It's simply one of the best performances for acoustic fingerstyle I've ever seen and listened to. I really like Andy's "Drifting" but thisone here deserves similar klickrates or more.
Quite the contrary. I was in the audience and I was totally stunned. I had never heard anything like this and just wanted to inhale every single note and concentrate on the music. You should have heard the standing ovation in the end... :-)
Dude you're incredible... I've been playing guitar since 95 and I've never seen someone with such a fresh and unique approach! Bravo and keep it up man... you're a star in the making!
5 years ago, this clip inspired me to record an album. Now, after release of said album, a couple of singles, and a very tumultuous year and a half in which my guitars quietly slumbered in their cases, I'm ready to do it again. Revisiting some old favorites for inspiration, and I realized that I never gave this video a like! So there it is, you're a force for good Petteri!
Hi Daniel! Thank you, happy to hear that the music has inspired you. Best of luck with the new album. I feel you, it's usually quite an effort for me too get a new release out there. Rock on!
Petteri Sariola's music is seriously top class. It's odd how he hasn't achieved more publicity. Compared to Andy Mckee and Eric Mongrain (Search youtube for those names) he's music is as superior as theirs. The way he plays is the result of super hard training. It's like one guitarist from million who can slam a guitar this way.
Wow !! Impressive energy broadcasted by an ACOUSTIC guitar only. Groovy and fresh. GUITAR SUIT UP (at my first glance I thought you were Neil Patrick Harris)
You are the Mark King of guitar! I've been trying to figure out how to mix slap bass with fingerstyle guitar for years and you just put it in my face! Nothing short of awesome. I guess I'll sell my guitar now!
To the folks watching this I have somewhat good news: recently, Don Ross has been contacted and asked to see if he had ever heard Sariola's work and could get him to tour more abroad in Ross's company. Ross responded with "No I haven't...till now. I'll check him out. Who knows?" Here's hoping more folks than those confined to central and northern Europe can get a chance to see and hear what real music is.
thnx guys! the next record (coming out after summer) will be less instrumental fingerstyle and a lot more rock-oriented singersongwriter-stuff. more vocals etc. but guitar is still the spine of everything :) first single should come out before summer. peace. -p
Bet this will be one of those tabs where the tune is printed on just 1 page and the performance notes take up about 20! LOl! Can't wait for this tab though! Should be great!
Petteri is just amazing! we are looking forward to see him live at the guitar fight club in june the 19th! Beside the show it ist even possible to take part on his workshop "how to drum your guitar" --- we will be there!
tää on iha ihmeellist ja mahtavaa, Fuckin' amazing! sä edustat näinki nuores iäs tälläsiä kitarajumaloita jo, mihin oot menos tästä eteenpäin, on vaa mielikuvituksen kysymys. jatka tota kaikkee hommaa, annat kokonaan uuden kuvan soitolle kitaristeille kaikille päin maailmaa.
Hey Petteri, How are you? I just love this tune. I keep coming back to watch you play it. Five stars! Please keep giving us your beautiful guitar music. God bless, - Robert
Yep. Buuuut point is the idea of understanding that limitations don't necessarily need to be taken serious. It can give great motivation. Having fun with boundaries and setting goals beyond them can give great results. I never ever thought I could play something like that. When one's goal is over something that is considered impossible etc., one can achieve something.. emm, really whacky and dope gimmicks!!
This is really, really neat. Its so... New. The Michael Hedges/Don Ross thing is great, and I thought it'd gotten to its limit, but this is just blew me out of the water. More percussively focused, and... its just so refresshing! And a nice guy too ^_^
That's nothing! I should upload here my "Stomp" from that same gig - then you'd know the true meaning of the "dead audience" -syndrome. In the end there's this guy right in front of the camera that sits/lies on the bench like he's without a spine and claps his hand in the end - about one clap per two seconds. He'd be the ultimate champion in the battle of who could care less. -p
i have watched this 15 times in a row i love it. Top 10 best guitar pieces i have heard in my life and i have heard plenty. is it in dadgad? and any chance you have a tab i could buy.
OH YEAH! This is just amazing! Sounds very nice, but you sing also very good, so could upload some of that stuff too? Ja muuten sun favorittejen ansiosta eksyin MC Taakibörstan videoihin, kiitos siitä! Tuli vanhat kunnon MoonTV ajat mieleen
Whoa man, you are really fantastic. Where did you learn to play like that? It seems almost like a cross between classical guitar and slap bass or something. Phenomenal stuff, keep it up!
Hi there! After almost 20 years, here it is... Prime TABs! Available @ www.petterisariola.fi/shop/prime
14 years already and I still listen to this. Such an amazing piece.
Thank you so much Lyle.
me too. I think petteri sariola’s prime is NO.1
For real, it was the best one in the "Guitars Suck 7" video
17 years now and I still come back to it
Brilliant. Saw this guy on TV this morning. Just dazzling technique.
楽曲とテクニックが完璧に融合した素晴らしいギター。アメイジング！
who is in that audience? Hearts of stone!!! This tune is trully mesmerizing and the performance was so tight!!
This guy is win. There's not much else to say, he's an amazing guitarist.
His show was greatly appreciated at Gedved skole, thanks a lot!

Very good performer + Amazing guitarist + Sick riffs and beats = Petteri Sariola
Dude you're incredible... I've been playing guitar since 95 and I've never seen someone with such a fresh and unique approach!
Bravo and keep it up man... you're a star in the making!
One of the best acoustic guitar videos on utube.Why does he not go far.His music is superb.
I've seen Marcin. But this guy is a genius for coming up with this 18 years ago. People will think you are alien if you play this today.
Woah! Amazing! I just love how some musicians manage to be a whole band just by themselves! 5 stars!

You, Jin san Kim and Marcin have truly changed my views on Guitar. You all are pushing the boundaries of Guitar playing. Love it 💖💖
That was awesome!
5 stars easily. That uptempo at the end is made of pure win.
Wow !! Impressive energy broadcasted by an ACOUSTIC guitar only. Groovy and fresh.
GUITAR SUIT UP (at my first glance I thought you were Neil Patrick Harris)
cant stop listening to this its amazing
omg i wish i ever will be able to play like this... practising every day!!!!
What a talent! Keep rocking..
Masterpiece Petteri! You're my guitar hero man! Greetings from Chile
Muchas gracias :)
very very impressive.
i will from the states to watch you live in a heartbeat
Aivan uskomatonta! Itse näin äsken ensimmäistä kertaa livenä "Koska meillä on koulu" konsertissa! Aivan uskomattoman taitava!
Man, that sounds like 3 or 4 people playing at once. Amazing skill, and a cool song too. I'm inspired:)
I never truly enjoyed music... UNTIL NOW.
Five stars. Amazing.
You are the Mark King of guitar! I've been trying to figure out how to mix slap bass with fingerstyle guitar for years and you just put it in my face! Nothing short of awesome. I guess I'll sell my guitar now!
Wow, that was stunning! I'm so proud that we have someone like you in Finland (I'm finnish)! Keep up the good work! :)
I just ordered your CD I think I will be pleasently surprised.
Petteri, you are a bona fide guitar god! Thanks for this and again for DBTL a few years ago! With utmost regards & respect, Peter.
hi i was in your concert in the kuopio you were great and i am from finland too.
cool guitar playing! wow!

That was insane! Respect to your great skills, unbelievable you are 23! Just.. WOW !
That's so awsome!
Jesus christ, Petteri. You're absurdly good... my lord.
I enjoy that technique. You've got it down completely!!
just sick ! Keep rocking dude !
Amazing! I'm definitely getting this album!
Thank you for blowing my mind
tää on iha ihmeellist ja mahtavaa, Fuckin' amazing! sä edustat näinki nuores iäs tälläsiä kitarajumaloita jo, mihin oot menos tästä eteenpäin, on vaa mielikuvituksen kysymys. jatka tota kaikkee hommaa, annat kokonaan uuden kuvan soitolle kitaristeille kaikille päin maailmaa.
when do you come to portugal? lol i would do anything to hear you in a live concert! simply amazin'!
Love it!
Slam on dude! awesome style and great song!

Oh my god! YOU ARE AMAZING!
Very inspiring ..
Hope to see more of you your'e good.
You rock yo.
I don't think they're pissed about the music. They may be upset about the aneurysm caused by an inability to comprehend the godliness of Petteri.
he had plaed at our school too :) he was amazing !
Joojoo! Hahahahaa, sama juttu :) Siitä irtos hyvät naurut taas pitkästä aikaa. Legendaarinen pätkä.
he also played at my school this day:) he is awsome;D
vedät ihan mielettömällä stylellä!! tosi hieno biisi!

I think Pete is in his own league really. Anyway, he's awesome. Well done!
This is really, really neat. Its so... New. The Michael Hedges/Don Ross thing is great, and I thought it'd gotten to its limit, but this is just blew me out of the water. More percussively focused, and... its just so refresshing! And a nice guy too ^_^
It's amazing how different you look with hair dude.
Damn.. this is DADGAD :O. Amazing.
Thanks for your comment! I'm a big fan of Hedges as well! ;)
-p
i can watch this guy for hours !!
wait , i just did ..
Still gold 😍😍😍
Can't believe the audience... I'd been standing and clapping from the beginning.
That's nothing! I should upload here my "Stomp" from that same gig - then you'd know the true meaning of the "dead audience" -syndrome.
In the end there's this guy right in front of the camera that sits/lies on the bench like he's without a spine and claps his hand in the end - about one clap per two seconds.

hi chemist! thnx, yea it's in dadgad. i'm writing the tabs little by little, been too busy with the next record.
-p
They are captivated.
Congratulations on 1000hit!!!
i have watched this 15 times in a row i love it. Top 10 best guitar pieces i have heard in my life and i have heard plenty. is it in dadgad? and any chance you have a tab i could buy.
@LeaderDMC I concur! How epic would that soundage be!!!
Is the audience complete stunned or are they just bored? I can't tell but this was really amazing :)
have no fear, "prime" notes and tabs might be available next year :)
-p
respect!!
And mine today! He is amazing, i couldn't agree more! :D
cool‼︎
OH YEAH! This is just amazing! Sounds very nice, but you sing also very good, so could upload some of that stuff too? Ja muuten sun favorittejen ansiosta eksyin MC Taakibörstan videoihin, kiitos siitä! Tuli vanhat kunnon MoonTV ajat mieleen
わーーーーーすごい…美しい、神だ
amazing !!!1!11
I don't know why but I just prefer this version way more than the one on your album. But anyways, great music. Keep on rocking dewd!
im on Sejs Skole too :D he is amazing, awsome, cool and funny! i have to find his cd somewhere!
henrysissä oltii kuuntelee. iha mieletöntä. pakko päästä uuvestaa
Yea, that's possible. I've done that at a gig, myself. It's really hard to pull that off.
Nähtiin tämä herrasmies eilen Rajattoman konsertissa, tyyppi kyllä varasti koko shown!
I think he's kicking ass the whole time, that's just his finishing move...
This is amazing
good!
🙏🙏🙏
Whoa man, you are really fantastic. Where did you learn to play like that? It seems almost like a cross between classical guitar and slap bass or something. Phenomenal stuff, keep it up!
you are all kinds of awesome. i round a new guitar hero
Fucking love it, better percussions from his guitar then many drum tracks ive heard. All that while playing some sick guitar.
brilliant song and performance! i will most certaintly be buying your CD!
if you dont mind me asking, what tuning is this played in? Thanks
This is probably my favourite guitar video on TH-cam. I liked the old name, "Prime Time", better though!
He bis very good
