Aniello Desiderio - Classical Guitar (part 3 of 10)

[salamancaj2]

I stood up an applauded for a couple minutes this is great!

[Sleyt707]

how can you play that fast on an acoustic

[kowalsky111]

@Sleyt707 its a classical guitar, it''s much softer and faster to play then steel guitar. but it's superfast anyway :-P

[singeguitar]

@Sleyt707 its classical not acoustic....

[rawrgDX]

Amazing! Plus I didn't know Wolverine played violin! XD

[96axeman111]

pretty incredible

[FretboardToAsh]

And so light, so fluent and easy. Like he's not even touching the strings.

[Chrisounds]

What excellent phrasing and interpretation!

[TJoshuaR2]

don't let your gf watch this, she may leave you for this guy. did u see how fast those fingers were moving?

[MrSnorlax22]

Is it an original composition for guitar ( the Paganini sonata)

[faipas49]

@MrSnorlax22 yes

[unagondolaunremo]

bravo, da tutti i punti di vista!

[kloh2010]

the best guitarist .excellent figering skill .

[classicalmannick101]

you can tell how much this guy practices by all the crap that is plastered all over the fingerboard... yum.

Ein grosse Gitarrespieler! So ein zweite Segovia! Wunderbar!!!

Един великолепен китарист и музикант! Достоен последовател на Сеговия! Радост за всеки, който може да го оцени по достойнство!!!

[alexander78585]

Un grande virtuozo! Un secondo Segovia! Bravissimo!!!

[MIssUnsinn]

ive listend this piece of music somewhere else played by ana vidovic..i dont know but aniello desiderio makes it sound like emotion..

[orlandoguitarist]

I know speed isn't 'everything', but the last minute of this piece is mighty impressive!

[skatastolako]

@orlandoguitarist true. his scales a bit weak though... and no, i wouldn't do it bettermyself :)

[robmiester]

its better to play for self and have no public, then to play for public and have no self. Aniello is wise to know this.

[percey]

his hands look like? .. hmm let me think... could it be!? young Segovia?

[OtterpopSlaughterMop]

His picking hand looks like a humming bird.

[farabarcar]

GRANDE ANIELLO

[johnsoncm65]

What a wonderful player. And a flawless peformance of one of the most difficult to play pieces ever written.



[musicofdano]

That's because to understand this type of beautiful music requires a cerebral cortex. For the masses a spinal cord would have sufficed.

[weiguiful]

Fantastic

[BigDaddyLiberty]

It never ceases to amaze me how completely untalented fools like Brittany Spears and Ashley Simpson continue to make millions pouring their dribble over the heads of teenagers the world over, but brilliant masters like Desiderio stay relatively unknown to the gray matter of society.

[MultiChief1]

@BigDaddyLiberty Thank you SO much for saying what needed to be said. I thought I was alone in that concern.

[markmando333]

amazing

[arfurlife]

This is superb virtuosic playing. amazing tone and rhythmic control. Should get more money than david beckham and respect. I dont like classical music but i can appreciate this. All his videos are brilliant. Top class player.

[bijikadutt]

@arfurlife should get more money than lady gaga to be precise

[JERZAMORA]

Jueputa mas chancho!!!

[markmando333]

this guy is fantastic....

[markmando333]

gorgeous,,what a talented guitar player,,truly inspirational

[otamardecarvalho]

Aniello Desiderio é um dos mais expressivos e competentes violonistas do mundo, quer se considerem os discípulos famosos de Andrés Segovia, como John Williams ou Julian Bream. É fabuloso.

[LUCICAGNOLO]

@otamardecarvalho violonistas?

[HailTheAncientOfDays]

Ok so at 5:30ish it looks like he is using only his pinky and index finger to stroke, why is that??

[MultiChief1]

@HailTheAncientOfDays I think it's 1st and 3rd. Pinkie and 3rd kind of move together, often. He may choose 1st and 3rd rather than 1st and 2nd because of the relative finger lengths. My 1st and 3rd are of similar length. 2nd is longer. It's awkward. There is some variety in how men approach this, because different men have different relative finger lengths. Also, 1st and thumb are awkward for me and some others. I play thumb and 2nd often.

[clam454]

wow.  REAL music.

[Desigovia]

Desigovia I agree he must be up there with the best guitarists ever

[qhekaho]

Paginini sold his soul to the devil to compose such devastatingly beautiful music..A. Desiderio sold his soul to the devil to get the skills to play Paginini's devastatingly beautiful music which Paginini composed after selling his soul to the devil PERI

OD!

[riverriverrrrrrr]

good god....

[corbacia]

Hi

I have the Andres D. Marvi guitar from Aniello Desiderio. Which He use to perform and record. If you are interested in this instrument pleas contact me

[shragermn]

Faulk Malmsteen. this dude is a god.

[neonlightJimmy]

Most incredible thing I ever seen or heard!

[gajaorange]

Best guitar player ever....

[dirdawuth]

his left hand,you mean.

[allmdiym]

malsteen is still good he was probably amazing at classical but he was around the times of trying to create sometihng new with old and he did that quite well.. this guy here is a diffrent level alltogether then most guitarists. He probably a well disciplined perfectionist thats shares amazing sounds while malsteen was looking to make money... all im saying is malsteen was still fucking amazing his shit was rough and creative. This guy the most amazing machine i cant get enough

[noir0222]

my brains is relieve

[garrethdavis]

technique is incredible

[gennarocano]

si puo' pretendere di piu'????impossibile

[ukclassicalguitar]

what a guitarist....Great Aniello!!!

[TheAncientForest]

A Master at Work!

[king3rnie]

@dunholy

since i did A LOT of metal when i was younger - i think we are! :-)

[symbolsim]

paganini was a mothermarfing madman

[checkingdude]

There are millions of people out there who really believe that Malmsteen on a classical guitar is hard to beat,after listening to Desiderio you have to consider that to be the best joke in guitarland or what?

[king3rnie]

thats no joke, in fact it´s a really sad story :-)

the reason is, imho - that those metalheads tend to consider themselves a heir of bach just the moment they learn what a harmonic minor scale is ^^

i´d never critizise mr.malmsteens e-guitar skills, but seriously - comparing him to any professional cg player is simply ridiculous

[Pacosebastianbach]

what a sensibility I can't bilieve what i see,i never seen a better guitarist all my life .Aniello is the best guitar prophet in the world.

[JapJackson]

This video is just pure happiness. Unbelievable.

[capnpayne]

I like everything about Desiderio's playing

[DemonofShadowFin]

@capnpayne Its not hard to like perfection! haha

[initow]

flawless

[luteguitar]

someone know where can I find the sheet music??

[3dixthus]

yes they sell it at the same place where they have the paint by number art supplies.... next to the crayons.

[jmhclassicalcomposer]

ya i used to play malmsteen and DT, and thought i was the shit untill i realized these guys would still laugh at me for playing my guitar like a violin (single notes at a time). lol youre right this guy does look like Mike Portnoy!!! thats hillarious. id like to see portnoy play percussion for Aniello!

[MvanSst]

Mike Portnoy can play drums AND guitar!!

[Emeraldick]

esta muy bueno, queria tocar neoclasico con power metal pero pirmero me dedicare a la guitarra acustica, clasica y criollo :D y huayno :D (un peruano)

[Rhizomio]

Holy Eggs! This guy should join Dragonforce!!!

[Andoni666]

you are an asshole, dragonforce has shitty guitar players plus he plays classical

[Rhizomio]

The fact that Dragonforce has shitty guitar players doesn't make me an asshole. What kind of person starts hopping around calling people an asshole?

So, I take it you have nothing against Holy Eggs? Or does the thought of those spin you out into a blind rage also?

Lighten up, and spot irony when you see it. Or don't, and spend your life in meaningless anger. It's your decision...

[SilentStoner]

he's incredible! how does he memorise it all as well?

[Abs0lutGuitar]

That last variation is hilarious, I love it. Such a great performance.

[veienza]

fantastic

[coeji]

jezeusssssssssssssssss hees great why have i never heard of him wooooww

[Deddinsyde]

This guy must have a big brain - it would take a lot of memory to store all these classical pieces.

[raffaellococo]

Un Gigante!!!

[tarquin161234]

What a beast

[zemaneldaquinta]

foda-se mas que javardice

[tilleysolo]

I saw the documentary & have been looking out for him ever since! Thank you thank you !! The Malmsteen of the classical world!

[PanosVfromGreece]

Please stop comparing musicians, with showing off guitarists. Malmsteen, cannot even touch the little finger of this great musician...

[tilleysolo]

Oh don't be a plonker! it was a complement I think A.D is brilliant But so is Y.M. just different genre's There's room for both.

[PanosVfromGreece]

There's sure plenty of room. I like Malmsteen myself. But still, even at his own genre he is not even close to Desiderio's level. What's a plonker, anyway?

[tilleysolo]

Ha Ha ! Ok, It's an english term adopted from a comedy (only fools & horses). I agree, No one touches A.D.

[muskluver]

Strongly agree!

[mikhailasanovic]

LOL bMalmsteen is a joke in the classical world

[MARZIOVILLARI]

Ero sicuro che un Aniello ci sarebbe stato anche per la chitarra!!! Forza Campania (un salernitano al nord)

[PakyZoso90]

nellù si o megl

[raymondTzu]

Segovia onced said sometimes it's necessary to disregard the rhythm (at certain juncture) to capture the spirit of the song. Undoubtedly, it's so so true. It separated from those guitarists who're too mechanistic/'metronomical' in their playing which makes the songs they played felt dry/flat.

[raffaellococo]

Un grandissimo della chitarra,un Virtuoso come pochi.....grazie Maestro!!!!

[mramosribeiro]

Perfect! a master performance! congratulations , Aniello 1

[musinelli]

Perfeito!

[liquid990]

maestro!!

[alejoguit]

AJUE LA RECHIMBA

[therealdarkdragon]

Più lo ascolto e più sono convinto che sia un alieno...un suono unico

[Rusvi1]

no one is better than him today.

[ChitarraSulMare]

Ineccepibile, un grande!!!!!

[meridionalguitar84]

il più grande chitarrista che abbia mai ascoltato!!Magnificamente perfetto!!!

[flundlip]

Some just have better control with i and a... I know many guitarists who prefer those fingers in stead of i and m.

[andR1ea]

maybe....

but he has perfect control also with i-m

[UAclassico]

He plays his fastest scales with i and a, does anyone else play this way? What's the advantage?

[VerlagSpringer]

Anatomically m and a are "tethered" together in a tendon sheath so it's very difficult to run with these two fingers. The i finger does not have this confinement, so it can be used with either m or a with much "free way". However, i and a are better for fast run, at least anatomically and especially for people who keep the right hand fingers relatively perpendicular to the strings, because the i - a pair have less difference in length than the i - m pair. kt

[mikhailasanovic]

good answer! this is very true, but it fascinates me how flamenco players eg paco de lucia can play runs as fast as is humanly possible using i-m, and keeping the right hand very perpendicular to the strings.

[capnpayne]

you do have to consider that they have different criteria for what constitutes a good tone

[VerlagSpringer]

I agree. Their speed is amazing. When using i-m pair they just need to bend the m's PIP joint a bit more than they would the a's when they use the i-a pair. If their nails are straight, this doesn't matter because i is very independent from a or m.

[slmaggot]

incredible!

[jaangunnar]

Those thirds are ridiculous. great stuff.

[bwv1]

Vortuosic playing, but lacking in rythm.

[Curatica]

More precisely, I think he misinterprets and exagerates the rythmical pattern of this piece. But all Italians seem to have their temperamental ideas (not always the most inspired), about how to play Paganini :-)

[Curatica]

Which doesn't mean to say that Aniello Desiderio is not one of the greatest contemporary guitarists--there are critical comments which are not intended to disparage their target but to bring up a less than perfect facet of an otherwise admirable personality; after all none is perfect but God.

[Guitarwizard]

You realize you're an idiot?

That means you lack intelligence. :-)

Im sure you could play the Andantino much better. Cant wait to see your video, let us know when you post it.

Just try not to be such a douchebag.

[Guitarwizard]

My reply is responding to BWV1.

Aniello is perfect.

BWV1 is clearly an idiot.

[bwv1]

Guitarwizard: I just listened to some of your playing and was surprised that someone with such an impeccable sense of rythm considers Desiderio's interpretation perfect despite the obvious and frequent rythmic breakdowns. To my ears, his timing here is all over the place, but it's ok with me if you still can enjoy it.

[ratvuloira]

frequent rythmic breakdowns?!? Did you ever hear the word "rubato"? it means stolen...

[ludowicovan]

Evidentemente indice anulare gli riesce bene ahahah!

[anddev]

Il "problema" è che indice-medio pure è terrificante....veloce come paco de lucia ma pulito come aniello desiderio.....:-)

[giomascia]

Sì, anch'io ho avuto la stessa impressione: indice anulare!

[anddev]

è straripante in tutto ciò che fa,ho saputo che non deve farsi problemi di diteggiature,qualsiasi cosa voglia suonare ed in qualsiasi maniera gli riesce...

penso che siamo di fronte ad un'invasione aliena.. ;-)

[kaless78]

One of the greatest guitar player in the world!!!!

Thank Oxy, thank you so mutch!!

[anddev]

siamo sicuri che ha "solo" 10 dita?

peccato solo che paganini stava "fatto" quando ha scritto il finale di questo pezzo...

N.B. le scalette finali velocissime indice-anulare?!?
