Finally, after watching this video for many years, I had to pleasure to see him live in Glasgow this past weekend. It was GREAT, to say the least. His voice was so powerful, he was super nice with the public and even came down from the stage, and walked with the public while singing, he didn't miss a single tone, and he played pretty much every instrument. I would dare to say that he's one of the best and most talented artist alive. He is unbelievable.

i saw Kristian perform for the first time after 2 years in August of 2021 due to the pandemic in Sweden, Dalarna, rättvik in Swedens most beautiful outdoors concert hall (Dalhalla, look it up) deep in to the forrest. My girlfriend burst into tears the second he took the stage and the rest of the evening was really magical, with the first time hearing Kristian sing in swedish. He opened the consert with a string picking rendition of the gardner and closed it with a cover of I will always love you if im not misstaken, which was a running theme during the evening, he expressed a lot of love to the audience many times, i think he realized he was on home turf when he mentioned a supermarket in his home town of Borlänge and people cheered, a trip i will look back to for the rest of my life as being perfect. All thanks to Kristian himself, one of Swedens best and most underappreciated artists of all time, he really doesnt get the recognition he deserves over here... that all for me, thanks T

mikebiketrike I'' say something like thicker string gauge than usual, maybe a brand like elixir and relatively low action on the neck should get you in the ball park :-) the dynamic microphone he uses on the guitar is also responsible for that kind of "sharp" sound on the guitar sound. Try a SM-57 on the guitar !

I know he doesn't have one above, but a steel guitar should really give a good sound too. Very "twangy" tones to them because of the body.

mikebiketrike He strums very hard and has a capo on for most songs which lowers the strings further up the fret board. that makes the buzz and ads an additional "twang" from stumming so hard. he also plays OM or OO style gutiars whose small bodies lend to that sound as well. ALSO he tunes his guitar DADGBD for most songs (tuning up)

+Tiffany R +Tiffany R No, I don't think he does. He's just Swedish haha. Social interaction in Sweden is super limited, and also this was filmed not very far into his solo career. He was used to having a band behind him and jumping/climbing around when he was in The Montezumas. So his uncomfortableness, I guess you could say, comes from a combination of those two things. If you watch shows and interviews of him now, he's MUCH more comfortable and personable- he even cracks a few jokes here and there.

Many people disagree, I know but I do think that he's just as talented as Bob Dylan, the circumstances of his life and our world won't make him as famous or be considered a legend like Dylan is but that doesn't mean it's not true. Many talented people whom we have no idea of are as talented as the legends of the past were but we'll never know them because they didn't have the luck to be known.

He didn't even use a PA, just walked around playing his guitar and singing these songs. Will never forget it! Was inches away from him hearing essentially the same experience the NPR team got at this Tiny Desk. :)

Sometimes the sign of a new artist is they tend to rush their songs. Either from inexperience, anxiety, fear people don't want to listen to their songs, etc. He's really pumping up the pace on these songs and it's interesting when you compare him to now, 7 years later. Even he admitted he is a lot more confident and takes his time when playing, that he is a lot more mellow when it comes to performing. Still sounds good, but once he became a lot more experienced and comfortable his music really resonates with his audience even more

+Tyler Gaylord I will take this thought with me when playing my guitar. I tend to rush also. I don't know I'm doing it till I record and replay.

I tend to disagree. This is maybe one of my favorite performances by anyone. Simply because it is so raw. Unadulterated. Yearning. Its beautiful in that regard.

fl4grant That's the beauty of music, its all different to others. For me though, he has able to sharply intertwine his levels, being able to slow down or quite a performance to almost a whisper while keeping his power and emotion. Or he can speed it up and attack with ferocity without ever being overbearing and off tune. I just saw him live a couple weeks ago, he is a master at controlling not only his instruments, or the instruments of the band, but the audience as an instrument. He walked out and put his finger to his mouth and had us be very quite for the first few songs. So we all tuned in with him, and then he lead us along the journey with him so there was no senseless noise like at some concerts, instead we were all tuned into the same frequency. I have never seen someone control an audience so well. So seeing him, after all this time, get better and better at mastering all aspects of music is breathtaking. And yet, after all this time, it still sounds fresh and still sounds raw. It's beautiful

My favorite part of this video is that during "The Gardener," he is having so much fun with the song. Being a musician myself, I love to see other artists who can show that they're having a good time performing their work.

you guys imagine this guy in sweden, located in a small folkshouse getting ready for a smaller gig. we're about 30 people in there, there for the sake of listening to the softening music he creates with his person. he's not just singing and playing the guitarr, he's using his whole body to produce something unique, something very hard find today amongst the music industry. we got to speak to him in person afterwards.. and i even got to hold his guitarr for a few secs :) t'was a blast, i tellyou
