As a self-taught, longtime Veteran and practitioner of the art, I can confidently and boldly assure you that I have no fucking clue how he's doing it, but it's beautiful man.

[@davidcrowder6975]

Edgar Nieves is that not two guitars playing 🤷‍♂️

[@marquisewilliamson9670]

Edgar Nieves seriously tho🤦🏾‍♂️

[@KungZB]

david crowder no it’s one guitar....

[@smoorej]

Excellent, but if this amazes you, you owe it to yourself to check out Tommy Emmanuel

[@jorgesalic500]

The problem is that your self taught. You have control of both bass and melody. Not hard.

[@13riecheese42]

This is one of my favorite songs, it brings back memories of high school after moving to the city. I was so shy and scared of people but the guitar class I took helped me so much. I played this song in front of my class which was the first time I was able to overcome my fears, I cried afterwards because of how supportive my whole class had been (I couldn't sing the lyrics - which we were suppose to do while playing - but the whole class (teacher included) started singing it as I played). It's literally one of my most favorite memories.... I guess you could say they stood by me XD

[@CamelMilkMusic]

Great that is

When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we see No I won't be afraid No I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh, now, now, stand by me Stand by me, stand by me If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh, stand by me Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh, now, now, stand by me Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me Darling, darling stand by me Stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

[@andrewchang6833]

Awesome. That picking-hand tap to get the high note in the pre-chorus while maintaining the bassline is a stroke of genius.

[@Lanvy]

I always hear my mom sing this xD It's a really catchy song tho! :D

[@user-yb6ih8tj3r]

my dad often plays this in his car, feels nostalgic :)

I have a fondness for this song. I would sing this one a lot as a child, on karaoke. This brought me to good times and also, the delivery and sound was just so cool. Happy to have heard this. 🙂

[@dannymeyer3256]

Reminds me of my late brother in law playing this for his brother my late husband they were orphans and stood by each other very emotional lyrics.

Great song and an awesome arrangement! So cool how you managed to keep the base line while also playing the melody!

[@gregallen1]

OrangeBking actually not hard if you’re atleast an intermediate player. To a non musician it looks like you’d have to be a Picasso of guitar playing 😆

[@rosalindahughes6914]
