This is legitimately the best guitar playing I’ve heard ever. Period.
I'm a guitarist, play folk, rock, metal, Country... This one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. Honestly, you make your instrument speak in a wonderful language
I bought the entire discog with all the tabs from the link in the description. The first song in this wasn't that hard to learn. I highly recommend it from one guitarist to another. This is from a guy who is 40 and completely new to finger-style and played metal and blues my whole life. I'll be working through these tabs for years.
Listen the lost hollow lament its beautiful too
@@willylabasan4351 thanks I will

I'm a little late to the party apparently but seeing this reminds me of how much I love this instrument. Been playing for 20 years and the fact I can still discover new styles of play that I haven't imagined is incredible
We both late to the party here brother but at least we are here now.
Love this so much. Thank you for sharing!
Great work Stephen! If there were various rating criteria on UA-cam, I would give you a like for everything: video quality, video edit, sound quality, playing skills, composition, overall impression. Subscribed and waiting for more of your Celtic/Irish songs. All the best!
+Lukasz Kapuscinski - Guitars & Dragons Thanks Lukasz! I checked out your videos and wow, such a great sound and composing... and thanks for taking the time to listen to some of my tunes! :)

Gorgeous interpretation!
I'm Chinese but I listen to your Celtic music because it is so beautiful
Stephen's guitar sings while his fingers dance! This music warms my heart.
So nice. I love that open bronzey ringing sound. Too many guitarists these days forget that sometimes it's the sound of nothing in-between that gives music it's soul.
Mate, this is excellent guitar playing
Thank you!
really a fantastic celtic touch!... Your music makes me dream!..
you keep that up and you'll have thousands upon thousands of people loving celtic music, going to Irish music workshops, trying out Larrivee guitars...
Thank you, thank you!

Very true this comment. Just bought a Larrivée om 40, these videos definitely counted when I chose that particular guitar !
Largely influenced, I just bought a Larrivee.
Beautiful.. I love the pipe like drone in your intro, sad, beautiful and impeccable, every note was worthy and welcome.
Astonishing! Incredible playing in DADGAD!
This is CGDGCD, or Orkney tuning, mate.
A remarkable arrangement of We Will Return (Home) to Kintail. Beautifully done.
Beautiful 🦋🌷🌸
I had my first guitar lesson on September 30th, 2020! And I'm learning Celtic music to start with! in DADGAD! :D I hope to become as good as you one day!
Stephen - I stumbled onto your work as the result of being a big fan of Tommy McManus - I think Celtic melodies are some of the most moving sounds ever played and recorded - the staccato runs you do are unbelievable beautiful and such a challenge for a player at any level (I'm a 40 year player) - if you ever come to Huntsville AL or I get to the British Isles I sure hope you are gigging...
fantastic playing
Fantastic playing Stephen! Lovely video also!
I've never been so fascinated like i'm now before ! I'm a guitar player or should i say an amateur guitar player and i'm very interested in the celtic culture & music ! i wish to be able to play like you one day Inchallah ! :)
Those little rhythms are sending chills down my spin. Wouldn't even know what to call them?
This is honey for ears 🙌
Prayerful at first, then it makes me want a pint with my bestie. Nicely done. DADGAd?
Amazing song!
Tune
Sterling rendition, food for the ears and into mood elevated. Thank you
this is just amanzing,,and beautiful.
You really shoock me,dear sir! You are incredible guitar player!!! I was amazed by your playing of this music.....Excellent,perfect ,wonderful work,man!!!
I've been thinking of writing some songs with the guitar in this tuning, and after listening I'm sold... I'm even thinking of buying another guitar now just to have one set up like this at all times. Brilliant work!
+John “Nibbo” Reynolds Thank you John for your kind words. It helps having a guitar tuned all the time to this tuning. You get more familiar with it every day.
Outstanding! Reminds me very much of my all-time favorite guitarist, Tony McManus. Beautiful tone, graceful ornamentation and a wonderful video. That is a great tuning as well. Bidh clann Ulaidh comes to mind, one I enjoy playing. Albeit, not as gracefully as you and Tony play. Thank you for sharing!
Toute l'Ecosse et toute l'Irlande sont dans tes morceaux : magnifiques voyages.
I honestly don’t know why you aren’t the biggest guitar UA-camr out there yet. Everything about your videos are perfect. Great quality, amazing sound, beautiful expression, and a sense of joy and being embraced by the song. Keep up the amazing content!
Dandelion wine sure sounds fine....... thanks for such splendiferous aural delight from the far east Gloucester Virginia......
Fabulous..DADGAD such a great tuning.

I swear to god I started floating in thin air after the first 5 notes ! Beautiful
Beautiful playing Stephen.

Fantastic job on this. Enjoyed it very much.

Just amazing, not much else I can say.

Beautifully done! I'm getting into this kind of music now and your rendition is just amazing!
Wonderfully played :) u r great Mr Wake :) thks for sharing ur wonderful talent..cheers from Mauritius Island :)
how long did it take to learn this magnificent piece?
Stephen Wake, the man that plays pipe in spirit on a guitar
Great. But not the first.
Muito linda as musicas...
This is fucking amazing! Congratulations mate!
I can just see the girls Irish dancing!
To two Scottish tunes?
Someone fornthe love God tell me how to hit triplets like this. I don't even know where to start
I over-appreciate this guy!
keep up the good work!
What an amazing piece! I run a recording studio and I play myself. You inspired me for more music. Thank you for the inspiration.
can i like this twice????
lol .. sure, by liking other people's comments. That is what I do. :-D
Very inspiring Stephen ! Keep up the good work ! All the very best
You've played before!
Bloody lovely! Very clean performance and a great piece of music on the ear.
What a fabulous version of this beautiful AIR and what a good sounding Larrivee! Wonderful!!
Whenever I listen to you play, you always inspire me to keep on going with my guitar lessons and practice. I want to be able to play Celtic music this well some day
Not a week doesn't go by and I don't listen to this tune. Sublime. Greetings from Celtic neighbours in Ireland.
same, from ire too amazing tune can’t get enough 😅 👌
Even the flower enjoyed this time I wanna be like you maybe one day
Can you make a video like '"HOW YOU MIX AND MASTER YOUR SONG" ? Because your audio quality is amazing and crystal clear.Thanks in advance
I like the video, but please, Stephen, develop a lighter hand with compression/limiting, and learn to watch your levels, before you make a video on recording/mastering. There's hardly any dynamic range left in this recording, and there are many overs. It's still a pleasure to watch, but it would be even more of a pleasure if you'd let it breathe more. Study recordings of Martin Simpson or Tony McManus (to cite just two examples) to get a sense of how fine recordings of Celtic guitar pieces can sound articulate and present while still preserving a natural dynamic range. Duplicate that, and your videos will go from impressive to truly outstanding (which is where your playing seems already to be!).
Thanks man for the feedback. Just so you know, I didn't use any compression but did use limiting. If you compare the audio to the version I have on Spotify then you might prefer that one. I think something accidentally happened to the track when I inserted it into Premier, but still I don't think it was anything drastic. As for the limiting, I don't agree that it's over the top. Both of those artists you mentioned have louder tracks than mine (on Spotify)
I can't agree . To my ears the sound quality is superb (as is the playing. Such clean triplets and oozing panache.@@TLMuse
The kind of video that when I press "Like", I feel silly. Bravo.
Hi Stephen,
Greeting from West Virginia, USA. Love you playing and arrangement. I use the Appalachian finger style and play music brought over from Ireland/Scotland. Do you always play in D sus4? Do you ever play in open D? Also would like to know if you are using the tonewood amp? I have both of your albums and am a big fan. Thanks for your music and great videos. Doug
Those little tremolo snippets (?)/ triplets that I hear with Celtic fingerstyle are such a mystery to me when I attempt them.
Check out one of Tony McManus' courses. I'm sure he'll teach you. Helped me a lot anyway
Superb !!!! Many compliments!!!! Your music is fantastic!!!
Странно, почему мало подписчиков? Это же замечательный исполнитель!!!
Impeccable! As a student of classical guitar, your technique is flawless. Great work!
Amazing. So inspiring! I love your technique! Arrangements are awesome!
Thank you Glenda for taking the time to listen!
Wow this is beautiful! I would love to collaborate 🙏
What I wanna know is: where is the microphone?
Beautiful
stephen - have you ever played any of this stuff with a flautist or some thing like that
I don't want to sound stupid, but but where did you learn how to fingerpick like that?? And books or learning videos?? I need a new challenge in my music. Thank You SO much for sharing. Celtic Folk is my Favorite...and you are quite amazing😊
This sounds fantastic, Stephen!! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Best wishes,
Jacob.
Outstanding! Where is the microphone? Those camera angles along the fretboard are so instructive! Thank you.
I have bought the pdf booklet that includes these songs. It is excellent and well worth the money. But I can’t get the tricky little triplet(?) that is a signature of the piece. Any advice Stephen?
recently they fond celtic graves and hills in germany to place another home for imigrants, i hat to laugh. We all are doing nothing exept survive in our own kultur. Oh Eire!
Is this on DADGAD also?
No, this is CGDGCD
Stephen can you give me children? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cool! Just bought the CD via Amazon UK download :-) Do you have the Tab to this one on its own rather than buying the book please? Ahh, no worries, just found it :-) Those fast triplet trill thingies with the right hand look tricky... but I like a challenge
Thank you! Yes, at the top of the description there's a direct link to buy the pdf of this arrangement without purchasing the booklet. The triplets are just a matter of drilling them out through practice. Eventually you'll do them with ease. Cheers!
@@StephenWakeGuitar Thanks Stephen, got it 😁 Just got to get my 2 grade 7 pieces learned then I'll have a go at this one. Is it called "Orkney tuning" or is that a different tuning? Cheers, Dan P.S. Might go for the All DADGAD book for Christmas
I really loved the music but I gotta say, just as much, I related to the brown hair with a red beard. All of the males in my family have thing deal 😄
Hi Love your sound, why choose Larrivee over Martin OM as i wil be buying a guitar soon ED Scotland
You deserve a lot more views for this. Very nice!
Wow... Now that's talent.
Great tune, guitar sound and video!
Absolutely amazingly beautiful work and presentation
Ok. That was so good … I almost feel like I just saw something alien !!!!! LOL.
Wonderful.
Miller Scott Lee Richard Williams Edward
breathless! This video, the playing, the sound quality, and clarity... all super top notch
There is a spell in my feet, they wont stop dancing! hahahahaha
Wonderful!!!
Hello Stephen! I"m working my way out of these tree tunes, so sweet! BTW what brand of capo do you use? TIA, cheers from France.
Excellent! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙏
@@StephenWakeGuitar Well I practise with slow downer and this is very helpful, but if you could tell me what brand of capo do you use, I will be in heaven! Cheers Stephen!
@@TheJeannot52 Sure, I use a G7th Celtic engraved capo. The one in this video is the Performance 3.
@@StephenWakeGuitar tanks a lot, and best regards form Brittany!
From Spain... Wonderful!!!!
Very nice playing here, exceptional tone, Im going to get the album and hopefully finde the tab! Thanks for sharing this! Paul
Bellissimo brano . Complimenti . Come è accordata la chitarra, DADGAD?
