Toccata and Fugue in D minor on an electric guitar

[RichiePoo28]

AWESOME!!!!

[SlipknotFreak0815]

i have got the exact same lamp standing right next to me in this moment xDDD

btw nice playing... but to much overdrive in the chords i think

[keevre]

This is so fucking Awesome

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Again, as with other versions of this on electric guitar, less reverb and volume is required. More consistent timing.

[dextor314]

Nice job, good energy about this interpretation, I like very much.

[leatherjck]

nice but the time was just a bit off

[apaloosa01]

Bach rocks!

[Ramaznaz]

Actually, there is a part of the fugue in the video...

[UndefeatableTwilight]

It's awesome how, in that entire Afrikaans sentence, only one word sounded different to English.

"En dit is 'n plastic padda."

[morbidgod]

Hey man, fuck all these people that are talking shit... you and this other guy i've seen doing this song are the only good posts on here just about.

[8888Luter]

Fucking sucking

[8888Luter]

lol

[classicalmannick101]

headbanging to bach.....eeeeeh yeah noooo.

[blackeyed1230]

you suck.

[Obeijin]

Jimi Hendrix would be proud of you...

[phantomlucretia]

lol.. an that is a plastic frog.. for those wondering what he said :) goed gespeel boet.. groete van engeland af!

[gtardoriffic]

fucking epic

[Willy1093]

there are parts that are a... shit. sorry, but it's true. even so, you play very good this song

[psychobugler]

Thank God. You actually did it in D Minor.

[Chefodeath]

whys that matter? Equal temperement dictates it'll sound just about the same in any minor key.

[psychobugler]

It always matters, my friend, and no it does no sound the same. It would be in a different key. It's also Toccata and Fugue in D minor and so it should also be played in D minor, because the song is called Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

[MOLRobocop]

Awesome.

[alexnobody1]

There were a number of parts that were played WAY faster than needed, but the parts that I COULD hear were awesome!

[WheaalMoa3n]

1:06 was exactally what I was looking for.

[frosty92314]

Bach can rock!

[fusetheband]

this is frickin amazing. and im going to tell u that adding some pinch harmonics would add a lot. but keep it up.

[MasterNobodyD3]

too much distortion and a little too much liberty taken i think... can't really do that with Bach. But very good job, very impressive

[88mphsss]

this song is so fucking creepy and i just love your version also man!

[SpotNote]

nice but there definetly is better! keep playin tho :)

[fatcat363]

naaa not that good too much distortion and so it sounds gay metal homosexually

[videogamefreak123]

are you saying metal is gay

[VortexGenie]

your "Afrikaans" sounds a little Dutch =P

South Africa? ayways best performance of Tocata and Fugue on guitar so far!

[JepHanz]

Whoa this is seriously the best rock version ive seen of this piece so far! Good job man!

[Randyo16]

I accidentally clicked on this link after listening to a classical version and I decided to log into youtube for the first time in over two years to comment. You really need to turn down you gain dial and take a plasma welder and melt the knobs off your amp. You definitely have enough skill to play this, but you have no taste. Please stop ruining this song and remove it.

[boogerhaze93]

It isn't a lack of taste, it is different taste. I like the classical version and this one, the classical one is more ominous though =P. You did nobody a favor by logging on to just be rude to this man. Oh and to the player, you have some amazing skills.

[Darkuillity]

your guitar sound is good!

nice perform, pls add beat or background music!

[Alpia]

very nice after going thru other versions that are played with no passion so boooring and plain...

[TheRealEricLester]

nice

[lullylewj]

yeah yeah so its not really toccata & fuge, still an alright level of playin, ive the guy a break y'all.

[Red0Stratrock]

and the fugue??

[IGOLDBERGI]

You fucking suck you stupid son of a bitch. And next time, don't name a video something that it isn't. This is just the Toccata. Mother fucking faggot.

[conraydo]

i think he didn't know better.

[weridoman69]

clam down man lol

[orkiwutz]

open your eyes and read what he's saying: ''A free interpretation of Bach's original piece of music for the organ. The language I'm speaking at the end of the clip is called Afrikaans.'' do you understand it?

[Cinatas666]

Jesus christ.

Calm the fuck down

[AznS0ulja]

very nice ! we ran in music today nice cover !

[chafa666]

alguien tiene la TAB??¿?¿?¿?¿¿?¿?¿?¿?

[kamcbk3]

no fugue!!!!!!!

[3sx]

buahahaaha wtf is that?

[KevinH2294]

wat happened to fugue?

[alexwilsonNC]

Was looking forward to seeing you try "Fugue". But oh well.

[medra1980]

ever heard of a dictionary? lol Dude it's cool keep practicing ok cheers

[medra1980]

the video's caption says "Toccata and FUGUE" Sherlock

[medra1980]

and you were playing toccata the whole time, never fugue

[armchaircriticTV]

tastefully done!

[superman737373]

Ive also got a CortX2 and would love to be able to play that! well done!

[zuckergoscherl96]

ahh!! amazing!! :)

[fillfucker]

which guitar is that?thanx

[theclash06013]

True, but playing the fastest guitar part on a violin isn't nearly as hard as playing the fastest violin part on guitar

[figaro001]

i think ur wrong.

[jm2cloud]

no, that's right. the violin uses a bowing action, which makes it easier to run off a fast series of notes. on the guitar, you have to strum to hit each note individually, so to play a violin piece you have to takes all the half chords and individuals and run them together a little.

but to play a guitar piece on a violin, you just have to hit the frets fast enough to keep up with the bow.

[figaro001]

but on violin u don't even have frets, it's a lot harder to make clean sound, the trick is to hit the string accurately, and that's hard. I bet u haven't played violin. : )

[jm2cloud]

LOL, you'd win that bet! Sorry, i can be a pompous ass sometimes. Have to keep reminding myself to put "in my opinion" in front of some of these comments.

Thanks for telling me that, i'll remember it for the future

[r3dfiv3]

I'm a shitty guitar player (I'm a drummer!) but I've always wanted to try that.

Gratz on doin' it :))

[if65group]

so cool, so impressive. u a skilled man.

[jrssjdca]

I can/could see a metal band get off on this piece. It's got a ton of energy.

[MercenaryX21]

It's so hard to find new ways to adapt old classics like that. But this one Bach piece works so well with the Shredder here, it's one of those really hard songs. Almost dragonforce Guitar Hero 3 level here.

[vampreen12356]

wow ur comparing this to dforce wow dforce sucks the farts out of mj (the singer) ass god dam lol this is so much harder than tard dforce god...............

[StewieSwan]

You're fucking stupid.

This is nowhere near as hard as dragonforce is. Just because you don't like DF doesn't make their material easy to play.

[vampreen12356]

lol dragone force suck's dick really they do they are good in studio but live omg omg omg way bad every one that's like 1000 people say they suck did and have seen them live and liked them then did not cause they suck dick..........

[COBalexiCOB]

Alright stupid shit. Dragonforce admits to recording slower in the studio than their music comes out to be. Second of all. Look up rusty cooley. Third look up michael angelo batio. Fourth look up about 100 neoclassical guitarists and they kick herman li's ass. Because dragonforce isnt anything special. I kill dragonforce and im 18. Then again I probably play more than herman li because hes only in it for the money.

[StewieSwan]

Alright stupid shit, wanna get a source for that ignorant claim?

Or shall I get you some footage of them in the studio recording solos?

Secondly, Dragonforce isn't neoclassical, so I don't see why you brough that style into this?

[ThrDthPwrPrg]

Well I don't know where you got this idea that Dragonforce records at 85% and I could be wrong, they do. But when I saw them live back in 2004 before most people even knew who they were... They definately can play that fast. And before you talk anymore shit, let's see some of this awesome ability.

Fag. Seriously. Kill yourself.

[cigoke]

I saw them at leeds uni, its all effects, I used to love them until I saw that...

[direngrey4569]

DF's guitarists are very sloppy, i've seen them play alongside the best, vai, satch, freidman etc. Li can't compare.

[Jbamski]

you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ludinhavi]

Wow... Bravo. I believe it's no easy playing this song with the guitar.

[emericanchaos]

played right and in full it's rediculously hard.

[digglefallen93]

lol

"The language I'm speaking at the end of the clip is called Afrikaans."

some stupid people out there...

[rodstartube]

i expected to head something interesting

[tetevaovao]

Trash!!!!

[PunkMonkey81]

YOUR FU*KING GAY!!! you masterbate in the mirror

[HerrNiekur]

Idiot...

[shadowslayer22]

this is only the toccata portion with a little bit of the fugure. since a fugue is two lead melodies it would mean its impossible to play the fugue and it's supposed to with once guitar. though i suppose it may be possible to do if you use hammer ons and pulloffs to play both parts using both of your hands haha. abut 2 years ago i started playig thisand i got about 3 minutes in before the fugue really begins and its killer. this song will push your limits,

[disclaimer05]

I finger tap from 1:07-1:24. I need to seriously hone my shredding skills =P. I cheat, haha.

[bloodymarriage]

sounds like your saying and that is a plastic bottle

[xlganondorf]

this song is hard to play on guitar i just started playing this song and the notes get really hard to play at the speed they require

[Angel759]

that is amazing! you are crazy good lol

[Jadanegoes]

Delay mees´d it up....Try a different time!

But anyway, you´re awesome!

[KassiopeiaMond]

Bach rocks!!!

[Pownzorer21]

... i dont hear fugue in that tho maybe im just tired but can someone point it out?

[guisoconmermelada]

you are good

[slashvrfan07]

Now who says bach ain't cool?

[tyuru2]

the question is... is it harder on organ or guitar?

[cleric50]

You Are kidding me

The Organ is one of the Most Difficult Instruments to play. You could play this on Guitar after about 1 months Practice. It would take you over a decade to even concider playing it on the Organ. T&F is recognised is being the Most Difficult piece to play on the organ.

[BornDead616]

i take it you'v not played guitar?

[dbskiluvu]

Dude, if you know how to play the piano, it's not that hard to play the organ. I mean, yea, it's still hard, but it's easier b/c you know the notes and all. And all I'm saying, is that it's equally hard to play on the guitar as it is on the organ. ^^

[BlargenCalipink]

both

[sondrehovdenhotmail]

is that a wine bottle on the table? great! you made me start drinking again. haha.. just kidding.. great played :)

[vova929]

dude ur room is messy

[hunterofazeroth]

Simply stunning ... Great Job !!!!!

[Eilertso]

Man - That's fucking impressive...!

[DMendes01]

what are you all on about? that just about as "nothing special" as the sound of his guitar..

[deedlebag]

bwahaha :) dude, ekt vergeet hoe belaglik goed jy is. as iemand ooit weer vir my vra wat "creative expression" is kry hulle die link na hierdie video toe. brilliance.

[mukkezz]
