What a beautiful.... performance!

[@huskie4ever17]

12 hours later I am returning after googling Mr. Sumide to learn he is a world acclaimed guitarist...I can see why. Amazing talent...ordering several CD's TODAY!Very happy I found him.

[@EmilyEffingGrace80]

I have to go lay down for a little bit...Just got totally blown away..!!..Bravo!!!!

Incredible technical virtuosity and feel.

[@lukeang5615]

I keep coming back to this, this is a very nostalgic song for me and you have a special touch when it comes to the guitar

[@lydialilli4351]

i wish this was available on Spotify. Absolutely brilliant and I'm sure Donald Fagen would approve!

[@derekdd5229]

Wonderful arrangement and playing. Thanks!

[@justinquaylepate1358]

Not sure what I can add that others haven't already said, but I'm awestruck. Just a brilliant rendition of one of my all-time favorite songs...didn't think a solo acoustic guitar version could be this good! Thank you!

IGY FOREVER MAGNIFICO

[@DaveBluesManFaulkner]

Great arrangement - (I might try and use some of these ideas for a guitar/vocal arrangement ;) ) . Nightfly is a great album - I do an acoustic version of Maxine which is one of the most complex tunes I have ever worked out. Top job !

[@wendellamonricks]

Beautiful indeed. 🎸🎸🎸 Great performance.

[@huskie4ever17]

IGY is one of my all time favorite songs...this gentleman does an amazing job with it...watched it several times already...so many thanks for posting this...your talent...wow...wish I could do what you do!

Note for musicians: Tuning actually a half step down... not standard. beside that I'm totally amazed by the performance.

[@oriarl]

Beautiful!!

[@thomasvanderspank2902]

Wowweee, man this is absolutely fantastic, I think the best acoustic cover version of any song ever IMHO !!! And I've seen quite a lot, from Tommy Emmanual to Andy McKee who are also fantastic players.Boy I really wish I could play guitar like that.

[@titomedina5162]

Fantastic i wish i could do that

[@patsmith6747]

fantastic. you captured every nuance

[@supadigga]

This is a great rendition of this classic song and I love it! Good work my brother ✌️

[@coffeepony756]

Wow that's so Perfect song you that's play.

[@yoshiyung8249]

God, your left hand!!!! SO SMOOOOOOOFFFF

[@TimMeyerMusic]

Well....I cover SD songs myself solo guitar and vocal....usually enjoy performance that includes the singing of those engaging lyrics. Clearly you let your guitar do the singing here. Lovely expressive playing.

[@davidd9976]

Wow!! Fantastic!!

[@Vonslik69]

I.G.Y. is a very complexed composition by default....even more by one man playing ALL the parts via acoustic guitar......INCREDIBLE ARTISTRY! 👍🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏻

[@stilllife4u]

Very Good

[@JohanFransen]

[@yasuyukis9303]

That’s great

[@mogela2875]

IGY's guitar playing is rare　It ’s a nice performance.

[@dlsmpsn]

IGY is not his name. It is part of the title of the song. Look it up. It is rather strange, but not surprising coming from Donald Fagan. Nice playing by the way.

[@MidipowerStudio]

bel groove e belle armonizzazioni

[@areaofmuscle]

Super

[@yoshiyung8249]

great performance of a great song / terrific - alot of work on acoustic!

[@mok1138]

My gosh - I never expected this! Do you have your chords/score for us, please?

[@jddelori]

Unreal

[@moshezarviv1252]

I'll just add a WOW !!! to the already existing ones on the comments.... what else to say....

[@YasminBaltz]

Plsssss make a tutorial! Or do you have the sheets?

[@sergioferreira3818]

Formidável

[@patgibsonguitar5000]

cool song. what's cooler is playing this on a sweet steel-string acoustic on the WHOLE guitar, not just over yonder, by the nut. Nice cover, and some very nice picking. you can't pull this off without a sweet guitar. what is it? I find my D18P(martin) is nicer the higher you go up the neck into higher positions. what ya got thare?

[@samsukut3714]

Moving

[@DrColg8]

How can this get one downvote let alone two? The only person qualified to discredit this is the player himself, for perhaps thinking he may not have supernailedit. Which he did. Goes to show...idiots live amongst us! Proceed with caution!!!

[@coachjoefulce3462]

may i use this for a special needs event video edit? This can't sound any better! Love IT
