[Kiwictor]

Yeah, U R good, man! Cool!

[srbaran]

I like the part where he pulls out the e-bow.

[juanmsj]

Este tipo es argentino! q grosoo

[Liese75]

@juanmsj Es argentino, de Olavarría, primo de mi amigo Alejandro y yo lo ví tocar una versión de Adios Nonino de Piazolla, que te para los pelos de la nuca!

[Adoniram1986]

Ah que cabron!

[nowwhatnapster]

Every time I watch this video it never fails to amaze me. Chapman stick + loops = awesome.

[diegomacomer]

una cosa divina!

[lmw289]

He likes to use looping alot. Do I have a problem with that? Hell no!!!!!!! He's awesome, looping or not!!!!!!!!

[pr0llyn0t]

That playing and looping sounded amazing!

[ER052092]

which Bach song is he playing?

[repene1234]

Passacaglia

[WhelanBass945]

This guy is absolutely incredible.

I wish I could afford one of those...

[roquet]

Genio! flipe hace 3 años ya viendolo en directo

[KirkDickinson]

That is called an ebow. Google it.

Tuve la oportunidad de compartir el escenario en Tlaxcala Mexico en un evento de rock, la verdad es que me dejo sorprendido el grado de creatividad y sentimiento aparte de su excelente ejecución para mi es el mejor stickista del mundo y al platicar con el me di cuenta que su humildad y sencillez como persona es lo que lo hace ser tan grande. Gracias por tu musica Guillermo un saludo desde Tlaxcala Mexico

Este tipo es un grossso mal, es realmente un orgullo que sea argentino, para demostrarle al mundo el talento de nuestro pais

[ToRiToWaPo]

Increible, emocionante, maravilloso... tuvimos la ocasion de poder verlo junto a Pepe Bao en la Universidad Popular de Jaen.

Bueno, que se puede decir, poder disfrutar de este tema en vivo, es algo dificil de explicar. Me emocioné y se me saltaron las lagrimas y no soy lo que se dice un entendido en musica clasica, pero es que esto ya es otra historia.

Recomiendo a todo aquel que pueda ver a Guillermo Cides que lo haga, es un genio.

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582

[mikepulcinella]

Amazing! Bach is smiling down from heaven!!

[saveusmilkboy]

it's like an orchestra of electric guitars and clavichembalos. amazing!

[Tim6554]

What happened at the end, he like stopped playing but the music continued

[xenotoxette]

He looped some of the track

[natanzuelo]

He explains at the beggining that he will use a Loop recorder to capture each part, and play over it... he is recording live!

[olsonuf9]

A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Bach pieces ever! *****

[skeetwad2007]

That was so incredible! I wish I could do that!

[mufasamusic]

whoa! huge dot inlays! Very distracting.....great performance though.

[Johanofsweden]

Mezmerizing :)

[firebird116]

amazing. I love how at the end, after he's created it all, he just stands there to finish it.

[muthashipconxon]

AMAZING is an understatement!  my all time favorite Bach piece being played in an innovative way... I didn't think it could get any better, but then he produces the e-bow?!

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

Anyone know what type of looper or effects he's using?

[olsonuf9]

Excellent! This is one of my favorite pieces of all time and he has performed it beautifully! I love how it sounds on the stick too!

[PapitantryTV]

What about the fugue?

[RocketRalf]

Finally a modern arrangement of Bach that brings something new and different while respecting the original work (oops :P)

[zappafile]

If yoo like Bach you should hear Jacques Loussier then as that is exactly what he does. Piano, drums and Double bass. Great reinvention of Bach with out going all elevator music about it.

[jaapbaart]

I agree, but I still like the Chapman stick, beautifull instrument, also Bach's music on the "Moog" synthesizer by Walter Carlos. Bach is timeless, you can play his music in all different styles, classic modern, jazz, it's always beautifull

[Epsylon9]

Eso si que es musica...

oh es una lagrima que me esta saliendo :)

Gracias por este momento

[ArrowTiger]

Thank you so very much!

You might be the reason me getting a Stick again. I sold mine more than a decade ago due to lack of time. Would I have known such beautiful music be playable on a Sick I might have kept it! ;-)

Your performance is outstanding beautiful. You really touched my heart with this Bach tune.

[squatog2]

played on a Sick ??

[ArrowTiger]

Well, must have been stick writing this. ;-)

Sorry for the typo...

[PapitantryTV]

The technique is somewhat similar to the way a clavicord works. Bach rocks, especially in C minor.

[lcarlosrosado]

ufff que locura... wow

[JaphletBA]

De los mejores del mundo!!!

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Brilliant! That is such an awesome work. Amazing arrangement!
