This is pure emotion, making the guitar sing.

Ladies and gentlemen- the importance of developing tone and not just "riffs and sick chords" Wonderful playing

Mariah Carey did a cover a on this song

I've been watching this for 4 years and every time it hits like I've never heard it before. Just incredible ❤🙏🏽

Never stop...

you are absolutely incredible!!! please don't ever stop!

Im convinced god gon hire you to play as people enter the gates of heaven, it’s only right😩

I’ve never had the urge to learn an instrument until i discovered you. Makes me want to learn for real. Brings chills to my spine

I seriously appreciate the the way you use vibrato, slides, and hammer-ons/offs in your playing... the attention you give to particular notes captures emotion really well, and because of it, it feels like your sound is nearly tangible. idk if that makes any sense lmao, but you really inspire me to practice more. You're seriously my hero

3:42 got me hollering go get it gurl!

It's the notes that aren't played, the breathing allowed for the backing, the perfect note choices that are. What beautiful playing.

A cover of slipping away would be everythingggg

Finally don’t have to keep replaying instagram videos! 😂❤️ love all the way from London

from the slight bends to that walk down the harmonic minor, the octave jabs, and the sliding, this was reaaaaally good on the ears. i love your work melanie!!

I cant even cross my legs 😭 let alone play guitar 🎸😭

I listen to this cover religiously every week. I think I’m going to finally learn it

You're just beautiful in every way. The soul you have shows in the way you play. Beautiful

The solid technique and a seemingly effortless fluidity of timing put you among the top tier of guitarists on KZfaq. What sets you apart is an obviously genuine heart for what you want to say with your instrument, and an incredible ear that makes the listener’s journey with you very interesting.

I found her after John Mayer said that she blew him away with her playing.

Discovering you today was prolly the best Christmas gift I could ask for

Sometimes when Im sad, or feeling stressed about the things happening in my daily life I watch this video and everything is well for a while.

Her music makes me feel like everything’s gonna be okay

STILL returning to this one.

Why did this bring me to tears 😭 absolutely beautiful

I could listen to her play all day. Candles and whine with her beautiful renditions in the background. I’d like to dedicate this to genesis

Goddess! On the Stevie Wonder scale of ten where a ten means I’ve broken down in tears, weeping like I’m ten and I’ve just tasted ice cream for the first time despite hearing about it, you’re an eight-on the Stevie Wonder scale!! You are the best flavor of Stevie Wonder ice cream. More seriously, I’ve played the sax since I was a child. Berklee Scholarship. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I can go over the reasons I never found my musicianship like you have, but I’m giving it another go, on guitar. So I’ve been researching, listening, ready to do it right this time round. But mostly I just want to enjoy it, even if I just play alone. So I see you here, playing alone, but for this audience, for me, and I’ve learned from it. Play for myself, and play for others.

I love that Rock Strum technique at times that loud kinda distorted high pitch ends

I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me be right 'Cause I've drowned in you And I won't pull through Without you by my side I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight

My goodness, this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard in my life. PLEASE, don’t stop making music.

Why do I feel like this song puts me in a trance every time i hear it? Like I'll watch it, and then I'll have to keep watching it until I'm satisfied...

I’ve played guitar for 25 years, never have I feel so inspired as by Melanie. ive been brought to tears more than once by this performance. This amazing young woman, the late nite hours of practice, the poster on the wall, intimacy with the universe... brings me memories of my youth. Thank you for being so intensely yourself 😢😊

00:35 God 😍

You captured Mariahs melisma in your playing and I’m just never not blown away by this
