This is definitely the best version. I've never understood why the brass section was in this, sounding like a football special theme tune. It grated badly.
There is a clean version on CZcams marked as "by Clapton" but is actually Mason Williams ... & a fine rendition of the Tommie Emmanual arrangement by the incomparable Gabriella Quevedo ... enjoy!
@alikakalanihuia8891 I was going by, and I quote " best rendition ever." But, as you clarified, as amature alevel, he did pretty good. And, true, unfair to compare to Tommy E. I have NEVER seen ANYONE play the strings above the nut...and make it work. Until I saw Tommy E do it.
Matthew is like a Zen Master, trace-like in his concentration. Wow squared.
Aha, cheers
Less is definitely more with this one. It's just so good on its own. Outstanding performance
Thank you very much!
I have loved this song since High School.
Me too!
Sir we are telling our age .. lol
More like junior high school for this very old broad.
Probably my favourite piece of guitar music. Brilliant performance!
Thank you!
We need to bow down Matthew is a god. Thanks Matt
Ahaha Your Welcome !
I enjoyed this clean version without the pizaz. The basic tune is great by itself.
Absolutely!!
It's better standing alone. It doesn't need any help.
Agreed
Mason would approve . great job
Marvelous rendition. Superb playing!
Nicely done my favorite guitar piece.
Mason Williams A minor masterpiece…
A great rendition of this beautiful piece
Thank you :)
Nicely played. A very close copy of Mason William's original. He would be proud!
Excellent
Right on the money. !!!
Nice😊 i like all different versions myself. I remember when this came out. I roked in the grade school auditorium 😅
Mason would be amazed
Impeccable!

Awesome!
Best version ever.Beautiful.
Thank you very much!!
Very Nice!
Very enjoyable! :D
Very good job! You really have that Mason Williams vibe! 😊
Thank you!
Good performance.
That was truly awesome!! An extremely difficult piece performed to perfection!!!
That's what I was wondering. As a non-musician I can't judge the difficulty, but I am sure it sounds beautiful
@@mikebreeden6071 There are few guitarists in the world that can play this song note for note like the original.
Amazing work! Filled up my senses with pure joy.
Awesome my bro ..Tino Ataahua 🙏🏽♥️ New Zealand..
One thing I know for sure you won't EVER get is a dislike on this one. That was so, so great.
I discovered this song thank to Tommy Emmanuel. I lov Tommy's version and the original one....grate performance!
Thanks!, Yes Tommy Emmanuels version is incredible.
Wow
OMG!!! Extremely well done. The best rendition ever. Thank you for posting.
You obviously haven't heard Tommy Emanuel do this. Absolute best ever!!!
It wouldn’t be fair to compare anyone to Tommy.

@@JamieCarter-wv8rp Understood and agree.
instant subscription .......You play very well!
Thanks very much, that means a lot, you can find me on instagram also @MPGuitarist
Primo!
wtf is this:) love it:)
I think that I saw this first performed by Mason Williams on The Smothers Brother show
Am I right?
Yes. Mason was also one of the Brother's comedy writers.
crushed it my guy
Not exactly - he didn't play the double hammer on on the C note of Am chord the way Mason Williams composed it.
@@DanJanyja-vl9qz ok nerd
This is the music we will love forever … not this shit they do today
😂😂There's a lot of good stuff today, you just gotta find it
Oh Robyn?
Oh Robyn Kleme?!
Too bad for the squeak at the end...
Be better
This IS the best version, without the orchestra, Tommy Emanuel version, electronic BS and whatever. 😊
Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy more videos I'm going to make
Very beautiful, but I think it sounds a little too somber, to be honest. Lighten up a little...
