A Whiter Shade Of Pale (fingerstyle) 

I have been listening to music for a long,long, time and this is probably the most beautiful thing i have ever heard.

I found your beautiful classic guitar playing today. So wonderful, thanks for putting these where the world can hear your hard work.

Absolutely beautiful. I listened to several guitar solos of this song. This is the best. Great job.

Hanz, you have just made me a fantastic gift of this music. This has brought so many happy memorys back to me. My wife of 17 years walked down the isle to this song when we got married (although it wasnt played as well that day as you have on here) but what a day!! Thank you so much, you have no idea ho much you have moved me. Max

Das lässt einen wirklich wortlos werden. Man kann nichts mehr sagen, nur noch lauschen und fühlen. Wirklich großartig und tief berührend. Es trifft auf die Sehnsucht im Herzen und bringt sie zum Schwingen. Mehr noch als viele andere Versionen dieses ohnehin wunderschönen Titels.

One of the best version! Thank you for sharing it with us.

This is fantastic. Not only the playing but the tone and the feel of the whole performance is top class, well done.

I have no words for this. How can you turn a beautiful song into something better!

Wonderfull performance ! Indescribable! Perfect! Thanks!

What kind of creature gives a "dislikes" on this video? Ok, maybe you don't like this kind of music, but the guitarist was flawless... Congratulario Mr. HanzP

Beautiful arrangement. Perfect and artful playing. Thank you very much Hansel Pethig.

Sold! Congrats for the clean playing.

Lovely arrangement. Martin is an exceptional guitarist and you do him justice with this. Thank you for uploading.

I get chills when I watch his technique and his tone... awesome.

An absolute inspiration to us all - in a lovely format of watching, listening and learning.

I can listen at this a thousands times and never getting tired of it,...always the same thrills....beautiful,..just beautiful,...!

I have this set to play over and over again.

I'm back. Again and again I listen to your impeccable finger style and long for more and more. PLEASE upload more like this Hansel.

Wonderful. Peaceful. Accurate. Inspiring. I want to play like this.

Stunning

Beautifully played, great dynamics and feel. Pretty awesome stuff, you play beautifully. The chiming really took it to a different place too, awesome arrangement by Martin Tallstrom.

Unbelievable!!!!!!! I really like your hammering (old John Denver fan!). Truly beautiful guitar playing!!!! I'm going to love hearing that on my Guild D-40SB!

Thank you for that beautiful music.

Gorgeous!!!!

You nailed it. I just came across this beautiful arrangement and you have succeeded in capturing the haunting brilliance of Martin Tallstrom. Wonderful job.

Hi Hansel, lange nicht "gesehen"... Umso größer ist die Freude, dass du ein neues Video hast!!! Sehr gefühlvoll vorgetragen!!! Wie immer ein Genuß!! Liebe Grüße Sarah :-)

Hallo Hansel, ein absolut wunderschönes Stück perfekt vorgetragen. Wunderschön und mit sehr Gefühl hat Du die Harmonics gespielt. Alles in allem, Klasse! Viele Grüße Joerg

Wonderful !

Hi Hansel, I keep replaying this video again and again.. It's just so nice to hear you play it.

Thanks for you and Martin Tallstrom for this nice song. You like Martin is a great musician.

Ganz toll, Danke für diese schöne Musik !! Genau das richtige zum entspannen. Schönes Wocheende Gruß Stefan

Hansel, this is gold. I don't think I would 've ever had the guts to try this finger-style, and you performed it Flawlessly. I take off my hat to you.

Absolutely brilliant playing and arrangement by Mr. Tallstrom

Everything you play is so artfully done. I learn a great deal by watching your effortless style. Thank you Hansel.

So glad I found your channel. Beautiful playing. Thanks so much.

Hansel -- really wonderful version of Martin's arrangement. You play it perfectly, and with such feeling. A true pleasure to listen to, and what a great sound. Thank you for posting.

Hansel, Wonderful job, as always. I am a mediocre guitarist from the US who has been following you for years. In fact, you sent me a tab of your version of Redemption Song a couple of years back. How I long to be able to sit back in a coffee house or some other relaxing venue and blow everyone away with such a heartfelt and gentle technique as yours! The warm, personal feeling you project is like none other. I know it sounds a little sappy, but the beauty of your playing brings me to tears at times. Keep posting your videos and I will continue to be blown away. Mark

Das ist einer dieser Songs, die sofort ins Herz treffen ... ganz schön haste das gemacht Hansel! Liebe Grüße, Lena

I keep listening to this. Masterpeace
