Default My arrangement of Hallelujah

Hey fellow guitarists,
Would like to share with you all my arrangement of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah.
I play this with the guitars E string tuned down to C. It takes a while till it stabilises but makes a lovely warm tone.

Watch it here

For some reason I can't embed the video but it works in the link above

Enjoy
Mark

Rarely listen to instrumental pieces, but happen to really like this song. Very nicely done, Mark. Congrats.

Very nice Mark, my favorite Cohen song. You really capture the melody beautifully as an instrumental, your playing is clean and timing impeccable with harmonics and other flourishes. I sing this with the simple open chord arpeggio version, but you have inspired me to add an instrumental section... and to break out my flamenco blanco... on some songs, nylon is "right".

I really enjoyed your recording, nice audio edit, but I would make one request... I would have liked the video better if the camera was widened a bit, and angle changed a bit, to see both of your hands in the frame for the whole piece.
