- A little arrangement of the classic Springsteen song. Using a Fender Custom Shop Chicago Special. Only available at Chicago Music Exchange.
Using Roland street cube and a Shure MV88 mic into iPhone.
His touch, the dynamics, the nuance… it sounds like Bruce is singing the song. This is tremendous. It’s perfect. 10/10 only because you can’t be more perfect than perfect. Wow.
Thank you so much!
Pięknie czyli beautiful.
This guy is something.
Such en elegant and thoughtful rendition, pure genius. So beautiful! Playing it over and over.
Sublime and elegant. No worlds left to conquer. Bravo sir bravo.
Some of those harmonics had ASMR feels. Right between the ears. And also bits felt a little like a murkier version of Dylan's Buckets of Rain. Good stuff.
Such a beautiful song executed so tasteful. Thank you Nathaniel.
Damn. Those dynamics you're achieving. And those harmonics...very well done.
This is absolutely incredible, just stumbled onto your channel, looking forward to seeing more mate 🍻
Wow that was just lovely, really enjoyed the celtic embellishments as well.
amazing song.... and yet again another BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!! wow what an outstanding tele
You are absolutely amazing 💙🎸🌟🎶🌟🎸💙
great sound, technique and arrangement
Yes me son!
Stupenda ❤❤❤
First guitarist I've listened to in a long time that didn't make me miss the band they were covering and I fucking love the boss and this song in particular. I have no idea how you do this because I've heard plenty of people do something similar but this is actually good enough somehow.
Wonderful!!! ❤
I love this!!!! i can listen to this and not feel like a pedophile and just appreciate the music !!! great job !! Ill be back
great job
🙌🏼⚡️💕
Really nice!🔥
Wow, would I be able to use this for a video? Obviously would credit you?
Inspiration. Time to fire up my neglected gear.
Sounds beautiful Nathaniel!🔥🔥🔥🔥💥
The main man!! Thanks so much Rick! 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Rick, you've gotta be the man with the right connections... get Bruce to see this.... Wouldn't it be fantastic if Mr. Murphy was a guest performer for The Boss on stage! Just sayin' I have faith in you!
It really does!
You gotta get Nathaniel on an episode

Besides here where can we see you play live?
Fender should just pay this guy and make this a Telecaster commercial, because I absolutely want to buy one now.
thank you youtube algo, this was brilliant
this is one of the most beautiful guitar arrangements i've ever heard in my life
For anyone interested in understanding it a little better: He posted on IG that it was in open E-tuning with the exception of the high b-string being tuned down to F#. That's how he gets that one particular harmonic. (No clue how he got that idea! Please correct me if I'm wrong). That should help people understand his left hand a little more. Your posts are amazing Nathaniel!
Thanks David! You are correct. A big priority was getting the harmonics to ring out for as long as possible as they were mimicking the keyboard part of the song.
However, with the B string being tuned down so low, it was nigh on impossible for it to stay in tune due to the gauge of the string. For this one, I actually got a tech at the store to put on a G string where the B would normally be and just tuned that to F#. Worked well but had intonation issues if you listen carefully you might be able to hear it.
@@Zeppelinbarnatra 🤟
Based on his left positions I figured it was some kind of open tuning. Thanks for pointing out exactly what it is ~
Ha. Tuning was my first question. Thanks for this!
I got to the open E tuning and kept trying to play along. Huge thanks for the clarification. Such a beautiful tune, played with such passion and clear sense of purpose. Cheers!
I come back to this video at least 4 times a week, it’s incredible
This is just outstanding! The song is one of my favorites and this version is nothing short of spectacular. I could drive across the US with this on repeat. Thank you! 🙏🤘
Shane Sully
Thank you Shane! Glad ya liked it! It’s a great song. Always wanted to get around to arranging it.
I LOVE THIS FUCKIN ARRANGEMENT SO MUCH!!!so much,,,,,I cant stop listening to it,,,love the harmonics,,I feel that harmonics,natural, and artificial, are the most gorgeous sound, a stringed instrument can possibly produce,,,I've yet to hear any sound to match it,in this life,,,, tho a wood thrush' song, (a bird),,comes close,,( google it,,,you WONT believe it)!!!!,,,hauntingly brilliant,,,if God allows us mere mortals, such exquisite sounds,here, on earth,,,,imagine what awaits us , in Heaven????,,,,,dude you must have three brains ,all firing at one harmony,,,just subbed,,,,mesmerized!!!!!THANKS for the blessing, bro!!!!😎
Looking at the tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear I have and realizing he’s playing a Roland street cube is one hell of a perspective check. Killer playing sir
Same. Goes to show us that playing is everything.
@@brianosborne9393 tone is nothing without the right notes!
It’s all in the fingers and those amp settings!
Gear does not make the player
The player makes the gear
@@zeitghost1321 Let's not pretend that the CORRECT gear doesn't matter. There are a lot of tools available to us, and it's a lot of damn fun.
Amazing Adam Jones from Tool posted you on his instagram story.This is beautiful! Nice job sir!
THAT is better than Bruce Springsteen's original. Not. Kidding.
Omg. Your style is incredible. Precision, owning that neck. Standard tuning?
Edit: open e. Switching out gauge strings is next level.
This was one of the finest examples of dynamics and attention to the slightest of details. Very well done.
Gorgeous arrangement
Cheers Ctop!! 🤘🤘
Fucking awesome. Any tabs available?
I think it’s safe to say we are all on fire at this point.
Anyone been able to break this one down and/or know of any tutorials?
Amazing how much your arrangements are able to capture in one instrument. it's got the tenderness and the power of the original all at once
Damn. I've never seen a pinky longer than an index finger before.
Sometimes music that’s really good makes me cry. Hard to type when you can’t see. So beautiful.
that's how you know you're a music lover. i still get goosebumps from songs i've heard hundreds of times :)
Looks like somebody watched Pig
Really love this arrangement. He's totally on fire🔥
Hi Nathaniel, so great and beutiful (cannot stop watching). This is one of my favorite song, but your arrangement makes it even more emotional. Any chance to get tabs ? thanks for all. Cheers
What a stunning arrangement and cover! I can't stop listening to it on repeat :) I echo the others, a tab would be amazing! Or even a short video where you explain the concept on how to play. Loved the harmonics and really cool how you put a higher gauge string on the B to help with the harmonics and tuning, super cool
Sounds dropped d ❤
@@70snuttodd95 Open E
. Sounds really great
I come back to this video every several months, and it just gets better and better. Killer playing!
I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this, thank you.
Would love a tutorial of this if you ever found the time! Truly a stunning arrangement of an iconic song!
Same!
THIS was a JOY to listen to. So ducking good.. Another thing... I hate you! I can not un-hear this. Really good playing!
I have come back to this about 18 times ... because it's so F-ing good. I get really inspirited opf this video.
Stuff like this motivates me to keep playing, absolutely fantastic.
I imagine this is how Jaco Pastorius would play guitar..
I wish he would bring a tutorial out for this, makes me wanna cry man it’s beautiful.
Guess I need to buy a Tele now
Beautiful…love to watch and feel someone play music,,makes me jealous. 😊
Oye niña, ¿está tu papá en casa?
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
¿Se fue y te dejó sola?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
Mmmm
Mhmm
tengo un mal deseo
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, estoy en llamas
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Dime ahora, cariño, ¿es bueno contigo?
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
¿Y puede él hacerte las cosas que yo hago?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh, no
Oh no
Puedo llevarte más alto
I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, estoy en llamas
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
A veces es como si alguien tomara un cuchillo, nena
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Nervioso y aburrido y cortado un valle de seis pulgadas
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
A través de la mitad de mi cráneo
Through the middle of my skull
Por la noche me despierto con las sábanas empapadas
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
Y un tren de carga corriendo por el medio de mi cabeza
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Solo tu puedes enfriar mi deseo
Only you can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh, estoy en llamas
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, estoy en llamas
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, estoy en llamas
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Nathaniel, you killed it! That was beautiful! What a great song.
Exquisite playing, Nathaniel. Making that Tele sing! Question... is your MV88 mic mounted on the camera and picking up the amp sound in the room? Or... do you have the mic directly in front of your amp? Thank you!
Fingerstyle with a pick...not the same thing. It sounds beautiful but this is click bait. 0/10 for the deception 10/10 for farming engagement
That was awesome. I can only use a pick because of an old right hand injury and I love the way finger picking sounds. Although you used your fingers, most of it was done with a pick. I'm definitely going to use this as an inspiration to get better at that 🙂Subscribed!
Makes almost want to go buy this telecaster on sale. Beautiful job!!!🔥🔥🔥💯
Awesome, Nathaniel. You are truly inspirational. Great living room tone too: clean, articulate and raunchy!
Sounds beautiful. Beautiful guitar and finger work. But can we just slow down on all this fingerstyle fever, trying to replace the other main instrument, the VOCALS??
All these say to me is "I'm can mimick a great part of this great song, but I can't sing and play it myself". And that's just... Disappointing and missing 3/4 of the feeling. 😔
From u.k.
Not a Springsteen fan, but this track is in my top 20 of all time!
You nailed it pal!
Really enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved that.....totally elegant and beautifully simple.
This is great. But never could understand a purpose of developing a fingerstyle technique which emulates two guitars when there is a device called looper. Besides, one person can never sound like two people. Rolling Stones wouldn't sound right if Ron Wood and Keith Richards were one guy.
You are using a pick, this is not fingerstyle. It's hybrid or flat picking. Fingerstyle is just fingers, thus "fingerstyle."
Nice playing, regardless of the nutjob who has writing credit
Crazy! Absolute amazing! Thanks for sharing. Standard guitar tuning?
'hey little girl yer daddy home?' creeper deluxe
that pinky ain't f'ing around yikes I'm getting cramps. good go joe!
Damn dude your a fantastic player sounds amazing thanks algo
Absolutely beautiful. One of this nicest sounds I’ve heard for a long time. Thank you
I wish I could play this (beginner)
Nice ... very nice indeed.
Just not finger style though?
America.
My first guess was DADGAD ? Great playing indeed!
Yo imaginando que es Jared cuando se la toco a Brooke, aquí las que leyeron la última nota
What's your rig?? I love your tone!! That h/s tele is beautiful! 😍 The maple is so perfect for the harmonics. Not ashamed to say it brought me to tears. Bravo.
Woooooooooowwww! So I've just performed this at my local folk club and I thought I'd done a good job. So now I've listened to this I'm going to have a rethink. I think you guitaring is better but I definitely sang it better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 Bravo cant wait to hear alllll your other stuff. Your my new favourite find. Keep it up dude
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull.
Would really like the tabs of this song, one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard ❤
the lyrics are very suspect. beautiful playing tho
He just does Springsteen really well.Even better than Springsteen.
This is such a great arrangement! Still figuring out the tuning. Is it E B C# F# B E?
What kind of guitar tuning is this ? It sounds so beautiful ! Masterfully played sir
I hate springsteen but I can't deny this song fucks
Wow does Nathanial offer lessons for his arrangements or tabs or anything like that?
Majestic. Any chance we get the transcription??
Bro smiling through the bushy beard cus he knows how good he is 🤘🏼
Thank you for uploading this. It's so good to listen to🙂
Glad you liked it!
I didn’t remember to watch this today. Then I did 🎸
Great job but using a pick is not fingerstyle
My favorite guitar player from now on 🔥
Mate, I rarely comment but just wooow. How dare you make it soooo perfect!? ;) Not only the spirit of the song was captured but you excelled in dynamics, articulation and just fantastic feeling. Don’t remember anything in the last 10 years that gave me such chills as this performance. Thanks you!
The man who knows where to put his fingers... rispek 🙂
Frosty!
Beautiful man. You have this on tab?
Very fine rendition. I loved the tastefully placed use of harmonics. My Tele has a humbucker in the neck as well and I think they sound so good in the middle position with both pickups working. Cheers Nathaniel!
Thank you David! Humbuckers in teles are 👌
I watched for so long, wondered how. Then just listened. Beautiful
