[@wolfpunkbot]

10 years later and I still come back to this masterpiece.

[@toddallen7862]

Good songwriting always wins

[@motoronna]

I've seen a lot of stuff at this festival - this is one of my absolute favourites.

[@adriandominguezsainz3683]

can hear him all day long.. absolutely wonderful. DESERVES to be heard by all the world.. but i'm not sure all the world deserves to hear him.

[@davejones6812]

For me, this is one of those very rare pieces of music that puts a lump in your throat and makes your eyes well up because you can't believe your hearing something so incredibly beautiful. I've listened to it six times in a row and it gets better every time. Thank you for posting this... It's fantastic.

[@cdfabre69]

Ditto Brother!!

[@davesny302]

What in the world?!? I was expecting some kind of fast paced with a lot more hand movement but this is even better. One of the best songs I have ever heard.

[@Hamppzah]

love the 5/4

[@johnsmith-zi3xj]

Have you ever heard something so beautiful that your eyes start to well up and your throat starts to tighten with a lump? That just happened to me. What a wonderful piece of music. Thank you for that.

[@wuchuanjihe1961]

So fine instrument musics that I have often listened them when working at night. Thank you.

[@RK-nw4pg]

I am Favorite boy guitar living in Japan! Your play is beyond bordes, surprise a lot of people!

[@kraeuterguru]

Supreme! this song in 5/4 grooves as round as Waltz. Never heard this kind of 5/4 before.

[@scotmarq]

This guy is absolutely amazing!!!

[@stephen25uk]

Wow, stumbled across this tonight and was just blown away. It has a haunting quality that keeps you coming back for more, and more ...

[@FenlonAcoustic]

This song has inspired me so much. I can't even begin to explain it.

[@Rinocalandra]

It's not 'about the microphone! These are the hands and the heart of this guy playing so well ...

[@christopherweaver5904]

Man I would love to get my hands on this guitar tab. This is so beautiful

[@rye13103]

soo beautiful

[@700kotchi]

Brought me to tears..I've played for 45 years...reminds me of Alex De Grassi.

[@christopherweaver5904]

He doesn’t over do the harmonics and finds a good hook. I don’t know if anyone agrees but that’s what I love in a beautiful guitar sound

[@kprincipe87]

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard in my life, Im on my way to work listening this song and is like my mind goes to another place. Great talent

[@dylanryche]

kprincipe87 Wow, that's some high praise. Thanks for commenting.

[@motoronna]

He's playing August 4th at the Central on Markham Street, along with Dallas Sutherland and Donovan Raitt (right after the guitar festival, although I don't think he's playing there).

[@mitchgun334]

Thanks for info, motoronna. I checked the festival's schedule and unfortunately I'm off to Big Chief on lake Couchiching that weekend. :)

[@PiettroRocha]

OMGGGG THIS GUY IS REALLY GOOD!!! DAMMM I SUBSCRIBED'M

[@guilhermeribeirodeoliveira8470]

melhor solo de violão do mundo

[@motoronna]

I was a bit unfair to the guy who was complaining about not seeing the song title in the video title. I didn't realize until today that when you watch these vids on a smartphone, you don't automatically see the description (I always put a fair deal of effort into making sure the descriptions are complete and accurate). Ooops. I always watch KZbins on a laptop, where you'd have to be a moron to not notice the description.

[@camilocienfuegos3651]

buenisimo

[@ejcm1063]

good song

[@motoronna]

Can you read? It's in the first line of the description. Jeesh.

[@jesvinvarkey4991]

1,2,3,TAP,5

[@peeweesherman]

He plays like Sergio Altamura AKA the man. Bodily language as well.

[@anderstonningriise]

Agreed!

[@motoronna]

Yup! He was pretty much completely unknown at that point.

[@bildatheventure]

tabs plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz

[@AlexStoneace]

This man made me come lol.

[@andrewfrancis7739]

Alex Stoneace lmao

[@drivabletoaster417]

That thunder at 0:50 was perfffffffffffff

[@andrewfrancis7739]

Good ear

[@jagdogs]

3:11 - He's somewhere else

[@MrGuitar5203]

Calum already won in 2010 he didn't participate here again, but at the time of this festival he was preforming at the 2012 summer Olympics in London if that make you feel better? ;)

[@RECOGNI7E]

Why have I heard this song before...RIPOFF!!!

[@danbentertainment3619]

Deep melody

[@lzman12]

Great ass song

[@UNDOSTREIS]

To my knowledge, he currently lives in Toronto, Canada. That makes him a Canadian citizen. Am I right? Yes I know hes ORIGINALLY from Australia.

[@700kotchi]

Whatever it is it's very good :) We try........

[@QueenToKingOfSpades]

Must be something in the water in Canada.

[@GeordieKama-o8g]

Bell Plaza

[@motoronna]

It looks like a Rode K2, but I don't know for sure.

[@anthonyramsey89]

when will you have this one tabbed for purchase?

[@halkarm4563]

what's his taylor model, please tell???

[@thisistheonlywayd]

or Australia

[@starwarsmaniac09]

What hapened to Calum this year?

[@HungVu-ec3jk]

did he just use his pinky to pick?

[@MrGuitar5203]

:D

[@13mdark]

is he the one who placed 2nd in the 2010 CGF?

[@Quipstiley]

Is that Dylan Ryche?

[@mamamia5668]

Yes

[@K1LL14N]

what mic are they using to record al these performances?

[@theonewhoisfluff745]

He kinda looks like Gareth Evans 🤔

[@jerryheffernan3592]

hes not canadian hes from australia

[@smurfalto1]

C'mon! Did you listen to the other competitors? I almost felt asleep just by hearing at this guy. The music doesn't change a bit all the way through.

[@josuadevries]

this composition is incredible, masterful even :)

[@JFLL]

I don't know, sharpen your ear maybe?

[@grandbib]

agree with you mate: I waited to the end hoping the tune begins... but nothing

[@invis19]

This is by far the most sophisticated songwriting, dynamics, harmonies. Easy choice for winner :)

[@ItssDucky]

Great tune, i love it! It's kind of repetitive though.

[@VentureTact]

Nice try, but he's actually Australian. He moved to Canada a few years ago. That's not long enough for our horse steroid infused water to take effect.

[@digital_nobody]

that claw is disturbing

[@thisistheonlywayd]

or Australia
