Possibly the best solo guitar I’ve ever heard. Just Incredible
First Circle might be my favourite composition of all time, so I always appreciate anyone's take on it. This is beyond impressive. I had to sit in silence for a bit afterwards just to process it. Well done.
Thank you- I appreciate that.
This performance was so pristinly done that I kept "hearing" a back-track when there really was none... As if he was playing more than one instrument! What an amazing talent and flawless execution... It just blows my musical mind! Simply exquisite, like a Maestro, Bravo!!
Being a musician, it takes a little bit more to impress me. And I am not at all impressed. I am blown away. This song is challenging with 8 musicians playing in perfect sync. And to tune a guitar to facilitate this song is brilliant. Genius. And I am sorry I have not been acquainted with your music, but I damn sure will watch for you sir. Thank you so much for posting this Metheny material. And yes, I also am impressed..beyond measure.
100%
Ditto to everything. I couldn't have said it better, so I won't try.
Very beautiful comment. Greets from a musician :)
Hard to believe what I have just seen. The whole arrangement on six strings. Incredible. What a fantastic talent you have.
Wonderful
Absolutely Brilliant!!! “The First Circle” is one of the greatest musical compositions of all time. You have very beautifully captured on so guitar a song that took 5 great musicians to play on the original CD. Great Job! 👏🏻 Thank You! 🙏🏻
I absolutely love Pat’s and Lyle’s music! People will be performing and list to their music 200 years from now like people listen to Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven today.
Vc falou tudo! Vou ouvir está música 1000 vezes e ainda assim me surpreender com sua beleza 🙌
As always, thanks to everyone for their thoughts here and for your continued interest in my channel. Feel free to send requests for tunes or questions on music- looking into developing more interactive material for anyone who may be interested.
Вы невероятный музыкант💥❤!Спасибо вам🙏
Spellbinding arrangement and performance of a masterpiece by Metheny/Mays! Wow!
That was incredible. Bravo!!
Genius execution of a genius composition. I never would have believed anyone could pull this off solo. Thanks and cheers to you!
Hello from London, UK. What a brilliant and beautiful performance my friend.... Thank you so much for the joy it gives me in listening to it (time-and-time-again lol)...😁
Thank you very much!
R.I.P. Lyle Mayes. This is a beautiful rendition of a most beautiful song. Thank you, sir.
Still saddened! But at least we still have his (and their) music!!!
I have become someone I hate. I force this music down every throat I meet because how does this song not change your life?. To hell with them, more for me. Great rendition.
Amazing performance. You are up there with the best . Now only imagine how good Metheny and Mays are to have written this. You did it justice, sir.
I absolutely agree with everyone. You´re arrangement and playing are absolutely superb and carried out with exquisite taste. Thanx heaps.
A few comments: fantastic playing, transcription is excellent. Also, this a great promo video for Furch guitars, love the sound of this one!
I was randomly searching for the next piece to learn on guitar… You sharing this represents both an enormous challenge and a tremendous help to achieve it ❤❤❤
Never get bored to hear Furch guitars: these are a gift
Thank you, and good luck
Probably my favorite Metheny piece of all time… beautifully done!
Bravo Dan!!!! Bravissimo!!!!🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of my favorite PMG songs. I never would have imagined that a solo guitarist could have covered this song this well. Dan somehow brings to life not only the guitar, but the vocal lines, keyboards and percussion. Unbelievable arrangement and virtuosic playing!
Dan, if possible , play that PAT , *change of heart*😁 Hugs
Speechless, breathless
This makes me extremely happy. Thanks Dan Spollen!
Is it possible to hit the like/ thumbs up button 16 times? This is a truly amazing interpretation! Bravo!
before I heard you do this, I was thinking, 'there's no way'.... well, you did it. bravo.
exactly...
My goodness, gracious! Magnifico!
You are not BRAVO. You are BRAVISSIMO.
The emotion that your art gives, distracts from the incredible tech skill that you reach in this wonderful performance
Thank you. Hopefully technique becomes invisible- the music is priority.
Eh, mi Amigo te ha quedado muy bràva esa pizza. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
Love to do the vocal parts along within your perfect playing ! Awesome
Che bellezza .. grazie!!! 🥹
I've been checking out different YT versions of this tune, because I love it. Thanks for this one, fab. Cheers.
There are many covers around with all the instruments, parts and vocals perfectly done but this one is my preferred. It moves me and it is simply perfectly played.
Thanks Stefano!
Nicely done!!! Bravo!!
Phantastic! Thanks a lot for this interpretation
I cannot believe my ears, I cannot believe my eyes. You also did the arrangements. This is a playing beyond words.
Simply Sensational!
Makes me get goosebumps! First Circle came out when I was a Sr. In college. I’ve been listening to it ever since. Your rendition is nothing less than exquisite. Thank you!
I couldn't stop vocalizing all over the video. Truly amazing.
One-MAN orchestra!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing.
Brave and brilliant. You win the prize!
Absolutely amazing
Seven people don't like this? Probably your neighbours cause you're playing too loud. How beautiful to hear this complicated song played by just one guitar. Great job!
7 people? --- > less than 1%, don't worry :)
Wonderful. You gave me something to dream of (and work on) for the next two years! Life is so beautiful!
It certainly is
AMAZING!!!!❤
I think Pat Metheny himself would appreciate this cover !…
Bravo!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man nice work! solo acoustic tribute to the great Pat.
WOW!!! Fantastic. I can't believe you could do that arrangement solo. Thank you!
Wow! Speechless...😮
Dark mood for me today with personal frustrations and our National calamities in the news......forgot all about these small problems listening to your beautiful playing tonight. Keep “discOvering” more gems of guitar finery here. Tim
Gran versión, estoy seguro que Pat y Lyle estarían felices de oír la riqueza sonora que adquiere su joya en sus manos amigo! Fantástico y mágico!
AWESOME AND FANTABULOUS
Very nice version well done!
Absolutely Amazing!! The only way to improve would be to wear a striped shirt while you play.
;-)
LOL
TOTALLY
A pair of jeans and running shoes
It is surreal, as he "fades to black"...
MARVELLOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me quedo sin palabras. Que genialidad al realizar ese arreglo para guitarra .Es escuchar a la band de Pat Metheny en un solo instrumento y con una precision admirable.
Wow, Beautiful, wow
Congratulations! Amazing version of First Circle for solo guitar. Really wonderful. By the number of shares I'm seeing I'm not the only one to think about it in this way.
Magnificent!
I was a Brazilian kid i my 20S walking down the streets of Belo Horizonte where I was listening to Toninho Horta and Clube da Esquina with Milton Nascimento when I heard for the first time this song. If I am not mistaking it was in 1983 or 84...it is part of me ever since.
Brilliant!
Bravo! Simply amazing. Thank you also for being one of the few to properly credit Lyle Mays on a Pat Metheny Group cover!
omg that was so much fun... I sang along the whole time and ended with the claps!!!
Heavenly !
The Intro to this Pat Metheny tune has always tugged at my heart strings.
You Dan have made my day with your version, you played it Brilliantly.
Your obviously a Huge Metheny Fan, Me too, only I'm a Pro Drummer.
I first got into Pat Metheny when I was 17yrs old buying my first Metheny
Album which was the Double Live "Travels" Album on Vinyl, it changed my life.
To be the Best you have to listen to the Best, You, Me Both.
Pleasure to Watch & Listen to you Dan.
Thank you for your comments Jonathan.
凄い！とても良い演奏！
Yeahhhhh!!! Amazing!!!!
Many years ago... i played and pat was the man I listened to in my off hours and to relax, contemplate and completely enjoy. You are a credit to us. Bravo.
Meraviglia!!!🌺👍
I’m not worthy! 🙌🏻
Beautiful interpretation.
Thanks
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is easily my favorite Metheny tune of all time, and you totally nail it, sir! Very well done indeed!
Bravissimo
BRAVO!!!!!!!!
That was beautiful, Dan!
Great work - you have my deepest respect 🫡
Thanks!
Spectacular!!!
Amazing transcription!!!! Lovely. Who are the 17 people who didn't like this?
Superb Dan!
I’m very close to playing this great arrangement up to tempo. It’s been really a lot of fun to learn. One thing that I’ve added in order to simulate PMG Toms hits is to strike the top of the guitar with the right hand in rhythmic percussive rolls (al laFlamingo) when it modulates to the Eb section chord as it moves back into the energized 22/8 cadence. It have an acoustic guitar with a pickup, an extra punch, and there is more than enough time for fills like this. Dan has really done an phenomenal job grabbing the essence of this great composition.
Just a great performance and transcription! The melody is singing all the way thru! Love it!!!
BRAVO!!!!❤
Excellent
Magnificent. Playing and transcribing that truly captures the rhythmic complexity and harmonic beauty of the original.
So beautiful! Wow!
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wooaawww ❤❤❤
WOW ! Beautiful !
Absolutely brilliant
Hah, wow, I just searched for "how to play intro to First Circle" and found your video. Just amazing. Great arrangement, I bet you were glad to hit the last note after all of that. I know a LOT of work went into this...great intonation, action, guitar tones, lighting. I see your classical roots in your style. Thanks. I havent seen that guitar brand.
Excelente, bravo!!!
Wow… this is very inspiring. Just wow…
Great cover. All has been said except for the awesome guitar sound!
BRAVO!
Subscribed! You have embodied this song! Muy fantastico!!
