Gigue and Double BWV 997 J.S. Bach

[Aaarrrggghhification]

I can only play the double :( but amazin dude well playd

[DumblyDorr]

Very nice - not 100 % perfect, but who could or would expect that for a piece that is seemingly so easy yet so hard to get right in terms of dynamics and timbre. And concerning those, I really like your interpretation - the agogic as well.

I would love to hear your interpretation of the Gigue from BWV 996 - IMHO one of the hardest pieces from Bach. Oh, while you're at it - how about a recordings of Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Cappricio Diabolico and Rodrigo's Invocation y Danza? :)

[craigalake]

@DumblyDorr Thanks! If you look through my videos you'll find Bouree and Gigue bwv996 and the passagio and presto in a separate vid. I'm also currently learning Cap Diabolico so should put up a vid soon. No intention to learn Invocacion at this stage. I need to work on my tremolo before I tackle that.

[shreivox]

bravo!

[JohnnieNaked]

Really good. Your gliss' is amazing.

[StopTheMoti0n]

my favorite piece from the lute suites :)

[darthguitar]

Nice,

Sounds like Frank Koonce's edition

[craigalake]

Jerry Willard

[darthguitar]

Yup - I noticed the arrangement of double is quite different

[Vreci]

Very beautiful with clear voices!

I like Bach but it is really hard to play Bach flawless like you ! Great, my friend!

best regards,

wolfgang

[gvalderrama]

just amazing

[Tripoodo]

where can i get the sheet music for this?

[Ectorius]

a music store?

[AdnanCucak]

this version is really good, the start is great

[xXColourFullXx]

I love this piece, you play it whit such emotions. I love it.

Im a musician to, but a singer, I would like to at the least learn the basics of guitar, because i love the sound that it makes, but music school is very hard and i dont have time :(..

[Ibby1550]

Impressive! I've been a Rock player for almost a decade, and I'm always stunned by the greats of "my" genre. But watching players like you performing pieces like this is breathtaking; the dynamics, the timing, the flowing fingerpicking. Everything just fits so precisely. So different from playing some Deep Purple on a Strat and an overdriven amp!

I'm really impressed. Shamefully I'm ignorant about classical guitar. But if it's worth anything, congratulations! Your playing is truly inspiring.

[craigalake]

Thanks! If you like classical but don't know much check out these players: Andres Segovia, John Williams, Julian Bream, Pavel Steidl. They all have videos on youtube.

[mozarthendrix]

@craigalake Yep Andres Segovia inspired me to stop playing metal and take it up a notch :) Truly amazing musicians they are.

[annabananaskatana123]

Youre an incredible player! im doing this piece for my grade 8 and you inspire me

[craigalake]

Thanks! Good luck with the exam.

[birdiejoehoaks]

im a pretty competent guitar player, but im relatively new to classical guitar...

what would be a good piece for me to start with?

[Vivace214]

Classical... sorry, can't think. What style did you play before?

[birdiejoehoaks]

blues, alt country, jazz... a bit of everything

[Vivace214]

I'd try something at about Grade 6.

If you've already got the basics of guitar... Still, Classical is very different to other styles. Can you read music?

[jbdoggy]

Nice!! Looking forward to more bach from you.

[lecheparavaka]

I like your playing

[greendeath42]

Absolutely amazing. I'll have to study up on this video. You did a great job and thanks again for the information.

[craigalake]

Thanks! Your welcome.

[tombstone909]

watch the chris broderick ver of this

[craigalake]

Yes, I have, and...?

[tombstone909]

i thought it was pretty good

[craigalake]

He's a great metal player but his classical is pretty rough. Not my taste. All he does is play the notes and the video stops before the difficult bit (4:15 onwards on my vid) which makes me wonder.

[60moo]

craigalake - Your playing is full of expression, and is musically superior in every way.

[craigalake]

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

[Ji0X]

Awesome! I like your playing.

Very clear and emotional.

Your trills are also well played.

Keep it up.

[Vivace214]

Ditto.

[tontonRico71]

Great !!!

Good playing

[sophieye]

Love your playing. :]

[654321654321]

[Bigevilcrow]
