might get to the level where I could branch out into the stratosphere where you and other guitar greats live and breathe.
This is brilliant. He's got so much ability. I'm lost for words. This piece hits the spot, lovely stuff. The location gives a soothing touch to this as well.
SOB CALUM! You keep pushing the envelope man! I second what Peter said! and yes that guitar solo! I've never seen that before on acoustic! Such phrasing and with such finesse! Amazing!
Burning Up (Calum Graham) Silent are the shadows walking next to me Not a soul for miles around as far as I can see Stranded in the desert so far from home These are the loneliest days that I've ever known Oh I need your lovin' baby Like the desert needs the rain This lonely feelin' deep inside Won't seem to go away And it's driving me insane I'm burning up - got a fire in my soul I'm breaking down - and I can't take it anymore This loneliness - is tearing my heart- in two I'm sick I'm tired I'm lost without you I thought I didn't love you baby but I was wrong Didn't know how much I did until you were gone Told me I was crazy and though it may be true I'm sane enough to know that I'm still in love with you Oh I need your lovin' baby To take these blues away This lonely feelin' deep inside Won't seem to go away And it haunts me night & day It's driving me insane I'm burning up - got a fire in my soul I'm breaking down - and I can't take it anymore This loneliness is tearing - my heart - in two - yeah I'm sick I'm tired I'm lost without you🎻🔥 I'm sick I'm tired I'm lost without you
I applaud you for branching out by adding vocals to your superb arrangements. Who are some of your vocal influences? Incidentally, the solo was very soulful; it had a nice Carlos Santana vibe about it. I just love that your not a purist and aren't afraid to use effects at times. Well done.
WHAT!!!??? Calum sings too!!!??? And he's great!!!!! Now I'm totally blown away...
the world needs more of HIM! This it's artistry and talent!!
***** I'm sorry....do I know you? Seriously? Not sure what a "copyat" is, but don't post that crap around here.
Troll free zone.
I didn't expect that solo.. It was amazing! Perfect song, Calum!
Calum is such a talented guitarist, had no idea he could sing like this too. I keep coming back to this song, love it!
His singing blows me away!!! That voice should be heard A LOT MORE! Come to the USA and get on the voice NOW
I also had no idea he could sing! he has a great voice!
His voice, the music and the whole video just perfect, l too keep coming back to it♡
Singing and playing guitar on and perfecting it is hard enough but to sing and play percussive fingerstyle guitar and perfecting it takes it to a whole new level. This is just yet another incredible masterpiece from a beyond talented, brilliant and wonderful guitarist in Calum Graham
You legend Calum

+Peter Gergely Any idea about the tuning? looks like not DADGAD?
He indicates tunings on is web page I think!!...right here : calumgraham.com/guitarists-only
He is Calum Graham!
The only thing I hate about these videos is seeing all these great young players who are all so much better than I'll ever be. Sigh. Lovely tune. :)
I still don’t understand why this isn’t the first one to pop up when I look you up man. Instrumental with a purpose. Love it.
What a versatile artist. Calum's been one of my favorite musicians for a while just based on his instrumentals. But now this... So incredible.
Calum, this is amazing!! I love this. Looking forward to seeing you again!! God bless you and your God given talent! 🙏😇✨️❤️⚘️🦋
Wow, he has a voice too!

HOT!! him, the song, technique, melody, background and his voice *_* Everything! I want more!! completely addicted
good to be back again after quite some time!
Pure talent. Thank you Calum.
being able to play like this and sing at the same time is srsly extrodenary....i love every minute of this song and cant wait for a tutorial
How could there be any "dislikes" for this song? I search and listen at least twice a week. Just about everyone could relate to the lyrics within. Keep the good words comin'!
Man you have a freaking fantastic voice! From one musician to a much better one, keep it up. Your music is rapidly becoming my favorite.
my puppy loves your music calum, she calms down whenever I play your music
i'm just in awe with his voice
First "burning up" I discoverd, rythm, noise of the strings, tempo, and electric sound in that song and voice sweet at the begining and more strong after, in perfect harmony with the music , I listen it many Times. I like also the vidéo, sea and seagulls that come and fly near the Windows.
This moment with Pedals and Electric Guitar, is awsome,!
Fuarckkkkkk! That solo just made this song, the greatest song in existence!
Calum Graham is brilliant, breathtaking and even beautiful at times. This is a song to savour

That voice with those strings.🔥Beautiful love song + video♡Guitar solo--AMAZING
Calum, Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour are just too good for words. I've listened to this so many times.
I have been listening to Calum, but this is a new musical concept. Quite fresh and interesting! It is a kind of transparent musical dome around which moves the created world! Who agrees with me?
Without a doubt this is the freshest piece of music I've heard in a long time if not ever. AMAZING
Calum graham is a man with so many talents
Watching this over and over.Flawless.Dedicated axeman.Great voice.
I am forever a fan. As if it wasn't already amazing, that pedal helped amplify the awesomeness
И голос, и мелодия, и аккомпанемент... Виртуозное исполнение! Талантливо!! Такого наслаждения и восторженного удивления не испытывала лет 40 уже :))) Благодарю доставленное удовольствие. Тая. Россия. Сибирь.

Dude you are amazing. My dad just passed this is his favorite song. He told me all the time. He watched all of your videos.

Really nice (love) song and singing. Gorgeous rhythm and playing, striking guitar solo over a perfect loop. And a beautiful location, wow.
It's like the best parts of every kind of music in a single six-minute masterpiece.
Way to go Calum I'm impressed yet again by your raw talent. Always an inspiration to me and my playing.
Incredible. Very few songs i've found that combine finger-style with vocals that I like, or that don't overshadow each other, but this was awesome.
I LOVE your use effects. This has to be the freshest thing I've heard since discovering Days of the New in 97. WELL DONE!!!!!
You're incredible man, I wasn't expecting vocals or a guitar solo to sound like that. This song is perfection, thank you for inspiring me every day.
you got the goods Calum...all of them. Enjoy and be good to them.
Love the voice... you made the right decision to bring it out. Still waiting for you to come to Atlanta.
Percussive guitar and singing at the same time....awesome! Time to bring this genre of music to the mainstream. A song like this performed on live television, like The Tonight Show for example, would bring a whole new legion of fans to this artistry. Fantastic, Mr. Graham!
Six minutes of pure genius!!...

Burning Up (Calum Graham)
Silent are the shadows walking next to me
Not a soul for miles around as far as I can see
Stranded in the desert so far from home
These are the loneliest days that I've ever known
Oh I need your lovin' baby
Like the desert needs the rain
This lonely feelin' deep inside
Won't seem to go away
And it's driving me insane
I'm burning up - got a fire in my soul
I'm breaking down - and I can't take it anymore
This loneliness - is tearing my heart- in two
I'm sick
I'm tired
I'm lost without you
I thought I didn't love you baby but I was wrong
Didn't know how much I did until you were gone
Told me I was crazy and though it may be true
I'm sane enough to know that I'm still in love with you
Oh I need your lovin' baby
To take these blues away
This lonely feelin' deep inside
Won't seem to go away
And it haunts me night & day
It's driving me insane
I'm burning up - got a fire in my soul
I'm breaking down - and I can't take it anymore
This loneliness is tearing - my heart - in two - yeah
I'm sick
I'm tired
I'm lost without you🎻🔥
I'm sick
I'm tired
I'm lost without you
the ending solo was a great surprise :)
Yeah I like it!
Geez man, you got mad talent. That's pretty cool what your doing with your playing and singing and writing. Great combination.
I applaud you for branching out by adding vocals to your superb arrangements. Who are some of your vocal influences? Incidentally, the solo was very soulful; it had a nice Carlos Santana vibe about it. I just love that your not a purist and aren't afraid to use effects at times. Well done.
THAT WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL
Just fantastic mixture of talent and devotion to the art of music.
Every time I hear it it's more awesome than the time before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Que musico mas completo, que pedazo de video. Una pieza maestra
Why haven't I heard him sing before? Very good!
in short .............. Wow man, you are amazing...!!!
Absolutely amazing song!
Love this guy...true talent right there!
Respect from germany, great song. WOW
An amazing guitar player, and great voice too, really good
You are the best! Keep making your amazing music.
