[@mp_guitarist]

Thank you!

[@user-lh3iw7tg7q]

Matthew is like a Zen Master, trace-like in his concentration. Wow squared.

[@mp_guitarist]

Aha, cheers

[@rayhill1855]

We need to bow down Matthew is a god. Thanks Matt

[@mp_guitarist]

Ahaha Your Welcome !

[@nialloconnor9686]

Less is definitely more with this one. It's just so good on its own. Outstanding performance

[@mp_guitarist]

Thank you very much!

[@Chocolatesonnet]

Marvelous rendition. Superb playing!

[@billdai1]

I have loved this song since High School.

[@mp_guitarist]

Me too!

[@timothyroberts8347]

Sir we are telling our age .. lol

[@deborahparham3783]

More like junior high school for this very old broad.

[@captainscarlett1]

I enjoyed this clean version without the pizaz. The basic tune is great by itself.

[@mp_guitarist]

Absolutely!!

[@janisristow9239]

It's better standing alone. It doesn't need any help.

[@BansheeMilk]

Agreed

[@patcampbell9766]

Nicely done my favorite guitar piece.

[@timothyroberts8347]

Mason would approve . great job

[@maidaursuladawn44glasgow3]

A great rendition of this beautiful piece

[@mp_guitarist]

Thank you :)

[@thegolfnut812]

Excellent

[@woodstoney]

Nicely played. A very close copy of Mason William's original. He would be proud!

[@mchurch3905]

Mason Williams A minor masterpiece…

[@jimclarke1108]

Mason would be amazed

[@JonJaffa]

This is definitely the best version. I've never understood why the brass section was in this, sounding like a football special theme tune. It grated badly.

[@phil8376]

Nice😊 i like all different versions myself. I remember when this came out. I roked in the grade school auditorium 😅

[@jim5746]

Right on the money. !!!

[@bluetone11]

Bravo Matthew ! Great rendition.💠

[@jaxgator24]

Impeccable!

[@ninamoores]

Best version ever.Beautiful.

Beautiful ❤

[@abeljimenez4161]

Great performance.

[@wmrustycox]

Phenomenal rendition

[@WERC-lawyer]

There is a clean version on TH-cam marked as "by Clapton" but is actually Mason Williams ... & a fine rendition of the Tommie Emmanual arrangement by the incomparable Gabriella Quevedo ... enjoy!

Music feeds the soul 🙏🙏🙏🎚🎚🎚🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mp_guitarist]

Definetly

[@user-ij5lc1kw8r]

Very enjoyable.

[@geneszmanski]

a version not drowned out by the background.

[@tom.brady7]

One thing I know for sure you won't EVER get is a dislike on this one. That was so, so great.

[@notbraindead7298]

That was truly awesome!! An extremely difficult piece performed to perfection!!!

[@mikebreeden6071]

That's what I was wondering. As a non-musician I can't judge the difficulty, but I am sure it sounds beautiful

[@notbraindead7298]

@@mikebreeden6071 There are few guitarists in the world that can play this song note for note like the original.

[@cynthiafrost1130]

Amazing work! Filled up my senses with pure joy.

[@cribrebo7375]

Very enjoyable and very talented..👏

[@Malar88]

I discovered this song thank to Tommy Emmanuel. I lov Tommy's version and the original one....grate performance!

[@mp_guitarist]

Thanks!, Yes Tommy Emmanuels version is incredible.

[@orangeapples3]

Awesome!

[@YodaBannon]

Very good job! You really have that Mason Williams vibe! 😊

[@mp_guitarist]

Thank you!

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Very Nice!

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

OMG!!! Extremely well done. The best rendition ever. Thank you for posting.

[@JamieCarter-wv8rp]

You obviously haven't heard Tommy Emanuel do this. Absolute best ever!!!

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

It wouldn’t be fair to compare anyone to Tommy.

[@JamieCarter-wv8rp]

@alikakalanihuia8891 I was going by, and I quote " best rendition ever." But, as you clarified, as amature alevel, he did pretty good. And, true, unfair to compare to Tommy E. I have NEVER seen ANYONE play the strings above the nut...and make it work. Until I saw Tommy E do it.

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

@@JamieCarter-wv8rp Understood and agree.

[@ricaendios9789]

Very enjoyable! :D

[@user-ij5lc1kw8r]

Good performance.

[@marcfleischmann9911]

I think that I saw this first performed by Mason Williams on The Smothers Brother show
Am I right?

[@user-lh3iw7tg7q]

Yes. Mason was also one of the Brother's comedy writers.

[@stevealbert7507]

Wow

[@mikeherbert470]

Awesome my bro ..Tino Ataahua 🙏🏽♥️ New Zealand..

[@SanderDavidNorris]

crushed it my guy

[@DanJanyja-vl9qz]

Not exactly - he didn't play the double hammer on on the C note of Am chord the way Mason Williams composed it.

[@SanderDavidNorris]

[@dDoOyYoOuUtTuUbBeE]

Too bad for the squeak at the end...

[@JoeJoe-it9xd]

Be better

[@mchurch3905]

This IS the best version, without the orchestra, Tommy Emanuel version, electronic BS and whatever. 😊

[@mp_guitarist]

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy more videos I'm going to make

[@prbprb2]

Very beautiful, but I think it sounds a little too somber, to be honest. Lighten up a little...
