Love this song! Has special meaning too. My grandfather loved this song, and at his funeral recently, upon request on his deathbed, my cousin played this as a tribute. Now, my cousin belongs to a grunge, heavy-metal band and he is anti-everything my grandfather believed in. But to our surprise, he showed up with an acoustic guitar and played this tune sounding a lot like Mason Williams would have played it. It was beautiful. My grandmother broke down in tears as her grandson did this… amazing moment for us all. Thanks cuz.
Thank God for Classical Gas ! Bravo ! Who has the Spirit to write a song as great as this or any other in this dead age of music or at least "commercialize" the great things being played now and not…Cardi B !!!
I'll never forget when my brother and I were in High School, stopping by Mike Wait's house to hear this new 33 1/3 vinyl album by Mason Williams that he was dying to show us. The whole side was just this song, "Classical Gas." Mike turned the record over and the only thing on the whole other approximately 30 minute side was Mason Williams saying "The Mason Williams Phonograph Record, Uh-huh" and nothing else. Back then, that in itself was a real trip too!
I got the sheet music for this (which was true to the record for a change). I mastered it after a few days, the chords are not complicated.the hard part is the tempo-it's fast man.CH
born in 63, idolize 60s and 70s music, but what a pleasant trip this classic song is for us late trippers and those to the present. Thank you, Mason. One of my favorite acoustic tunes, all guitarists respect this.
Years ago, I heard a performance of the song "Of Time And River Running" written by Williams to the Praetorius Hymn. I was struck by its beauty and wrote him a letter asking if our church choir could perform it and whether he'd done an SATB arrangement. Two weeks later, i received a nice personal letter from him in a package containing thirty copies of the SATB arrangement. A great artist and a very generous man!
Amazing amount of music he creates with the guitar, yet he is hardly moving. I have seen others play this song and they are often playing furiously to attempt to make as much music. Such talent. Tony Z
I always loved this song! The only thing I didn’t care for was the title. When you speak of gas, it always reminds me of flatulence, which is a turnoff.
This is THE BEST version of Classical Gas!
Such a master piece, really love this music, so soothing to hear

This song always makes the hair on my arms and neck stand. I can never get tired of listening to it!!
If you were alive in the Summer of 68,you know what it means

When that most fiery of orbs tops the horizon on the marrow, with it’s first rays of brilliant light, think of this.
It is our gift of life.
Morning has broken, as the first morning,,, ?????
NOW, if YouTube would just pay the proper royalties on this it would fantastic!!!!!

Look at that cravat tho…
Great song to learn when starting out classical before you jump into segovia and tarrega and all that craziness.
It is so rare in life to witness an absolute master of his or her craft. Perfection. This is one of those moments caught on film.
I love this song so very much. How the acoustsic guitar intermixes with the wind instruments. Its so beautiful.

Wow, just brilliant.
In my travels, I’ve only come across 1 guitarist who can replicate this.

This is both a piece of amazing music and a fragment of our collective musical history ?
Great song. Great arrangement. Would to God to go back to those days.
Eargasm
One of the best aucust po records of the sixties. ??
Now do classical gas…

Damn! Look at that dude's fingernails! That's nasty.
