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.
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.
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.
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 =)
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
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.
I don't know how Kotaro makes a song with such cheesy connotations sound so incredibly beautiful. Normally I hate Christmas songs! I guess when you take the words away and play it that sweetly it just turns into something else. Beautiful interpretation :-)
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
2024 still ❤
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.

I was literally hypnotized the first time I heard this. Great song! Never knew that only 1 acoustic guitar can sound this beautiful.
Kotaro's songs are not difficult, both original and cover. But so fckn beautiful. That's why he's a master of guitar.
Sublime, eterno maestro. Por ti y por haber capturado a Kento. Gracias.

Its a custom guitar by Greven luthier, Auditorium 000 size, the base prices normally start from 5000 bucks

Totally sublime.

Just beautiful, how perfect is the nail attack

seriously... the way Kotaro plays it has so much feeling it in. Thanks for the awesome upload. Anyone have the tabs for this song?
Beautiful.
just awesome !!!
japannese name.. always japaneese ,almoust on all sector thing`s such music, art, industry, many. many more...
nice version. no unnecessary show offs.
if you ask the type then it's an acoustic-electric. It helps a lot when you play
the same style.
It's fantastic,oshio kotaro is just so good,I love finger style
Wow that is such a nice sounding guitar..
this song make me cry and i want Christmas back!!!!!!!!!!!!
im trying to learn this song right now...such a beautiful and intricate piece...which also makes it tought to learn XD
@gucio3417 usually he uses MATON dreadnought guitar.( I think so) but in this song I don t know xD
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
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.
Oh... sooooo beautiful... THANK YOU
Utterly incredible! I'm all misty here. @RiceburnerFM
Merry Christmas Mr. Oshio
Music is hope and hope is music, for the world.
Great!!!!i'm learning this song now!
