well i've been trying to play this for years and still cant get the timing right grrrr love the tune well makes me happy!!!! thank you john williams for this beautiful tune :)
0:9 to 0:13 is he actually playing that? i am trying to learn it and, all i can say is it looks like he is just adding in that sound or has someone else playing it, because, HIS HAND ONLY MOVES TO THE NEXT CHORD you dont have the songs signature sound in his movement, please help me this is almost making me SCREAM! ;(
@armstrongbrosband Actaully no i have learnt it now ^^ My music sheet was wrong the music is perfectly in sync with the video he just uses his pinkie instead of going from the 7th fret to the 4th he used his pinkie to hit another note lol ^^
I was learning this piece as a kid when I packed in the guitar. Must've been about 16 and started working on the building sites. Really, really difficult.The only bit I can still play is between 1:00 and 1:12
@LacobrigusRomanicus carl verheyen did a lot of star wars music, go check his bio out, he has worked on so many films over the years from cars 2 to mission impossible, he is a very talented musician, and he plays the guitar better than anyone I have seen, he makes hard things look easy
@LacobrigusRomanicus Definitely nope!! That John Williams is a wonderful composer in tne "neo-romantic" style, reminiscent of Waagner's more tonal styles and Richard Stauss....John Williams the awesome guitar player is not a composer - although he does some KILLER arrangements and adaptations for guitar!!
You're really lucky, or should I say blessed @ skitchcraig to have learned and experienced the enjoyment of performing and even more so; teaching this wonderful masterpiece to your students! It's a thrill of a lifetime I should say. This classic movie blockbuster themesong is just one of the main reasons why I am going back to guitar playing again and hopefully keep doing it for good.
I learned this exact arrangement from the sheet music when I was 12 or 13, ten years later I was teaching it to my own pupils and now 30 years later I can still enjoy playing it. A great arrangement perfect for solo guitar.
What seems 'out of tune' is actually 'wow' and 'flutter.' This recording was done on old VCR tape. This tape stretches a bit over time, producing fluctuations in pitch. This might appear that Williams is 'out of tune.' He wasn't.
From the first Secret Policeman's Ball in 1979 I think, the movie The Deerhunter had been released the previous year so the piece was world famous (previously it had been famous in England for appearing on Tony Hart's children's arts programme as background music to 'The Gallery' where you could send in your artwork and hope to see it displayed)
@ianrkav The frets on a true temperament fretboard are bent into bizarre shapes to give perfect intonation on every single fretted note. Straight frets only give you an approximation of the notes, but there are always a few that sound slightly off, especially higher up the neck.
@HasaanFatal You cannot get perfect intonation on a fretted instrument that's true, this is why violin's and cello's etc are fretless. I have seen some guitar's with almost 's' shaped frets higher up the neck, maybe that was a 'true temperament' fretboard I was looking at but didn't know:-)
beautifully done, though it states "playing at Avery Fisher hall, New York on Oct 25, 2011. Since today is October 17th, 2011, I'm guessing he had a time machine?
@Paschalboy No - YouTube is mistakenly trying to tell you that John Williams will be playing at Avery Fisher Hall on October 25, 2011. It's how they try to make revenue by posting these videos. The mistake is that the composer and conductor John Williams ('Raiders of the Lost Ark', "E.T."...) is the one performing at Lincoln Center, not this man, the Australian guitarist.
@paullavan2011 - You reminded me, art for kids on t.v. Tony Hart was great, he would show the children's pictures one by one in 'The Gallery' while this music played. The combination was a killer. I was torn because I really wanted to see the art work but didn't like to hear the music because it made me cry. When it was time for the gallery I'd think....oh no......!!!
the smallman is an amazing guitar!! very dark with incredible sustain!! I've played both (fleta and smallman, both original and not sons) if I could get either, I would prefer the smallman!!
btw, I play a Jacobson, so I'm no deprived:)
i'm not a professional guitarist, just had a really good teacher, that had both.
This was the original music used in 'The Gallery' on the legendary Tony Hart's show, I was five years old when I was first transfixed by this music (1976).
Still great.
ps - respects to Johnny Morris, Johnny Ball, and Simon Groom.
like all pro tennis players discover - someone younger and faster comes along and "takes the crown" . Ana Vidovic may play this piece neater and faster than John WIlliams does but lets not forget that it was John WIlliams who turned Stanley Myers piano piece into a beautiful guitar melody in the first place.
This is from Secret Policeman's Ball yes ? I had it on an old VHS and must have worn out this performance 1:00 to 1:41 .... God his hands were beautiful
@TheMimzee Exactly, I mean in some parts it is mildly uplifting, but only for a second as if to represent there was little good times in that time period. Speaks more then a song with words.
@nalcow Ahh gracias por la respuesta! Ya me parecía raro que un guitarrista de prestigio, interprete una canción tan famosa con la guitarra desafinada jajajajaja No podía ser! Saludos, viejo!
John Williams no ka oi! I recorded a version of this with recorder virtuoso, Brad White, for a release called, "Old Friends III". It's out of print for the moment.
@vaibach Play the song the way it has to be and Ana plays too fast. You can listen to her video "watch?v=FOXAo8GHQO8&feature=related". It is Estudio no 11(Etude No 11-Villa Lobos). The song was written to be played in "Lento", which means very slowly. Ana's is good, better than segovia. But, still JW is the best. When you play something too fast, especially for songs that need to be played expressively. when JW plays, i can hear him breathe, even the way he sings a song.
this piece is timeless. the music is so laconic, sad at times, others not. i find it accessible, you can learn this piece, yet to really master it, its a challenge, but one i hope to do one day. in the meantime i shall continue to enjoy johns awesome virtuosity
When I was a kid and this movie came out, I must have seen it 20 times.(1st.wkend) For the Story & the Music of this song. It's why I am learning to play myself.
@TheLimpCottonToeBook heh actually there's no perfect intonation on a "regular" guitar. The "out of tune" is best exacerbated by the lack of tremolo, which is quite impossible when playing it like this.
If you want perfect intonation all the frets are angled as seen on some guitars but YES the "slightly off tune" adds some more real-world ambience.
:) after about 20 years of practice, I will play this tune just as well as the master.
he doesn't just play the guitar, he talks to it and it responds. When he is playing this piece he looks as if he is talking to an old friend of his...just his expression.....beautiful music....really.

This is going to seem ridiculous, but, this is not up to JWs usual standard, some of the timing is out, a tad, and some of the notes are rough / strained. I'm not panning him for all time, that again, would be ridiculous, but I've heard him do this far better, and some years after this take.

@Joshua12345 I agree :) I have heard better (real flawless) versions, live and on CD. Hey, this makes him more human, I guess :) Nevertheless, I enjoyed this, too.
@LilWayneMetalGod I can't believe you actually compared Lil Wayne to John Williams. There's a level of skill and talent from Williams that LW can never reach.
@LilWayneMetalGod Lilly Wayne is rap garbage, that represents the poverty of continual black ignorance in America, the refusal to appreciate significant art and culture, and the deliberate dumbing down of America.
Watched The Deer Hunter again today. This song is sooo beautiful, and makes the movie even more saddening. Vietnam was a horrible war, and affected many families. :'-(
@Crussman499 I watched it last nite, and again today with my husband--who had never seen it. I agree with everything you said, and just want to add one thing--no one knew about PTSD back then, and soo many soldiers had breakdowns--nothing was done for them. When they returned to the US they were treated like garbage! Hopefully, there's a lesson in that somewhere.....
Sometimes dont matter how good you are in technical things . Beacuse if you ll give the 100% of your heart it ll sound better then 100% of your technical potential and only 30% of your heart :)
the deer hunter is the first fillm where i sat for the entire end credits, simply due to this song playing. when this song was played after all of the drama, the emotional turmoil from the film this song came out in such a haunting way
I first heard this on Vision on The Gallery.Then was a way on hols when the album Bridges i think come out and i had to wait till getting home to play it love them times back then i was 11 or 12.Happy times
Are there 2 John Williams' because there is the film composer who is American and this one who is Australian and I was confused. I think this is a different person to the one who composed Harry Potter.!!!

Have you seen Wayne play his guitar? LOL.

@LilWayneMetalGod I can't believe you actually compared Lil Wayne to John Williams. There's a level of skill and talent from Williams that LW can never reach.

@LilWayneMetalGod Lilly Wayne is rap garbage, that represents the poverty of continual black ignorance in America, the refusal to appreciate significant art and culture, and the deliberate dumbing down of America.

Watched The Deer Hunter again today. This song is sooo beautiful, and makes the movie even more saddening. Vietnam was a horrible war, and affected many families. :'-(

@Crussman499 I watched it last nite, and again today with my husband--who had never seen it. I agree with everything you said, and just want to add one thing--no one knew about PTSD back then, and soo many soldiers had breakdowns--nothing was done for them. When they returned to the US they were treated like garbage! Hopefully, there's a lesson in that somewhere.....

Sometimes dont matter how good you are in technical things . Beacuse if you ll give the 100% of your heart it ll sound better then 100% of your technical potential and only 30% of your heart :)

the deer hunter is the first fillm where i sat for the entire end credits, simply due to this song playing. when this song was played after all of the drama, the emotional turmoil from the film this song came out in such a haunting way

Are there 2 John Williams' because there is the film composer who is American and this one who is Australian and I was confused. I think this is a different person to the one who composed Harry Potter.!!!
