John williams - cavatina (deer hunter)

[TheBenj2011]

Hey, just look on the bright side...you have covered several full measured tracks of this great movie themesong, Cavatina...moreover, you cannot go wrong with this beautiful masterpiece...once you really learn it...it would be a major accomplishment!

[Mrphilharmonic]

Needs a bit more practice I think if only to get rid of the hiccups and get it up to speed.

[ltsgt2gether]

I wish I could play it even half that good. I am really struggling with it

[JOHNSTONMARK4]

Well the thing is if it gives you satisfaction to attempt cavatina,why not! go for it mate..its a change to the miming crap today, look at them two fools( flamenco guitar barcelona) its on yt..but at least you gave it a shot.!

[nazgulero]

Ouch...there is a reason why artists practice a lot...this one is so bad, it is actually good, like a really bad movie....

[guilmourpagehendrix]

to the guys who put this bloke down, maybe u should sit down and try to play this.....im telling you its bloody hard-i bet u cant do more than attempt a kareoke of Fame

[chadchap]

Terrible, just fucking terrible..

[1evilest1]

awesome!

[dloquetepierdes]

you have to practice very much before upload a video, its an opinion

[gtrfinger]

Fair play to you, I did the same.

[Darkez982]

John Williams Deer Hunter ruined it? That makes no sense, explian. NOW.

[ditman333]

Well, writing this comment im not trying to be as ass, but when you learn a song, its not the notes that matters, its how they are played. Try muting the lower noted some times, because they do extend a little too long some times. You should try learning it on the classical guitar too. Please understand this is a helpful criticism. Not a mean comment.

[Izekial56]

Wow... A lot of assholes on here. I don't understand why everyone's putting this down so much. It's not bad... It's not perfect either, but pleasing to the ear just the same.

Nice job, and don't take all the aggressive criticism personally. Just keep practicing! :)

[TheRealJackfrog]

not bad................ and not good either. and its not john williams who made this nigger

[tportal]

Is the bracelet edible?

[SHAUNFREAK]

why are so many people knocking this? Yes its not perfect, but like he says he's not a classical guitarist - its easy for people to knock it saying this and thats not right (but never post their own version) I too am not a classical guitarist and play this song probably wrong in many parts - but its like he says - its just a song people like playing......and it aint easy for some of us who are not classical - lets just enjoy playing rather than hating eh? Well done korvlada

[davidfaubion]

@SHAUNFREAK ... full agreement ... These critics kill art, stifle learning, alienate, oppress, repress and would better serve humanity by cutting cookies or any machinist technician work. -- Music and dance are the most liberating of all the liberating arts: the playground of free yourself. Never underestimate the desire to co-opt liberation into the slavery of authority, duality, and machine mentality. The fascist mindset will own or kill any spirit that liberates us. Enjoy rather than kill.

[SHAUNFREAK]

@davidfaubion great reply!!!! - totally agree....'Enjoy rather than kill' - i'll remember that one

[jeanpaulfelix]

@davidfaubion

Hey David, this stuff that you wrote literally blew my mind.....Are you a writer?? Can you refer me to pieces that you've written?? Down with Fascism!!! Long live Human liberation!!

[6Metal6Wolf6]

tip: Dynamics = emotion :) keep practicing :D

[IRealBored]

does anyone know where i can get a good free tutorial / walk through for this song

[adamwakeling]

For anyone interested in hearing a really beautiful cover of cavatina search for the channel "AndanteLargo" and see Per-Olov Kindgren play cavatina the way it should be.

[uphoyaax]

sounds very good to me, keep playing!

[pablogaddavideos]

Yeah, I agree you should learn the song before posting it, those are not even the right arpeggios. Nice try, next time at least tune your guitar and put some reverb to it........

[dagebajs]

This song is hard and even harder on steel strings.. though you should learn a song properly before putting it out on the internet. You're not even playing the whole song here, whats up with that?

[ajhgeetar]

Stanley Myers composed this, John Williams just played the classic version. But in classical stuff you credit the composer or arranger.

[charliegtr]

Dude playing this on a steel string is tough, your never going to get it to sound fluent enough. To be honest you didn't do a bad job considering but if you got a nylon strung guitar you would find it so much easier. Im sure playing this guitar has done wonders for building the strength up in your hands.

[ghike30]

kinda ruined it ??? lol. i know its damn difficult you did it better than me,

[pokeronarasac]

disgusting

[billybushwhacker]

pretty shit,,if u ask me,,,,tell u what ill buy your guitar 4 five pounds

[LexystatStolzesHerz]

Tocas bien carnal.

Play Guitar thas good my brother!!!!

[PappyStu]

Disregard those who critisize... Cavatina is a state of mind... Rewarding those who tread there... I did recently...

[TheLydianRocks]

@PappyStu gay much...jk

[jakeyhere]

u suck

[korvlada]

haha fun:P

[EricGodfree]

it sounds really good , the acoustic guitar gives it a whole different feel.

[EricGodfree]

It was Stanley Myers that composed this not |Williams just so you know

[korvlada]

Yes i know, i just heard john williams play it so i picked it out from him, thanks for the comment=) i play wrong i think

[tennisruler5]

i didnt no how to play this song until now b/c u played it slowly and put the camera at your left hand

i just copied wat u did and now i can play it

thanx

beautiful song btw

good job

[gringolazlo]

just google cavatina tab.

[musictranscription]

I'm getting this sheet music

[tommyburns1969]

I am learning this myself love it. I can play it better than this but I feel it has to be perfect before I put it up on here. I would say another 2 months. It really has to be played on a nylon string guitar though

[ekenskog]

A bit more practice and you're there. I love this piece and you're doing really great. I thank you for sharing this with us.

[karlosman666]

actually he's much better right now at the moment. because it was some years ago he uploaded this video. believe me I have heard him play clavatina many times live

[TrulyBritish]

Well done fella, this is quite a hard pice to play. keep it up and you will crack it.

[sormu16]

Fine! Take the advice about practising at very low speed.

[benchwalk]

hi

well done. you will benefit hugely if you slow the whole thing down with a metronome. perfect the piece at slow tempo and gradually increase even as little as 1 click a week.

2 month the tune is up to speed played to fluent perfection.

[kutaswciescienaslabo]

Jesteś partaczem i gitara Ci nie stroi.

Idź się schować.

Nie wiem po co to wstawiłeś.

[adamles5]

Sam umiesz tak zagrać? Ludzie wstawiają różne filmiki. Chciał po prostu pokazać co umie. To wszystko

[welldestre]

1976 midnight

[tazzarman]

Hey some of the comments on here are very negative,dont let them jerks get you down,your on your way dude,plus your way better than me,

[Cronaldo02]

gb, give it a year and youll be a pro

[korvlada]

im not really into classical so i dont have the classical range, its just a tune i like to play

[elvisbeavis]

Hey man, it's getting there. You should try and put aside some time to really get this piece down as most of what you played sounded great. I'd like to hear what you could achieve with a little more work. Nice tone on that guitar of yours, what is it?

[tottenhamali]

lesson please

[CuntLunch]

He can play it on what he wants to ...its his video

[CarlosTrin]

hey korvlada i for one love the sound of the steel strings, but i agree with pikiwiki, nylon strings would make it so much easier for you to play! however you got the tempo and the feeling just right please post more!

[korvlada]

thank you=) i dont have the classical qualifications nor the techniques this is just a random song i liked, which i dont play very often. just decided to put it up here

[korvlada]

haha yeah sure:P

[davidronan]

dont play it on a steel string ,twat

[korvlada]

why do you even bother to watch if you dont like steel string guitars? i dont play classical musical i thought it was pretty obvious,. dont be rude

[OktoberStorm]

Please tune!

[korvlada]

it is tuned.

[thomasioth2]

practise more..u have it in you!

[ClaziGuitarist]

Hey man.. practices WILL make you play better but... PLEASE tune your guitar properly before you play always. It ruins listener's ear as well as yours!

[redspecialguy]

exellent mate dont listen to bull shit coments from dickheads on here you played it great i can only play a few lines on it you got further than me haha well done mate 5 stars

[pikiwiki]

It's not bad- well played- I couldn't play it. It does sound as if he's not pressing down hard enough on the frets on some notes. Maybe it's the steel strings.

[Schneider10101]

Try tuning

[jasoninertia]

sound really good mate , I could never play as well as this.

[fawd13]

nice work, i just started working on this one. its rough. you did a great job!

[highmcdopehead]

its really good :)

makes it eaven better ya can get that sound with a steel string =]

[Dr9000]

So many people being rude - Why not re-record this until you have a 100% perfect take as you can play it here - just the odd mute note and open strings ringing - fix this and record again, it will both worth it.

[korvlada]

Yeah i know but i dont really mind i play it my way i dont really play classical, impossible to play like john williams anyway:P

[Dr9000]

Yeh, it sounds fine the way you play it - just would be even better if you ironed out the couple of mistakes thats all. Good work tho!

[ogfeen]

pure shite

[abombinreverse]

considering how hard Cavatina is, that is a great effort

[Grandote82]

Nice effort considering you're playing on a steel string quitar.

Try a Spanish guitar and you'll fly!

[hannibal3blue]

Nice effort - you get a lovely tone from your guitar.

Don't be put off by armchair critics who can't do any better. Any true musician will just offer encouragement.

[Haizum74]

Not bad actually considering its not note for note but hey nothing wrong with going ya own way. Only thing I would suggest is try it on a classical at least. Will sound much better

[korvlada]

hey thanks for the comment=) yeah i would if i had one i will get one eventually but not yet. maybe i record it again later.

[FreeImprovMan]

Congratulations on at least getting some of the notes right. Although not many.

Try something easier perhaps.

[korvlada]

i play it my own way the way everyone should and not try to copy everyone else note for note. think before writing

[Benjiko]

Not good.

[Lagwagon555]

This tab is far easier than the GuitarPro one I have. Do you have the guitar pro version of this? Awesome playing mate!

[korvlada]

i actually dont have any guitar pro i used to but its far more easier just to look at tabs and go by ear, i mostley do songs by ear because i need to train to hear notes but otherwise. ultimate-guitar i think it was. this is just my version of this song i dont think john williams play this way, thanks for the comment and for watching=)

[gram1960]

Good view of the left hand fingering for anyone who's not keen on using tab.

[Chris93Rock]

Why dont u hav 5 star?!?

[korvlada]

thank you=) well i think people expect me to be as good as john williams for some reason

[auto4union]

You should really learn to play it right before posting it for the world to see!I know its not an easy instrument to master so keep it up buddy!

[korvlada]

well i dont play classical music and its not 100% accuratre but it took a while to take it out by ear, this is just my version of it.=) its steel string guitar to so it sound awful. thank you tho

[robjbray]

I think its very helpfull to post it like this it shows people who are slower at guitar how to find the way!

peace

[legemmr]

/me flyby - nice!

(do it again?)

[draculawedding666]

Woaaa so good!

[copey83]

this is really hard to play, but such a beutiful song. its worth all the wrist ache practising when you can play it i think.

i cant quite at the moment but im trying!!!lol.

[korvlada]

haha i have a crap guitar which makes it harder. but yeah its a great song i only like the intro of it thats why i dont play more

[classicalguitarboy]

lol this is piece is very beautifull but its not hard, its realy easy, learn it like in 1 week and half

[korvlada]

its more how you play it

[paddyjd007]

[arjant90]

It's a difficult song;)

[korvlada]

[bananjenny]

Adz

[fukyou1000]

Nice - where did you find all the extra notes and fluffs?

[korvlada]

i actually heard it on tv then trying to do it by ear so its not exactley the same. i like my version beter=)

[CamillaLindh]

Du är jätte duktig på att spela gitarr!!

[korvlada]

Tackar=)

[korvlada]

i show how to play idiot

[korvlada]

who the fuck cares?? i know that but i like john williams version better,

[Chkombos]

I like how slow it is, with little breaks here and there. :) I'm learning this song, and I am still at the 4th measure... :) It really is hard to play.

[korvlada]

yeah.:P i just like that part so im not gonna learn more but i thuoght figuring out the chords was the hard part

[exitthegame]

very good...this song is not at all easy!

[korvlada]

thank you=)
