    Just wanted to let you know that your music is about 90% of my 2 year old's sleep/car ride/ play time playlist. He's been jamming your tunes for literally his whole life and I think it has something to do with his overall happy demeanor and intelligence.
    Thanks for giving my son an early love of music.

    OMG, Sam Griffin and City Pop, that's the best. Really love Maryia Takeuchi. Please consider an arrangement of any Tatsuro Yamashita's song. :D

    Aaarrgghh BEST COVER EVER!!!!!!!!! I cant believe you nailed so many of the chord voicings sooo good right in the feels!!! Is that drop D tuning going on to nail some of those chord progressions.. can't believe you caught and built in so many of the little nuanced phrases that make this song so utterly groovy. Man like Sam got more grooves than a hundred records. Been listening to this song as a little kid in the 80s when Hong Kong popstar Anita Mui covered it. I only discovered decades later as an adult the Japanese original by Mariya. You Sir have CRUSHED it!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

    this is undoubtedly the best guitar cover of plastic love on youtube. it's not stale, has so much GROOVE, true to the song with added flair and style, and also, by the way his hand stretches in some parts it's definitely unique to him lol. god DAMN that T-A-S-T-Y bass lick at 1:57-1:58 😫👌🏼💦 i only wish sam finished the song and did the ending riff that would've made this perfect. still perfect though great work!

    Thanks for putting these videos up. I still can't get over how it always sounds like TWO guitars.

    This came at a strangely perfect time (currently learning about Japanese pop music in my East Asian music class at Columbia) and the cherry on top is that the playing is amazing (as always)!
    I also want to take the time to say you’ve been a huge reason that I play classical guitar today and you’ve impacted my playing as much as the greats! Thanks for all your work Sam!

    Japanese City Pop really is fun, groovy, peaceful music. And it's pretty accessible to people in their 30's or 40's...familiar style from growing up, and also a decent amount of English lyrics. I got a random torrent off of pirate bay and threw the first few volumes on a USB stick to listen to in the car. Easy peasy.
