This is just beautiful. This might be my new go to video when people say "Oh, that modern fingerstyle guitar it's just technique with no melody". The ending is so sad. :( R U OK ANTOINE? WHO HURT YOU? :'(

[@cervandoslungs5476]

Jon Gomm here in the south of Chile there's a lot of rain going almost everyday and sometimes, I like to put your music and antoine's to feel overwhelmed in emotions while looking the rain with my window open. Maybe would like to know that you guys are being listened in some isolated corner of the earth... greetings and a huge hug. 💚

[@bombadybom]

Jon Gomm oh hey Jon Gomm

[@camilianSLC]

lol ok john

[@jeremythomas4660]

You and Antoine are my solo acoustic go to's. Thanks for existing

[@akis857]

Look who's talking. Jon Gomm my man, Passionflower is a masterpiece in itself.

[@PianoCat-Music]

It has been 10 years ago I saw his videos.. he is still my most favorite guitarist on this channel!

[@joebleibaum]

Same here.

[@spikes6636]

I prefer Andy McKee x)

[@Rael0505]

Antoine Dufour is my all time favorite guitarist. He is so innovative. Loved his Convergences album especially, but all of his music has that Antoine Dufour magic. This is another great song.

[@douglasfeliphe2104]

indeed

[@jurv10]

Antoine can really just take you away from reality with his music. This is beyond beautiful.

[@AlexandrBorschchev]

There's something about your music that is so pure and magical, very refreshing and calming to see amidst the noise of this world.

[@evan3744]

I latched onto this insanely quick. Haven't felt this much emotion from a guitar tune in years. Thank you, Antoine

[@willowdonato2308]

The song sounds deep and dark and yet it is beautiful

[@barinate]

When I met Antoine at a concert I told him this was my favorite piece on his new album (and really of all time) and we chatted a bit about how the piece came about. So happy this video is now available to view how he does it. I'm a composer myself and he's given me a new perspective on how to craft such incredible music. Such an amazing experience to see him live and meet him! Keep it up Antoine!

[@LeDechaine]

Well, this is what drowning in excellent music feels like. :)

[@_fellipepires]

Funny... Listening to 'Drowning' I feel like if I really was drowning, but not thinking about the real sensation. It is like if I was going to a better place. Drowning for a reason and totally conscious of what is going to happen before... It is part of my beliefs I know, but I'm not here to debate. It is just the feeling. Thanx Antoine

[@Babeman12]

Goosebumps... amazing piece

[@flourescentinflux]

blows my mind everytime. his compositons are so deep and immersive. love you antoine

[@kurtisgirdwood6262]

Always has been, and always will be my favourite musician. Never ceases to amaze.

[@autumntietz2884]

I'm listening to this from hope Arkansas. There's a small group of us here that drool over this mad skill my dude. We've been listening to Antoine for a couple of years now. Nomatter how down I get,his music is my go to 😍

[@DustinFurlow]

God this is incredible. Amazing audio quality. Never thought the sound of one's forearm dampening the resonance of the top could be put to use like this. Leave it to Dufour :)

[@stratorarious]

Another incredibly touching piece of gold from A.D. ...

[@zhaa82]

Virtuoso. Brilliant.

[@mohamedmostafa_guitar]

one of my favorite guitarists of all the time

[@Knight-brolaire]

never get tired of his playing

[@user-gc6we4co4f]

Masterpiece!

[@millwright0matt]

Beautiful!

[@flourescentinflux]

Wow just simply amazing, what a deep and moving tune

[@rebeccaflorell9906]

Steller...absolutely amazing, and beautiful......thank you for sharing!🎶

[@wigleboy]

So classy, love it

[@percykirby2]

Phenomenal!!!! Tré Magnifique

[@georgegribkov8343]

This is so emotional! I can't just hear this song, i watch it. I see how i am going to the bottom, i see how the surface of the water above my head is moving away I see rays of the sun, blurred I feel the bouts of cold horror And the bubbles Pacification Acceptance. And this colourful feelings are all mixed up The deeper i drown, the slower i fall And when I begin to lose consciousness due to oxygen starvation 03:56 happens. I got goosebumps once again One of my favorite songs ever...

[@xzysyndrome]

Sitting here with my 7 year old loving this...what fantastic harmonics.

[@austinpeake1331]

I really hope this blows up for you. Don't let the dislikes discourage you!

[@JacobRaagaard]

Sounds amazing!! Love the invisible tremolo bar trick.

[@AdamWoodhams]

Thank you. Bonus points for not being perched atop a windswept mossy rock.

[@namba_one]

Фантастика!!! Really makes me filling. That is so rarely happens in modern post-Soviet depression. Just thank you. Спасибо за хорошее настроение и удачи в творчестве!

[@tymtrppr3]

My brain doesn't comprehend your amazingness. That ending is insane. Seems like an awesome fingerstyle drill to play every day.

[@Jepousseuncri]

Antoine is Really a Top Guitar Player ! We Love Musicians Because they make the Planet a Better Place ! What's Your opinion ? God Bless You !

[@LearnAllLanguages]

I agree ! I Love Your Music videos on KZbin ! How many of them It Looks over 100 ! Congrats !

[@LearnAllLanguages]

Why Drowning by the way ?

[@HurryKenProduction]

Antoine is Great ! I Love Yannick lebossé Too !

[@youreasyreach]

Great Guitar !

[@ouvretabouche]

Antoine is Great !

[@rajeshjin8950]

Two dislikes? Really?? Really people?? Are you that jelly you can't even appreciate art without getting jelly?? Seriously.. Antoine, you sir are brilliant!!

[@OhTheAgonyBand]

Such an under rated guitarist! Another beautiful composition!

[@CelebrityCyborg]

That is one of the finest Artistic expressions I've ever heard. Near tears, my God whispered to me a "Salvation" Kerrya' 💛💜💙👣🎄🏁

[@nvrumi]

I really like this one! Thank you for sharing!

[@lfsanity9564]

Holy shit! I've waited for this since the day new album released. Love the things you do, Antoine!

[@saminmomin3220]

It just takes me to the other world. This is just amazingly played. Loved it truly. Too deep.😍🔥🔥

[@gouisedeau]

La mélodie est superbe ! Super antoine ! et la qualité de l'enregistrement... wow.. et la guitare aussi ! Wish I had the same..

[@MichaelKobrin]

So emotional! Loved it!

[@green_building]

Beautiful sounding guitar 😎👍✨

[@EdenKaiOfficial]

Beautiful. Loving your new album sir!

[@NathanSMadsen]

Stunning work! Wonderfully recorded and performed!

[@dudindmitri]

Music The Love

[@sebastianpaterman3173]

Exelent

[@ChrisWilliams-ol9vt]

Love the cascading harmonics

[@matthewpratt3447]

Really getting Coldplay vibes off of this 🤙

[@RonanKearney1]

WOW

[@home-is-where-your-tent-is]

Try listening to this at 0.75 playback speed. The tempo decrease but the feels increases.

[@davidthebiker2955]

Wow

[@barbomusic]

Beautiful, as usual !

[@angelofdeath1290]

Noooooooo.... You gotta loooong way to go guy.

[@angelofdeath1290]

Check out ewan dobson

[@lukegray6331]

Wonderful song! I prefer the performance and EQ of the version on the record, but I feel the passion and depth of emotion in both.

[@amplifysenpai3175]

damn antoine who has accosted you to create such deep emotions, mm things like this, it is the reason i play guitar

[@TheCelticWayy]

Those harmonics are incredible. I actually have both this and "Air Ground" down pretty well, but I can't pull of those harmonics. Not only do you have to be extremely accurate, but my ring finger nail on my right hand is weaker than the rest for some reason and it always breaks when I attempt the harmonics. I've tried acrylic nails and the like before, but they just didn't feel right for me. I felt that they hindered my playing.

[@BrianLittle2]

Stop it! I can't take this much winning!

[@redhatcore]

17 dislikes means 17 people think he hit a wrong note at 2:08

[@EyeBaal]

What a fucking legend!!!

[@Yngsatchvai]

damn put me in a trance. NICE

[@fergiewrestler9252]

beautiful playing! reminds me of Sting in a way.

[@thecaptainplus]

In what way?

[@evamello7983]

🎼💋❤

[@nikolaou20]

Its an amazing song and i feel that it could easily be a song written for coldplay

[@revision4life]

That ending

[@Hojupa]

that is some nice guitar skills, but can you play wonderwall?

[@jenniferreid8515]

of course he can play wonderwall.

[@ik04]

This song immediately made me very sad. I miss Michael Hedges more than I knew...

[@Dmitry___S.]

I can hear that with more Ambient preset.

[@thaeros]

quel jeux d'harmoniques/ what an harmonics play... je ne suis pas un grand fan de la guitare je préfère d'autres instruments/ i'm not a big guitar fan i prefer others instruments... mais avouons le ce jeux d' harmoniques est " astrale"/ but lets said it that harmonics play is "astral" !

[@nitroxsam66]

Nice piece. If you like harmonics check out Lenny Breau, Ted Greene (both are no longer with us sadly), and Tim Lerch.

[@GeorgeNashMusic]

Never seen using arm hair to make a rubbing sound before but oh well, new technique!! Loved the emotion in this :)

[@TheWizardboy5]

He's dampening the vibrations of the guitar with his arm

[@GeorgeNashMusic]

CuckerSpaniel'89 oh now I hear it :). I guess my phone's speaker wasn't good enough to hear it haha

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Who else aggregates great guitarists other than Candyrat? No one that I know of...

[@santiagoalexq.4667]

Porfavor toquen thug life

[@KidrauhlsChat]

what kind of guitar is that?

[@screenname764]

I believe it's the Antoine Dufour signature guitar created by Beauregard, basically custom built for him.

[@JakeMcGuiremusic]

Who is this Antoine guy? His style reminds me of my own. I wonder why......... Keep it up bro! Great to see you play this one finally.

[@erik_hartley]

I see you, inlay.

[@juanmanuelgoni9120]

What the hell is that echoe thing he does with his right hand?

[@Ultras743]

what are you doing with your right hand at 0:08

[@felipesalazar2686]

Your Tube jejej ,men he is making the guitar move from the mic thats for the delayed sound Wah Wah Wah , i hope this may you got it! Cheers, :')

[@eebzmusic]

When you lay your forearm across the lower bout it resonates differently and when I do this on my Taylor it seems to amplify the sound. So you hear the ‘wah’ effect.

[@alfonshomac]

He is doing a "neck bend". He applies a torque on the neck such that the strings become slightly looser achieving that half-step drop in tone. You can search "neck bend guitar" here on youtube and tutorials will appear.

[@camhowelse5797]

oh my god so into this guy

[@rakhmonabduraimov5154]

Не точный ритм и пульс. Непонятно как то или мне так кажется? Или сама музыка такая?

[@rakhmonabduraimov5154]

Антон Агафонов Да, видно очень свободно играет) в точь ad libitum

[@Cptidris]

Spoiler alert . Very depressing ending. Oh Gosh

[@benmarsh1248]

im sorry man but you use to do it better bro the bass notes are not as pronounced an the ones that were felt to "stabie" an whole thing was to shimmery i think you could re do this with a bit more vigor an life i know its called drowning for a reason but i feel you are better than this sorry Antoine, still a big fan you are a legend.

[@clemfandango274]

ben marsh who are you to try and correct something that he obviously spent alot of time making just how he wanted, think, if he can both create and play something like 'these moments' and '30 minutes in london' why do you think something like this isn't played at his best? I mean this is easy for him to play, he wanted it to sound exactly like that, how can you think you are a better judge of his music than he is?

[@rp-lopez]

yeah f u

[@boohalix5837]

first dislike thats mine lol
