Ave Maria - Schubert Classical guitar

[leopoldvs]

Para ti abuelita Eva (r.i.p.)!...(me haces taaaaanta falta, tu fuiste la unica en este mundo que me quizo) Yo se que tu me ves desde el cielo y todos los dias trato de hacerte sentir orgullosa de mi...This is for you Grandma!...(I miss you soooooo much, you were the only one who really loved me) I know you look at me from heaven and everyday I try to make you feel proud of me.

[adamiceberg]

When the greatest most beautiful structures we as humans BUILT were Chruchs and Cathedrals, and our businesses were in pole structure tents and on the sides of transient market place streets did we have a better focus on what was important?

Now that our grandest structures are devoted to places where we make money and house our posessions have we made a clear choice to the LORD about which of two masters we have decided to serve?

[rysette22]

Je ne vais pas parler de technique de guitare Peu m'importe si vs avez utilisé onglet ou clou....moi je ne garde que l'émotion que vous m'avez transmis Un grand merci MONSIEUR

[Rotitomato]

Very well played, I just find It to be a little bit fast, but I might be totally wrong. Thumbs up!

[waldyrm]

absolutely I don't see anything bad at all......18 dislikes is too much.......can't understand why 18 peoplo don't like it.

[waldyrm]

very good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whitedanny27]

Perfect! This is the best version for guitar I have came across. How long have you been playing?

[leonardfishboy]

lmfao look at these 18 ignorant people... Master!

[Rternroll]

[IXxPURITYxXI]

Do you happen to have the tabs for public viewing, or perhaps for sale? I took a look at your site and couldn't find them.

[psychochippy]

Lovely!

[Sunny201105]

My heart is melting away listening to you playing this! *^.^*~~~~

[windows98x64]

This in C Dur?

[tonytrilex]

I would love to get this arrangement could you please let me know who this arrangement is buy I go to a music school and I do study classical guitar.

[LotWPro]

@tonytrilex It's Franz Schuberts's "Ave Maria"

[TheHerpDerpNation]

This is a very nicely played piece but I notice your hand rotates alot from the elbow. It seems to be bouncing, is that intentional? If not I think you could get a much better sound by keeping the right arm still and preparing better.

[IXxPURITYxXI]

@TheHerpDerpNation I'm pretty sure that at this level of skill, everything he does is intentional.

[kkronoss90]

please tell me if there is any tabs on internet! I really like it and I would like to learn. thank you

[leopoldvs]

BRAVO!!!!...MASTER PIECE!!!!!

[pikachu832]

[michaellucarelli]

yes i use nails. if they break i use artificial nails @pikachu832

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@michaellucarelli if you dont want to use nails will a thumbpick work?

[DevlinMcGrath]

@Janyedoe its all feelin on this one...just ride with it...TIMING!! crescendo...decrescendo

[RDM213]

Incredible sound (and playing of course)! How was this recorded? Obviously there is a monstrous reverberation from the cathedral itself... What else was used? Mics, soundboard, etc?.... Do you record your cd's in this (or other) church/cathedral???A teacher I went to recorded in a cathedral for several of his cd's. Awesome video!

[michaellucarelli]

recorded on a mac. Cathedral has great acoustics. Thank you. i really appreciate all the nice comments. @RDM213

[IzzyOnGuitar]

Awesome piece and a awesome performance! Where can I get the Notes?

[RigatoniRin]

[dentistdeb]

[SuperDevilLucifer]

[ilisntl]

i am learning the guitar and i always wondered if i cud play all those beautiful pieces by mozart beethoven etc....but after this il work hard and learn the guitar so that even i can recreate those pure notes just like u did!!!!

[diegohermoza23]

this is amazing.....speechless.....

can i please have the tabs?

[florentzagreat]

Wie schön!

[davidoxley100]

I love this piece and wold like to learn to play it. Do you have the tab available?

[pauljsales]

I am Speechless......WOW !!!!

[777mrmusicman]

absolutely stunning, and gorgeous tone. next paycheck will definitely be purchasing your albums. thank you so much for posting this.

[pskerries]

I've started to learn it around six months ago,and I see now if I want to be as good as you are then I only have to practice around more 126 months...14 hours/day

[kuchavao]

amazing

[halllashalllas]

incredible. tabs available anywhere? i found only different versions. thank You for reply

[Cougarsmane]

I used this version of Ave Maria as training material before a wedding, I sang it there.. I must say, it's absolutely wonderful and was perfect for learning! Your tutelage is much appreciated :)

[avegga13]

oh MY MOTHER MARIA !!!! THIS IS THE BEST U COULD POSSIBLY FIND ON YOUTUBE!!

[arseniyonline1234555]

where can i get this arrangement? i want to buy the book, but pdfs welcome

[Lemurrific]

I'd love the tabs to this song.



[oldwhtman]

Is this your arrangement? It's what I've been looking for. I'm not too fond of the tremolo arrangements I've heard. This should rival your Moonlight Sonata performance. Excellent.

[Nirvanafan90200]

So beautiful, so clean, the best interpretation on youtube, thank you for this moment of beauty...

[Tangibleapparition]

i can hear your breathing

[AngusTheWolf]

incredible as always sir. how old were you when you first started playing?

[ereskoag]

Из России.

[ereskoag]

Michael, это удивительное произведение исполнено великолепно. Еще больше получил удовлетворение подобрав ее на гитаре в вашей транскрипции. Не могу поверить в красоту звуков вашего выбора сочетания нот. Это лучшая раскладка (переложение) для гитары на сегодняшний день.

[danielo888]

You´re awesome and I love this song,just wonderfull thank you for playing for us. Grettings from argentina

[M1CKSOUL]

By far, this is my favourite version of this piece. Absolutely amazing, I always listen to this when I study :)

Thank you!

[wilipausa1]

Wow,wow, so beautiful.

[fullblooded64445]

Tabs please!!

[peppy6078]

Schubert is a wonderful composer

[georgewu5]

I hate guitar as an instrument. Period ! George Wu, AIA 2011-9-5

[marinhomarape]

Wonderful... congratulations!!!

[myhollybun]

Top of the line bravo.

[pogoshome]

@vreillo1 No apologies needed at all.  My main point was I loved this guitar rendition of Schubert's gorgeous Ave Maria.

[Lucky12071]

That's a wonderful arrangement and very well played. Do you have the sheet music for this?

[pogoshome]

@vreillo1 I am an atheist, and I loved it.

[230694e]

Nice!! :D Can I get the tablature for Guitar Pro 5??

[navyseal1414]

Whenever i hear any church song it makes me think about my dead grandmother.This is beutiful. Thank you.

[doeeyedgirl]

I'd like to jump on the "May I please purchase tablature?" bandwagon. Excellent music. Thank you for posting

[Arcalis]

Just another way to express perfection... I'm in awe, even if i listen to this for at least a year. Yea, the steadicam filming is really nice, but the guitar says it all, and more. Thank you Mike :)

[SuperDases]

Mhhh... This is magic! I feel bad that I have my guitar in the cellar. I will take it up emediatly, and buy new strings and practice... Your amazing :')

[ViBach9]

Is there anything to dislike in this video? i cant stop crying

[SheLovesPain]

Love it <3 May i ask when you started playing the guitar please ?

[michaellucarelli]

Thank you. I started playing electric guitar in 1972. Classical 1979.

[JEREACUNA]

Beautiful playing. This was truly brilliant!

[adambrotherston]

Would you sell a tab for this MASTERPIECE??? Would LOVE to learn this but the tabs online are no good! This was truly brilliant!

[Robinbobby12]

Can U please send the tablature, I really want to play this for girlfiend of mine, Would really appriciate it !Thanks and good work!

[Bostero3771]

Beautiful playing. Where is that gorgeous church?

[sq33ker]

Micheal because of you I have learned this beautiful classic, I'm a left handed guitar player, so if want to look in the mirror I'll play it for you,of all the songs I've learned this one has a special feeling and sentiment for me,..of course, giving to whom this is written about, I love your nuance and approach to it,..take care and peace be with you.

[asterix299]

Nice! I was wondering if you have tabs (preferably) or scores for this song. I find many around but all of them use bars, though I notice that you do not use many bar chords in your interpretation. I would much prefer to play the song like you :)

I will pay for them if you have some!

[adambrotherston]

@asterix299 I would pay aswell!!!!!!!!!!

[TheChuckspy]

I have Leona Boyd's transcription of Ave Maria and have been practicing it for a while. But I really do love your transcription. Is it available for purchase? Thanjk you!

[Sleyt707]

to hell with Metal classicals way better

[AngryAdobo]

@Sleyt707 Very true. What's with the world and it's new trend of Metal!? It's YUCK.

[ninjaguy3]

I have always admired your playing, very nice

[ernieleem77]

Amazingly clear sound.Love the way you play.thanks

[ellofatman101]

im trying to get into classical guitar, is there like a book or something you would recommend??? you are an amazing guitarist by the way!! :D

[Acerzeon]

I wish i can learn this song. ):

[VLombardi01]

great interpretation!!

[0331915francisco]

i love this song

[gmcorvette]

sensational...

[TheFilmifriikki]

Just lovely. I'm not in anyways religious man but I just love the beautiful tunes preformed with classical guitar. Wouldn't never trade my acoustic on to electric. Not in a million years! The natural echo that was born in the church acoustics made the sound so thick and heavy that it almost sounded satanic.

[ThePie1588]

Mr. Lucarelli, this is just outstanding and inspiring. This is the first time I've heard Franz Schubert's Ave Maria played on the guitar, and it just takes my breath away. Thanks for blessing us with your musical gifts. Blessings and Peace to all!:D

[seekermike007]

Bravo, you play beautifully. This rendition makes my spirit soar. Almost convinces me to go back to catholicism!

[lancecasey1]

Awesome!! very sensitive and inspirational masterpiece, where did you study classical guitar @micaellucarelli and for how long?

[lancecasey1]

Awesome!! very sensitive and inspirational masterpiece, where did you study classical guitar @micaellucarelli ?

[CoolLieTalker]

[Cougarsmane]

[callumWLB]

[zabac456]

[jja671]

[RyoSakazaki83]

I could have listen to this interpretation at least 100 times, and just can't get enough, simply beautiful!

[ethgerfbhrfgbh]

Impresionante, emotivo hasta la médula. Lo contrataré para cuando me case, aunque me imagino el sablazo, jajaja. ¡Maestrazo! \m/
