* If Only you Knew * Composer: Pierre Bensusan

[heavytetal]

Muy bonito eso que tocas.. tocas muy bien.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Fantastic, what is your guitar ? is it a short scale ?

[jkshoujk]

What guitar is that? That is a beautiful tone!

[michelecavaliere52]

Really impressive! Bensusan is so great, and difficult playing too! BRAVO!

[frmertd]

wonderful!

[daddadpfc]

I really enjoy all your playing but especially this and Silent Passenger. Hope to hear something else from you soon.

[scrupuleux1]

Vous êtes extraordinaire et je ne me lasse pas

[dagrote]

Merci! Great job on a very difficult piece, particularly at 1:41- , which is nearly impossible to make sound smooth and clean. You also brought your own personality into it, a rare thing for covers of Bensusan. Magnificent touch!

[Qpidon]

@dagrote Many thanks for your kind words, Dale! I admit: I worked rather very hard on this at the time. I still play it now and than and...it is a great tune indeed. But with the "Platters" in mind, you have to play this "Smooth"

Kind regards,

Pascal

PS: gratias ago vos pro saluto!

[DavidBurtonMusic]

Lovely playing as always....and an inspired improvisation there at the end....;)

[Qpidon]

@DavidBurtonMusic oh, you noticed that=? I have to admit, a friend of mine send me a tape of Bensusan's concert in Belgium, where he ended playing like I TRY here. So it is not really an impro. This being said: I LOVE improvising now with this tune an d maybe yes, one day I'll upload something like that...

[daribenavidez]

Excelente!!!!!!! +10

[flyingmelody63]

Je ne connaissais pas Pierre Bensusan ... c'est magnifique !!! J'adore :))

Merci Qpidon :)

Mélodie

[Qpidon]

@flyingmelody63 si c'est par moi que tu connait Bensusan, alors je suis content :-D

bisouxxx pour toi, Mélodie!

[amccann7]

beautiful, i say it again! you really infuse the music with a brilliant touch

[drbide]

Hi Qpidon...very nice...beautiful and ever the best ... in Chile nobody have the tabs cause this style is few know... where I can to get it? congratulatrions

[Qpidon]

@drbide pierrebensusan com He asks 4 Euro's for them!

Thanks for the nice comment, appreciated!

[TheDreamBeach]

your great gutarist!

beautiful song!

[BirdmanWayne94]

PASCAL! I didn't notice that you uploaded a new video until recently and I have been away from YouTube for the last 2 months. What a nice surprise! Great to see/hear you again... beautiful, as always, my friend. Thanks for sharing! :)

[bradswarrencom]

Beautifully done and so seemingly effortless! You should really be on a stage somewhere:)

[Qpidon]

@bradswarrencom Effortless..? "If only you knew.." how much work went into this! ;-)

[bradswarrencom]

Very awesome playing! And with soul!:)

[angelblue990]

****AWESOME****

[LONGWINDING]

Time to listen to you again;-) Very nice song by Pierre,- I wouldn´t have know him without you, Pascal. That´s another nice thing about YT - we learn about artists we didn´t know before. And I think the big record companies should think about that: "covers" can introduce an artist to the listener! So they shouldn´t react with suspending cover channels. Otherwise we react with no more buying.

Frank

[Qpidon]

@LONGWINDING are you on Facebook, Frank? we had a tread on this subject not long ago...

[LillyC68]

Beautiful tune and playing... I enjoyed listening to you very much!

Best regards,

Lilly

[dakongasakyanan]

aujourd'hui j'ai decouvert un excellent guitarist.....je suis content...j'etais aux philippines pendant quelques temps ou les gens sont foux des guitarres et m'ont fait decouvrir cet instrument a nouveau....merci de berlin, l'allemagne

[Qpidon]

@dakongasakyanan c'est tres gentille ça. Merci de tout coeur!

Pascal

[alexstrat]

Incroyable morceau :-D Et i,croyable de tomber sur un belge :-D Excellent jeu en tout cas, 5 étoiles bien méritées ;-)

A bientôt

Alex

[fariethesun]

You're an excellent guitar player Pascal...Love it!

Friendly hugs, Heidi

[cartoonage]

Nicely played . Sounds a bit complicated to me ( not easy to remember as a tune ,

particulary for elder people like me , hahah )

[Mpoiuz]

Beautiful tune and excellent performance! Congrats!

[Luknopfler83]

Superbe. Quel feeling et quel son ! C'est juste magnifique...

[AnchoriteProductions]

Outstanding Pascal! Wonderful to see a new guitar video from you my friend! A big thumbs up from me on this one!! I know this performance will put a big smile on Pierre's face!! Fabulous playing and sound! By the way, how do you like Cubase? -Derek

[BenPowellGuitar]

@Qpidon Yes. Just opened an account last week :)

[woodwerk01]

Hello my friend,

Just lovely playing, you make that instrument sing Pascal.

Thanks so much for sharing & keep in touch,

Brian

[micallo58]

Hi Pascal! Finally you're back!!! Great tune indeed!

[matthewjameshardin]

Flawless! Beautiful playing. What kind of guitar is that? The neck seems a litle shorter.

[passionpicking]

génialissime :-)

chris

[BenPowellGuitar]

This is just great Pascal, enjoying it again and again!!

Best wishes from Glasgow,

Ben, Andy T and Andy B.

[Genyway]

Pascal is the MASTER +++++!

[Daeteger]

Belle musique et très bonne interprétation, du feeling et une précision dans le jeu de guitare. Bravo !

[Jazzguts]

Pascal very nice playing man, I must say you have made quite a progress these last times here on YT, I think you're really enjoying yourself playing and studying, when you're in this (positive) state of mind,progression is something which naturally follows, very fine playing and beautiful sound, Vic.

[chtiguitare]

Super très jolie

BRAVO 5*****

[grandbib]

du très beau boulot: bravo!

[TravelWithMusic]

Oh my Pascal...I am late, sorry! Excellent my dear friend. You're one of the best guitar player here on You Tube...Love it. All my stars and faved.

Lar

[leocecco]

Hey there,love the tune!...;)

[Gitfiddlemann]

Pascal mon ami,

It's great to see and hear you back again.

And in fine form, as evidenced by your stellar playing. You really get into Bensusan's head when you play these. That must be your secret!

Great stuff!

Andre

[Gangly1]

Top job Pascal.

Why not be like me and try easy tunes?

Hahaha!

You are great sir.

Regards,

Paul

[AndanteLargo]

Hallo Pascal! I am stunned! I LOVE THIS! Hard, but you play it very convincing! Except for the ending!! :-)) Beautiful sound too! Nice to see you back! I asked for this, yes, and you did this only for me, I know... :-)

"il n'y a pas de quoi!"

Ton Ami,

[BriboyW]

Sounds great! That must have taken a long time to learn that piece. Those quick waterfall-like runs are really nice! I like the new recording gear too!

[SimplyLuo]

Great to see you back!! Beautiful, as usual

Jon

[ngertch]

Beautiful.

Welcome back

[Qpidon]

un grand merci, Jean-Hugues!

[CHICAOSBAND]

@Qpidon

De nada... Te he entendido bien, Pascal...

Aún no encontré la original, pero lo mismo le diría a él...

Es lo malo, ???... de pasar los 40 años...

te cansas de ser correctamente ético, y comienzas a ser más sincero..., es mi caso... Tiene un precio, claro, y es que dejas de tener tantos amigos...

Buena suerte por el sur, Pascal...

Ojo !! Tu joues tres bien, ça reste tres claire... A la prochaine !!!

[deltahotel1]

I enjoy your playing very much.

[Qpidon]

thank you jsut so much!

[CHICAOSBAND]

No se..., no conozco la melodçia y es verdaderamente dificil tocarla, lo se, pero... me la imagino mas lenta ¿ no..?

Por lo menos a mi me entraria mejor...

Lo siento, digo lo que pienso...,

Un saludo, Opidon ¡

[edudzzaj]

great playing, beautiful guitar, sounds great

[TianYouHsieh]

OH~WELCOME BACK!!

It's nice to see you play this tune~~

[losshack]

Pascal, its great to see one of the best youtube players back, loved this video!

[lowdinos]

what a perfect comeback !! thanks for uploading this beautiful tune, I'd enjojed every single note!

[coriolan92isback]

J'étais tout triste en voyant mes favoris se vider de toute contribution ... jusqu'à ce matin!

Quel comeback! Welcome back, Pascal!

[gfilip]

Great playing Pascal. Nice to find out this new upload and hear your nice Alhambra singing again! :)

[pcheeseman1957]

It's great to hear you play again Pascal! More please...

[Qpidon]

PAul! ;) I will post more soon. (how's summer down there?;)

[pcheeseman1957]

Hot!!! although we are getting a good patch of rain at the moment that is keeping the temp down.. it's great to hear you play again.. do you have any original tunes? I love you playing the covers but I am interested in hearing your tunes also.. 5 stars my friend, you are a wonderful guitar player :)))

[porsche217]

Hi Pascal,

a real brilliant comeback after 16 months of YT absence with own uploads. May be one of your best decisions to upload this "try" prior to being perfect on the whole equipment !

I enjoyed each single note. Thank you.

Cheers from Lemgo/Germany

Bernd

[xusen008]

good to see you back. cubase can be a pain but hey, that's what being professional takes, right?

[gskarogiannis]

Hi Pascal, welcome back, wonderfull playing and piece. Bensusan rules!!!

Greetings from Greece

George

[Legrattouilleux]

Vraiment tres joli et en plus tres bien joué.

Bravo

[archtopbrownie]

Pascal - You should never apologize for your playing. I sit here in awe of how beautifully you play and the look of pure enjoyment on your face. Your love of the music is reflected in the way it sounds.... just wonderful. Thanks and 5x5*****

[GuitarSlingerPK]

Fantastic song! Like Masaaki Kishibe, I had only discovered Bensusan through your videos. It's good to see you back again ^_^. I have been hesistant to record anything myself for my equipment is very poor, but I hope to have a nicer setup very soon! Great playing! Not sure how big of a crossover there is between Bensusan fans and Japanese anime, but I like both so I thought it's worth mentioning that Bensusan does a track on the Cowboy Bebop OST vol. 2 titled "ELM" ,beautiful song!

[bdclassicalguitarist]

Beautiful!

- Ben

[micallo58]

Great return Pascal!

[iamjezuzchrist]

Is the 20 frets? BTW your playing has come a long way. Hard to believe it was only a couple years a go that you decided to pick up again. Very admirable.

[Qpidon]

Yes, I have been playing loads recently (barely legal, actually ;))

20th frets?

Warm regards,

Pascal

[iamjezuzchrist]

Yeah theres 20 frets on your guitar. Its a very nice guitar. Keep it up and keep uploading.

[Zander4724]

absolutely lovely! fantastic tune and delicately played!

[Qpidon]

Hoi Zander!

I feel honored you dropped by.. I love your play. But you know that allready ;))

Thanks for your encouraging comment,

Pascal

[ScottAIIyn]

Pascal!! I almost missed this one. Your playing is awesome, as always! 'Glad that you're back & sharing some tunes!

[Qpidon]

Scott man...ages I have not heard anything from you! (well, its more my fault...) but great reading you here again!

Stay tuned as more will follow soon! :))

your friend,

Pascal

[dgialloreto]

wow!  new beautiful work.

bravo.

[Qpidon]

well thank you..!

[freddh2]

Ah, Pascal, quel bonheur de te retrouver !

Maintenant que tu es un musicien bionique (ah! ah!) nous allons être encore plus gâtés qu'auparavant :)

Amitiés

-Fred

[bikesnguitars]

Beautifully done!!

 Dave

[scrubmacdub]

aaah this is one of my favourite bensusan tracks. beautifully played as i've come to expect :) im also back on youtube with a new vid or two, have a look if you get a mo. all the best,

ben

[oldwhtman]

Of course, I liked the tune. I guess I should have mentioned that. 802MB?  That explains alot. So, one has to upload a giant video file to get Youtube to leave the audio track alone. I've tried to make my videos as small as possible without sacrificing audio quality, but youtube trashes the audio of smaller videos apparently. Thanks for the info.

[tonedr]

boy is this pretty! Love the voicings and your playing is just so filled with feeling and emotion! You give me a lesson with every video you share. This is just great - your friend,

dale

Really great - played with the same sweet touch and feeling as Pierre himself

[Qpidon]

well, Pierre's still an entire different dimension, realy. But I'll keep trying....one day, one day maybe ;))

Thank you just so much.

Pascal

[Heronymusic]

Yes Pascal! This was certainly worth waiting! I know you make a lot of people happy with posting your gift again! Is that a new Alhmabra by the way? Best regards Jeroen

[stringbound]

Five stars are not enough for your take on this song.

[Fr3derick]

Beautiful!!!

Grandma mary

[RobertoColombo]

[Qpidon]

Very nice of you: certainly appreciated!

Pascal

Take care my friend!

[pvail06]

@Qpidon  Hi Pascal . Its been a buisy year but I will have a new tune up next week.

Peter.

[Qpidon]

yes, same here: busy year. I look foreward to your next uplaod, Peter!

[mad9021]

Oh yes, it's so great to have you back ;-D The Zoom H4n really captures the "personality" of your Alhambra. With the use of Cubase, I guess your sound will be too good for my cheap headset ;)

Your performance is excellent as always!

Best wishes

Mads

[oldwhtman]

Well, it' s about time you came back. And you're coming through the internet crystal clear. I tried playing this video in 'HD' and it would constantly freeze up, but it looks and sounds great in 360p. How big a video file was this, anyway? It must have been enormous.

[derekroolz]

Just beautiful :D 5*

[progressivo2]

Beautifull tune

[pabzum]

It's wonderful to have you back, and even more so in such style! Very very good. AND you look so happy.

[Qpidon]

Pablo!!

Oh I am so happy to have you here! Its been just soo long I forgot how nice it can be ;) Thanks for your encouraging words.

Also, I was AMAZED with your magnificent orchestrational work you did recently in Japan.... I watched ALL those videos and I had a blast (what a work,: it seemed you moved mountains!!) hopefully we will see you solo again soon?

[dadgadjohn]

Welcome back, my friend. I have missed your excellent and heart felt playing.

[pvail06]

Hi Pascal

Good see a new vid from you . You are playing and sounding good. Good choice of tune.

Peter 5*****

Pascal le retour !! Et quel retour. C'est une joie de te voir et t'entendre. Il ne sont pas nombreux ceux qui peuvent capter le groove bensusanesque, tu en fais partie. Et en plus tu y prends du plaisir, ça se voit. Encore please... Amitiés. Fred

[Qpidon]

Le style de commentaire qui m'émotionne profondément.... Je suis un tres grand fan de toi, Fred. Mon rêve c'est de pouvoir composer un jour comme toi...: c'est tellement *beau* ce que tu fait...
