[mikemoseley]

I WANT YOU TO PLAY A SONG. woman people are so rude

Absolutely fantastic John, really inspirational.

6 people clearly don't have a clue about music.

big thumbs up from the rest of youtube!

[matata1996]

Its not standart Tunning, its half step down

[CoffeeJunkDeLuxe]

@matata1996

No it's not

[matata1996]

@CoffeeJunkDeLuxe Oh yea it is ;D

[captainsmartass123]

what kind of guitar is this jon? id love to know thanks! :D

[1kweezy3]

your srtings are super loose are they tuned standard?

[johnclarkemusic]

@1kweezy3 Yes, I am using standard tuning... The guitar strings actually vibrate this much normally, but it happens so fast that the naked eye cant see it. The video frame rate was slowed down by combination of the camera, and post processing.

[noyzizi]

do you still play in SF?! I live in the bay and LOVE your music, infact I normally don't listen to just instrumentals but this song and all your songs are amazing. i can feel the emotion you put in it. if you still play at ghiradelli square i would love to go watch a live session!

[johnclarkemusic]

@noyzizi Thanks!! I do still play around the SF area. You can see me calendar on my website johnclarkemusic (dot) com

[XxImPu1sExX]

this is the part im stuck on 0:00 - 3:19

[moniquelabradoodle]

Any chance u could re record this in higher quality. It's amazing. :)

[1kweezy3]

i love this song -3 but your strings are super loose

[Rubbishandbollocks]

Is it just the perspective of the guitarcam, or does his strings seem a bit loose? I find that my strings don't seem to be bending quite as much.

[sonyman115]

@Rubbishandbollocks The frame rate of the camera isn't quite able to keep up with the vibration of the strings. This causes a slight bit of distortion and makes the strings seem like they're moving slower, thus making them seem loose.

[InH0cS1gn0Vinces]

Beaaaautiful!

[preachthegospel001]

me gusta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yupm1]

My fav. guitarist on youtube, since I first saw him playing before 2 yrs or more, I never stopped listening to him. He's been following me all the time, on bad or good times. I guess he found the inner peace coz this music is soooo peaceful. Making ppl feel good doesnt cost any thing, thanks for sharing ur heavenly art.

[krushinghead]

Great playing!! I love the spanish guitar (nylon string). One question: are you playing in standard tuning? Your low E string seems really loose. Just curious;fine playing. I dig the sound of it.

[God69a]

@krushinghead he's just playing a semitone down from standard, so everything is flat :)

[MrNabiloz]

demmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmm



[kightzeareau]

I want you to play more muuuzaaac

[deviliz]

What?? 5 so called human beings are deaf ??

[ja7cdk]

Nice, I wonder if you can I also wanted to draw?

[architectyohan]

Love how the top E string dances! :)

[MamouSimo]

"Some people don't seem to reallize that playing music takes a lot of concentration" ... LOVE IT :D :D !!

[sirkyrios]

demasiado bien

[seraphim701]

Just listened to the 2007 and now this....I love them both. Just recently discovered you John and can't even begin to tell you how much I love to hear you. I love your style. It is so refreshing, smooth and unique. The beat along with the strings is GREAT! Keep up with the little comments...ha ha ha...it's an added treat you communicate to your fans. And by the way, it is nice not having the ads anymore. Peace!

[castorblanc1]

Superrrrrrrr

[JuanBautista12]

hey umm wut tuning is your guitar in? it doesn't seem standard

[MrCrafterJC]

Oh shit, I can not transcribe by ear the part 1:45 kkkkkkk

[JcWongAndCompany]

What camcorder do you use to record this? And is this audio quality coming straight from thie camcorder?

Great playing!! Keep up the good work! :D

Is this on iTunes?

[metallicaRockBoy]

GREAT !!!!! :)

[tapjar85]

The commentary at the end was hilarious. Beautifully played!

[Markobonv]

I leave for awhile, but I ALways come back. I love this. I think you must be a very kindhearted man too.  When the woman demands that you, '...play one of these songs.' you say, "sure."

[kw757]

Awesome!!!! I can't believe how rude that lady was... "I want you to play one of these songs!" What ever happened to politeness (asking, not demanding) and courtesy (waiting until a break between songs). Some peoples' kids!!!

[hujiabinszpilman]

You are terrific

[EDINSONDURAN]

fuck at the 4 haters.

[drunktiger132]

[kiwette15]

I'm getting the tabs on the spot. Will probably take me ages to play it properly but who gives a f****? It's too cool ! Do you know Alexandre Therrien ? The guy is also one my favorite on youtube. Check it up !

[Faithmaster]

You know, I actually cried. I really never have done that for an instrumental piece.

the cameras angle is amaing

[GuitarraArrizza]

My fav song! -- this one has the true spirit of Central America in it - makes me a bit nostalgic - as part of my family heritage comes from there, it's only natural -- Love the 6/8 strumming pattern ~

Genius! -- great latest version of the piece ~ keep it up John! :)

[angrymartian]

i bought your music, im going to play it just like you!

[dalesalsa]

Awesome as always bro... great job! I would pay alot more than the mere 10 dollars for your music man. Great job!

[EatYourChimp]

[TheFunbroz]

[TURBOKING5]

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

[MrKlyre]

Is it an Alhambra ? ^^'

[tijuemson]

i bought this for some 4 dollers

completely useless

only he can play with that

so people he is a talent and dont try to imitate him and

nobody can play like this even if you got the tabs

[NasserHamedi]

@tijuemson He is not god or something! :-) You can play just like him with lots of training. He has been playing for several years!!!! Remember that :-)

[mishag187]

nice song but first one is much better id say

[coolt4ever]

wow.....like our interpretations a lot... they sound great... great playing..keep it up and good luck! God bless yu..and us all

[coolt4ever]

@coolt4ever sorry,my mistake,there is "like your interpretations" :D

[Turbo9987]

wow your strings look SUPER loose! Amazing performance

[1049400452]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo

[1049400452]

@1049400452 ya

[GamerSirus]

Not bad. Always wanted to purchase a classical guitar not a fan of "traditional" acoustics.

[SDsailor7]

Are you still playing at Girardelli?

I will have to go and see you play live there..Haven't been to frisco in years i guess is time to go!

Thank you for playing that beautiful music. It warms the soul.

[clavapetrovna]

wow..

[dunn4040]

you make it look to easy

[melissabalducci]

I am posting this on fb...You make me feel happiness. Thank you.

[saavedraboy15]

[ExtremeGravity]

Great Great Great performance! Please John, what's your guitar?

[def0fan]

But eh worst is when a drunk stands next to me and tries to sing-a-long lololol

[mapochicomposer]

Your performance is superb and amazing, I am a classical music composer in Hong Kong that issued CDs of my compositions in UK & Amazon and I have just written your video & things about Spanish Guitar music at my Blog to let more Chinese reading people to learn to admire you and your music.

Mapochi

[Teralin12345]

...this seems to me to be one of the best attractions in San Francisco - if i ever get there i´ll must see this live!

[1234wilbur]

that is beautiful thank you

[xxxxsharpie]

I'm glad you only have 1 album and a single out otherwise, you my friend, would be a very rich man, and I would end up being very poor. Keep up the beautiful music and Whoooooo!!!

[manina06]

Amazing!!! ♫♥♫

[pdizzle66]

hi, does any1 know where i can get this song? i really want to get(purchase) this song but cant find it on the net... if anyone knows can u give me the link please...

cheers and great song!!!!!!!!! john is a genius

[duluvavi]

WOW WOW WOW WOW.....WOW, you realy are great!!!! I didn't saw anyone play like you!!

[MaryMetalManiac]

You señor have got class, two thumbs way up from me.

[MzRaj]

Hah! I just found your Spanish Romance video and then watched this one, and I loved everything about this!

The camera looks like it's actually on the guitar, and that looks fun, plus I LOVE being able to see what your fingers are doing! It's mesmerizing.

Like the little captions as well, and your sense of humor is great, haha!

Your music is gorgeous--THANK-YOU JOHN CLARK! I'm adding you to my subscriptions.

[NorthernKnight1000]

Man I really love your music and I have a question for you. When you play the melody lines in between chords you seem to keep your fingers quite straight. I on the other hand tend to keep mine more "crooked" whenever I fingerpick. Is keeping them straight something I should strive for, or is it up to me what is more comfortable?

Thanks from Sweden :)

[dallking]

oh yeah? "whoooo!" there ya go big guy. These vids are much more fun to watch than the old ones. Love the tunes and trippy guitar string effect. Like acid in spain

[JanVanGalen]

Nice cam work.

What's with the "Ratings disabled"?

[HBKphiyen]

this version sounds so great, smooth. Is this your Cordoba 55FCE guitar? or any other one? I'm asking too much because I'm going to buy a new guitar with nice sound and reasonable price (say between 1200-2200 $). Could you recommend one for me? Best regard!! :)

[pipepractice]

GREAT!

[QuagmireOwnedYou]

OLÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imafastcar1]

look at those string wobble

[bilalassad]

awsome dude this is so cool =)

[hamasha999]

man you are gr8 i wish i would play like you one day

[dziban303]

I haven't actually *purchased* music in nearly twenty years, but I bought this guy's stuff. John Clarke? You, sir, are a fucking wizard.

[rogierius]

@dziban303

Me too! His live stuff is even better than the CD.

[jimmyshnuka]

dude awesome...love the little random facts in the top right haha

[TheMalam23]

Astonishing and so much passion. Thanx 4 sharing your talent!

[D1Supra]

i always enjoy listening to your works. keep it up.

[jocelynmuch]

Absolutely brilliant. I have been listening to this endlessly. Thank you

[Robamalan]

I saw this dude in San Fran. Baller

[sonianoviango]

where can i get this on CD>??? im so in love

[Nick250692]

Really cool dong dude ;)

But I reaaaaally wanted for it to have a climax, sth like a really sort solo like the ones u play all the time between the chords only a few seconds longer and then followed by chords in 2/4 instead of 4/4.

Veeery nice man!

[tomassldn]

Little bit primitive, heh? Good musician can play and communicate in same time, ... you have good music feeling, and it´s such a shame to play that shit with three chords. Try to think about it and push yourself further. Don´t throw away your talent... i know it´s very comfortable if they say "whooo", yeah, it makes you feel like you really can play, i know it. But they are loosers, for them it´s enough. But for you?

[Fisiodifis]

@tomassldn Ok you thinking wrong.First of all, to those who u play music at,arent losers.Maybe they dont know enough of music, but they enjoying your music. So to be a good musician except of palying difficult songs,it matters also your musical feeling and how u combine the notes together to have a good song and be an inspiring musician , like john clarke.

[tomassldn]

@Fisiodifis I didnt say that he is bad musician, he is good, he is great. I just think that its such a shame to stuck at music which is relatively easy to play and which is musically primitive. It is called nonartificial music, popular music. Without talent, yeah, thats great. But he has a talent and is able to push himself further.

P.S.My first comment was little bit hyperbolized, i didnt meant it. ;-)

[sheebshag]

Easy to play? How many of his songs can you actually play?

[tomassldn]

@sheebshag If i say all of them, you wont belive me anyway. Hey man, try to listen Art Tatum, Miles Davis, Sergei Rachmaninoff or Ferenc Lizst. If you can understand them, than youll gonna know what im talkin about. ;-)

[sheebshag]

@tomassldn

Of course I'm not going to believe you when you don't have a single video in your channel that show even a hint of musical talent on your part. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt if you promise to upload a video of you playing, say, The Most Evolved, before the year runs out. HEHE.

Or if you think you're really badass you could go with Revolution or Un Tren.

[sheebshag]

'doubt', not 'the doubt'

[tomassldn]

@Fisiodifis Yea, exactly, it is about musical feeling and combining the notes. Thanks for definition of music.

Try Totentanz played by Valentina Lisitsa.

[gibderfenson]

Hello,I have a question,I dont do really good when i play spanish guitar,should I let my nails grow to start practicing better?

[Godisen007]

That first chord! I'm a beginner at guitar and I played that very chord yesterday, but I figured it out by myself. I don't know what chord it is, care to enlighten me? :)

[gibderfenson]

@Godisen007

It's E7 076750

[r2cristi]

what guitar model is this ?

[ilonavee]

Found your video inspired by the guitar scene in the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Your playing is even more bewitching!

[daihashi]

Your videos have really gotten me into spanish guitar. Kudos sir for being so awesome!

[DanielCanoVirus]

i would like to make love to your guitar now :D

[gumikacsa1]

excellent, thank you John!

[jambub]

"i like it when they go whoo"

me too it gives me shivers lol

[LewisBray90]

man those strings cower at your strumming pattern!

[fourwindsoh]

Well this is way better than the first. It's great for entertainment and sounds awesome. Thank you for posting it!

[fourwindsoh]

Superb, but it would be great if you turn up the percussion just a tad. I like good bass! Or better yet throw in some additional percussion. It's just showmanship I know but it would be cool.

[fourwindsoh]

Superb, but it would be great if you turn up the percussion just a tad. I like good bass!

[traverd]

whooooo!

[physics2112]

Nice camera angle on the guitar. I only wish the sound were as clear as the earlier recording of this song.

[mrgingamatron]

Hey dude, thats awsume! You wana get on skype and teach me that? So I can show my mexican friend who says you can't play guitar unless you play like that haha. Def keen to learn! Good job

[brubobaggins]

whooo!

[waleedjacobs]

dude u the best man.wow

[youhan1234567]

i would give anythink to play like you. you have beutiful gift !!

[divinegod102]

The transitions of this song seems pretty hard.

[SONGSTICKS]

is it just me or was anyone else finding themselves mesmerised by the strings movements.... from that camera angle, you can really see how much the strings bend and vibrate.. nice playing too.

Really enjoyed that vid.

Cheers

[cirezetroc]

genius...very nice...

[fartsam08]

"i like it when they go "whooo!""  hehehe

[goryyen]

chacarera!

[IcyScythe]

So is this like an "electric classical" or what? How are you looping it if it isn't?

[sheebshag]

@IcyScythe

He's using a Cordoba 55 FCE. It's not a classical. It's a flamenco. But yes, it's electric. Electric, meaning there's a built-in sound pick-up and cable plug.

55 FCE

F = Flamenco

C = Cutaway

E = Electric
