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

[@toddallen7862]

Good songwriting always wins

[@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!!

[@lewishutton109]

Beautiful Piece of music

[@Hamppzah]

love the 5/4

[@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.

[@kraeuterguru]

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

[@RK-nw4pg]

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

[@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

[@wolfpunkbot]

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

[@wuchuanjihe1961]

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

[@Rinocalandra]

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

[@dylanryche]

haha, I'm glad you're so interested in this. It's about half done....almost there!

[@bildatheventure]

[@christopherweaver5904]

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

[@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 ...

[@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.

[@BrianHenkeGuitarist]

Beautiful composition, beautifully played!!

[@peeweesherman]

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

[@scotmarq]

This guy is absolutely amazing!!!

[@anthonyramsey89]

[@HelenLangworthy-j2t]

[@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. :)

[@K1LL14N]

what mic are they using to record al these performances?

[@700kotchi]

[@BJayHomeslice]

"Nailed" it LOLOL

[@TheDailyGuitarist]

[@lzman12]

Great ass song

[@socialdef3]

[@dylanryche]

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

[@rye13103]

soo beautiful

[@RECOGNI7E]

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

[@jagdogs]

3:11 - He's somewhere else

[@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.

[@HungVu-ec3jk]

did he just use his pinky to pick?

[@joaosupico7272]

Great soul ;)

[@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? ;)

[@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.

[@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.

[@FenlonAcoustic]

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

[@Sarah-u2n]

9100 Considine Forks

[@thisistheonlywayd]

or Australia

[@laurentv.5430]

Love the soul of your songz

[@Quipstiley]

Is that Dylan Ryche?

[@TheSpoonwood]

So many great players ... I do think there should be an open tuning and standard tuning sub division award .

[@motoronna]

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

[@Agradelous234]

Sweet :)

[@motoronna]

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

[@LeslieNikulka]

BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏

[@Tids_]

Well, that's my weekend gone! Beautiful song man, keep on creating music, the world needs it!

[@motoronna]

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

[@UNDOSTREIS]

This song is redic. This guy is truly an amazing musician, proud to be Canadian!

[@andrewfrancis7739]

Alex Stoneace lmao

[@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 :)

[@digital_nobody]
