Michael Chapdelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres; the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championships at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield , Kansas. From New York's Lincoln Center to the Cactus Cafe in Austin, from Milano to Bangkok, Michael continues to enchant, dazzle and surprise audiences and critics alike as he redefines the modern acoustic guitar with his amazing technique, "soulful" expressiveness, and versatility as a performer, composer and arranger/producer. His performances, played on both steel string and classical guitars, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to rhythm n' blues as he wins his audiences hearts with breath taking technique and the poetic magic of his original musical portraits and landscapes.
In the 80's and 90's Michael proved himself to be one of the world's finest classical guitarists; twice winning the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant, and taking First Prize in both the Guitar Foundation of America's and the Music Teachers National Association's Guitar Competitions. He also won the Silver Medal in Venezuela's VIII Concurso International de Guitarra "Alirio Diaz". He has toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc., and various arts promotion organizations.
In 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD, (now re-released as "Mexico"), which many critics and connoisseurs of classical guitar consider to be one of the definitive recordings for the instrument. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote "... if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings, this one would be among my choices...I have seldom heard a more beautiful album. Other young guitarists have excellent technique, but few have such style and musicality, and Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall." In 1994 Michael turned his attention to pop music, in arranging, producing and recording Time-Life Music's beautiful Guitar by Moonlight collection (also released as "with love"), which sold 250,000 copies in it's first two years in the stores. In 1998, he once again, expanded his musical range and gained instant notoriety and credibility in the "acoustic music" world as a "fingerstyle" guitarist and composer, by winning the National Fingerpicking Championships at Winfield.
Michael is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico, and has previously been on the faculties of the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University. He has given master classes throughout the world including, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Venezuela, Taiwan, Indonesia and at institutions such as, University of Miami, Mannes School of Music, University of Texas, and California State University. His teachers included the great Spanish maestro Andres Segovia.

Genius. It's almost as if the guitar sings the very words.
Had to fav this, it's nice to see one of my ex- pupils doing well, lol :)
WOW!!
muy bacano felicitaciones
virtuoso master
You can order his arrangements from his website. I find them very challenging as they use techniques that are new to me. I find I must do some simplification. He makes it look easy as he is a master (national fingerstyle champ, and classical champ). University of NM must have a killer guitar program!
yes it is jackblu, good ear. I love this arrangement, his California Dreaming is probably one of the best guitar arrangements I have ever heard, or ever will here.
Killer....gifted ...Virtuoso
holy fucking crap. that was so awesome
Sick..
good job, some people really speak without any knowledge.
how can 111 people dont like this?!
So Good he's a god!
toooooo muchhhhh bro
perfect
Nice, you can share it now. Tell us when you update it. XD
..WOW..
the only dude i´ve ever seen doing a slide solo, with chords O.o
Michael...awesome dude! I did a reggae version to this song...one of my top 5 favs. Wondering if you can do anything different to it in a reggae style...thanks!
That guy is musical
Yes it is
tremendo
godlike
sweet
one of the best covers ive heard, i still love Micheal Hedges version more though :)
totally fuckin awesome!!!!!!!!!1
I actually met him when I was in 10th grade.
one man one guitar no FX and it is not to impress but to entertain. I saw him in concert. He is a classical guitarist just having some fun with an old song. You should checkout his web site.
especially from 2:20 it gets really amazing.
yeah and the speed he taps at ...
Try it! and put it on the tube.
Ido bumisita ako sana maibalik good music love it salamat
My goal in life :)
fuckin right. that's awesome. i wish i could play guitar.
curti...
Thanks, I wasn't aware people took such offence to someone elses opinion.
Always nice to know that us guitarists aren't allowed to do anything different. I guess you'd be happy if we all played open chords and started by saying "a one, a two, a one, two three four..." lol Anyway, acoustic guitar has been a percussion instrument as long as people have been playing; tapping on the soundhole, etc... listen to More Than Words, for example... The percussion MADE the song...
oO!!!
This is so good . Genius make`s me want to burn my guitars .
@pettah93 he didnt write it it was orignaly done by the beatles
fucking incredible
it does...
