The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding - Guitar -Fingerstyle - Michael Chapdelaine

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

Can’t believe you are gone. Rest in peace, Michael

[@jmadadak]

Michael, You are without any doubt possibly the finest player I’ve heard. If I could afford the trip I would absolutely love to see you preform live. If you ever come to Tennessee I’ll try my hardest to get there.

[@AWFguitar]

Now I understand what it means that a guitar can sing. It's like I can play a little guitar but I watch this and it's like we are playing different instruments. I hope that some alt tuning cuz I didn't recognize any chord shape. Amazed.

[@johnsonlb88]

It appears to be an open tuning of somekind

[@jayverkuilen5535]

Chris J At the end of the song he hits a lot of open strings and it sounds like a G chord, so I'd guess open G or some variant.

[@leoosiku]

A string tuned down to G all other strings in standard

[@danielibnz]

+leoosiku Bingo... Only 5th string tuned down from A to G. All the rest are standard tuning.

[@MrArtist2007]

Very smooth on the soul.... You can see the sun setting, walking back up the shore for a dinner with best friends.... Priceless!!

[@lindaklint307]

this is amazing talent

[@magicalsponge]

Seeing you play this so well and with so much passion inspires me to practice even harder to get to that level. Cheers!

[@ben2you611]

I Love guitarplayers who don't look to much at the way their fingers are playing! That means they mainly play from the heart! Wonderfull performance Michael!

[@JE7705]

That was absolutely wonderful. Felt like I was on the beach again just like Redding's version always made me feel. Splendid!

[@JasonEngman]

I keep coming back to your version it's so good. Easily the best acoustic out there. Not only that but i appreciate the inspiration not just for the music but being able to feel it and have it flow out. Got so much feeling. Good stuff.

[@maryannfryar8289]

There you go again making the strings sing. I really liked this and the Martin is beautiful. Take care! Peace, Love and Seaya, MA

[@thebooks2404]

I just found this channel while looking for a good "mad world" guitar cover to rip off and have now officially made myself late for work watching your videos. I've never cared less about being late in my life. Keep on pluckin'!!!

[@ksgjlg]

This is a phenomenal arrangement. Not technically difficult but that's what makes it so good. It gets everything in there without cramming it full of any excess. I'll be working on this piece. I play a lot of more difficult pieces but none better. Beautifully done

[@SuperStratification]

Been following you for years (and trying to play your music), so I'm familiar, but still, to this I have to say "wow!". You are pushing the potential of the instrument, as well as playing with real feeling! Beautiful.

[@kathleenbright3935]

I love all these on his playlist.Mmmm...Music to live with & die by...

[@cristop5]

Always loved that tune. Thanks Michael.

[@alainj8772]

Quel artiste !

[@Angyalka1111]

Thank you dear friend. ..Michael. Nice play the guitar. I like to listen. I wish you a very nice day and weekend .. much love to you macika

[@mike_van_in]

This is simply astounding! Magnificent.

[@browill9]

Love it! Felt it! Thanx again for the treat. Awesomeness

[@funguy4utube]

All magical … As if two guitarists playing at the same time but you cover both bass, rhythm, and leads … the point at 1:50 bit just slays me ... Supreme playing. Kudos.

[@MrBowsmith]

Stunningly good. Wow.

[@revedmusic]

I love your music, always have. Your California Dreaming posted by others years prior to your having your own channel inspired thousands to learn it. The same is true for your "I heard it through the grapevine". I play some but haven't posted for years. I don't play well but I enjoy it anyway. I see you using your middle finger to get more pressure on your first finger to bar. I am trying that.

[@sdelaet]

Really great stuff, Michael.

[@VelezBiH]

Great arrangement love it! Love this song, great pick for the cover.

[@thesnowedone]

Great rendition; even if you didn't sing it like Redding. ;-) I certainly know I enjoyed it! Wonderful feel and a lovely rich arrangement.

[@JasonZimmerman1980]

Always a pleasure to watch you play. 2:40 thru to the end was my favorite part. Very smooth!

[@MrLapejo]

Well, you sure make the guitar sing! Marvelous! Cheers Peter

[@HoOtgibson70]

Genius Micheal!

[@tellingyoustories]

Wow. Fantastic

[@kennethmassey534]

Niceness on that guitsy my man👍🔥

[@ruggeropoggianella422]

When they say "Oldies but Goldies"... and yes it is... I only humbly stare at this sound...

[@jarrodcourter1801]

Saw you at the 2013 gfa in Louisville! You crushed your set; hope to see you again soon!

[@ЯшаРыльскии-ф9и]

супер сыграл!!!Вот что значит профи)

[@ashlieconboy8423]

amazing. how do you even get to this level ?? i feel like i can spend the rest of my life practicing and never get here. to me, there’s a huge leap between playing what i see on a tab/what i hear in a song vs just feeling it and letting the instrument sing. your guitar is singing

[@tracysilverman]

sweet!

[@artpunu7375]

Yes I love guitar every melody

[@funguy4utube]

I can just imagine you playing, "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" … I am sure you would do it supreme justice !

[@nalk20]

I´ll second that and throw in "What a day for a daydream" by Lovin´ Spoonful and I would peresonally have enough for a "hammock siesta soundtrack". Wow. :)

[@funguy4utube]

right on nalk ...

[@pickerdad8402]

Hey funguy, check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2paGCLnp5nd6s

[@pickerdad8402]

Hey nalk20, "Daydream" What a great idea for a fingerstyle piece. MC would be great on it!

[@Jason1874-XYZ]

Love this piece so much! Thanks!

[@staffansvahn]

sweet...sublime...

[@sockenfrank]

With an Martin Guitar. Wonderful.

[@showtown7563]

[@MrWolmar]

[@hhawki3]

Awesome!

[@carlos4403]

loved it. Thanks.

[@janeirvine8391]

Fantastic! I will be expecting a forthcoming tutorial on this Michael! Would you please do a tutorial on "Rose of Spanish Harlem" by Ben E. King? I think you'd knock it out of the park! Thank you for posting!

[@yoelsotovillarrubia]

This is unbelievable...

[@madafaka852]

Aaaaaaaa man, you are AWSOME!!! I wish you give lessons!

[@vfxtra3858]

is it possible to get tabs for this arrangement

[@11Kralle]

Finally: someone, who knows what he is doing!!! Take my honest like and sub.

[@artpunu7375]

สบายๆ ไปไหนก็มีแต่เรื่องดีๆ

[@vanhelsing4623]

Do you have guitar Tab?

[@roryboyes2307]

Have you any advice on playing this? I really want to learn your version but i dont know how to adapt things right now

[@roryboyes2307]

If anyone is good at making tabs please team up with this man I need this tab

[@andreverhagemusic]

what type of Martin guitar do you use?

[@GLDNSTATE]

LOL Your amazing.....

[@larryrobertsemarkphd3677]

Hi, I was wondering what model this Martin guitar is? Thanks

[@depstein2000]

Looks like a Martin to me

[@futnuh]

Michael, is it just a camera illusion or do you use your middle finger occasionally to assist with the first-finger barre?

[@samlopez7069]

Why does it matter?

[@MichaelChapdelaineofficial]

+futnuh Probably. My technique is pretty free of rules that don't assist the flow and expression of the performance. I am a "street fighter" when it comes to technique.

[@JazzGuitarPractice]

its a common technique, i use it all the time:)

[@pickerdad8402]

Me too. Use it whenever I can. So does a top teacher I know. Gotta conserve strength for when it's the only way!

[@garyfleming5508]

Nice work! I'm guessing you played this in Open E Tuning - is that right?

[@MichaelChapdelaineofficial]

standard with 5th string tuned to G

[@pakoroutube]

Is your guitar tuned to open string?

[@aggabus]

Slap bye

[@thereisnotenoughalice]

Wonderful!
