  • I love this ... 'it's really tricky piece to get right' Pretty much all of Albeniz' work requires almost 'savant-like' quitar ability as far as I'm concerned!

  • the thing tha albeniz was a pianist and his music sounds better on guitar is a little weird......awesome playing btw ;)

  • have you got andalousian family? je je! yeah! or "oleee" your playing it´s great!

    congratulations from Sevilla!

  • Great tone and technique! In my opinion, I think the piece loses a bit of its charm at that tempo, especially the really lyrical bits like the part in C major and the Meno Mosso of the part in E.

  • Very Nice

  • Thanks for that

  • to be continyudd

  • Christopher Parkening has arranged this piece and SUPERBLY RECORDED this PIECE on Angel Records in the 1970's...

    Check out Mr. Parkenings Version, SO SMOOTHLY FLOWING and IMMACULATELY played = a Segovia Student, the BEST I HAVE

    HEARD, i.e. in my OPINION.

  • @LAPUbutsekikMAG CHILL out WITH the CaPs LooK man. WTF

  • i think i have the same guitar as you! :D

  • Does anybody know who was the first to transcribe this piece for guitar? I thought it might have been Tarrega's student Llobett, but I'm not sure. Tarrega was the first to transcribe Cadiz and Granada. Nice playing by the way, this piece is a bit difficult.

  • dude i was joking verry nice.... but i thought it is played diffrent

  • easy job

  • i had a teacher from UNLV come by my school, he was playing classical stuff and he said he loved metal when he was younger, then heard a song that sounded "very metal, very metallica" to him, "yet kept its classical roots" i dont remember what the song was called but ive been searching for it all day, searching songs that i find on google and shit like that, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated

  • I think the piece you may be thinking of is 'Asturias' by Albeniz, often known as 'Leylanda', Or it could be 'The Miller's Dance' by Manuel De Falla.

    Let me know if this was what you was thinking of.

    Paul

  • DUDE THATS IT!!!! THX SO MUCH

  • it was asturias, amazing piece of music

  • @Wrathchild166 random tip, almost all metal is derived from classical music. great playing by the way

  • Great work

  • well u are right! that's exaclty what happens with transcriptions! what i wanted to say that this one wasnt having the NOTES albeniz wrote, by meaning that when the piece had an E note the transcriptor wrote like G (!) I did not say u dont know how to play, but i think it would be better for u to look at sb playing the original on piano and then decide wich transcriptor u choose. FRIENDLY ( <-dont u miss that ) PapagiannisWoW

  • im really srry but man either u cant read well either the transcriber wasnt a good guitarist. Technicaly u are really good! i might be 13 y old but i know the guitar and i know this piece. i just uploaded a vid featuring me playing this. Listen to it and listen to all the others that have played it. trust me, these are not notes written by Albeniz...

  • Thanks for your comment.

    I can read pretty well, but there are many transciptions for this piece, I've tried a couple of them, this happens to be the one I liked best.

    Albeniz was a pianist, and all of his works that have been adapted with notes played in different registers to make them possible to play. A few of his pieces have been re-worked into more suitable keys such as Cadiz and Granada.

    Thanks again.

    Paul

  • Hey I am alright, I just haven't felt like playing much recently, and I don't practice or write when I'm not in the mood.

    So you've had a bashing, it happens, though I don't know why people who don't like what one does just accept that we aren't all the same. People can be curious. I bet the culprit doesn't have any videos of their own.

    Thanks again

  • Comment removed

  • that's not the correct version u play it different!!!

  • There are many different transcriptions for this piece, this version was transcription was by Aureo Herrero. It was a piano piece originally.

    Thank you for your comment though

    Paul

  • 5 stars

  • Thank you

    Paul

  • Aren't these negative commentators amazing? I think this music is fabulous and you play it very well. I'd like to see some of these naysayers strut their stuff!

  • Hey gutplucker,

    There's only one stupid comment so far, it was bound to happen at some point, it doesn't bother me.

    Thank you for your input though, its very much appreciated.

    Paul

  • Thank you Markus, sorry I am late in the reply, I didn't get an email notification.

    Please keep coming back to my channel if you like my work, I've done quite a lot recently.

    Best wishes.

    Paul

  • good work!

    can i have a transcription of this piece!

    thanks!

    best wishes! :)

  • Hello,

    I'm sorry I don't have one, I memorised this from a book I borrowed, though I'm sure that it would be easy enough to find a score on the internet - it is in the Public Domain, so no copyrights to make it awkward. Just do a search, one will come up for sure.

    Best wishes to you.

    paul

  • Wow! Great job with this Paul! Cool feel and clean technique. I'm a subscriber :) See you at the forum...

  • Hey thank you Ric, and thanks a bundle for subscribing!!!

    Paul

  • Er,..........I don't mean to!

    Hey thanks, that sounds like a compliment, certainly the 5* does anyway!

    Paul

  • Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing! you make my music really sound like shit! ;)

    5*

  • Very good!!

  • Thank you, I will take a look at your videos later!

    Paul

  • I like to listen to your good music.

    Thank you for your encouraging comment. I still need to work during 100 years ;o)

  • Thank you, but you should give yourself more credit, I enjoyed your video.

    Best wishes

    Paul

  • Well hell Paul, I cant really give you a very accurate opinion due to inexperience but I liked your performance! I havent been studying too long but your show gives me a little more insight on free and rest strokes........ good stuff Paul.

    Terry

  • Hello Terry,

    Thanks for watching. Rest stroke is generally used to bring out the melody line as a warmer tone is heard.

    Thanks for subscribing BTW!

    Regards.

    Paul

  • A very individual performance! - I like it!

    You catch the spirit of the piece very well!

    Regards, Maria

  • Thank you Maria.

    Best wishes, Paul

  • Olé! Starting with the masterpieces, huh? :D

    Caleta's a real monster, I think I'll a few more years before trying this one. Yet, a beautiful monster, lol.

    Wonderful playing, you get the spanish feeling just right, Paul. :)

  • Hello Bb,

    I thought you'd like this one.

    Thanks for your kind words, it could be a bit better, but not for a while yet. Later on in the week I post some Sor, but I'm not which one - any suggestions?

    Paul

  • I think you should post "Asturias Leyenda".

    if not, post a slice of lamp post on toast. 5 stars

    Jørgen

  • Hello James,

    I had considered Asturias, but there are already so many versions of this and mine isn't going to be as good.

    Thanks anyway.

    Paul

  • My favorite Sor is Op. 29, No. 6, but that's one of the really hard ones. :)

  • Wow! That's a very tricky piece indeed! You did pretty well. For how long have you been playing?

    I hope people will look for this piece and than find your own compositions!!

    Best regards,

    Jolina

  • Hello Jolina,

    I've been playing for ages, but I started to get serious with classical about three years ago when I got into writing. I might well post some more Albeniz next week.

    Thanks again for you support, my compositions seem to be gaining some interest, very pleased by that.

    Best wishes.

    Paul.

  • Fabuloso amigo!

    *****

  • Hey thanks a lot for that!!!! ;-)

    Looking forward to your next Sor piece.

    Paul

  • Nice

  • Thanks Stephen, I'll bet you'll be playing this one soon.

    Paul
