Chopin Fantaisie impromptu by Alexis de Compreignac

[stefanoisthebest]

he fingered a girl once and killed her...

[cindyrox12345]

do u play the piano?

[Alexisdc11]

@cindyrox12345 Yes i do, but I don't practise that much nowadays...

[PerfectPitch11]

better to make an acoustic cover.

[ornimuff]

Good technique but terrible sound.



[kornchetumare]

F*****G AWESOME!!! :D

[paycadd]

Compadre eres la mamada hermano! yo toco eso en piano pero eso es de satanas viejo felicidades eres la verga!

[coffeeflush]

Please make a video on your tapping technique

[Salamandrawoman]

Do u wanna be my boyfriend?? :D I´m a kind of pretty and hot :D

[raphaeljesussr2]

unbeliveable...

best guitarrist ever...

congrats...

i want that tabs...

XD...(and post more videos)

[Alexisdc11]

@raphaeljesussr2 Thanks!! Sorry I don't have tabs (don't even know if I would remember the fingerings right now...). Have you seen my other videos? I have many more! :)

[RunnerNoe]

In the Bumblefoot's version, the first notes are picked, but great playing though! Cheers

[guitarfanization]

nice job dude

[oilkills]

Shawn Lane does this without tapping!!! And then

welds it right into ERUPTION... without tapping!!!

Fantasie @ 1:33... Eruption @ 1:41... and the

Videos called: Shawn Lane with the Willys circa 1987

[DannyDaWiz]

Jesus alex how long did it take you to get this great at your tapping abilitys?

[Alexisdc11]

@DannyDaWiz Hi Danny! I don't remember exaclty how much time it took me to master the tapping techniques... I had to discover them by myself. In fact, you just need to understand the 2 or 3 ways to tap a string to master it quite quickly. It's not so difficult when you have the good technique. I'll make a video about this someday :)

[iloverock221]

AMAZING *_*

[Alexisdc11]

@iloverock221 Thank you :)

[BassicStorm]

dude u kick ass! really great!

[Alexisdc11]

@BassicStorm Thank you!! :)

[Govenorphatt]

So now i'll be spending the next few months learning and perfecting this so i can walk into a guitar shop and drop jaws.

[supergun666]

tab?

[Alexisdc11]

@supergun666 Sorry, I haven't made one.

[AwakeAtMidnight]

The song just started and my face is: DDDDDDDDDDDDD:

The song its in the half: I just died

The song ends: I reborn o_o

[Alexisdc11]

@AwakeAtMidnight Wow! Thank you so much! If you liked this one, then you could check my transcription of the 4th chopin etude too :)

[AwakeAtMidnight]

@Alexisdc11 dude! that was just fucking sick XD i loved it!!! Chopin is my favorite classical music player, he actually knew how to free all his feelings in piano and you completely bring that music to life

[beneaththeairwaves]

that was actually good. but you should have used a less distorted effect.

[jordankuprij]

wow...im learning this song on piano and i dont know this song this well....but ill nail it..dont worry...cheers!! :)

[Alexisdc11]

@jordankuprij I'm sure you will nail it. It's not so difficult on the piano. Cheers :)

[LinkBulletBill]

@Alexisdc11

hah... not so difficult on piano??

Well I'm sure it is much easier on guitar than piano.

It is a difficult song especially on piano.

On guitar you're only playing the right-hand part, which obviously would be easier on guitar with tapping.

[Alexisdc11]

@LinkBulletBill Mmm... Are you a pianist yourself? It's true that I played only the right hand part here but you must not forget that this piece was written for the piano. I also play the piano and I can play the Fantaisie Impromptu on both the guitar and the piano. I'm not saying it's easy on the piano but actually, it's not as difficult as it seems. If you want something really difficult on the piano, try to play lizst concertos or chopin or Rachmaninov etudes. It's another level.

[LinkBulletBill]

@Alexisdc11

well yes, I am studying the works of classical music on piano. true it doesn't seem difficult, but it is difficult to get perfectly, and to get the accents, and etc.

[drone713]

@Alexisdc11 I guess you could say it's not difficult to play it POORLY on the piano.

[Alexisdc11]

@drone713 ...And I guess I could say that you should pay more attention to the 6 pages of comments on your profile...

[drone713]

@Alexisdc11 And why do you say that?

[Alexisdc11]

@drone713 Just read the comments on your own channel carefully... 

[drone713]

@Alexisdc11 What's your point?

[KRxHigh3rxPow3r]

that was sick, got any tabs?

[Alexisdc11]

@KRxHigh3rxPow3r Thank you! no sorry, I don't have the tab.

[y7u7r7i]

very nice!!



[Alexisdc11]

@y7u7r7i Thanks :)

[D3v1ance]

5 people hurt themselves trying to imitate this beast of a song.

[RisikoBass]

Bravissimo!!!!!

[Alexisdc11]

@RisikoBass Thanks! :)

[RayHalen]

that was epic, and pretty much perfect. did you learn it from a tab, or make your own arrangement?

[Alexisdc11]

@RayHalen Hi! Thank you! I made my own arrangement :) I used the score to decide what I was going to play and what would be done by the (synthetic) piano. I wrote on Finale (music editing software) the arraneged piano score and managed to find fingerings for my guitar parts. It was quite a big work but I'm proud of it :)

[robostomo1]

everyone else noticed how long those fingers are,too...right? o_o

[rohanep]

even though thats AMAZING guitar playing i think it sounds better on the piano... :/

[Alexisdc11]

@rohanep Thanks for the comment! And don't worry, I'm the first to think that it sounds better on piano. This transcription was mainly a guitar playing challenge (altghough I'm still trying to do music...)

[kiritanimirei48]

woooooooooooooooooow !!!!!

[SweeetPicker]

Excellent boulot !

Tu n'as pas grand chose à envier à la version de bumblefoot : )

[Alexisdc11]

@SweeetPicker Merci beaucoup :)

[DavidBurt89]

this is so awful it hurts.

[dooshyfaka]

this dickhead cant even keep a beat

one of the best my ass

[rlnilson]

Um... All I can say is: Nom Nom Nom

[dnbrz83]

one of the best stuff here

[Alexisdc11]

@dnbrz83 Thanks! :)

[rhesaccc]

@kaleb1088 then have mercy on us, o great music student. show us whether you can play this, bitch

[Holystewe]

Amazing

[guisurf87]

wow! You´re awesome

[kaleb1088]

you suck dude im a music student and let tell your not good ... you made of this master piece a crappy peace. please dont play this again have mercy on us... it sucks dude honestly.

[tifreire1]

@kaleb1088 You are a douche amigo. Get over yourself. I would think such a scholarly "music student" would have better syntax. It looks like you have much more to learn.

[o0Slipdisc0o]

@kaleb1088 Wow, you must be be the biggest jealous bitch I ve ever seen on u-tube. Thank you for showing us how much this video confronted you with your shortcomings....

[Zacquads]

That was unbelievable! Nice work

[Alexisdc11]

@Zacquads Thanks! :)

[spesalfred]

look at his fingers, theyre perfect for guitar playing - long skinny and quick

[croix1957]

Good job man, very clean!

[Alexisdc11]

@croix1957 Thanks :)

[MrFffffuuuuu]

You. are. a. GOD.

@_@

[Alexisdc11]

@MrFffffuuuuu At least! :p Thanks anyway :)

[tal94k]

wow thats cool :P

[linkhackerneo]

awesome

[idoeylon]

WOW

[scarycrystal]

awesome

[FAh1en]

Hey man! First, that was awesome!!

I am going to try it out, but I just wonder, how long did it take for you to learn it? =P

take care.

[Alexisdc11]

@FAh1en Don't really remember. I think it took me about one or two week to be able to play it good :)

[KUKO23]

is there a tab for this?!?!?......it be awesome to find one?

[Alexisdc11]

Nope, i'm sorry. I found my own fingerings but haven't put them on a tab. Try to watch the videos of Bumblefoot at young guitar. He explains how to play it :)

[1234567890rosy]

I was totally blown away when i heard you play itt.... awesome

[Alexisdc11]

Thanks! I feel really honored and humbled by all these kind comments I receive!... :)

[JaimeMano91]

oh my god! incredible!

[JCE0043]

Very cool. Looks hard. I'm trying to do something similar with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 3rd Movement right now, but the timing on this looks a little tougher.

[td0407]

Hey man you did a great job!Congratulations!!And you don't use a damper which makes things a lot harder.You seem very young, how old are you?? Actually you inspired me to play this myself! Im studying it right now!! Cheers!

[Alexisdc11]

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I was probably 17 or 18 when I recorded this one.

Cheers

[RedrumMetalNYC]

Is this Bumblefoot's arrangement?

[Alexisdc11]

It sure is inspired by bumblefoot's version, but this is my fingering.

[misakiloveless031]

Brilliant simply brilliant, do not have words to say it fabulous that you salio such a complicated melody.

I congratulate you you salio wonderfully

[Alexisdc11]

Thank you ! Check my transcription of chopin etude 4 op 10 if you liked this one :)

[Alexisdc11]

Thanks. If you liked it, then tell everyone you know to watch it ;)

And yes I do play the piano. Btw, I am seriously thinking of recording the Fantaisie Impromptu on piano soon.

[tnf1986]

yeah, i did share this video through the facebook. personally, i think urs is cooler cos it still contains the feeling of the original piano version. wow, there are many good pianists for this piece,y not upload it s soon s u think u r better than most of the moderate ones?i'm really looking forward towards u playing it real well.

[zxcvmjg]

wow nuce guitar

[tenglee2]

omg?!!!

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[LordMongoose13]

Hé homme emploi agréable. Essayez de rabattre l'augmentation ou rouler du ton un morceau faible. Autrement il a été vraiment bien fait.

[sliq1]

holy sh*t.... that was awesome!

[CleverDjembe]

Respect, man, that was tight!!

[EvHstyleTaPMaster]

that tapped out chromatic scale at 0:49

Brilliant!!!!! excellent job dude,

[1193joao]

[SoldierSid3]

C'est franchement brillant, rien à redire, une vraie leçon de guitare =)

[VOCIFERLOL]

[ZonderZout]

Wow, that's some damn fine guitar playing there dude. Keep it up!

[AsiaWorldwide]

O.O this rulezz.... you are so talented!!!! you can play guitar like this... and I can't even play it on the piano T.T btw nice hair ^.^

[TheSkudut]

wow!!! its awsome.. i only juz can play canon rock by jerry c.. uhu..

[simonc55]

outstanding. did not expect nearly this much accuracy or technical expertise. bravo

[abcokcba]

Cool

[Poolhacks]

So I'm a pianoist and a guitar, and for the last ten minutes I've been sitting here wishing I could play this piece on piano... Uhh yeah I'm pretty impressed

[RMVAB]

Awesome! Congrats! How old are you?

[Alexisdc11]

Thanks ! I'm 18. But most of my videos have been recorded more than one year ago.

[RMVAB]

I can play that song too... but on the piano!

[Alexisdc11]

I can too ;) I'll record it on piano someday.

[RMVAB]

Check mine and tell me what you think... I've almost taken the entire song by ear, so I might have missed a few notes here and there...

[jaytonbye]

nasty

[Alexisdc11]

Thanks to everyone for positive comments. If you liked this video, I'd advice you to check my transcription of the 4th etude op 10 :)

[dmangtr]

Wow you're an awesome guitarist. Very clean tapping.

[darth22790]

*bows down in awe* you are god...or the closest thing to it. Hope im that good one day.

[Alexisdc11]

Muahaha ;D Thank you but I'm certainly not a god :) Or anyway don't tell me this because my head could start to swell and then I could not increase my playing anymore...

[ilovekbo]

very very cool dude

[princessandgoblin]

wow this is pretty sweet yo

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

Fucking amazing. It could be cleaner...where can I find tabs for it?

[Alexisdc11]

Thanks. I think you can find the tab on the internet. At least for the piano part. But I changed some fingerings for my own version.

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

Lol yeah dude. I've actually found a PDF tab for it. it's a killer piece.

Which guitar is that? and what gear rae u using?

[Alexisdc11]

:) My guitar is a custom made model that my friend Charles-Antoine Cargill created for me. It's a really great guitar! And for the gear i'm using : When recording videos, the sound comes from my toneport UX8. I also have a little Mesa/Boogie amp but Toneport is really handier to record videos and demos.

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

Wow dude! So young and you've already got your own custom model! :O..It's a sweet guitar. I like the tone.

[hobbesismycat]

Dude you NEED to make make more videos! You are an amazing guitarist!

[Alexisdc11]

Thank you! I have two videos ideas that I think I will record soon. A Bumblefoot one and a Sonata Arctica one :)

[brunoorna]

magnific, muito bom, quem sabe um dia existir até lá eu esteje assim...

parabéns

[xxxguitargodxxx1989]

Thank you for doing a good job. These other dick-beaters who post their half-assed, sloppy videos up are just waisting my time, as well as their own.

[dnbrz83]

incredible, man!!!

you´re very fast!! amazing

[xartez]

Incroyable ! super performance, bravo !

[wasanga456]

love the part at 0:50

[wasanga456]

wow!

[xavierfux]

Oh, j'allais oublier, j'espère que tu iras loin dans ta passion, j'ai cru comprendre que tu voulais composer de la musique de jeux-vidéo? Je sais pas ce que valent tes compos persos mais avec ton niveau technique ça te retirera déjà une sacrée épine du pied. :)

[xavierfux]

T'es impressionnant de maîtrise Alexis, j'imagine même pas le niveau que tu auras dans quelques années, étant donné que tu as déjà un niveau très élevé à l'heure actuelle (pour couvrir du Symphony X faut être balèze, pareil pour SA).

Au fait, à quand un Sea of Lies ou Of Sins and Shadows? Weballergy??? :P

[Alexisdc11]

Merci pour le commentaire :)

Oui j'avais pensé a enregistrer un ou deux solos connus de SX... sea of lies, of sins and shadows ou smoke and mirrors par exemple. faurdait juste que je les retravailles un peu.

sinon je suppose que tu as du tomber sur mon blog ?

(faudra vraiment que je pense a m'en occuper de ce pauvre blog)

sinon oui je ne fais pas que de la guitare dans la vie. j' uploaderai bientôt quelques unes de mes compos (de divers styles) sur mon blog je pense :)

[xavierfux]

Oui je suis tombé sur ton blog il y a quelques semaines, pas mal mal vide lol. J'ai hâte de voir ce que tu sais faire niveau compos, mais je m'attend à du bon. :)

Et vivement une nouvelle cover aussi. :)

[fuckingAK47]

very nice as usual
