Isaac Albeniz - Tango -Played by Nelson Amos

[CT2507]

shit, he makes so many mistakes in this one its almost unbareable to listen to. he wasnt ready for an audience with this song at all!

[gerundino98]

works best when played on the japanese ukelele

[20barryhayes]

Funny isn't it - Albeniz was composing on piano, with the guitar in his soul. Lovely performance of a testing guitar piece.

wow, this was recorded the year i was born in :)

Well done Mr. Amos ! this is realy, realy good :)

Have a peek at my lute videos if you get a minute

[smallmaster52]

has anyone heard the version by John Williams ?.I think it sounds as good !

[stickom]

...like Ravel, horrible interpretateur, phenomenal composer!!!

Be'..

This is not a widely recorded piece for Guitar, but is one of my favorites. Amos seems to be performing the Segovia arrangement, but he makes some odd changes such as the chord at around 2:19, and the run at 2:33 or thereabouts.

So wonderful...

[gerundino98]

decent effort. this is much harder to play than it sounds.

[Volpemessicano]

I have a tab of this song

[Beerenklauer]

This song is called:

Tango opus 165 No.2 (Andrés Segovia Edition)

A very nice piece of music!!!

[kellogsdie]

man im looking for tabs of this but cant find em

[zknaz]

Do you know where I can get the notes to this?

[CAVEIN01]

i like it better on piano. it gets a fuller sound

[AAErikCO]

I happen to agree with you regardless of the people who gave you three negatives!

[gerundino98]

@CAVEIN01

If the right amplification is used it can sound better on guitar. The guitar sound is more 'Spanish' somehow. Also the player has to be the very top as a lot ot it is played high on the frets with difficult barres and complete mastery is needed to get the full expressiveness across. Sounds poor is the guitarist has to strain at all.

[CAVEIN01]

@gerundino98 oh yeah, totally. this guy makes it sound very relaxed, as if he is sitting on some mexican sidewalk playing it. i do like that, but piano just seems to bring music more alive than most instruments, on some songs anyway.

2:16

[DirkyGirl78]

it's such a lovely piece. :)

[dvh99]

he makes some mistakes just shows how difficult this piece is. its much harder than asturias, nice performance btw.

[fnog9]

I've played this on piano. Sounds twice as good on guitar.

[Fixmanius]

Really, Chap? I don't think so..

[Clubixx]

Yes it must be very difficult to play. I've once heard once this music played by two guitars.

[Clubixx]

Great music !

[namosluteguitar]

Thanks! The music, while not all that difficult on piano (for which it was originally written), is tricky for guitar.
