Rarely write comments, but I had to tell you how amazing you are. I first heard this melody when I watched this beautiful movie many years ago. I didn't know this could be played on an acoustic guitar the way you did. Your artistry is awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
thank you for the tab share. A generous hearted man, has no interest in competing for his ego's sake, and is happy to share his work with an open heart, as seems to be the case here. My thanks to Muchael, great share
Really loved your performance. I never thought the guitar would bring out the emotions of the original piano piece, but this is just as beautiful and heartfelt, bravo!
Nine years ago I found this video and it made my day happier. I still keeps hearing it speechless all this time. It's really one of my favourite videos here :)
i had the idea the other day about whether it was possible to translate piano music to guitar and realised it was possible. So great to see it played like that, thank you !
Bright and rhythmical, but also warm and sensitively arranged and played! The high capo position is effective and enticing (it makes me want to try it too!) Lovely flowing piece, thank you for this Jonas, Clive Davies
Man...just...congratulations. I always loved this song, definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Love your version, really, thanks for sharing it with us.
oh my god, this is just amazing, this arrangement of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Thanks a lot for sharing the tablature, I hope one day I'll be able to play it as well as you, I have a lot of work to do now !
My friend, this is simply AMAZING! I have always loved this song, but you have just made me love it even more! I just listened to this 5 times in a row. I am shocked that this only has 6,500 views. This is the kind of talent that deserves 500,000 views or even over 1 million. I really hope that you get the recognition you deserve soon.
As someone who is a mediocre finger stylist on the guitar, you show great mastery with your control of the emphasis of the melody to convey emotion! In awe and appreciation of your talent! thank you for sharing!
Truly flawless. What a very clever, and well-considered adaption to an already amazing song. I could listen to you play for hours. I truly applaud you. Much love from England!
Back, 10 year's later to say this piece of music has been my crutch at times...had to comment again Jonas. This is so beautiful, words can't express the emotion your take on this song brings me. Thank you my guy xxxx Peace Love and Unity xxxxx
Watched this movie when it was released in the early nineties. This soundtrack has been imprinted in my brain ever since. First time hearing it on a guitar. Its a real acheivement in itself that you have managed to stay true to the original music as well its haunting effects. Well done!
The day my father died, i remember that this song played randomly on my ipod when i was going back home from the funeral, i didn't even know how i got it on my library in re first place, didn't even know it existed...in just a couple seconds i was already so connected with every single note that all the good memories, all the good moments with my dad started to flow in my mind, it was so paceful. Now everytime i listen to this song i feel the same, it's simply beautiful. Music is an amazing healer. Great performance, Jonas!
Thank you! Sorry to hear about your loss but I'm glad that this piece reminds you of all great memories you have with your father. Take care and thank you for listening.
That was amazing! Best arrangement I've seen ever, you just blew my mind. Many thanks for your generosity for sharing the tabs. I sure would love being under your tutelage, if only I was in Sweden. Thanks for the inspiration.
I really admire people who can translate piano music into guitar I can't play the piano, so it gives me the chance to play some beautiful melodies thank you!
ES UNA EXCELENTE VERSION,ÚNICA,MARAVILLOSA.POR ESO LA GUITARRA ES TAN ESPECIAL Y VERSÁTIL A LA HORA DE HACER E INTERPRETAR BUENA MÚSICA.FELICITACIONES POR TAN BRILLANTE EJECUCIÓN.
That is so stunning. I love the original version so much (on a piano, obviously), but to hear it on the guitar (before I succumbed to depression I used to play the guitar a little) is so breathtakingly beautiful. I can't read music or tablature, always played by ear or by feel, but I would sell my soul to be able to play just this one single tune like you do. Makes me cry every time.
I am astounded. I know this piece like the back of my hand and your tone is perfect as are all your inflections. Absolutely beautiful. Ada would be proud x
commenting to say i listen to this a lot and have done for years now! it's a beautiful composition by Michael Nyman, and not only is it technically difficult on the guitar but you play it with such great technique, dynamics and feeling. hopefully i'll be able to play it even half as well one day! thank you.
One of my favorite instrumental songs performed flawlessly on a guitar really make my day happier :] Uma das minhas músicas instrumentais favoritas executada de forma impecável realmente faz meu dia mais feliz :]
Your fingerstyle playing creates the illusion that more instruments playing at the same time. But now that I am thinking that's what fingerstyle for after all! :) Really Nice
I'm not a fan of guitar (pro-pianist), and I did not think I was going to watch that video for more than 12 seconds, but after it ended I was desperate for more. Never thought a guitar has the capacity of being this sophisticated.
Wow, it sounds fabulous on guitar! Did you have notes or played it by ear? I don't remember the original by heart (always play it freely by ear) but your rendition sounded less minimalistic than the original.
Fantastiskt arrangemang. Det bästa på youtube. Att sedan notblad finns tillgängligt helt gratis är galet. Tack så mycket! Svårt som fasen att hänga med i samma tempo, många luriga övergångar, men kul att nöta oavsett. Keep up the good work, hälsn. från Nyköping 🎉💪😊
I've played piano for 17 years, and owned a classical guitar for 8 years-- but I've never gotten around to playing it... I almost sold it... until now. It's VERY strange-- almost every song you play (Faxanadu, Castlevania, Michael Nyman, Amelie, etc etc etc) are also my own favorite songs to play on piano. It's almost spooky-- maybe I'm the American piano version of you, who knows. ;) By your playing and giving the tab sheets, it's inspired me to get learning. I'm already well into your Comptine d'un Autre Ete (which I've played endlessly on piano for 12 years) ;) Thanks for the inspiration!
Maravilloso, son las mismas notas que el piano, yo tocco esta pieza y me gustaría intentarlo en guitarra acústica, le da un toque más elegante y sutil :3
+madhisson scarlett moraga inzunza es increíble que suene en acústica tan "llena" como en el arreglo original en piano (sospecho que Jonas edita el audio :P)
You've just eked every drop of my love for music out of my heart and back into it. I had it, I lost parts of it and it is now found whole again. Thank you.
You just made my day! Woke up singing it for no reason, then found your cover a few secs ago...Brilliant! thanks, and great effort, teacher! I will put my hands to work on this piece after work, thanks to you.
not a lot of famous guitar players can even play this kind of musical genre or should I say classical guitar it takes rare skill and a lot of heart, soul and time to put into it you sir have such a great talent!
Forgive me my poor english... you arrangement is fantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastic! Beautiful arrangement, marvelous interpretation...and it's not all! You give us the tabs!!!! Thank you, thank you!
I first knew this song from Nightwish and then saw this piece from you 5 years ago. I come to listen to it every now and then. Today at the guitar class, it was my very first day to learn this piece, with your tab. Thank you so much for the music, the love!
Beautiful, Usually I'm horrified to listen to covers of my favorite songs, because inevitably they leave something to be desired, but I'm often pleasantly surprised to find a piece not only as beautiful as the original, but with as much honest emotion behind it, and that's the one un-fakably un-coverable thing. Nobody can replicate others emotional involvement in their music, and the biggest mistake is when people try to do just that; you've brought your OWN emotions to it, and that's what makes it so beautiful.

I felt the same way. i could not know that it was possible to play so beautiful on a guitar
thank you for the tab share. A generous hearted man, has no interest in competing for his ego's sake, and is happy to share his work with an open heart, as seems to be the case here. My thanks to Muchael, great share
Only four years late but where's that tab?? Thanks
@@roadrunnerairsoft4933 You can follow the link in the description.
@@TrigJegman thank you 🙂
For years, I wanted to learn the piano to play this tune.
I had never realized that it could be so amazingly adapted for guitar.
Thank you Sir.
The heart just got its pleasure :)
+Dunja Radojkovic Great to hear!
Yes it has, bitter sweet tho it is. Loves lost and time spent. Still a constant.
How on earth can somebody this good
ZetTroxX Thank you for your comment!
lololol i was think WTF how ,what,why,wow.....beautiful rendition...i can play this on piano but nevrr thought of it on an acustic...amazing
I'm 14, I'm from Chile and I play this song on piano, I know how hard it is, congratulations!
Thank you Josefina! I could not play this song when I was 14 :P
I might be 8 years late, but I still want to say: Wow! This is so incredibly beautiful and well executed. Thank you so much for uploading this!
Thanks! You are welcome :)
beautiful profile photo
Really loved your performance. I never thought the guitar would bring out the emotions of the original piano piece, but this is just as beautiful and heartfelt, bravo!
Holy shit. Great job man, exceptional skill and a brilliant adaption of a brilliant piano piece.
This arrangement deserves MORE it's absolutely fantastic! ❤️
Thanks a lot! Coming soon on musical plattforms.
How can this not have more views? Brilliant. So many thoughts flowing through my head.
Jonas Haglund Thanks! It will probably be more viewers in the future :)
@@JonasLefvert You were right, hoping for even more views. I'm really thankful for your exceptional job mate.
Sharing helps.
That's very beautiful...
Because internet is brainless and almost only boobs gets million views. Real talent, as witnessed in this video, is not recognized enough.
Nine years ago I found this video and it made my day happier. I still keeps hearing it speechless all this time. It's really one of my favourite videos here :)
When music makes one want to weep, you know you got it right. No words for this at all. It's just sublime.
this is so good😮
imo this is, by far, the best guitar version of this piece of music i've heard, bravo 👏👏
i had the idea the other day about whether it was possible to translate piano music to guitar and realised it was possible. So great to see it played like that, thank you !
First 30 seconds and I'm blown away, this is amazing!
Thank you Edward!
My favourite piece of music currently - I could take my eyes of his fingers. Beautifully executed.
Bright and rhythmical, but also warm and sensitively arranged and played!
The high capo position is effective and enticing (it makes me want to try it too!)
Lovely flowing piece, thank you for this Jonas,
Clive Davies
Thank you to! It also becomes easier to play with the capo :)
Man...just...congratulations. I always loved this song, definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Love your version, really, thanks for sharing it with us.

The Piano is the most beautiful movie. The Heart asks pleasure firts is the most beautiful song. This version is the best. Great!
Patricia Bianco Wow :) Thanks for that!
beautiful adaptation. really can't pay any words that would do this justice other than thank you for sharing.

10 incredibly dumb people disliked this.
I just don't get why you would dislike such a master piece like this.
Always the odd idiots
All the dislikes must be from disappointed ladies who noticed the ring on his finger. Cit.
Utterly divine. If only you could bottle this, man ...

Thank you very much! :)
I cried.
I love this so much, it’s my favorite song in the whole entire world
I love this song so much and love classical guitar…this is a dream
I've always loved this piece of music. But what a fantastic arrangement, and so beautifully played! Wonderful 👏👏👏👏
People don't know how good this is. This should have 10 million views.
