Hi guys! This sample is from the new DVD that just came out on candyrat dot com, and the tabs for that piece and some new stuff as well! Check it out! Antoine Dufour
I have been coming back here and playing this and other videos for a number of years. When you are in the mood for "beautiful", this is a great place to start.
the harmonics and tapping he starts doin around 48 seconds are absolutely mindblowing! To be able to go in two directions like that at once on guitar is just jaw dropping.
He must love his mother a lot... because this is nothing less than absolutely amazing. 30 seconds of this song feels like an eternity because of the complexity of technique. feels like i could just listen to it forever.
People like Antoine can express music on an age old instument without reading of a sheet...It's called from the heart!!! If you notice his eyes are closed playin this passage..I just wish my right hand could do what his does...cheers all.....
Learning to play this is one challenge in itself. Writing it on the other hand... Thats a whole new world. I consider myself to be a fairly talented musician, but I don't ever picture a time where I will be able to write something so intricate with all those nuances.
#1 tune on my iPod right now. Can't stop playing it. Get's stuck in my head and I have to hear it again, and again. Very cool groove. Awesome use of bass line. Great writing.
Still can't believe this song was released 7 years ago! Makes me sick how fast time is going!! and still to this day this song gives me goosebumps. Phenomenal song writing!
A powerful statement for a powerful song/musician. Dear Antoine, if you ever feel down or just having a bad day, let this remind you how important your music is to people. Everytime I come home from a shitty day at work, stressed out, or just feeling down, your music relaxes me and brings me back up to par on emotions. Bravo man. Shaun
You shouldn't feel bad. I've been playing for 42 years and it still takes a lot of effort to produce the desired sound and mood. The solution is much practice to develope "muscle memory" and work on developing your technique and timing. Finding the right notes, though not always easy, is the easy part. If it's in your heart, you'll do it.
This is truly a lovely tribute to his Mother. A song, a tune, work of art whatever!!!! It is BEAUTIFUL, this is all I know. Get over it and STAY away from grammar, a touchy subject with lil ole me. : -)))))))
amazing. I bought the album, heard the song, thought it sounded like there was more than one guitar playing so searched for the video, sure enough it was just him playing multiple line on his own.
Not only are his songs genius and amazing, but if you watch his tutorials he's a pretty lighthearted guy. Always goofing off and laughing. Doesn't take himself to seriously, although I take him seriously. One of my newest favorites. haha.
i watch this video atleast once a day, the great thing is antoine has found an absolutely amazing balance between technicality and melody. Where a lot of guitarists will go for all out flashy playing. This song is truly brilliant
Antoine Dufour is the reason I push myself so hard to excel at guitar. Sure, there will always be somebody better than me, but just sitting on my back porch tapping away while I stare at the pond really makes me feel home, content, and warm all at once. It singlehandedly helped my depression vanish. I only hope that one day I can make it look as easy and natural as he does. I owe him!
there are so many subtle right hand techniques in here its amazing. I also cant get over the accuracy of the harmonics. I still have a few years of practice, and then some more to get there.
Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour leave me speechless..... amazing musicians and I love the path this music is taking...... I love enjoying this great music with people but I haven't found anybody who understands it like I do...... anyway thanks for the great music guys keep it up.
Antoine, you are it man! This and Ashes in the Sea, and Scratch are a tribute to working hard at your music to let your feelings really be heard. Please keep it up!!!
Man i've been listening to your music for some years now. And this song is still kinda special to me n some kind of way, i say its one of your best. Keep it up antoine.
This is easily one of my fav Antoine songs so much passion and love was put into composing this piece, and I consider it a total honor that Rpoland accepted my Cover of this song as a video response. Thank you
26 dislikes, we are enjoying a finely written novel while they are barely reading "see spot run." You are right, its the ability to enjoy the layers that make this song truly enjoyable.
00:00 - 00:20 reminds me of a mother standing over her child watching it play with love and warmth 00:20 - 00:47 is like a warm hug your mother used to give when u were a child... I soooo love that begining!
The versatility of the acoustic guitar is what makes it one of the greatest instruments of our time. The way the candyrat artists can play melody while simultaneously striking out a percussive rhythm is beautiful, whether it's the way McKee hits the guitar body or the way Dufour was using the muted strikes of the low E string. These pieces are so amazing because every single audible noise coming from the instrument is there by design, it's part of the composition. You don't get that out of tabs.
This song is absolutely amazing, by far his best yet, 5 Stars all the way! The type of harmonic he is using is called pinch harmonics. When you hit the fret with your finger and produce a harmonic it's a slap harmonic.
such a amazing song Candy rat is soooo fucking good best acoustic players around !! i want them to do a big tour and come to vancouver BC would love to see these guys live
Much of it comes from a good musical education I think. I have a lot of faith in the music education in our universities. Mr. Dufour went though a classical guitar degree program. They teach you all the necessary music theory and technique necessary. So, with some talent, of which Mr. Dufour has an astounding amount of, you can make some wonderful stuff that you couldn't have done without the education.
dang son your playin is the shit i learned how to play this song but this is one of the few songs that only sounds good when the original writer plays this hands down one of the greatest acoustic guitar players around keep it up cause were still listenin
2:58 and on, I've never heard anyone rock the thumbpick like Antoine, unbelivable. I might have heard a nice bassrip, or Bomba Checka by Eric Turnbull, but!!! that stunning thumbpickbass plus the sweet melody is all new to me. Havent heard anything like it, love it.
i tried learning this a few years ago, when i was still fairly new to guitar. it didnt go very well, but i would love to try again now that im more experienced. great piece! true genius
How the hell can he play like this... I'm just too impressed by him I've been studying fingerstyle for 5 years and i haven't got 1/10 of dufour's technique, Shit i love you man
This is pure talent, there is no supernatural here please do not lower the struggle and practice the man has went through by simple saying it is god doing it.
Man this guy is something else. Wow. He plays well and the music is something I could listen to all of the time as well. In fact I do often. Some people play well and some people write well. He Does both! I have been trying to learn this since I got the tabs. I'm doing okay but still got a ways to go. I am a little past the harmonics. Sometimes I nail them, most of the time I don't. lol
Brilliant. I finally caught a pattern he has throughout many of his songs. A lot of his tunings are like this. The bottom string is tuned to the name key as the main part of his song , and the top 4 strings are tuned in the same key but a different scale all the time. That way he can change scales at the bottom with easy while still harmonizing with the top open strings. His use of downward strikes with the fingernails sporadically at 2:12 show that.
Hi guys! This sample is from the new DVD that just came out on candyrat dot com, and the tabs for that piece and some new stuff as well! Check it out!
Antoine Dufour
12 years and still going. One of my favorite songs ever. Makes me think of my mom. Beautiful song.
My favourite Antoine piec.
He's so technical but still manages to be breathtakingly emotional, and that's really rare.
x
- Antoine Dufour , just a genius. He's amazing. That's tha way you do music ' Congratulations '
Antoine's mother, thanks for being awesome and raising such an awesome son.
Can't stop replaying this
I have been coming back here and playing this and other videos for a number of years. When you are in the mood for "beautiful", this is a great place to start.
this song is a masterpiece
Shit I’m still here too 💯
the harmonics and tapping he starts doin around 48 seconds are absolutely mindblowing! To be able to go in two directions like that at once on guitar is just jaw dropping.
its amazing how he comes up with this himself
i love him and andy mckee. their styles are so different but their songs are equally beautiful.
Dude, exactly.
The part at 2:58 and on just blows my mind. The bass rhythm contrasted with the melody and harmonics is brilliant. Absolutely love this tune.
I can ALMOST play this beauty, thank you Antoine for so much guitar magic.
My mum died of cancer not long ago. I’m learning this song for her. Thank you Antoine
That's it exactly. I can always crank these songs up, kick back and forget my troubles for a while.
He must love his mother a lot... because this is nothing less than absolutely amazing. 30 seconds of this song feels like an eternity because of the complexity of technique. feels like i could just listen to it forever.
agreed. there isnt a word in the english language to decribe the amazingly beautifully magnificent song we are listening to.
People like Antoine can express music on an age old instument without reading of a sheet...It's called from the heart!!! If you notice his eyes are closed playin this passage..I just wish my right hand could do what his does...cheers all.....
Learning to play this is one challenge in itself. Writing it on the other hand... Thats a whole new world.

#1 tune on my iPod right now. Can't stop playing it. Get's stuck in my head and I have to hear it again, and again. Very cool groove. Awesome use of bass line. Great writing.
Mr Dufour, the music that flows through you is trancendant, complex...simple... I am awe struck.
wish this kind of talent was more appreciated by society, fantastic song too!
Best I've heard from him so far. It really does seem like he's growing better as time goes by, in a big way.
This music makes your day happy, even when you think it's the worst of all! Superb...
Still can't believe this song was released 7 years ago! Makes me sick how fast time is going!! and still to this day this song gives me goosebumps. Phenomenal song writing!
That 240p though.
Antoine is no longer a shooting star, but one of the points of light that shines brightly in the constellation of acoustic guitar greats.
It says you wrote this comment 7 years ago. Time is a crazy concept.
@@leroyjenkins6109 14 years ago now!!! Still listen to this song every other day!
My favorite acoustic guitar music ever. Third comment on this music... CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT.
A powerful statement for a powerful song/musician.
Dear Antoine, if you ever feel down or just having a bad day, let this remind you how important your music is to people. Everytime I come home from a shitty day at work, stressed out, or just feeling down, your music relaxes me and brings me back up to par on emotions.
Bravo man.
Shaun
Just listening to this guy and Andy makes my day happy. Watching them while playing COMPLETES my day :D
You shouldn't feel bad. I've been playing for 42 years and it still takes a lot of effort to produce the desired sound and mood.
The solution is much practice to develope "muscle memory" and work on developing your technique and timing. Finding the right notes, though not always easy, is the easy part.
If it's in your heart, you'll do it.
Antoine makes great use of the thumbpick in this video... I love the muted strumming and the harmonics towards the end. He's incredible.
This is a man who puts his whole heart, mind and soul into his music. I feel undeserving to even listen to it.
This guy can play. He makes it look so easy. Wonderful harmonics.
This is truly a lovely tribute to his Mother. A song, a tune, work of art whatever!!!! It is BEAUTIFUL, this is all I know. Get over it and STAY away from grammar, a touchy subject with lil ole me. : -)))))))
Let me tell you. What a groove. I've already commented in this music, but I can't get enough of it. Thank you so much for this excelency.
YOU"RE MY IDOL ANTOINE!!! LIKE OMG
such skill
its one thing to learn to play this but its another to compose it.......
can't wait to see you live......
One of the most beautiful compositions ever..
Thank you Antoine, Andy, and Don for making my work days that much more enjoyable.
amazing. I bought the album, heard the song, thought it sounded like there was more than one guitar playing so searched for the video, sure enough it was just him playing multiple line on his own.
Like so many of his songs. Reality and Paroxysm are my favorites and they both have the multi-instrument feel, and it's all him.
Damn the more I listen to this song the more I get addicted to it... Can´t wait for the album to come out! Antoine u keep outdoing yourself!
Not only are his songs genius and amazing, but if you watch his tutorials he's a pretty lighthearted guy. Always goofing off and laughing. Doesn't take himself to seriously, although I take him seriously. One of my newest favorites. haha.
definitely one of my favorite antoine songs ever...if not just favorite acoustic songs ever.
i watch this video atleast once a day, the great thing is antoine has found an absolutely amazing balance between technicality and melody. Where a lot of guitarists will go for all out flashy playing. This song is truly brilliant

God bless Mr.Dufour and Candyrat records for bringing balanse to the force : )
that was one of the most well spent 4 minutes of my life
Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour leave me speechless..... amazing musicians and I love the path this music is taking...... I love enjoying this great music with people but I haven't found anybody who understands it like I do...... anyway thanks for the great music guys keep it up.
I wish that I had the same ability to express my emotiones through a guitar like that... wow.
I literally have watched this like 50 times.
harmonics are out of this world...shivers!
...i could watch your right finger work all day (some amazing left-brain stuff coming into both my ears) !
Antoine, you are it man! This and Ashes in the Sea, and Scratch are a tribute to working hard at your music to let your feelings really be heard. Please keep it up!!!
Every time I listen to this song, I like it more and more and more
Jesus, he keeps getting better. Absolutely incredible!
Ça sonne super bien ce dvd, les compos sont bonnes. Je vous le recommande à tous.
Tom
Man i've been listening to your music for some years now. And this song is still kinda special to me n some kind of way, i say its one of your best. Keep it up antoine.
This is the song that inspired me the most from Antoine Dufour, I love the harmonics!.
Mr. Dufour needs more attention in my opinion.
been following his music since 7 years ago some of the best composing I've ever seen in my life !!! thank God for amazing talent like this
This was the last Antoine album I listened to. Hearing this again makes me feel like I should go get his newest ones.
This is easily one of my fav Antoine songs so much passion and love was put into composing this piece, and I consider it a total honor that Rpoland accepted my Cover of this song as a video response. Thank you
Thank you for this heavenly sound!!
Hugs
Natasha

Antoine... I envi you in every single way.
You're music is so amazing.
I want to hear this tune all days in my life... Antoine it is truly wonderful!
THANK YOU!
Antoine Dufour is one of my favorite guitarists, what amazing skill
00:00 - 00:20 reminds me of a mother standing over her child watching it play with love and warmth
00:20 - 00:47 is like a warm hug your mother used to give when u were a child... I soooo love that begining!
Probably the most inspirational and beautiful piece I have ever heard on guitar. 5 out of 5. So clean and such strong emotion!
Another hit from Sir Antoine!!
Well done!!!!
The versatility of the acoustic guitar is what makes it one of the greatest instruments of our time. The way the candyrat artists can play melody while simultaneously striking out a percussive rhythm is beautiful, whether it's the way McKee hits the guitar body or the way Dufour was using the muted strikes of the low E string. These pieces are so amazing because every single audible noise coming from the instrument is there by design, it's part of the composition. You don't get that out of tabs.
Everytime I hear a new one of Antoines it becomes my favorite haha. He tells a phenomenal story with his changes and tones. Crazy badass good!
This song makes my heart more peaceful, antoine thanks for this song.
WoW! AN AMAZING STYLE no doubt ,,,tough to play twice the same every time.the recording quality is great too.,,,,,pro. Brett Lemos
First time listening and already I like it, that's impressive.
I think this is the most impressive out of any of the candyrat instrumentals. The thumb picking in particular... awesome.
oooh i love the part from 00:21 to 00:39 its sooo full of beauty and optimism. Awesome work antoine,cant wait for the album
if i met a guy who could play like antoine dufour, i'd probably fall in love with him.
no joke.
This song is absolutely amazing, by far his best yet, 5 Stars all the way! The type of harmonic he is using is called pinch harmonics. When you hit the fret with your finger and produce a harmonic it's a slap harmonic.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Incredibly beautiful. Perfect.
siempre buenisimo,,,,antoine ..gracias por oirte ..my hero spain
such a amazing song
Candy rat is soooo fucking good
best acoustic players around !!
i want them to do a big tour and come to vancouver BC

Shit i love you man
That sentence was truly spectacular.
omfg that was truly spectacular... it made me so relaxed right when it started to the very ended
This is pure talent, there is no supernatural here please do not lower the struggle and practice the man has went through by simple saying it is god doing it.
Man this guy is something else. Wow. He plays well and the music is something I could listen to all of the time as well. In fact I do often. Some people play well and some people write well.

Greatt!! Awesome melody, Great song to compose for mother
