Shaun, I met you 15 years ago when you were busking at 1st street station in Rehoboth beach Delaware. I was 10 years old, you were playing out front of my parents store studios S. You blew all of our minds, even mine at 10 and i had not picked up an instrument yet. Fast forward in 27 now and been playing and studying music for a couple years now. Your name still gets passed around, thinking back to that special summer…. I hope our paths cross again. Wish you the best man ❤
Media famous guitarists are cool but the ones like him who's name travels on the winds has always been so much cooler, like the great travelling bluesman of the yesteryear.
Thank you so much, brother! I actually didn't write either piece.. The first is a traditional Irish piece called "Merrily Kissed the Quakers Wife" that I learned from Sam Pacetti. Amazing guitarist!!! :) and the second was written by Andy Mckee, very innovative player! :)
Hey Blake! Thank you for this comment!! I'm glad you enjoy my guitar playing :) I try my best to respond to everyone because they have invested time in writing me so it just seems like the right thing to do. Thanks again, bro!
This piece is called Merrily Kissed The Quaker. There's a version on guitar by the master Pierre Bensusan, as well as a more traditional band version by Planxty, on Spotify. It is not this cover of course - but the piece is wonderful in every rendition. :)
Been listening to you since I met you in Charlotte with Tim, your music is a mainstay in our family, a sweet haunting of when my wife and I fell in love, and a whisper of the places we've been both emotionally and physically. Truly a poet in a commercial world, stay with it my friend.
me and my dad have just sat and watched this, im an acustic artist myself and my dad is the drummer for dragonforce a very fast prog,metal band and even he was shocked at your speed, your a true insparation for me that the sky is the limit, peace
Not only are you an incredible guitarist, but you seem to have a great attitude. You're about the only famous youtuber that actually comments back to his fans! Which is awesome. You're an inspiration bro, so keep it up!
What a pleasure to see and hear. Reaches my soul - I have this tune in my heart being an O'Brien. I play a few basic guitar chords but I have Parkinsin's and am a bit slow in some fingers. Rock on Shaun.
Gracious! You are incredible! I was pulled in by 0:03 and entranced by 0:13 and felt as if on a ride through the land of my ancestors until the end. Thank you so very very much for sharing. Absolutely wonderful!
I commented previously how much awesome Shaun is, but once I learned the actual name of the tune, Merrily Kissed the Quaker , and searched for other versions, this version is the very best. That driving alternating bass line is so killer.
There are many artists out there in the world, but a rare, select few are what I'd classify as elite craftsman. You, sir, are a craftsman. You know your craft well and it truly shows. It's a joy to watch you play. Thank you for recording this and sharing it. It was truly a gift.
So precise and unique! very inspiring! The whole thing flows like a happy bubbly brook in the forest! Great harmonics and percussion. You obviously practice a whole lot! You are an inspiration and a supreme master at your craft! Thank you so much! Very enjoyable at every moment of the song.
I’m floored. Every time I thought I had a grip on this thing you added some new technique that impressed me even more. I’m sad it took me this long to find this. Great sound on that Maton too!!
I'm officially addicted to your music. This one really has me in awe. While I am perfectly content just listening, I really enjoy your videos and watching the passion you put into each piece. Watching you perform also put into perspective just how talented you truly are. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift and please keep the videos coming! :)
Great drifting,I love the way TE signs he's auto so neatly. Sean, this is a wonderful tune, the sound through my head-phones when turned up seems like I'm 2 feet away. I'll be checking out ur other tunes for sure. Mike.

Every day this is not on Spotify, my mind deteriorates

@@ReiImpact Wow! I did not expect an answer! Thank you so much!
Sean hopper the world peace prize for this awesomeness
Wow. Only 11 years late to this. Amazing playing. Inspirational.

That is outstanding. If I had one penny of his talent…
merrily kissed the quaker the tune is called. Pierre Bensusan arranged it first for guitar, he took it from a Planxty album.
Straight up MASTER of acoustic
A tune I've been playing for years on my bouzouki. But after hearing this I feel like giving up. Bloody marvellous !
Not only are you an incredible guitarist, but you seem to have a great attitude. You're about the only famous youtuber that actually comments back to his fans! Which is awesome. You're an inspiration bro, so keep it up!
can someone help me find my jaw? I dropped it over here somewhere.
Typical reaction.
@DJ KarameloKaramelo KarameloKaramelo Not mine!! Joshko Stephan (Hey Joe) Luca Stricignoli (Sweet Child of Mine or the Showman)
