For those who don't understand this playstyle: This is extremely difficult to do. The amount of patience, coordination, timing, practice and beating your head against the wall to make sure every note and progression is on point is time consuming. Props to you for this video and arrangement. You've earned my sub.
The playstyle itself isn't extremely difficult. It's pretty simple stuff actually, and if you get a good teacher, it's the first thing you'll learn after the basics. At least that's how it went for me. This arrangement seems pretty accessible too: seems pretty easy to coordinate, at the very least. And I'm not criticizing, quite the contrary: this guy sells tabs and scores for people who are obviously going to be less skilled than he is (like me, for instance), and he managed to make an arrangement for Billie Jean that's both very accurate and reasonably simple. That requires skills far beyond simply playing guitar.
@@Harold046 "Pretty simple stuff." Oh boy... yeah... 🙄Maybe once you've done it for years and years. I've been learning just basic fingerstyle with a teacher for the past two years (after a few years of strumming), and dude... it is HARD to get your fingers to cooperate. Even Tommy Emmanuel and Mark Knopfler say, "It's not easy to pick up. Gotta be patient!" This right here is decidedly not simple stuff. Except for you, of course. 🙄
@@StefanGBucher Not just me. My whole country. We don't even have a word for "fingerstyle" in my language : we just call it "playing the guitar" :D ! Imagine how puzzled I was when I realized that english-speaking-people called that "a technique", and even had a name for it ! Where I'm from, it's not a technique, and kids at music school learn it first, right after the basics, and years before they learn strumming (which is pretty much a single-lesson thing). I'm not saying that it's easy either. Takes a few years to pick up. My point is that this level of difficulty is pretty much what you should expect when picking up any instrument. If you don't do fingerstyle, then you're as much of a guitarist as someone who can only play the piano with one hand is a pianist.
Hello! I am from Russia. I watch you lessons, in 2013 years old. Me was 14 years old in 2013. And I learn more music or finger style, for you video. Now me 22, and I see you video and learn new music. Very Great Teacher in you tube. Thank you! Sorry i m bad speak English. От души спасибо, как говорят по русски.
At first, I thought there was a looper somewhere, but on closer inspection, I noticed that you were actually playing that walking bass line as well as the solo parts simultaneously. Hats off man!🙌🏾🙌🏾
True story. But one deciding factor is can they write and perform their own music is what makes u great. And not saying anything about this guy. Just I know tyere are alot of beast musicians stuck in their garage cuz they Cant write their own music
It's super impressive but really it just takes a bunch of practice. I got about 80% as good as this after about five years of practice. It's all about learning one technique at a time and combining them.
Wow-the walking bass line at the same time as the melody and chord accents - this is so much harder than it looks, and it already LOOKS damn near impossible! Fantastic.

An arrangement for Slow Dancing in a Burning Room would be amazing! Guus music did a fingerstyle arrangement but an actual lesson on a fingerstyle arrangement of that song would be incredible
@@home-daddy-slice9697 allegations are allegations, whether or not Michael Jackson did that shit isn't truly known but what is known is that Michael was one extremely talented and skilled artist.
This cover was so good I finally decided to pick up my guitar and learn it. After 3 months of excruciating work and practice, I finally learned how to play the first 10 seconds 😒
You can either start by taking guitar lessons specifically for "fingerstyle" guitar... or... learn everything you can in general over a 40 year span.... by the time you've been avidly playing and accomplished for 40 years, you will just sit back and appreciate this. If you want to play along, it's not even issue. There are many levels of musicianship. Remember how both Eddie Van Halen and Elton John could play ANYTHING they heard and play it right back note-for-note first time. True story. Many of us can do this. If you are born and raised in an extremely musical family, and even more so with some type of percussion, this is your gig right here. It pays pretty decently... the only thing... you have to practice daily... all those years and even after you learn this stuff. Like martial arts or any other type of art, it's a LIFETIME venture, but don't ever look or listen to this as something that is impossible. It should be fun and easy... once you have reached that 'advanced' or 'accomplished' level. Check out some violinists sometime. It's so easy to see and hear who the truly great musicians are... just like anything else, those with special skills always stand out....
This video is worth commenting! I really like how you do the bass accompanying the melody in a perfect time. You sound like an orchestra. Good job Gareth 😄
1.2 k like 0 dislike.... You r amazing gareth.... No matter that you dont get views that you should got... I think there r not a single person who hates you.. everybody loves you❤️... i hope someday you'll get the fame that you should got way way before... one of your big fan from India 😊❤️
Why my guitar doesn’t do this? :c Just kidding. Mind blowing arrangement, Gareth. You always manage to overcome yourself again and again. Love from Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️
To help understand the intricacies of this piece, minimize the screen and just listen to the audio. Then remember that this is just a single instrument.
This is a hell of arrangement! So clean so good so lively, it’s so great I think will never be able to do that even if I spend the rest of my life playing Fingerstyle guitar.
He is the whole band playing the whole lines vocals bass harmony rhythm percussive. This is the no.1 fingerstyle cover of this song I meant that bro. I seen other acoustic guitar players not even close to this. I used to play guitar I'm 43 years old I started at 14 practice 10hours a day stinky no showers hold on to bathroom breaks lol 😂 I'm not very good at all compare to Gareth he's the OG 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thankyou mate this video made my day 👍 I think I will stick to learning recorder with hot cross buns than guitar

Nice. . . very nice!!!! Makes me what to pick up my skates, even though I could never skate, and go skating. .. or making some smooth curves while coming down a ski hill, but my 68 year old knees can't handle skiing anymore. SO . . . I'm just bobbin in my chair. . . NIce. .nice very nice.
This is crazy awesome! I've heard a lot of versions of this song arranged for fingerstyle guitar, but this arrangement is brings something new and fresh to the table.

Yeah, some people in the comments don't believe it, but it's true. This can all be done with one pair of hands 🙌
Me too
@GarethEvansYT you're incredible. I really love this!
The musicians on YT these days are absolutely INCREDIBLE. And there are SO MANY...
True!!!
No. They were beasts before youtube. Not THESE DAYS.
they was always great. there was just no internet to explore these ...

This is so good it’s almost hard to believe your eyes and ears
This is the best sounding fingerstyle arrangement for this song
th-cam.com/video/QEFoMlUyS1U/w-d-xo.html
As good as this is, Naudo's version might be another level up (the video where he's sitting in front of a restaurant).
This was even better than I expected. I’m so jealous that you can do that

What a groove. Captured the original in all its swagger.
That's ... genius. That's all I've got. Incredible.
Wow I can’t imagine how hard this must be to do. Congratulations. MJ would be proud.
Best guitar arrangement of this song I have ever heard. Man the coordination and timing all those things ... incredible.
Wow-the walking bass line at the same time as the melody and chord accents - this is so much harder than it looks, and it already LOOKS damn near impossible! Fantastic.

this arrangement has more voices than the san diego childrens choir
WHY would 84 people gives this AMAZING solo a "thumbs down"??!
It's EXACTLY as described and almost certainly the very BEST they ever heard!!
You don’t understand because you aren’t aware how often touch their screens by accident.
This man deserves a million subscriber❤️
This video is worth commenting! I really like how you do the bass accompanying the melody in a perfect time. You sound like an orchestra. Good job Gareth 😄
I feel this is gonna be your greatest hit. The amount of effort you put in this is unbelievable.
Absolutely marvellous and out of this world melody and rendition. No words to express the bliss
Hoping for atleast a million views and likes on this...insane play as always... Can't wait to try the tutorials for this❤️❤️❤️

Me too from Philippines
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! THIS GUY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD , Just WOW!!!
Watching such capable guitarists encourages me to relearn guitar from scratch.
I have to say that is one of the most impressive renditions of a remake on acoustic I've ever seen!! very well done you are talented musician...
To help understand the intricacies of this piece, minimize the screen and just listen to the audio. Then remember that this is just a single instrument.
Absolutely amazing. The percussion, the melody, and the voice... all with one instrument and two hands. Bravo!
Such a complete and fine arrangement, Sir.
By far you're best yet. Absolutely insanely good. Can't tell you how long I've been listening over and over to this ❤️
Wow. I don't even see where some of these notes come from. Magic
That's proficient use of open string vocabulary for ya
One of the finest (not the best) finger pick/strum youtube examples!
This tune is impossible to play in guitar, fantastic play❤🎉😮
This is a hell of arrangement! So clean so good so lively, it’s so great I think will never be able to do that even if I spend the rest of my life playing Fingerstyle guitar.
Now that's a whole new level. 😅
I agree
Tell me ABOUT it man, that's something else.lol WOW.

I swear that this vid deserve all the likes! Shame to those who will press that thumbs down button 😒
Ok, that's some next level skill. Amazing Base + Melody whilst maintaining the rhythm!
It’s the best version that I’ve had see. Amazing. Congratulations.
Amazing technique - so good it looks almost impossible!
Wow. Awesome 👍. I really appreciate that Gareth Evans. Keep it up the good work.
This is just insane. I'm speechless. I cannot stop watching it. BRAVO.
Gareth is so underrated, amazing solo.
My guitar will start doing moonwalk !!! You are legend Gareth Greetings from India 🇮🇳
That's some serious level of skill right there...impressive, from a fingerpicker to another!
Gareth Evans you are a master at ‘spanking the plank.’ An inspiration to us all. Well done !
Best cover I've seen by far, considering the others that also play the beat and bass in sync with the chords!
Props to you, mate!
Fricken Excellent!!!
wtf?? i watched you on the PGG channel, I had NO IDEA you were a master guitar player! thats awesome!
Surprise!
Such expertise will not go unrewarded.
Fantastic! What beautiful hands you have (as well as the superb playing)
I love your arrangements for creating grand sounds that are full of no gaps.😊❤
"Need the tabs, link in the description"
Ha, good one.
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice, do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
