Brice Delage - The Rite Of Spring - Electric Guitar version

[tonyclements]

I'll be conducting this work in May. I am REALLY enjoying this version. I'd like to see a video of you actually playing this ...

[MarkoZorec]

Amazing...

[careri196]

what a work!!! :D

[StrawberryWindex]

Absolutely amazing. One of my favorite pieces of all time has just become even more memorable. Perfect! (Would love to hear another Stravinsky bit, Petrushka or even the Firebird?)

[MichaelCox]

Holy crap, here I was expecting the rocked up version of fantasia and you somehow got a guitar to sound just like the original orchestra instead.

[MeticulousGuitarist]

This is amazing! Keep up the great work! I've never heard anything like this!...Well actually I have... but you know what I mean. Excellent job!

[theclandestinum]

This is fucking amazing. The only bad part (and not really a criticisim)

Is that sometimes it just sounds like the actual orchestra hahahaha

[Maglorz]

Pure geniality.

You should do a video with you playing all this in different frames

[AzafreakSM]

3:10 So realistic. Awesome work.

[MarkoZorec]

Bravo!!!

[haimcito]

excellent travail, direct à mes favoris!!!

[Grandmasterbirch]

incredible!

[NevinJarek]

wow, i think wamy sounds lame, very lame. I would have much preferred it mostly clean, with some parts with distortion, but no octave dividers and phasers. Are you using chorus? ...

[beedoovideo]

@NevinJarek You have to do with what you have on board, that's the rule ! No chorus used. Clean won't work, it respects too much the natural sound of the guitar, which is not the point here ! ;-)

[NevinJarek]

@beedoovideo Well, timbre isn't such an important element as the ones intrinsic in the particular piece. I still believe it would have sounded better with different effects, and a bit lower at the octaves at times. Still it is the best non-orchestral version on youtube.

[BillWalkerGuitar]

@NevinJarek , How can you possibly criticize this work? have you seen this score? the variety of timbres he is using to create this out of a handful of sound options is remarkable. show a little love for the effort involved to recreate this piece, We all wish we had state of the art gear and mastering tools.

[NevinJarek]

@BillWalkerGuitar Im not criticizing the 'work', I know its a lot of work, I have seen the score and I have worked on it on my piano. Im just saying that I think the whammy sounds lame. Sounds like a sponge bob funny thing to me. I think it would have sounded better with only distortions, or clean, I just dont like whammy...

[mangacharlus]

Chapeau bas ! Magnifique ! ! amazing !

[lennyranallo]

this is simply amazing! it just goes to show the tonal possibilities of the guitar and modern technology

[maruyo94]

siempre quise sacar este hermoso tema en la guitarra, es hermoso (L)

[cronin098]

Can you show me the sheet music for this? Or is it literally just a replica of the original sheet music?

[polylyth]

Well done, this is absolutely fantastic, an exemplary demonstration of the universe of sound available to the modern guitar player. Couldn't have picked a better piece, either.

[brunoyukio]

This is just amazing!

You should write a paper about the timbral research that you made on this piece!

[RegencyAvenue]

What chord do you use for at 3:14-3:20?

[RogueRotting360]

@RegencyAvenue That's a polychord (two chords sounding at once) of E underneath, and an Eb7 above. Probably double (or multi) tracked for guitar. From bottom to top - E-G#-B-E-G-Bb-Db-Eb.

The sounds it creates is something called polytonality - in this case bitonality.

[AlvyDan]

Incredible!!!You are a genius!!!

[quelasol]

Clearly a labor of love! I like that in general you're not trying to duplicate all the instrument timbres as precisely as possible but rather trying to capture the spirit of each change of instrumentation.

[mindguitar]

freakin' amazing!

[meowkie]

I didn't expect this to be as beautiful as it is! Fantastic job. :) <3

[SawyerAlb]

wonderful job!!!

[emilygclarinet]

Wow!!!

[youtert]

That's amazing how well you created the different orchestra sounds.

[Aikobako]

perfect

[tritonus656]

This is the coolest! i woud love to have this on mp3! wear can i get it?

[beedoovideo]

Thanks !

This track will certainly be included on the forthcoming Classical Animals album. You may check 125Studio on Youtube, or simply type Classical Animals.

[Judingo]

How can I get this?

[Judingo]

Thank fofr this, I love hearing this so much

[thunderlola]

Brilliant!

[holokinesis]

Brilliant work! A guitarist that knows what he's doing. =]

Keep up the great work!

[tummysticks80]

nice cover, sounds amazing. sounds like you used an e-bow on many of the parts

[IPlayGuitar19]

this is fucking genius.  did you do the rest also?

[akarosebud]

Seriously, the sounds, timing, even the levels are perfect. I don't know how you did this but it is an amazing feat.

On the drum parts, are those just drums or some sort of more amazing guitar magic?

[beedoovideo]

Thanks !

For the timpani, I used 3 guitar sounds :

- Dead notes strumming for the attack

- 2 octaves down (whammy) with open strings for bass resonance

- Crossed strings for the drumhead sound.

[juliandunn]

this is great

[beedoovideo]

Thank you, Everyone !!!

[125Studio]

Thank you, everyone !!!

[TranscendingMusic]

Oh man, wow. Stravinsky and guitar,my two favorties in one. Outstanding work here

[Decayedguitar]

holy shit this is amazing! I've always wanted to hear this.

[ninjanun]

woah, all of this with just guitar. Great job, that's quite special.

[Maglorz]

amazing

[LordoftheJimmy]

Wow dude! That was amazing. Not just the playing, but the sounds you got from your guitar were just fantastic!

[qilldmgg]

Such a beautiful song...

it took ages for people to realize its beauty... and I think you did an amazing job with the cover

[LazyBastard69]

@qilldmgg It's NOT a song per se

[BrainiacFingers]

Impressive!

[noiseintoner]

Ive been working on this idea for year, on and off. This is beyond excellent, and I am thrilled to hear this realization

[pseudoalpha4real]

awesome, totally awesome!!! very professional and it adhered to the standards of classical musicians MUCH better than these other guitarists that try to turn bach into heavy metal.

[adilghanty]

lol malmsteen. what a fail. this is amazing

[mejsjalv]

Nice! I wonder how long did this guy worked on the piece, must have taken such a long time.

[dauneesixstring]

wow!

respect!!!

[GreggaryPeccary]

Pretty awesome job! Nice timbral effects

[BruzzelBruno]

wow, that's amazing. I didn't believe it would be possible to cover this difficult song on guitar before I heard this!
