Nylon-string Acoustic Guitar Robert Earl Longley FPE-TV

[WoWintosh]

Okay, some guy wearing a marshall shirt, with long hair and a cowboy hat, busting out some beautiful flamenco? Something's not right here...

[Perception]

Hey great playing Robert Longley!!, just interested in the guitar setup? and what you used for the recording? Cheers a heap, and keep up the playing its truly amazing.

[ericrob2112]

good job ! very cool hammer on / pull of work!!!

[TalonWolf]

Uhm.... I can't seem to hear anything other than a low fuzz....

I'm not taking the piss, either. My speakers and other videos are working fine, but the sound on this video won't work o_o Anyone else getting this problem?

[blarsky]

I remember ten yeasr ago, Robert Longley told me he does it with a D-A-D-G-A-D tuning. Noy Im using it once in a while. Try it, and it becomes 50 percent easy.

[jibbidywopdo]

Didn't anyone notice his guitar is a real Flamenco that has real "Old School" Friction Pegs? Someone Converted!!!!! Sooner or later the art takes you where it all began!!!!

B. Nuvamsa....

[Sibol666]

Beautiful thank you for this :)

[TheFallingSnowflakes]

i have listened to this well over 40 times and still can not get enough of it! amazing!

[darkhood66]

can i install nylon strings on a acoustic guitar, which have chrome tuning pegs ? pls help !

[Rel6956]

HELL NO!!!!!! DON'T EVEN TRY....

[darkhood66]

i've already tried ;) and it sounds wonderful

[Rel6956]

Ok, but remember your guitar is designed for the tension of steel strings only and vice-versa. You can do harm to your guitar in the long run.

[brolynfera]

Bravíssimo!! Congratulation!

[bigscaryboat]

cant stop looking at your hat.

digging the riffs man.

[leopower7]

what is the first song plz?

[kainenrayne]

I am so proud of you Sir Robert. Do you still have my mandolin?

[seasharpdeflat]

nice

[mulotwo]

That sounds great ! Cool style !

[metal4life109]

great sound, horrible right hand technique

[elliottjb7]

idiot!

[gregandrian]

dude that was awesome.i just started to learn guitar on my own but i will be sutisfied if i make it to have the half of your skills......maybe in a half century from today

[NYswordsman]

This sounded good, I mean for somebody who dresses like that.

(was that a back handed compliment?)

beautiful work

[sgtkiko]

lol

[ollyoslo]

NYswordsman ... he cud be wearing a dinosaur costume for all i care he put a video on here so we could listen to how he plays guitar not criticize his fashion sense ....and Rob that guitar was beautiful mate !

[X7NIRVANA7X]

almost sounds like a piano...

[curramaru]

excellent

[75egcg]

this guy is obviously an educated guitarist with a good deal of talent! He also dresses like a douche bag....

Happy back handed compliment day

[kitsuhiko]

you idiot. that's not even a back handed compliment...that's a straight compliment followed by a straight insult.

[ChilledLemons]

i no, that really good ass cocky motha fucker.

[PhlegmEcstasy]

Kid at my school plays just as crazy as this guy.

They're both really great.

I love music like this.

[spidaarMAN]

soooo... yeh. i relay like clasical guitar and this is the coolist shit ever. does anyone have any names for this or somthing like it that i can get tabs for?

... ps im not a beginner or new to classical guitar im just having trouble finding more music like this that is good

[motley0crue12]

hey i wonder if anyone can help..

i just brought a classical guitar. its tuned..i think..im not a beginner. im killer on the electric..but im having a problem..

the lowest strings (EAD) have no definition...they sounds blurred when i play a chord, no matter what chord..you cant make it out..because its so blurred. the high strings are fine. but not these ones. anyone know what could help me????

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

Maybe new strings would help? Try Savarez strings.

[shredmaster47]

you probly strung it weird, might as well just take it to a shop and have them do a full set up and you'll be good for awhile

[VAMP173]

I think the top strings (EAD) need to be intonated.

because i had the same problem with my guitar too and thats how i fix the problem:)

[tankbrute6]

holy shit.

[JumaruP]

hey robby, i ve been watchin you for years now

I know its your own personal style and flavor, i mean i can recognise a composition of yours from miles away...

But i have a question if you ever bother reading comments. Do you ever play normal tuning ? I d love to hear something different, less dark, more uplifting !!

No offence, i love your work so far... big fan :D

[Rel6956]

To me, their is no such thing as a 'normal tuning' for guitars. I would never limit myself to that notion. That being said, I do a great deal of work in concert tuning over the course of 10 cd's. As far as dark... one man's dark is another man's light to the gods. It is only through divine providence that I get to convey a small fraction of the 'music of the spheres'. You see, ALL music has already been composed for us anyway. We merely act as a conduit, a sort of soft machine receiver. REL

[Doublejeebus]

steel string ones sound so much better!!!

[gserpas]

beautiful sound, beautiful tone and execution. Well Done!!

[fizzlemcgee]

this guy is awesome, how long u played guitar for

[GTRrocker666]

Can I put nylon strings on my regular acoustic guitar or do I need a specific type of guitar to fit the strings?

[DiegusMaximus]

i tried to put nylons on my dreadnaught and they slipped out of the bridge hole. yeah you probably need a classical guitar where you can actually tie the string onto the bridge

[schecterGman]

i came...i saw..i came real hard....

[sabrakazama]

I don't mean to start shit here, but to all those who say that metal requires more skill than this, think about this little fact, Shredding just builds upon what your fingers are built to do (run up and down real easily) Jazz/Classical puts your fingers in ackward uncomfortable, dare I say, Unnatural positions for an extended period of time.

[sabrakazama]

The flip side to that is that there is no 1 real style of guitar playing that requires more "skill" than another. Think about how you all were when you first started a fuckin' barchord was a pain in the ass but you practiced it until you could play it real well and do all sorts of crazy things with it,In other words all styles,all techniques, all forms of guitar require time and patience. Maybe 1 person is quicker to pick up on Classical/Flamenco than is on Shredding/Metal styles or vice versa

[MarkDoesWork]

@sabrakazama Metal isnt 100% shredding, though. I love metal that doesnt focus on scales as much as it does a fusion of melodic guitar riffs, epic vocals and lyrics, and precise drums. I love both classical and metal, and this guy's solo was epic.

[888JimJam888]

@sabrakazama

I don't mean to start shit but arguing that one takes more skill is rather pretetious

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

@sabrakazama this is true in some respects, i recently started classical guitar after 2 years on electric. I could do all the shredding, sweeping and multi-fingered tapping but merely the chordal dimensions of classical guitar was so complex compared to the simple scale and arpeggio shaped stuff i had been doing on electric. Classical is easily the hardest thing to play on the guitar

[musicmaster158]

this guy has more skill than any metal guitarist!

[piebeforedawn]

NOt chris broderick or ma batio

[asshole92]

Batio maybe, but Broderick knows a shitload of theory and can play classical like no one else, MAB has SOME melodic songs, but it's mainly wankery,

[crustdoompunkmetal]

rape

[lloydyzilla]

someone tell me that what that guy is doing right there takes less skill than a metal guitarist for example and il gladly slap you with a wet fish ..really i will !

[RFawakhiri92]

lol

[logboy1]

you deserve allot more credit for this my friend allot more.

[ayjayguitar93]

Absolutely AMAZING!

[set6the6word6afire]

fuck.....i came ....

[Skjoldr16]

cool.

[t3knology]

wow

[Brandon75689]

Was that just open Phrygian?

[Agustinilla31]

perfecto ,the only thing that make the guitar playing verdadero,is the feeling about what you re´playing.

smooth

thanks for the video

[arcticbushpilot123]

Dude, you make me SICK watching this cuz it reminds me of how badly I suck at playing this style of music!!!

Shred on bro, you rock!!!

[PetruBecker4Rusty]

what is the name of the song?

[tartaringus]

ya zebi ! ya3tik saha khona macha a llah

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

this is what I look for in someone playing a classical guitar , damn, is this guy self-taught?

[Rel6956]

YES. SELF-TAUGHT

[Azaelius]

He really loved the DADGAD tuning, and I gotta tell ya, after learning to play Baraka (for the most part) and learning a ton of celtic songs, I'm starting to adore it too.

^_^

[Azaelius]

*loves, not loved.

Last time I checked he was still with us.

XD

[ibanez776]

Is, not was

[humswhilehepees]

L O FUCKING L !!

[Azaelius]

You too.

^_^

[SrXu]

olé|

[cafdo]

Beautiful.

[renob12]

i know hes got a capro but what tuning is he in?

someone tell me

[Rel6956]

LOW TO HIGH...DADGAD

[Enemyofreali7y]

Capro?

CAPO

[TravelingBlackbirds]

dude relax its probably just a typo.

[renob12]

chill man

i just made a typo

it was 3 am when i typed that

[Enemyofreali7y]

I'm not pissed

it's caps lock lmao

[LivingDeadBeat010]

insane.

[esposoman]

Great stuff for a "not-spanish" guy.Most of the times,guitar players who try to play "flamenco" guitar,can't give that "duende" (a.k.a. feeling)to their perfomance,but this guy is different.

If you like this kind of guitar style,check some videos or music of Tomatito,Vicente Amigo or Paco de Lucia.

[Graniteful]

I totally agree

[eastlakelax2]

Any1 know the name of the song?

[Rel6956]

THIS IS JUST AN IMPROVISED WARMUP. REL

[Mynameisjoel92]

first comment. :)

thats fucking madddd

[Minekom2007]

woooww !!
