This is a solo acoustic guitar (instrumental) cover of a song: Wake Me Up by Avicii.
Original song lyrics:
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

Avicii be like from the heaven," Yeah boii. Proud of you!!"

[@James42_]

I just realized. The OG guitar returned !!

[@JoniLaa]

It never left 😌

[@Kjapiub]

Wating for your play. Miss you😭😭

[@Diganta_Dey]

Same here 😭... We are really waiting for his new guitar videos..

[@GarethEvansYT]

If a Laakkonen plays in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? - I guess that answers that

[@James42_]

Based on quantum theory, no cuz he's not there when no one is looking, he just exists in his own reality until someone see him, sharing his reality with another person.

[@JoniLaa]

According to few annoyed squirrels - I did indeed make a sound 🧐

[@sapphire6015]

I remember it was an argument between Albert Einstein and an infamous scientist about a tree falls in deep forest.

[@adiseshachegu2484]

oh come on he does make sound...the cameraman is listening!

[@bradipoveloceyt1020]

Hi Joni, I'm a big fan of yours and thanks to you I started playing fingerstyle and I'm happy with this choice and thank you. (I love this cover) But I have a problem with the percussive slap technique with my thumb on the strings. When I do this, the strings create an annoying noise. *If I may ask you a question, what are the best guitar strings for fingerstyle?*

[@geraldsimatupang7147]

He is playing a steel guitar making the sound more strong

[@Joel-gy6wm]

really the strings are not that important, you don't need to spend on elixir, from my own experience, use a set of Daddario, that should be enough
