Shaun, I met you 15 years ago when you were busking at 1st street station in Rehoboth beach Delaware. I was 10 years old, you were playing out front of my parents store studios S. You blew all of our minds, even mine at 10 and i had not picked up an instrument yet. Fast forward in 27 now and been playing and studying music for a couple years now. Your name still gets passed around, thinking back to that special summer…. I hope our paths cross again. Wish you the best man ❤

Thank you so much, brother! I actually didn't write either piece.. The first is a traditional Irish piece called "Merrily Kissed the Quakers Wife" that I learned from Sam Pacetti. Amazing guitarist!!! :) and the second was written by Andy Mckee, very innovative player! :)

Hey Blake! Thank you for this comment!! I'm glad you enjoy my guitar playing :) I try my best to respond to everyone because they have invested time in writing me so it just seems like the right thing to do. Thanks again, bro!

can someone help me find my jaw? I dropped it over here somewhere.

Every day this is not on Spotify, my mind deteriorates

I never thought I'd hear an Irish jig sound like this.Brilliant.Well done.

Not only are you an incredible guitarist, but you seem to have a great attitude. You're about the only famous youtuber that actually comments back to his fans! Which is awesome. You're an inspiration bro, so keep it up!

Straight up MASTER of acoustic

me and my dad have just sat and watched this, im an acustic artist myself and my dad is the drummer for dragonforce a very fast prog,metal band and even he was shocked at your speed, your a true insparation for me that the sky is the limit, peace

Been listening to you since I met you in Charlotte with Tim, your music is a mainstay in our family, a sweet haunting of when my wife and I fell in love, and a whisper of the places we've been both emotionally and physically. Truly a poet in a commercial world, stay with it my friend.

Sean hopper the world peace prize for this awesomeness

merrily kissed the quaker the tune is called. Pierre Bensusan arranged it first for guitar, he took it from a Planxty album.

A tune I've been playing for years on my bouzouki. But after hearing this I feel like giving up. Bloody marvellous !

I'm surprised that no one has reacted to this piece so far on YT.

Wow. Only 11 years late to this. Amazing playing. Inspirational.

What a pleasure to see and hear. Reaches my soul - I have this tune in my heart being an O'Brien. I play a few basic guitar chords but I have Parkinsin's and am a bit slow in some fingers. Rock on Shaun.

That is outstanding. If I had one penny of his talent…

this is nothing short of amazing i just started playing at60 and i am awe inspired at this

I love this song!! Amazing guitarist! I could listen to this everyday all day so beautiful and enchanting.

My son is learning this now, thank you for the inspiration - your smile is precious I just love our Irish heritage

I commented previously how much awesome Shaun is, but once I learned the actual name of the tune, Merrily Kissed the Quaker , and searched for other versions, this version is the very best. That driving alternating bass line is so killer.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! :)

Thank you so very much!!

I’m floored. Every time I thought I had a grip on this thing you added some new technique that impressed me even more. I’m sad it took me this long to find this. Great sound on that Maton too!!

WOW. What a talent. What a SOUND.

so cool!!!

FANTASTIC

Shaun, you are one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen please keep to up. I love this style simply because of this video!

Incredible.

There are many artists out there in the world, but a rare, select few are what I'd classify as elite craftsman. You, sir, are a craftsman. You know your craft well and it truly shows. It's a joy to watch you play. Thank you for recording this and sharing it. It was truly a gift.
