Awesome video. Just to clear some things up, there is NO looping here. It's ALL live. There is NO backing track. This is a live one man band arrangement in the most solid, creative, skillful and just damn jaw dropping sense. You must see it live to believe it. He's this tight at every show (I've done about 5 tours with Pete) and this album is just bloody brilliant. Get it now, you have no idea what you're missing out on :)
Mike. You are so right. Pete is the artist, which have to see on on LIVE !!! The live youtube clips of Pete don't sound so awesome as you are on the spot.
Just how did I hear slap bass - and real congas (not like what Preston Reed, for example, does even better on his guitar as a drum) in this track if there wasn't a corresponding finger movement by the guy on camera, then? I call BS, and I'm a pro musician myself. Not that it wasn't frigging great - just that it wasn't "solo".
Doug Coulter Hi Doug! I'm happy to read your comment and I appreciate your observations, it actually means to me that I might be doing something right :) Yea this is in fact a one single take played on an acoustic guitar. You can check my personal UA-cam channel for more videos, maybe they offer answers to some of your questions. Take care!
Doug Coulter Cool that you think that way but i'm sorry to say that you're wrong. This is a live take. I was there recording and mixing and mastering it. This was made in my studio and i'm very proud of it! If there's some sort video cutting mistake that can be possible. Audio is just one take but with quite many different lines. Petteri has been doing this for years and made three albums. We have been thinking a lot how to make this sound from the very beginning.
People who thinks that there's looping in this track, clearly doesn't have any sense of technique. You can CLEARLY see, that he's doing everything LIVE by looking at his hands. I've seen this dude doing this UNPLUGGED at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt! Take a look at Petteri's other videos on UA-cam, and you'll find out that he's an absolute BEAST! I can't wait to get him to Scandinavia!
My gosh!....let me pick my jaw up off the freakin floor..... That was incredible. I could go on, but I would just be using different words to say the same thing. I am in aw that all of that can come from one man; one guitar. Amazing.
I didn't know what to think of this! I remember when Joshua Tree came out & never since, in my wildest imagination, did I envision a rendition like this. Since I was awestruck by his talent & the extreme stripping & rebuilding of the song into his own, I had to listen to it again. This song has always meant so much to me, in many personal ways, so I was at first taken back by his creating the song into something nothing like U2's. However, after the 3rd time listening to it, it became obvious: He was singing it from his heart & soul. Therefore, that must be where the creation of his rendition came from. Absolutely beautiful young man! Well done Sir!!
Finally Petteri gets some proper recognition! For those unsure about what's going on here, just look up some other videos with him. It's just one guitar and a bunch of effects, no loops or prerecorded tracks.
All I do after watching Petteri play is laugh. Because when my brain can't think of how to process things that are so amazing and unbelievable, thats all that happens!

to be honest, i almost skipped this as soon as he started singing. then i spent 30 more seconds on the page.... and this song has been on repeat since. GREAT SONG!
I can't tell you enough man but you are a true inspiration. This is probably one of my favorite tunes of yours. Its unreal the intricacy and ammount of emotion you display in your music.
u are unbelievable man ! m sure u've spent months not only for the musical parts but just getting your tone & mixing for this song to sound so tight & perfect. u are pushing the art to a whole new level & i'm a fan !
In my very personal opinion (not to generalize), THE most awesome performance ever since I have kept up with acoustic guitar performances (mostly finger style guitarists, due to my personal taste in music). That being said, this is certainly one of the best hybrid performance, combining fine techniques from finger style to one man band. Honestly, you see many finger style artists (I mean awesome artists, and all of them deserve my sincere respects, hat off*), but it is hard to find as well-balanced performance between techniques and composition as this song. Note: This is my SECOND complementary comment on youtube performance since tommy emmanuel (my guitar hero) during past 10 years. You deserve it mate.
AHHH!!!! SO AWESOME!!!! I can't stop listening to it. Such a good adaptation of the song. It just as entertaining to watch him enjoy playing as it is listening! You sir, and a great musician. Keep it coming man!!
That was freaking amazing. This guy would be outstanding if he just had that voice, great if he could play guitar...but he can do all that and play like an entire band. Bravo, that was so beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye :)
SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Petteri, great strides you !!!

Listened to it once, awesome! Then again, but this time with headphone , unbelievable.
You are right April this is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Like so many....still,have not found what I am looking for. Amazing guitar work!
I've always followed this guy. He started to play percussive guitar before many others out there. FANTASTIC!!!!

I swear Petteri is an evil wizard who has stolen the souls of several drummers and stored them in his right hand
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST LAUGHED REALLY HARD IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLASS FULL OF PEOPLE...THANKS! :)
Since 2008, Petteri Sariola is the best guitarist and singer in my life.
Holy crap. I still come back to this cover and it absolutely blows me away how talented this guy is.
i just can't stop watching this. it's so amazing, so incredible. his groove is something unique
Petteri Sariola makes me proud to be a Finn :)
Awesome that he's now on Candyrat and starting to get the recognition he deserves
Amazing talent. Great voice. Love the tapping and rhythm.
I always come back to see this performance. Pete is so musical and talented.
BLOWN AWAY.
God damn his strumming technique is formidable!
Finally Petteri gets some proper recognition! For those unsure about what's going on here, just look up some other videos with him. It's just one guitar and a bunch of effects, no loops or prerecorded tracks.

Petteri, you are so damn unique and one of few musicians in the world that are none interchangeable.
This guy is a MONSTER!
Chills, chills, chills. One of the best covers I've ever heard.

Aivan mahtava! Kiitos Petteri, tulee hyvälle tuulelle näin käsittämättömän upeasta vedosta.
I still can't believe how this is possible, but it sure kicks ass in the most beautiful way!
This was such a soulful take on a U2 classic. Thank you for sharing this.
wow petteri finally joined candyrat!
Great... great Pete, you 're the "Energy drink" Guitar man :)
Excellent
Outstanding - tough thing to stay so controlled with rhythm while being vocally expressive. Kudos!
Speechless
so this is what you call a one-man band
keep on the amazing work!!!
respect from Taiwan for a such talented artist :)
i wish i had his peddles. that bass, real slappy sound, is amazing and really helps keep the percussion alive! that's all i'm missing.
Nice. What a great voice. He knows how to use effects really well. Love that guitar. Thanx!
Seriously listened to this more than 10 times in a row!!!! Amazing!
This is amazing. Once again God given talent to mesh feeling and technicality together. Just awesome. God Bless Candyrat
u are unbelievable man ! m sure u've spent months not only for the musical parts but just getting your tone & mixing for this song to sound so tight & perfect. u are pushing the art to a whole new level & i'm a fan !
Awesome style,awesome song,awesome trick!!! OMG!!!!
Amazing execution! And it doesn't hurt that the guitar sounds divine!
Simply one of the world's best! Top job!!!
And this is why I've only played acoustic guitar for the last 20 years, well done Sir!
