Sibelius? Finlandia?

Nice music

Best acoustic version I’ve ever seen. Better than Chet Atkins… better than the guy who originally arranged it, Guy Van Duser.

Hi--fellow baby boomer, musician and most importantly a Christian.I recently picked up a 70s album at McKays giant thrift store In Nashville, by you, "Hymns for Classical Guitar". As I type this, the music is playing ^You want to pass it on--wow, how about that? I love it! ai look forward to singing hymns with you in heaven one sweet day :) Subscribing and sharing.

God bless you for this!…. The wonder of it all…. Jesus loves me!!!

Infarkincredible!

‘been watching this for 15 years

I like it.

This is beautiful. I just listened to a lot of your music and it looks like you've had a great career. I really enjoy your music.

Love this! ❤

Fabulous!

Thank you for arranging this piece as you did, and for playing it so beautifully. It’s really a gift.

I've been an admirer now for at least 20 years of your arrangements, truly incredible and a great blessing to me!

Excellent!

Thank you for good music!!!

Rick is the best! How about more new videos of hymns? 😊

You’re an American treasure and a guitar genius!!! Thank you so much for sharing your art with the world! God bless you

YES!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing your God given gift !!! I have watched and learned from you for years. I have purchased your books and attempted to do the arrangements justice. I’m so glad you have found a way to continue.

This is just so incredibly good, warranting multiple listenings. Perhaps the finest example of this piece on TH-cam where we hear the necessary contrast in timbre between the lower and upper voices, the guitar's rich 'Spanish' character shining through. Kudos to the player for maintaining the pulse through relatively tight arpeggios and effortless positional changes. No affectations here whatsoever. Bravo, sir, for being the perfect conduit between composer and audience.

Very nice Rick! All my best to you and the family.

Very nicely done!

Beautiful Sir... I love it... God Bless You

Thankyou Rick for your ministry of gospel classical guitar and many great arrangements.

You still have the touch--and the classic 'Rick Foster sound' remains! Thank you!

Amazing!

Brilliant stuff! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Terriific

Brilliant!

impeccable as we say over here in every respect. The arrangement, the presentation, the execution, the nuances. Absolutely brilliant as we say over there.

Is there any tabs out there for this. I love this version nicely done 👍

How to become like you sir?

God bless you! Forever!

Yes, every July 4th.

Rick, I'm sorry to hear about your hand issues, but I'm glad you're still employing the gifts you've been entrusted with. I'm also happy to have the opportunity to thank you for your arrangements. Back in the late 1990's, after having started a career and a marriage, I had let my classical guitar skills 'backslide' and lay dormant for most of a decade. The new music director at my church found out that I played in college, and coaxed and cajoled me into working up an offertory piece. The ONLY thing I could find was a copy of "Favorite Hymns for Acoustic Guitar," with an accompanying cassette tape. It was EXACTLY what I needed. I've since added other books to my collection, including your other publications, and have performed your arrangements hundreds of times, during church services, weddings, and even a funeral. Thank you, and bless you. It is not always given to us to know what effect our endeavors may have on others, but I'm glad to let you know about the joy and encouragement you have helped 'foster' (pun intended) in my little corner of the Arizona desert. I suspect there are many like me across the world. I'll be praying for you.

just found the link of this video in a chat with an ex girlfriend 15 years ago... Mr Foster, you toched my heart then and now. Cant press "like" twice.

Thank you Mr. Foster!

Love Your work!!!

This gentleman is one of my favorite Christian guitar players, along with Phil Keaggy! They are both technically excellent! Glory to God for giving them both amazing talent!

Sounds wonderful!

Nicely-done, Rick. I am so glad to have found you on Family Radio back in the late 70s.

I like the fact that you didn't give up doing what you love. You are a warrior. Your thumb only videos are very well-done. You haven't lost your skills at all. Please, make some more videos. I think you should simplify all your arrangements of songs recorded through the years for new thumb only guitar books. I promise to buy all your thumb only books.

Beautiful

Luv rick foster God bless brother

Been listening to a bunch of arrangements of this song tonight and this is by far my favorite for its clarity

Very nice.

This arrangement is super hard to play.

beautiful
