Medieval Song - Fingerstyle Guitar by Frédéric Mesnier 

I used to listen to this all the time when RU-vid was barely a thing lol

Who else is listening to this in 2024

this one needs a newer record at 4k, almost 13 years and I still listen to this masterpiece. The only downside of this song is that it ends.

This video inspired me to play guitar 7 years ago. Thanks

11 years since I heard this song, I'm still here listening.

Sir, you are a great musician and you are a great inspiration for us, congratulations, hails for you from Medellín Colombia.

I listened this song 12 years ago, when I was 16 and trying to learn to play guitar. Now I'm a music teacher, and remembered this. Wow, he is awesome.

how can someone dislike this amazing performance

Wow I've just found this video on a playlist I made many years ago (called "Favourites"), when I was a teenager There's a sense of nostalgia, many memories come to mind... Especially from a friend I lost in 2015 and who also loved medieval stuff I remember I told him I'd like to have this musician as my grandfather haha R.I.P. Alex, thank you for everything. And thank you, Frédéric, for this song Greetings from Brazil (:

back after a 12 year hiatus. still as good as back then.

I have been listening to this song for years. Just wanted to say how much I love it and I so wish you would put it in Spotify. A fan from Perú.

I've never seen a man so happy doing something he loves

12 Years later, and it still sounds amazing like day 1. Thank you once again for this beautiful piece of music.

Considering this was made 11 years ago, it deserves a like already. Not to mention the amazing music.

One of the first fingerpicking songs i ever learnt on guitar. I still have the sheet music on my pc that i purchased from your website. I will never stop listening! :)

So many years since I heard It for the fist time. And now I heard that this video have 14 years and, like me, a lot of people came here! May searching for "medieval song" like me. Nowaday we have a lot of videos, videos with old songs, but I believe that Frédéric was one of the firsts to upload this song here, wich I think It is autoral. Congratualtions, Fréd - let me talk like this with you hahah! - cheers, kind regards and thank you very much. Gustavo Araújo Mota - Brazil

12 years back I had this on repeat and it just popped into my mind that I missed it sorely. Fantastic piece that will always be a part of me.

I salute you Sir. Very few people are able to touch my soul.

Makes me want to go to England and slay a dragon

After 13 years of not hearing it, I stumble upon this song by chance and still remember every note perfectly. Congratulations Frédéric,

This is just AWESOME! It's like I can hear it with my soul and not my ears.

You are amazing! sorry for posting 10 years to late lol! You should record this again as a 10 year anniversary. Love this song, thanks for sharing. Hopefully someday i can play like you... Thanks for the inspiration. 👍

this is a proper classic guitar masterpiece...will echoes forever...

16 years ago I was a kid watching this video and playing the first notes on my old guitar… I still play them. Thank you, Frederic

Jadore cette composition frederic tu peut fermer les yeux en ecoutant la beaute de ces notes et tous le stress de la vie quotidienne ce libere de ton corp mais voila ce que donne tous les efforts meriter durant ces annees la perfection !!!bravo

Greetings from Brazil! That was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this great gift.

I keep listening to this, again and again ... such a beautiful tune, Frederic... bravo!!!

I am a beginner at playing guitar, but i am breaking my fingers off just play it and i am starting to roll on with it! I want to play it so badly because the feeling that this song transmits to me is so beautiful. Great piece of art!

I honor this mans work and he is a very talented man and I sencerly deep down from my heart appreciate his work and I hope he continues what he loves

Nice playing , thanks for sharing this beautiful song my friend

J'ai écouté ça chanson at 15 ans et est la mélodie de mes souvenirs. Merci. (Excusez-moi pour mon française, je suis italienne.)

Probably watched this for the first time 10-12 years ago. Here I am again. Cheers mate. 🍻

ive been lovin this tune since 2008. it will live in my favorites forever. good job Fred!

After listening to a lot of videos of yours, you definitely deserve more subs. Your music is amazing.

This is a fantastic masterpiece one of my favorite guitar pieces of all time real art

I've been playing 40 years...... I don't even know what to say....... You are fantastic!!!!

Very very awesome sir! Greetings from Brazil.

Just discovered you and your sublime music, after finding Julian Neels amazing singing. Great you both can share your musical genius in this way! I will listen to all I can, thank you for this composition for now. It has made my life a bit better at this moment.

This brought tears to my eyes. you are a beautiful musician.

This song is in my Favorites for years...

Parabens! Lembro da primeira vez que vi este video, sensacional! Um abraço diretamente do Brasil!

I don't have money to buy the tabs but im fascinated by this composition . Imust learn this absolutly

Wow.. so pleasing to the ear.:) great job

This is the first video from you that I watched, back in 2009. When I think of that time of my life, this song and "Melody in D" are the soundtracks of my memories. Thank you for that, and for all the wonderful music you give us. Love from Brazil.

How can people dislike this

Beautiful!

This song is amazing. You are awesome.

I haven't seen this for 13 yrs and it now, it still amazes me..

meu amigo vc toca muito bem parabéns! E o sentimento que vc passa na música é inexplicável.

Can someone please give me tips for medieval sounding chord progressions and scales? I'm having a hard time to figure it out.

Beautiful. But enough about me. The music was wonderful.

First listened to this song 10 years ago and still could put it on repeat truly an amazing song.

Frederick hasn't uploaded a new video in 6 months, and he used to be prolific. Does anyone know if he is alright? It's very worrying what with the atrocities in Paris last year.

reminds me of Skyrim

please someone buy me the tabs I can't stop the replay buttom

Monsieur Mesnier, Je regarde ses vidéos depuis 8 ans, exactement ce fut le premier vidéo que j'ai regardé. Je suis un espagnol qui est amoureux de ton musique.

I tried to learn this masterpiece. And then I gave up.

Sir, if i had a hat. Id tip it for u

this reminds me of Witcher 3 game a little

Listen to this while roaming Skyrim

when i see you close your eyes. i see you picturing the journey you have taken. i dont know if i will ever stand to that level at my age or later. but you are a deep feel musician. the ones that make you write a story with just a song

I've been listening this song and Medieval Dance for eight years and is still always on my mind!!! Thanks!!!

I understand people can have dissenting opinions, but who feels so strongly opposed to videos like this that they actually hit the dislike button? I mean, if you don't care for the music, you can still appreciate that the man is talented. What is it you dislike exactly?

I feel so satisfied right now. Started listening to his music when he barely got the 30k Hits, and after a year i somehow hit him up again and there it is, millions of views. Finally, the recognition he deserves. Bravo, lovely, awesome!

i think i remember finding this song about 8 months after it was uploaded. i was in middle school and just starting to play WoW really hardcore and loved the music in the game. i played other games and wanted music to listen to while i played, so i searched up Medieval Music on RU-vid lol. saw NOTHING that was like what i wanted BUT this song. i even went and looked for songs from old RPGs i used to play but nothing had the same feel. I was so shocked at how little the presence of this feel there was on the internet i became obsessed with this song and even tried to write lyrics for it lol. i came up with something and posted it in the comments. i just spent about 2 hours trying to find that comment but idk if its gone because it was on another account that got deleted or if i just am blind. im not sure what made me think of this song right now, or share my story lol, but thanks for this.

this is one of the most beutiful places of reality. Thank you Fréderic.

damn sir i listen to this for over 10 years now and still cant get enough.. your a real master

You can't even think about how much I love this song. Greetings from Argentina!

Amazing, makes me feel like I'm actually in a medieval castle, this is a proper masterpiece

This was the first classical guitar-playing video that I saw years ago as a young boy and loved everything about fingerstyle guitars. It was just back then classical guitars were not available in my city. After so many years I just want to say thank you! Because I didn't give up on my passion for music.

Came back and listen to this in 2023. Such a good memory :) Thank you for the song.

Epic guitar man makes youtube video of song from 540 years ago, but 540 years afterwards people are still listening to his video

I watched this 10 years ago. Still enjoy this today.

Ahh...Beautiful. And I couldn't agree less; having a guitar with you when you can't sleep is amazing. I just wish I could write songs myself.

So many years after i watch this video and still amazing!!! Congratulation from Brazil! You are amazing!

it just ends too soon....he needs to just play this into eternity!

Ive been working on and off on this and forgetting how to play it for years. Im so close to finally learning the whole piece. This is just such a great piece of music

I found this video many years ago, bought the tabs and hoped to learn this melody - I didn’t:(. Yet. But, hey, there’s always another decade, right? - My point is , it’s still my favorite guitar melody after so many years and so many other songs. I don’t know, but there is something about this one, it’s simple beauty. Thank you Mr. Mesnier!!!

And btw FM You are the best for linking your tabs! My respect and gratitute is yours :)

Dear Frédéric, This is one of the first videos I ever added to my Favourites almost 15 years ago. Merçi beaucoup for the beautiful music. Regards, Frank

Huzzah! Your delicate tune brightens these dark castle walls, on a day that rumor bears news of an attack from the North. Your six strings soothe me as no other, kind sir. A doubloon for your trouble!

me encanto !! que vivan los videos antiguos de youtube. saludos desde argentina

Votre musique, c'est comme un tableau de maitre, on apprécie les moindres détailles !

Of all your beautiful pieces this is my favourite. Has been for years now.

I find myself whistling the intro/outro to this piece while I'm at work.

Absolutely exceptionally stunning in every sense of those words. Beautiful.

I just spent 3 hours trying to re-find this video. I found this years and years ago and it still makes me tear up like the first time I watched it. You really are a fantastic musical artist and the amount of passion you clearly have makes my heart swell. I hope you continue to play on for many many many years!

Randomly thought of this video the other day, first time listening in 10 years and it’s still a banger, many thanks to you

Hail from pereira Colombia. I can fly with your magician guitar.

this was an amazing piece of art you've created my friend. I wish and dream to be as nice and skilled as you are one day.

I've come back frequently since I discovered this, just about 15 years ago. Still incredibly beautiful and lovely to listen to after all this time.

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you so much, you really have changed my life with your work. I've been following you since i have a youtube account. Greetings from Mexico.

god bless you, i got into guitar 1 because of you , you make the most beautiful music i can hear, straight form the roots of your heart. 2 weeks into my class, and i mastered deep waters and this one, and the rest id ont care about, because this type of music, is what i want to learn and love

I make my 2 months old nephew sleep, with this ....Ty Frederic, even babies love your music :)

You are the reason I started playing the guitar one year ago. The emotion and feeling you put in your play is fenominal. I can read the passion off your face. Tres bien!

Never gets old

This very video inspired me to learn fingerstyle 12 years ago. This song still makes me smile every time I listen to it.

I still listen to this. 2021.

I don't mean to be critical. Some people compose things that have so many repetitions or similar sounding parts that the piece sounds boring. I was really happy to find this piece which keeps things interesting all the way through! :)

I'm very grateful to a good person who showed me this great musician. Impossible to hear and not get excited. Brazil
