[@adamrafferty]

Love it Walter. You are influencing me in the best possible way.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Hey Adam! Thanks so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@JigsHidalgoMusic]

two of my guitar idols enjoying each's own music!

[@murrymurf]

Walter Rodrigues Jr Great cover, say what is that guitar you're playing??

[@andreasmenicou233]

[@walterfingerstyle]

Not only there, but Adam did also better from 0:00 - :01:51 :-)

[@tracky0077]

[@trashdaddysupreme]

Tracky 007 my man knows he has the sauce

[@TouYubeKids]

Jajajajajaja

[@AdiyatCoto]

I know what you feel lol

[@darkstars101]

It’s the same face you see on the guy cutting up dead bodies in his basement

[@vermine18]

1:24 can all musicians who understand how difficult this is appreciate this type of chord use?? that was insane!!! Beautifully played with a wonderful tone as well!

[@okuhleminyi8143]

I think it's the most beautiful and clear example of amazing voice leading and why it's so important

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

If you like this version...CHECK OUT THE KENT NISHIMURA VERSION!!! You're welcome!!! SIR DUKE FOR THE WIN!!! 💣💥💯

[@sunhochoi2543]

Omg I forgot to breathe here

[@IamHappy269]

I believe that it is one of the hardest parts of these compositions!

[@dadwhitsett]

He has a genetically modified 5th digit😅😅

[@zubinb3]

Walter...your chord substitutions are absolutely stunning. I’m a pianist who loves to transcribe your performances. Every time I hear you play I’m just gobsmacked..

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@3milk207]

Strangely enough I’ve watched this at least once a month for like 8 months and it’s always recommended to me again and again.. Keep it up KZbin

[@TheFifthLight]

I love your expressions while you play, gives a whole new element to the composition

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thanks so much for checking it out, Alex!

[@ZachZiggie]

id be smiling too if i played that clean

[@absolut645]

[@nihat75014]

I love how he just enjoys playing it

[@cannonballgain9964]

Very elegant codework and baseline. Solo work that does not disrupt the rhythm. It's wonderful.

[@jxy_vbn8156]

This is without a doubt the most beautiful rendition of isn’t she lovely I’ve ever heard. Those chords, the harmonization, not a single missed note and every single one so full of expression. Absolutely unmatched. Phenomenal.

[@slambodianjones]

Sir it is people like you that keep me playing guitar on the daily. Much love.

[@nickrogers8588]

Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Pure, precise, tasteful. Gorgeous. Wow.

[@trueshura6722]

Every single chord he used looked unrecognizable and difficult lol

[@Murhulaem]

😂😂😂I thought I was alone. But it is very possible to play like Him.. He is a great influence

[@maxnovinger3113]

They r a lot of inversions and just weird shapes u can def play them they just hard to visualize

[@I.FloreaSAX]

BIG BIG BIG BIG LIKE , greetings from Romania !

[@tamahome5369]

Even a years i didn't watch your vids still; still your music hasn't change. How lovely.

[@taylorsmith8095]

Dude. I felt that in my soul. God bless you and your gift each and every day.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thanks so much!

[@YourSaddestDeer]

i love how you feel the music instead of just performing much appreciated

[@nigelbullock4411]

Just love this style of playing, just class in my book. Both you and Adam are influencing me, so much playing so little time, its a life times work.

[@lululito124]

I love your arrangements! Just when you think it can't possibly get any more complicated and beautiful, it does! And then it happens AGAIN!!

[@davidhayes7596]

Isn’t that just Lovely. Capturing the musical language and message of that song. Brilliant!

[@수생이-f6b]

the world best isn't she lovely guitar cover...seriously

[@jameswellington4795]

Adam Rafferty's is nicer for me!

[@tristanpettigrew]

송영우 sungha jung

[@kalfch1]

[@rainulan7809]

보개미 have you ever listened to sungha jung?

[@nigelmakuchete6109]

listen to Tom Misch's

[@brunomarswalangganon4229]

You're the only guy who doesn't use sliding too much that I love. Keep it up, brother!

[@simphonysounds4570]

Buenisimas esas cuartas paralelas al final del tema. realmente es un lujo escuchar tus arreglos. Gracias por compartirlos.

[@lelobster8935]

I love it when KZbin keeps recommending me this video, I watch it every time.

[@thanamaimas]

Before you can play with joy, it takes years of hardship in learning and practice. Truly appreciated, Walter!!

[@stashedup7415]

1:25 to 1:35 is like riding on a roller coaster but instead of that "adrenaline rush" its like swimming on a pool of honey... Its makes no sense but it was the best way to describe what i felt....... 😂

[@SophisticatedBanjo]

Heck yeah, that's exactly it.

[@Josue50559]

How are called those chords?

[@aisaiahcosey5130]

That was an excellent way to describe it. He's changing chords a lot but keeping the same note through these changes, so you get this constant smoothness over and throughout the roller coaster 👍🏾👍🏾😀😀

[@shabazeldagon9488]

Ok

[@judahyumul7562]

Reharm with descending bass notes while retaining lead. Like Jacob Collier said, you can play bass note as long as you keep that melody to justify.

[@joeymeyer4797]

smooth as butter, wow

[@Rhodes-im3uz]

My favorite thing about his performance is chord work. He is especially good at playing with chords that match the melody.

[@NickGranville]

Very nicely done. Enjoyed it a lot

[@martymcfly1833]

I’ve had this song saved on my playlist for 3 years now. It never gets old

[@j.staley7425]

This was a treat to hear you play! Thank you for posting this great video!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful

[@kidjecl]

I have a problem... I don't know how many times I have seen this video over and over. ¡Fantastic!

[@wuimingleebarroga8629]

same me too!!!..

[@putrawibi]

Yeah

[@danielnelms5127]

The 3:2 polyrhythm when you where just grooving was such a pleasure to listen too. Such a good arrangement

[@idkitsnottheserious]

This arrangement is special.

[@marcoafro8234]

You know he really into it by the look of his expression. Good job sir!

[@johnlind5819]

Wow Walter, I love this arrangement. I used to play the Pete Huttlinger arrangement which I learned directly from Pete (one of the nicest men I have ever known) but I haven't played this song in a long time. I love the jazz chord substitutions you use after first using the basic chords and walking bass. Now I have to hope you put out a lesson on this one (which I will happily pay for) but I am still hoping for Autumn Leaves and Blue in Green. Count me in for any video lessons your offer on your site. All my best, John

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thank you, John! Always great to hear from you. I really appreciate your musical support! all best / walter

[@Grapho137]

definitely hoping for a lesson/tutorial on this one as well

[@adamrafferty]

John Lind this version is great, huh John? 😀

[@johnlind5819]

Of course the really fantastic Stevie Wonder arrangements are from Adam Rafferty. I love his stuff AND I am a charter member of StudywithAdam.com. Have you heard his version? Ha! Love you Adam!

[@senorbinz]

Autumn Leaves with video tab is here : www.montalat.fr/videos/

[@Moyita]

- How many chords can you play? - Yes

[@dalangin13]

Kind of questions Phoebe would ask 😂

[@djcoolcliff]

Love that nylon string sound!!! Excellent good with the major substitutions after the key change!!!! Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chipispowdercoatingcharles8444]

You are a moster master of guitar orchestration. Man i dont know if i should look onto your work or pretend i never saw this

[@cree8k]

You make more music with that one instrument than anyone I can remember and I've been around awhile Walter! I didn't think you would be able to pull it off, but I was so wrong. It's a beautiful thing!

[@addadd55]

Amazing how you grab those chords so fast and accurate.....well done !!!

[@johnnyhall6245]

Love this man! Besides being very technically awesome... I really felt the passion. You've earned yourself a subscriber. Hope to be as good as you someday.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Johnny Hall Thank you, Johnny!

[@SuperKokiemonster]

I am just new, but ... I could listen to you play all day (and night) too. Thank you for your beautiful music.

[@skitzthegemini]

That harmonic slap, the modulation...loved every second.

[@losacuna]

Walter sos un genio! Fantastico los acordes que haces y la interpretacion ! Es un placer escucharte y verte tocar con tanto profesinalismo!te mando un abrazo , me llamo Cesar Acuña integrante del grupo musical Los Acuña , de Argentina .

[@benlooy547]

I feel like this guy never makes a mistake anymore even while practicing lol. 😂

[@noodlestea7928]

Just happy accidents

[@Asdayasman]

My piano teacher taught me well enough - go so slow you never hit a wrong note. Practice makes permanent, so get it right every time.

[@Brian-gq8jo]

A famous rapper named Quadeca brought me here and this is really calming and nice.

[@ramilrmusic6953]

I’ve been playing guitar and been following you for 10 yrs . Don’t stop playing , kee it up

[@Jade0918able]

Nothing can be lovelier than your playing. Thanks

[@shmizkin]

Why did it end!? :( Such a plesure to see you and here. true joy. Thank you dear friend, waiting for the next one. cheers! :)

[@Petestratoguitar]

you're such a great player.. one of my reference points, thank you!

[@filipino2dmax]

This is what you call nasty smooth

[@slkwonk]

The transition chord before the minor key change was lovely, and executed perfectly.

[@maxwellhatkow6209]

I've listened to this somewhere close to 18 times in the past 2 days. So relaxing.

[@A1B2C3757]

You are awesome! You have an elegant style that gives a high class to youre interpretations. So clear and warm! Congratulations! You are a Master, no doubt!

Your guiter sounds great. I like it much I'm from japanese.

[@jichu6251]

Isn't she lovely Isn't she wonderful Isn't she precious Less than one minute old I never thought through love we'd be Making one as lovely as she But isn't she lovely made from love Isn't she pretty Truly the angel's best Boy, I'm so happy We have been heaven blessed I can't believe what God has done Through us he's given life to one But isn't she lovely made from love Isn't she lovely Life and love are the same Life is Aisha The meaning of her name Londie, it could have not been done Without you who conceived the one That's so very lovely made from love

[@RawTakes]

Still trying to look for the reasons why there are over 400 thumbs down..the entire piece is beautiful 😏👌🔥

[@DanielBeattyDefinition]

Those dislike come from all the guitars who wanted him to play them

So clean and fluid it's insane, makes it look easier than cutting through butter with a hot knife

[@slickyjorj]

Beautiful....

[@ItsAlexComan]

how is that harmonic at 1:08 possible? it blew my mind, to be honest.

[@alexwr]

He's just tapping 12 frets up from the note directly on the fret :) It's not too difficult a technique, more so without gain at all admittedly, but very cool indeed!

[@overundah]

@Alex Wilson: Pickups.

[@StuxNETozor]

Practice and you'll see it's not that hard :) It's all about spending the right amount of time and reflexion
