    It's hilarious listening to people criticize his music claiming to hear dissonance or such nonsense. If you understood music or could play at all, you'd understand how good this is - not just his play but the arrangement as well. This fingerstyle is so far ahead of just strumming chords on a guitar and he executes masterfully.

      @@ryaningham5374 No, he's right. Being smart has nothing to do with it. If you play guitar, then you know how advanced this is, and that the only people complaining don't understand because they don't play.

      Besides, the clim that anything is dissonant is ridiculous. There is NOTHING dissonant in here. People who say such thing need to attend a couple of music theory classes.

      It’s not just his technique. The arrangement is masterful too. He gets SO much done with relatively low intensity fingering. He’s planning on playing for a long, long time.

      JG this is actually one of his easier songs to play. The thing is, with enough practice and motivation, anyone can play his songs. I can play most of his songs on guitar pretty well. The more impressive thing about sungha jung is how he's able to arrange these songs this well. That takes way more skill than actually being able to play it and that's why he's so much better than me.

Especially when it comes to the song that's dedicated to my home state of West Virginia, The places mentioned in the song, the Shenandoah, and Blue Ridge mountain, these places were amazing to me, almost like a theme park or a live Football game. We only talked about them when we were trying to have a fun weekend with the family. And as for the moonshine, well, it'll definitely put a few teardrops in your eyes.

    Life is old there, older than the trees,
    Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong,
    West Virginia,
    Mountain mamma,take me home
    Country roads
    All my memories, gather round her
    Modest lady, stranger to blue water
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong,
    West Virginia,
    Mountain mamma, take me home
    To the country roads
    I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
    Radio reminds me of my home far away
    Driving down the road I get a feeling
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong,

      I believe, the country roads were the ones taking him home. He wasn't going to the country roads. Also, there might be a few modest ladies in West Virginia, but I believe he was refering to the State being a mining State, hence, "miner's lady"

    I wish you had done more folk, country, blues songs, from the olden times. Bob Dylan, John Denver, Townes Van Zandt, etc.

    I am a very good guitar player, better than most people, but I can never be as good as this guy!! This version is INSANELY difficult to play. He may be the only person in the world who can play this song in this style. Sounds too good to be real!
