Paganini Fifth Caprice - Mehmet Polat

[kazemshamseddine]

disguisting!!! this is not what a oud is suppose to sound like! you're ruining a beautiful instrument!!

[matiooliel]

how about uploading a new video of this piece? i assume in 5 years you might have reached more accuracy with the pitch? i know that the Oud is fretless and when playing authentic music, inaccuracy is part of it and it actually sounds good, but if you play a classical piece, that's a different story.

[Liantotjahjoputro]

Wowww greattttt

[ofwaa]

01:46  :)

[TejasM14]

But that said that is not your fault, this caprice is not meant for this instrument. You are a great artist, but this interpretation doesn't cut it.

[TejasM14]

horrible!

[dowlinghulme]

Rofl Copter, love how you really get the most outta ya mandolin all the way down to the bridge!!!!!

[skeleton0578]

dude that is just amazing, bravo chap!!!

[axkmster]

awesome song on any instrument but that was insane!!! ala jason becker...

on a mini 12 string thing...Bravo...You f...ing rule dude..You would probably master anything with strings...Somebody throw that man a strat :)

Great job !!!

[musicnottee]

mr mehmet,ur both right and left hand technique is powerful,,i have never seen an oud player simillar to how easy u do it,,,i have read some bad comments from none oud players,,pls DO NOT listen to them.

ur brother oud player from saudi arabia ahmed.

[Neltheros]

the range of your fingers is amazing!

[prantare]

lol I love this! great sharing

[BradDeLorenzo]

It's the 90's dude. Get a guitar.

[h4s4t4n]

@BradDeLorenzo Actually...the 90's was two decades ago. Did you know the first violin (Byzantine lira) was used as far back as the 9th century CE? Did you know people still play violins to this very day? Anyway...not trying to call you "stupid" or "ignorant" or anything like that (for I play guitar as well: google "Oppress the Brave myspace" to listen to some of my work), but this man has much more talent than you may ever hope to attain. Bravo, Mehmet Polat.

[mizraplihayat]

ilginç bir tavır hocam...başarılar dilerim..

[Parnell50]

Jesus...

[anasamati]

Those types of songs are not for Luth, you are making Luth ugly. Don't do this again

[NeufilmsInc]

@anasamati wouldn't have been SO bad, but since he had to go off the fretboard... yah... things got kinda ugly. then the end was really sloppy too... gotta agree with you man.

[ouichtan]

@anasamati

Those types of comments are not for humans, you are making humans ugly. Don't write this again

[anasamati]

@ouichtan lol

[ouichtan]

@anasamati Glad you've got a sense of humour haha. Thanks for not being offended

[Flakevee]

lol huge fingers 

[veguixor]

[grupfeza]

bu yoruma ancak helal olsun denir. denecek başka bir laf yok

[mftaa77]

نشاز العمر في هالمقطوعه مافيها اي طرب

لكن عليه اصابع !!!

حاولت افتح السبابه والوسطي بمساعدة يدي الثانيه وعجزت افتحها نص فتحه اصابعه شكل فيه مشكله في يده الانسان ذا

[alkoolblue]

:) Impressive:)

[495909]

hahaha thats pritty cool if ya ask me..just one thing is that a fretless instrument because that would make it a whole lot more cooler than it already is lol

[guitarismylife132]

i believe its awesome.

[babyscarer]

I don't see the point.

[XxViolinmetalxX]

he visto cosas increibles en youtube, pero el capricho 5 tocado en esa mierda es de respeto,

[carlosflamenco]

eso que ase este señor es imprecionante!!!!

[billsswills]

very cool mehmet! are ouds even tuned for western scales? that's a great job!

[Indoorplanes]

لا تنظر الى الاصابع واسمع

في نشاز والمقطوعه ما فيها حس تكنيك فقط

وهذا رايي

[ulasantmen]

emeğine sağlık hocam muhteşem olmuş..

[skelet40o0]

STUPID INSTRUMENT

[gitarcla]

Great！

[alkh0bani]

جميل بس فيه نشاز welldone .. but you may need to train lil abit more

[404ha]

أهنيك ع الموهبه

بالتوفيق

[jeffkid9999]

@ 0:15, there is no enough fingerboard? hahaha

[davidamarat]

Amazing! This Caprice just likes me more than Becker (guitar) and that little chinese girl (violin)

[nicoejz]

You must have worked hard to play wonderfully this PAGANINI caprice so, CONGRATULATIONS!

[shadowboxer2024]

look at his right rist can you say carpal tunnel?

[CaptainNensho]

very bad.

[n9abq8]

amizng what's the bad it's hard and great

[XxXxs3ph1r0thxXxX]

...and i managed to neglect to notice that it is also fretless.. and which one of those is the sound hole? lol

[XxXxs3ph1r0thxXxX]

11? that is a random-ass number of strings.. it looks like theyre not octaved, just doubled except for the heaviest.. anyway nice playing, even though i have no idea what ur playing... but u need some more frets man lol u deserve to be more well-equipped

[perromanchado]

well done.

[hunter1111ful]

Ne yani şimdi bu? Onemli olan dogru sese basmaktır. Beni sahsen tatmin etmedi bu gosteri. Bir suru falso var arkadasım.

[1955anthony]

Ugly sound ugly playing and one stupid pice of music

[legendaryRose]

aman!!! wow

[RefikTalat]

1.40'ta taksim başlıyor diye sevindik ama kısa sürdü. 3.49'da çalanın da dinleyenin yüzünü güldüren kendi müziğimize geçiş de güzellemesi olmuş. Udla batı müziği git-mi-yor.

[warrkrymez]

lol @ 3:20 they cut it, and he looked a the camera.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

mage como se llama esa mierda??

what's the instrument name???

[Flagellum9532]

It's "ud"

It's as old as ottoman empire. a Turkish instrument.

[GoldenSowrd82]

the oud was invented many years before the ottoman empire

[nayachik]

he sucks

[anyolguitar]

Oh my god.....oh my god.......oh my god.......

[hillaroo666]

He's great but the instrument is very annoying.

[lmcgs]

Abi sen naptın ya :)

[Homieg89]

that cant be good for your right hand

[semicroma]

you mean left hand?

[Homieg89]

no, look at the way he's picking

[BSA2417666]

yeah arabian lute

[marcelito11]

WHAT A BOSS!!!!

[emanuel1771]

[aminakim]

Tebrik ederim çok güzel olmuş..

[murisv]

Well done Mehmet! :)

[yngwiemalmsteen8]

[murisv]

Oud

[Iceberg211989]

lmfao

[MADEINMAIDEN]

[deanneugebauer]

He obviously doesn't need them.

[mirkozucc]

bravissimo

[MuzykGitarzysta]

The sound is awful.

[opidacul]

wow incredible!!!!!!!!!!!

[hexatonia]

Now I've seen everything

[muaddib1st]

Paganini on the oud? Interesting.

[ZeppelinRules]

No they're all there but it does look weird. I think its the way he stretches.

[freeatlast1963]

WOW that was amazing

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

wtf is wrong with his strings god this is weird

[deedidee]

lol 11 strings my bad... before the youtube police incarcerate me in random emaildom ;)

[GoldenSowrd82]

this instrument doesn't have 11 strings mate, it actually has 5 doubled strings and 1 single string..

cheers

[deedidee]

WOW never seen this attempted on anything with 12 strings!

great stuff!!

[thpeter]

Bravo! Amazing.

[maxwelloliveira]

Fantástico!!!!!!!! ,':-D

[TheCellarGuardian]

Such a great work! I play guitar, so I don't know, but your technique seems really incredible to me!

[ma55imiliano]

Hi, among all the players in u tube you play with the touch and rithm I prefer. Good!! some guitar players do not see you have no freet as a violin, probably is more difficult..

[delas888]

excellent. you are much better musician than any other guy around here. thank you for this fabulous video.

[oudsaund1974]

buneya! sende udmu çaldığını zannediyosun! bu işi cılkını çıkardınız! bu enstrüman asil bir çalgıdır,soytarılığa gerek yok ya bu nedir böyle duygusuz duygusuz....

[LnDgrthelefty]

that did npt sound good at all... but your are probably the best and the only one to play this song on a.... oud??

[seth3556r]

Horrible!

[cyruss189]

LOL. That was the best performance on ...... whatever it was. Any way good job.

[CyValkarion]

@cyruss189 Oud i think... OLD Middle eastern instrument. and NO SHIT! it's freakin hard to play those.

[000fabien]

@cyruss189 its a loot

[fuse5a]

@cyruss189 Its called "Oud" a middle eastern instrument similar to the loot.

[DonnieBrasco20]

van chefim iisin

[Tow0]

Dude! your fingers are sick! i play guitar myself but that looks inhumane lol, especially the index finger.. i could never put it in such positions. Meant as compliment

[gugi0o]

Nice to see oriental musicians play western stuff :D

[janchaaan]

cool one :D

[iliask22]

ilahsın abim ilah:)

[RemingtonG3]

your oud is not good as u ..

[alsetn]

Wow! I couldn;t do that in 100 years.

[FFXGuitar]

Didn't sound very good, but I know its a non-fretted instrument, so it must have been extremely hard to play!

[PadreGarib]

incredible

[entreated]

WOW?

[caardo91]

haha! nice experiment!!!

[mikedirnt96]

Nice :) I'd like to see a metal oud, with a floyd trem and a cutaway :L

[Shortstacklover]

There's no sustain on an oud so no use for a floyd.

[halentien]

Astounding !!!...Very good...

[rata373]

beatifull man. Congratulations. very good job. FANTASTIC e inedit

[x665x]

give back that to yer dads, you're gonna break it. brute!

at least learn to play that properly.

[GoldenSowrd82]

this is an unfretted instrument, it is way much difficult and complicated than the guitar.

if you don't anything about music then just continue watching your porn movies dickhead

[x665x]

if that's a youtube porn then is good as anything else. ...dont need play it hidden

[flimflam0069]

dedicated

[musicmanmoby]

Awesome rendition! Incredible stretches and arabic music innuendos. btw What is he using as a plectrum? seems like some sort of stick!

[german2890]

that lute doesm't have frets???

[GoldenSowrd82]

in Arabic it is called Oud

in Turkish it is Called Ud

both derived from Arabic العود (al-ʿūd, The oud, unlike many other plucked stringed instruments, does not have a fretted neck. This allows the player to be more expressive by using slides and vibrato. It also makes it possible to play the microtones of the Maqam System

[ibualama]

amazing!!!! incredible..

[GoldenSowrd82]

Excellent playing , I actually have never seen any oud player with such left hand technique

good job man

[jakaput]

pain :) GOOD JOB!!

[runeman00]

There's a reason this song was never played on an oud. But good job.

[Ilmatar7]

Agreed.

[caridiago75]

thank you for your sophisticated comment, i just really had to wipe my eyes, listening...

couldn´t say better

[21Mar08myChannel]

A physical accomplishment for sure, but just as surely a musical disaster.

[narhem123]

My left hand hurts watching this video. I play this caprice on classical guitar and I know how difficult it is to play it. I love the ending, this guys must be one monster oud player.

[hsav145]

awsome stretching

[bgaona]

Is it me, or is that the most incredible stretch between the 1st and 2nd finger in string playing?

[perharvar007]

de la puta mare eres increible man sigue asi

[Boghman22]

Sissy FUck FiT!

Great Playing

[muvt21]

ne desem az mükkemmelin ötesinde birşey bu başarılar dilerim...

[YGslayer]

ill suck his dick 2 play like that

[nctyts]

harikasın abi süpersin gurur duydum çok zor ama sesler gayet temiz tek kelimeyle harika.

[esxmerim]

helle olsun kardeş

[lakebodom123]

whats so arab about it does it have a bomb strapped to it

lol

jk

no it was awesome though except the intro you can't hit that note unless you have a violin

[oldspice56]

wow that was not a funny joke

the only arabs with bombs are radical shi'ite muslims, which is less than 1% of muslims bitch

[gatesofdelirium]

grow some testicals please

[muhammedyildirir34]

ud da son nokta paganını calınmasıdır heralde:)tebrıkelr ustune tebrıkler..tebrık etmek bıle az bence.

[lvlartinez1531]

WTF is this? a Banjo??

[ManyaxTheLost]

This is a lute.Stringed instrument prominent in medieval and modern Islamic music, forerunner of the European lute. Dating from the 7th century, it has a pear-shaped body, a fretless fingerboard, a short neck, and a bent-back pegbox with the tuning pegs set in the sides. The gut strings, of which there are often four pairs, are plucked with a plectrum.

[wish4rain]

that is correct , but it is an arab instrument and its called "oud"

[samwatkins75]

that was awesome.

[iviPAGE]

great version!!!

congratulations

[oudsaund1234]

bu nasıl ud icrası kardeşim cılkını çıkardınız artık.....

[ManolitoMystiq]

Mehmet! You here? It's a fellow codarts Flamenco student Manuel speaking.

See ya later at codarts again.

[SAHANEFE]

off baba sen neymişin yaa helal :)

[EvHstyleTaPMaster]

and joe satriani Vais teacher and guitar virtuoso has been quoted as saying that"jason becker is the only guitarist that has no technical boundaries on a guitar"

and yngwie once wrote that the 24th caprice cant be played by any guitarist and a 15 yo jason becker not only played it but recorded it somthing yng satch vai cooley no shredders could do

[lebouski]

that's insane...

[elrojoJazz]

For all the Guitar player out there; the Oud has No Frets and has double strings! Twice as hard to press down accurate notes. This Guy is Amazing! and for those of you that commented about the high notes being weak....thats because he is playing it with out a fret board to press down on! mad hard. Look at his finger strength!! only on youtube!

[FilmForger]

Nice - East meets West

[iamnotkris2]

how does this meet the west again?

[FilmForger]

he's playing an instrument from I assume Greece - he looks Greek - Steve Vai in the movie Crossroads made this Paganni famous again - along with Yngwie - at least to me here in the USA (West) Paganni is from Italy near Greece (East) - it's kinda like a circle of notes.

[iamnotkris2]

but vai didnt write it, he just popularized it. niccollo was french i think. he was director of music for napoleons daughter. oud is arabic, not greek.

[FilmForger]

I wrote Vai - 'made this Paganni famous again' - Niccollo was Born: 1782-10-27. Birthplace: Genoa, Italy. - check it. So if this is an Arabic video it makes it more eastern - right?? Ok satisfied? I am done. Have a Happy New Year -

[EvHstyleTaPMaster]

STEVE VAI DID NOT PLAY THAT YOU DUMMY IT WAS RY COODER LOOK AT THE CREDITS if you remember correctly steve vai could not play it in crossroads hence the karate kid saved his soul... and he only played a single lick from the 5th and the easiest at that jason Becker plays it the best ive seen....

FYI Classical Guitarist Eliot Fisk Plays all 24 caprices on guitar

[FilmForger]

Listen - Ry Cooder (who I've met and told him what a great job he done in crossroads) played the 'Guitar Slide' parts only - Vai played all his parts because he was trained at Berkley and could write every note he played and play every note he wrote (unlike Van Halen who they were goning to use-'Guitar Player Mag 1986'- Vai also played 'Eugene's' version of Paganini's Caprice.

[EvHstyleTaPMaster]

and fyi jason becker recorded the 5th caprice in summer 87 and got diagnosed with ALS not even a year later he was very well known maybe not to people you know..he was known well enough to get the david lee roth gig and everything he has done kills every guitarist if your not a guitarist you have no oppinion on the matter not a logical one anyway

[FilmForger]

Look at my videos and see what kind of guitar player I am - I posted some of my sloppy playing one takers - And if your ear can't hear the difference between Cooder and Vai you need to practice alot more than I thought. That is my OPINION (spelled right)

[FilmForger]

Jason Becker was not heard of until years after. That's the first time I've heard of Fisk. Yngwie plays classical too with alot more energy. Movies are fake buttmunch.

[EvHstyleTaPMaster]

dude ILL READ THE CREDITS AGAIN hell id be glad to see it was Vai im a bigger fan of his than cooders anyway

[trackicon]

FilmForger is right, Steve Vai played all the shreding parts, Cooder did all the slide guitar and other slow blues songs throughout the movie.

[patman2112]

Sounds really cool!

[theoden541]

awesome - eru bless you

mükemmelsin üstad

[grhook]

awesome, yet strange. might i suggest trying it in a key more applicable to your instrument?

[washtubbass]

WONDERFUL !

[humberx]

this insturment is "oud"..it is used in turkish, persian and greek music.

[arda1007]

çok mükemmel.ellerine sağlık

[halay100]

tek kelimeyle helal....
