Tony McManus - The Sleeping Tune/ Na Gossidich

[@arilotringer]

I keep coming back to this video every once in a while and it always has the same effect on me. Love the sound, the tune, the guitar, everything. Cheers!

[@bidyutdatta5042]

Same

[@arilotringer]

Just came back again, it always makes me feel better when I listen to this song

[@guitarcat5]

Me too!!

[@russian-guitar]

I tuned seven-string guitar in the same way and copied almost everything from this video, especially fingers. Tony made me pick up the guitar again, that's it!

[@jennifercollins249]

Same!

[@Sav-pm4fy]

I saw him do this live in union chapel London during an Andy McKee tour. It sounded so amazing

[@MrBagpipes1971]

This is originally a bagpipe tune and would not have guessed it could have 'transferred' but wow is it is beautiful and so well played.The kind of few minutes in life that makes our world a good place to be.Thank you for sharing it.

[@SupersonicTartanDeathMachine1]

My wedding song. Met Tony in '92 at the World Scottish Festival in Montreal. What a gentleman. Rest in Peace Gordon Duncan.

[@Fishymen101]

Loved listening to Celtic music all my life. I stumbled across this number nearly 10 years ago and I still listen to it!

[@DavidALucasComposer]

I can listen to this song over, and over again. Thank you Tony McManus for the music !!!

[@Piperealitycheck]

Two fantastic pipe tunes, beautifully translated to guitar.

[@brettalexanderdorahy5544]

Beautifully played on a beautiful instrument. Greenfields are a complete myth to me, I'd be happy just to see one up close before I die let alone own one.

[@tamegomait]

This is insane

[@551Newf]

The Sleeping Tune brings tears to my eyes every time I hear Tony play it. What an amazing guitar played by a god of celtic fingerstyle guitar music.

[@coreyannearmstrong]

It brings tears to mine as well. My wife plays it on the pipes and the tune is so cathartic for me. It’s one of my newest favorites.

[@McCarolMc]

Those 12 who managed to click thumbs down either have no mouse control capabilities or don't deserve to listen to brilliant music. I mean. really????????

[@zenbanjo2533]

Wonderful!!!! ❤

[@gregmirr]

Tony's playing inspires and continually surprises me at his musical imagination seems boundless ...

[@OnePieceMusicJS]

Beautiful playing. Such a beautiful arrangement. So much depth and feeling

[@suedonim3287]

your music runs through my veins....

[@scottfishkind5335]

I can never get enough of these incredible performances on that magnificent guitar which is so beautifully recorded!

[@stephen3073]

What a great thing, to have an extraordinary guitar and an extraordinary guitar player together in one place, with a good microphone. Brilliant!

[@satsujin4027]

I hit this video by accident and I'm so freaking glad I did cos this is absolutely beautiful

[@woodandsteel19]

Extraordinary. Doesn't get much better than this.

[@rebzale]

Wow. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Of course that should come as no surprise as Greenfield guitars are SO exquisite they can bring a tear to the eye of any listener especially when played by the likes of the great Tony M.

[@Mitch-m5y]

Just to let you know. I come back to this ALL the time. How does someone play a guitar like that. Has to be the most beautiful arrangement ive ever heard

[@TonchoBluegrass]

Me too, for years and years now!

[@joestem25]

@Greenfield Guitars I had the great honor to get an impromptu private lesson from Tony at a music camp a few years ago while he was chilling upside down in a hammock under a shade tree... Words dont describe his skill and talent.. and he is so laid back and such a cool dude... he even signed my Alvarez,,,

[@martinfrewen3640]

Amazing.

[@mauraoconnor7175]

All i can say is wow.. i just saw Tony last night live at Cuesta college in San Luis Obispo California. He is the best guitar ive ever seen

[@ijansz]

Amazing this guy is superb , love that song

[@manatrict4782]

I just listened and so amazed.😱

[@chadfengel]

I have. Still too much for me, but worth every penny no doubt. Someday....someday!! Thanks, Michael.

[@thatguyjoe007]

Amazing!

[@AfricanAstro]

The tone on that instrument is beyond words ... just breathtaking

[@BoomerBends]

That guitar sounds utterly alive. Amazing. I've never played a Greenfield, and after hearing this, I'm saddened that I've never had the opportunity. It sounds as if every single wood fiber is making an active contribution. Killer tonal resonance. Congrats Greenfield! Wow. Of course, Tony's playing doesn't hinder either.

[@nualawolfe4471]

This made me cry, it was so pretty....thank you for posting it!

[@Easternborders]

Just amazing and the tune was written by a piper, I am sorry what I should say is one of the best pipers that ever walked Gods Earth, Tony speaks about the man in other videos all music lovers will appreciate the story and then research the man himself

[@GQJ]

Beautiful tune, great guitarplayer on a superb guitar... happy my ears !

[@KRASIPARVANOV]

I am in love with that tune!!! Brilliant!!!!!!

[@dimitriosvulgaris]

I want one........! Seriously now exceptional luthier, recording and playing. Kudos to both artists.

[@destryridesagain]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@MindLaboratory]

that laser guided drill press behind him is much less precise

[@odonnghaile]

😂😂😂😂

[@kellogs1985]

Thank you very much for this :] It is pissing with rain outside in sunny Scotland and this made me smile from ear to ear! Made my day mr greenfield :D

[@debajitroyofficial]

Just wow!! ❤

[@richardfenner6096]

Gosh. Jimmeh, I miss seeing you, sharing a bevvy and hearing you play.

[@Existencellist]

Tony, you were so inspiring to all of us who spent time with you at NAMM. Even this cellist turned guitarist ran to all of my orchestral and guitar students to sing your praises. Thanks for being so generous with your time and talents as well as offering us insights into your techniques. Take care, sir.

[@piperjohn3]

Just gorgeous. And the Gordon Duncan tune is awesome.

[@JayCasmirri]

The playing, the guitar's amazing tone, this is incredible! There is just so much talent out there that we never hear of. Why can't Tony make mega-millions instead of Britney Spears?

[@nickymcnervin7509]

Fantastico!!!!

[@TheEpicSimplicity]

Every time i listen to this after some time I begin to think "How beautiful, how haven't I learned this? I know what I'm doing when I get home", enter time stamp 2:06. Oh well, Green Day covers it is.

[@tedpeterson1156]

Viscosco More than one git has been thrown on the burn pile after hearing this guy I bet lol

[@stevehardy7584]

I hear you but The Sleeping Tune finishes at 2.05 and that's not too hard to learn.

[@ShnawalMalik042]

Kia bat hai bro bohat achi hai tune

[@tyson9063]

Awesome song and a great instrument.

[@TagororMusic]

Amazing... very touching.

[@Geotubest]

[@iSkIdZ]

TM is a legend.

[@Numnuts007]

Superb playing, so clean

[@mikehayden8007]

Class!

[@TomWinter]

Just watched all of these video's of Mr. McManus. The new guitar has amazing tone, the sustain is superb and it just look's bad ass. Great work as usual Michael!

[@amazingvideos8841]

this is magic!

[@Crocodingle]

He tunes to CGCGCD for this song.

[@revenant235]

Crocodingle 🙏 thank you!

[@artiefischel2579]

I was thinking some of those bass notes were low for having a capo at the 2nd fret.

[@jonrocker1983]

@@artiefischel2579 that makes the note higher...

[@McPhersonBassMaster]

@@jonrocker1983 Yes, and they're saying the bass notes sounded low for having a capo at 2nd fret-meaning lower than they expected, not knowing the tuning and likely assuming originally it was either standard or DADGAD and then being confused when the bass notes were a major third or a whole step lower than expected.

[@Chrisjwhit]

Lovely playing as always from McManus I played a Greenfield last year and thought it was absolutely fantastic, I will have to start saving the pennies.

[@arijaalfa]

que grande eres Tony, mil gracias por tocar así!

[@LeeRoads]

I'm impressed

[@othoncezar]

sensacional! awesome!

[@motoronna]

Wow. I just uploaded a video of him playing this at the Canadian Guitar Festival. After hearing this, I don't know why I bothered. Absolutely amazing sound!!

[@ianwilson2455]

Hope to see you in Riverside, CA.

[@Musiker-Lanze]

very good playing...nice song.

[@Souraneel]

I was going to but I fell asleep! tune is too relaxing

[@leebatemanmusic]

This tune is gorgeous - as is your playing!

[@ChristofferBrandsborg]

brilliant!

[@romanpokutskyiofficial2092]

it's amazing!

[@johnmacward]

I am driven insane that he wont come to Ireland much, or maybe I'm just skilled at missing him.

[@AnnaPhoebeMusic]

beautiful playing!

[@JohnLaineHikeTheRedwoods]

Wow, what a perfect way to end a perfect Monday evening. What pleasant music to sooth the craziness away :) Thank you Anna Phoebe for sharing!

[@thejoshinator48]

He has hench fingers. And this song is pretty bloomin amazing

[@gskarogiannis]

Fantastic guitar but I think the playing is even more fantastic!!!

[@Boiled_Potatoe]

Probably people who don't know what true music, talent, and art is when they hear it.

[@chadfengel]

This is why I love, Fingerstyle Guitar! No BS, a just person, and their guitar!!

[@colleoification]

magnifique composition et interprétation. quelle est la marque de la guitare !!!

[@fransgreg]

Visconti Angelo Michael Greenfield a construit cette guitare.

[@harryphillips44]

3 Dislikes?? Wow......who are these people? This is inspiring.

[@RADThird1]

There are many fine guitar builders out there making wonderful instruments. As in so many things in life different people have different preferances in how we percieve the sound of hand built luthier quality guitars. I happen to think that Greenfields sound wonderful, unlike any others I've heard. Research the $ that Beneteaus go for. I just saw one at a high end guitar shop selling for $13,000 US. I think that Michael's idea with the GF is a good one. Maybe I'll play a Greenfield someday!

[@dutchcourage433]

Awesome! Makes me want to pick up my guitar right away. I think it's in CGCGCD tuning btw and not DADGAD.

[@hexsprite]

This is absolutely my favorite recording of this incredible tune by Tony McManus. But what happened to the video quality? Seems like it got degraded over time :(

[@Flatlandish]

I heard many guitars but none of them has the magic sound of the Greenfield guitar!

[@darriangario3447]

I imagine the angels will play jigs and reels on the trumpets.

[@Easternborders]

Have to comment again , you do not come across many musicians like Tony McManus a real player that should cause many famous so called rock god guitarist to reconsider their talent

[@fretdeliciousTV]

how much will the GF cost ? i love your guitars t btw they are the most beautiful instruments i have ever seen .

[@mrallyn333]

Do you have a cd someone can buy? Absolutely great guitar work.

[@mcmanustony]

[@simonecoria4605]

Great guitar and awesome playing! wich is the model of the mic?

[@mikegallagher4388]

Beautiful! Anyone know what microphone that is?

[@JBurneo]

almost sure its the usual km-184

[@gosmartmediacanada]

Any Greenfield dealers in Eastern Canada... Cape Breton, Halifax areas?

[@InsidewavesOfficial]

Is there a tab of this masterpiece somewhere in the world ?
