IKEDA Shinji plays Fuoco by Roland DYENS

[Ziggster01]

i don't care what anyone says. This guy clearly has talent, and drew out the raw essence behind the music

[shredorshred]

la unica parte donde se ve que tiene vida y mente propia (que es humano) es en el final

[bmarko85]

it could be played with more emotion and care. probably, small nuances in timing, tone and intensity that achieve this are more easily achieved when you play a little slower. Speed and technique are admirable, but in the end music is about what moves you...

[davidverdugarcia1]

¡Hola amigo Shinji!, soy David Verdú y me lo he pasado muy bien con tu Fuoco; y como siempre es un placer verte tocar con tanto de todo, incluido el fraseo.

¡1 ABRAZO CAMPEÓN!

[GregorS1986]

Robot like! Sorry!  Listen too FrenchFolk music, than you got a chance too understand what that music is about. Youve got no phrasing...

[orlandovipze]

Esta es una de las interpretaciones más increíbles que he visto!!! Excelente postura de Ikeda Shinji simplemente sensacional!!! Ni siquiera el mismo Roland Dyens lo interpreta mejor jejeje

[yangmagic0703]

except his right hand's position making the guitar's sound too edgy, i like the overall performance

[mrwormburn]

everyone needs to shut the fuck up about "non-musicality!" is that how you rationalize jealousy? yes this performance isn't note-perfect, but speed is a legitimate interpretation, and I think Shinji does a great job here. Besides, can anyone play at this level and dedicate all their time to a piece like this and not have "musical" sensibilities? I don't think so. They are there: the contrasts, the colours, the phrases - maybe your ears are too slow!

[avenueofthestarss]

I agree with you.

[rubenalbertofficial]

qué malo eres...no mueves la cabeza...

jajaja

eres una mákina

[swarmoflocusts1]

For the most part, he has good technical skill (there were a few moments when it was lacking). However, there is so much more to playing classical guitar than just technical skill. It is impossible to play well without good technique, of course, but you need more than that to be a great player. Slow it down, Mr. Shinji, and feel the music.

[johnnyguitar1st]

Wow all the negative comments seem to be vanishing,talented musician but he murdered this tune.

[Hujarist]

emm..way too fast =( you need to understand where to put accents...no feelings in your play..

[Filipdinca]

u play much more tehnique then me...but is missing something... where is forte on the sheet must played forte.....where is piano must play piano... u are better then me but learn to not play like robot and you-ll become very good :)

[raziel7777]

whats great about looking at comments on this website is all the people that feel the need to make it known that they have played whatever song it is they are watching. best guitarist in greece of 2007? what? who cares? fact is. he plays this a bit fast. for a live performance, it's stellar. but still, it would be a bit more musical and hopefully cleaner if he slowed it down just a bit. Dyens video of this is the absolute perfect way to play. Makes sense huh?

[stummeworte1]

oraaa jajaa pinche chino webon.... no ke teknika perfecta???!! sorry.... jajaja fucking chinese.... you sucks a looot!! serkinWizzzard said's:... thats too fast. fast? you think that youre better than roland dyens?? beep (error) you must learn more teknike... enjoy the music!! dont play that great song like... a bricklayer... (no tokes como albañil!!!) aki en mexico eso es denigrante.. asi ke saludos... jajaja

[serkinWizzzard]

I think, it's too fast

[dadalaidou]

Your technique is just perfect. Now what about posting a piece where there is some (other kind of) music to be expressed ?

[ewd34]

not perfect at all. at 1:45 he totally fails.

[dadalaidou]

I'm talking general technique (of course technique can improve at any level) -not local mistakes --really not important, especially there.

[albatross111]

I'd be happy with just the one screw up like that in a live performance

[PPWarrior]

Wow man he even play with is little finger it's rare to see someone play with this finger. I personnally think that he play very well and I would really wish to learn this kinda song!

[J2zday]

sure he misses notes here and there and at times he gets a little sloppy, but peeps i play this for are always impressed by it.

maybe its appeal is in its rawness...if thats a word.

[kepten1]

Is that a Michael Gee guitar?

[johnboylil]

A swarm of music for the ears and soul, great work.

[grypper4life]

this guy is covering a real song your dumb as hell. you may think its just noise but its talent

[panosfromgreece]

Not at all my friend...

[anadrolking]

I agree sounds very good to me as well, they can say all the bad they want but i bet anyone who says bad on it cant play even the easiest classical songs well.

[1115kong]

I don't understand what is this guy doing. To ugly his sound is like shit his technic is extreamely bad he have no beat no musical idea no sense at all the only thing I can hear is just a noise ... for u guys who like this man playing and said this is a perfect tempo or whatever so u r even stupid than this guy please know

[aks74u]

Is this guy a guitar player or a guitar sport man? I think he ruined most of the piece because he wants us to see how fast he can play and because of that he missed some notes and I hate how he changed the beat before the part with the bands.

Good for him

[taudou]

c'est surtout ANTI musical... remarquez son "expression" lorsqu'il joue, seulement de la technique, encore de la technique, toujours de la technique...

[matiasluna]

no sense at all, too fast,

[efez]

puro punk rock

[lamantisatea]

nah, mi mama es mas gorda...

[anadrolking]

its not to fast its perfect this guy rocks hard. Man that was cool. I don't think he missed one beat or note.

[panosfromgreece]

Yeah, he didn't miss one... He missed almost 30 notes and all the tone...

[jmckaskle]

You can't talk about tone watching such a highly compressed video. And his playing was near perfect.

[panosfromgreece]

Not at all my friend... I played this song at Christmas and I won a medal on it... The best guitarist in Greece for 2007...

He doesn't play it well. He can though...

[gerkov77]

too good! :-))

[shtbot2001]

I can't believe people believe this is too fast. This performance is too amazing.

[TrentDylan]

Good work

[helleeno]

the most balanced performance of this piece on youtube.

most of them lack rithym.

[crimson5220]

I think the speed is proper. It would work with a slower tempo aswell. However it does make the intended expressive feeling. It's a "fuoco" after all!

[repelevil]

Faster is better ,few people can make this so fast and cristal clear

[bobbyallan]

ikeda is my last name!~

[orelhasuave]

too fast but clean !!!

[BlackOsker]

amazing performance

but you should slow it down

it's nicer whne you hear it slower =P

[JLDotson]

t  o o f a s t h o m i e

[hernan086]

very good

[fodera6]

S L O W D O W N

[CLASSICALBARD]

kida reborn is right,he plays very clean and fast,but just see the roland dyens interpretation and you ll se that little details that we are talking about

[KidaReborn]

too fast, uncontrolled speed, every nice effect is missed.

[KidaReborn]

really don't know why people can't control their speed in this piece...too fast! Everything gets missed, while it's full of beautiful things to let the audience hear.

[wyteninja]

i love the ninja look on your face. "Awesome"

[Javoguitar]

Wow that's wonderful!! but I think that that piece es much beautiful at a lower tempo :)

[02023089D]

damn it's amazing! good dynamics control!

[roppatz]

really really good! Very good tempo! i like that piece soo much, and you played it so wonderful!

5 stars!
