[saturno553]

Un estudio magistral que por su profundidad sonaria mejor con toque sin uñas

como lo quería Sor.

No se debe tocar por aquí pasó. Falta más espiritualidad.

[UNWIND777]

[pondeflouers]

Исполнение хорошее, гораздо лучше получилось у японской пары, а видеоряд - у американского старика, где вначале - его детская фотография.

[muse643]

nice touch at 2:10....

[muse643]

Ein echter Gitarrist befriedigt die Bedürfnisse seiner Gitarre

vor denen seiner Frau

[Grupoodres]

wonderful this is my favourite

[KIRBYSLAYERm14]

Why moonlight???

[KERKAWIK]

Cos the geezer (Beethoven) that wrote moonlight sonata based it upon this after hearing Sor play it...or something like that

[ThePredster]

how much of that true? sor has been called the beethoven of the guitar so... idk but the sound is uncanny in their likeness

[ramtamsen]

@KERKAWIK

no.

[halaluani]

@KERKAWIK The reason Sor's Study in Bm (Op.35 No.22) is occasionally called "Moonlight Etude" is because classical guitarist, Georg Mertens said (not too long ago), "I regard it as "The Moonlight Sonata" for guitar."If this was 30 years ago the name would not have caught on. The comment was posted to the web, & not too long later, a handful of people were referring to Sor's study as Moonlight Etude.

Beethoven's unrequited love for one of his students was the inspiration for his Moonlight Sonata.

[AGLMIL]

Fantastic interpretation and sound.You are already a very good pleyer!!

[LumberjackHands]

Excellent voice outlining!

[andreyLAchannel]

bravo, bravo and bravo !!

[thisguyheisaguy]

awesome work, man.  awesome work

[evankerry]

lovely...thanks for posting.

[tigerhamilton2]

LOL! Look in the upper left of the screen. Stop playing guitar and give your girlfriend some attention! She's waiting in bed for you and your videotaping yourself. :)

[halaluani]

As the former gf of a classical guitarist I can confirm that the BEST thing he can do before bed is play a Sor piece. Classical guitar is very romantic and seductive.

[D3athCr33ps]

I find slayer to be the best aphrodisiac to get my bitch wet.

[Trapmaker677]

@halaluani haha, not with the poisoned minds of my era... i wish they could just see how beautiful this "unknown" music is....

[HitokiriDiaz]

@halaluani Well, I´m studying classical guitar but I can tell you that most girls prefered me playing and singing popular songs instead of a classical piece....

[halaluani]

@HitokiriDiaz You've revealed why without knowing it. You refer to them as "girls" and girls they are in their ability to be in touch with passion. Try looking for a female who has found and embraced herself as a woman. It also means that these females are under-educated in music. Do an experiment. Date a woman who loves classical guitar music. You'll see the difference very quickly.

[HitokiriDiaz]

@halaluani So every woman that has found herself as a woman likes classical guitar? And if you don´t prefer classical music above all, you are undereducated in music? And I should date another woman just for experiment? Ok, I think I´m beginning to understand life now..

[halaluani]

Black&white interpretation. A person in touch with themselves is in touch with passion.It's commonly agreed that classical guitar is a very passionate instrument.You can be educated in something and not prefer it above other music - but you CAN appreciate it.Inability to appreciate is often due to lack of exposure. Think about it. How many of these "girls" were familiar with the genre? There's another possibility. Perhaps you play poorly. If you can't feel the music no one else will either.

[HitokiriDiaz]

@halaluani Wow, you really seem like a nice person....like always on youtube offending someone seems to be the strongest argument. I never said they didn´t appreciate it, just that they preferend something else. There´s a strong difference there.

And I assure I don´t play poorly.

[halaluani]

@HitokiriDiaz The preference can be a lack of familiarity. Suggesting that maybe you don't play well is not intended as an insult. It's a non-judgmental possibility. Re-read it. It's a neutral statement. Why are you offended by the statement of a neutral possibility that you feel doesn't characterize you? Frankly, your comments to me have been much more aggressive than mine to you.

[HitokiriDiaz]

@halaluani Ok, that was a lack of judgement from my side then because it seemed offending to me, sorry for that. But I always try for my comments not to be aggressive at all... so maybe it´s just the way of artificial chat that sends that message.

Though most of the things you say are true, I´m just trying to say that less interest in some musickind (as high-leveled/cultural/romantic as classical guitar might be), doesn´t mean they´re undereducated.

[halaluani]

@HitokiriDiaz My comment on being undereducated was specifically in regard to classical music. Thanks for understanding.

[oldwhtman]

A true guitarist satisfies the needs of his guitar before those of his woman.

[Poisonseed]

@oldwhtman

I've told my girl that unfortunately she'll always be number two. My guitar is number one. Luckily she's totally understanding though... :p

[lsur04]

@oldwhtman

*cringe*

[Jonlemaar]

@oldwhtman ?

[Parvati78100]

@oldwhtman

Really sounds like my wife though she has no guitar!

[joseguitar1]

Good interpretation.

[wallsacc]

loved it dude, very well played. but at :34 seconds why not let it ring?

[charangohabsburg]

No wallsacc that's completely ok.

[songuitarjazz]

this is a sad tune,why i found ALLEGRETTO on music sheet???

[HyrulianWarlord]

allegretto just refers to the tempo, not to the overall mood of the melody

[Mr5stevenr]

congrarulations on a well played study. It sounds good..

[erroredelsistema]

BRAVO

[DrMrSepp]

verry nice

[ChitarraSulMare]

Bravo. ;-)

[whosetoewasit]

very good... but why didn't you play the last note?

[archaicalbeast]

where i can find the tab pls ?:|

[6K6R]

Nice job 5*****

Claude

[kirnikolaki]

I can play it too :))) Good job!

[6yourfacewilldie]

good job on bm tht is like an evil bar chord

[cucuta95]

I hate it. ESpecially because i got clumsy fingers lmao

[Renaaa92]

I really love this piece & well done!!

[snailking]

It was beautiful! Love it! :D

[acorntechnique]

Your played this very well indeed. such clear note and such nice feeling.

well done. 5/5 stars!

[c00lkat3933]

Beautiful! You're very talented. :)

[Divev]

My mind was blown - I really enjoyed this. It was beautiful.

[dede12maggio]

bla bla bla

[dede12maggio]

i really dislike it!!!!

[luigigc91]

faggot, this is music.

[perfectbeat]

Very nice. Well done.

[GilbertPot1971]

beautiful playing!..i used to play sor as a kid

thanks for sharing

[AllegroTranquillo]

Great music, keep it up.

[MJMilanek]

Precise!

[guitaliano]

Cuidado para não deixar a melodia sumir, algumas vezes isso acontece.

Na minha opnião o uso da pestana está, em muitas partes, muito inadequado.

Minha sugestão no ritornelo é que você faça o som, um pouco, metálico. Para quando voltar ao tema principal soe com mais explendor.

Abraços

[fortea92]

You should fell more this etude. Use more interpretetion, more sounds, more colours... And the bass F# is too high, it disturbs the listener.. make it more delicate! :-)

3 stars, the sound is good

[Yanhauff]

Très bonne interprétation.

Bravo et merci.

[andantelento]

Very nicely played

[stringcast]

Nice! I really enjoyed it but I think you played the bass wrongly at timing 2:31. If i'm not wrong, the bass should be F# and not C#. I think you played C# twice then.

[bigmeat345]

i think its D in the bass then C# then F# then G

but i have a tendency to be wrong a lot haha

[ke6ksk]

Excellent performance.

[summonshire]

I agree, amigo

[thejugglenaut91]

dude, it was good playing but kinda crappy on the rubato. In romantic music, completely forget about the tempo. When you can do that then take it one bar at a time.

[RandomMocker]

Only rubbish musicians completely forget the tempo. It can be a lot freer yes, but don't forget it, it's best to have it as a guidline but you have to feel how the music should sound.

[carkod]

is that your wife behind you? lol, hope she's enjoying

[JapJackson]

Joe, this is a WONDERFUL performance! I am performing this for my jury at college in a couple weeks and your interpretation is very close to how I perform it.

[Bleedingbox]

nicely played

[Daikaiju]

Very well played.

I know sor did not play the piece this way, but if you rest stroke the treble melody it becomes a fantastic work out.

[peterhguk]

"Rest stroke the melody". A good reason to read the comments, at last :-)

[nanabroccoli]

beautifully played. very expressively shaded.

wish i could do it.

[helderbello]

Very well played, congrats! But why "moonlight" study? hehe.

Embraces!

[chiquichepe]

i need a tab fot it plase!!!!!!!!! where can i get it

[simnos1]

Have you tried imslp?.. but then this is six months ago so you have probably found it.

[FF4eternity]

isnt this also called "Study in B Minor"? I have the exact same arrangement in my guitar book by Ben Bolt

[Klaudiusz1983]

I have the same book and i think its brilliant i try to lern VIVACE but its crazy for me SOrs study is easier;)

[FF4eternity]

Yeah that one can be a litle tricky at times ^^. Take a look at Choros no.1 by Villa-Lobos. Trying to learn that one now

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

I like Choros no.1 by Villa-Lobos too. But I've never tried it.

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

Yes, I think this is the only study in Bm.

[SlashcomPie]

@FF4eternity etude means study in whatever language it is

[belkly]

good stuff bro

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

Thanks.

[Wufnu]

美观得很！ 我享得很！ 我也学这个歌。  我的巴掌成精疲力尽。美观得很！谢谢你！

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

谢！

精疲力尽就要注意了，别使蛮力。

[tandgpage]

Very very nice. A 5 rating from me. Your left hand is so smooth. The only thing separating you and the best professionals on this piece is some more use of timbre variation with the right hand.

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

Thanks for comment & voting!

You're right. The right hand control is the hard part of this piece.

[overthewall91]

Where can i find tabs for this beutiful piece?

[iorixs]

you can probably find at 911 tabs

[majed3xman]

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

Thanks.

I may be able to search it. If not, let me know. I'll try to search and email you.

[Honken]

I've always liked this etude, never regarded it as one seeing as it sounds great (just like Tarregas second).

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

thanks Tarregas second:)

[AndanteLargo]
