[MancBluesman]

I really like your version of this song and great skill too thanks for posting.

[yobrowassupp]

i must get a bouziki damnn! we don't have good product in here, and imported ones are expensive!!

[davorb]

Hey, do you have the sheet music for this song? Thanks!

[teaspoon123456789]

Question? Is it possible that I have guitar strings on my bouzouki. When I tune it, it sounds more like a guitar than a bouzouki. If you can offer any suggestions on how to make my bouzouki sound like a bouzouki it would be much appreciated. Thank You

[freekornwilly]

@teaspoon123456789 The strings are actually the same as guitar strings. Its more the body shape and design that makes it sound the way it does... as opposed to a guitar and other strings

From Malta.....robertteuma saying

You have a great talent my friend, i wish you well in life..take good care

[vtsaccounis]

thank you, all the best

[MsJollycholly]

is the bouzouki totally acoustic? It's a beautiful instrument. What is the cost of the average bouzouki? I LOVE the sound !

[manucyan]

iésélém ^^

[MJLatora]

This is fantastic ! You make it look effortless ! I'd give my left arm to be able to do this....but then again, if I gave my left arm, I wouldn't be able to do it !

[AIRSOFTserbia123]

This is very beautiful greetings from your brothers Serbs !!!

[RaduBunnyRabbit]

wonderful!

[1961bbp]

hey i see you are a great bouzouki player and i have a bouzouki and i want to learn this song ,can you teach me .(i am greek )

[Velkion13]

Poli oreaaa !!!

[tomerggm1]

oh... the greek music so butiful...

[dp665]

my papu (rip) had one of these i think my yiayia has it still... i would love to learn one day to play it. is it terribly hard to learn???

[vtsaccounis]

yes, you have to put a lot of hours of practice regularly and you have to love the instrument

[JumpingLlamas100]

@dp665 well i dont have a bouzouki but i play a mean mandolin (which is highly related to the bouzouki) and it isnt really hard. but thats my opinion

[TheBellocazzo]

Bravo!!!!

[Nza420]

You should form a Greek band and tour to all the Greek festivals. There is a band from Richmond, VA called Pegasus. Tight as a drum musically, but I can't find anything about them online. They used to be *the* act at the Norfolk, VA GreekFest. You play wonderfullly and seem to appreciate the instrument in general. Why not share it with the rest of the USA?  XD

[vtsaccounis]

thanks but i am in two different Greek bands in Australia.

[teaspoon123456789]

I have a question. A couple of weeks ago you sent me a mp3 via email of the bouzouki tunning. When I tune mine it sounds very similar to a guitar. If you have any advice on what to do I would really appreciate it. Thanks

[bob26drft]

Bloody brilliant, makes me so nostalgic... I can't stop grinning :D Love it, and I love Greece :D

[whishwhish]

I just bought my first bouzouki, and hey, you're pretty damn good!

[Tubemytune]

Can you use a guitarampifier?

[vtsaccounis]

@Tubemytune yes

[BewarKurdishMusician]

Just like Kurdish Music.

I LOVEEEEE Greek music.

[teaspoon123456789]

great video.

last time i asked you what tunning you were using and you answered C F A D so i tuned my bouzouki to those notes but when i play it sounds like a guitar i cant hear or notice a difference between the sound from the bouzouki and the sound from my guitar. i was wondering if you could tell if something is wrong or if im doing something wrong thank you so much.

[vtsaccounis]

Check if you are tuning to the right octave, the strings should be tight. Once i had the thick Fstring tuned one octave too low and sound was terrible. Also steel strings should be correct thickness -you can use steel guitar strings Here are thicknesses: top thick C string - 028, C string under - 013, thick F string - 022 ,F string under - 010 or 009, then below is two A strings both 013, then lower last two D strings both 010. Good tuner is BOSS TU-12H. It is analogue + digital and reliable.

[teaspoon123456789]

@vtsaccounis thank you so much. i just got the email. you were so much help in my journey to learn the bouzouki. now all i need to do is practice and find some sheet music. again thank you so much.

[vtsaccounis]

@teaspoon123456789 your welcome, there is an excellent bouzouki player and teacher here in Australia, his name is Costa Vasili, he sells bouzouki books with written music for a lot of songs and you can buy backing tracks as well. he posts world wide, if you want to check him out, type in bouzouki man in google

[johnCfu1]

μπραβο φιλε πολυ ωραιος !

[teaspoon123456789]

What tunning are you using

[vtsaccounis]

@teaspoon123456789 from top is C.F,A,D

[teaspoon123456789]

@vtsaccounis thank you



[teaspoon123456789]

@teaspoon123456789 is there any way to find out which ovtave you are tuned to and if it is the right one?

[vtsaccounis]

easiest way is to give me your email so i can send you an mp3 with a recording of my bouzouki tuning

[teaspoon123456789]

@vtsaccounis ok thank you so much my email is

graceland95@msn.com

[vtsaccounis]

@teaspoon123456789 no worries, i will do it tomorrow as i am going out for the day.

Hi Vick! I'm using your video to teach myself Sirtaki. Excellent job! We have the same bouzouki as a matter of fact! Same design, same pickup..everything haha.

I wanted to ask you if you could send me the recording of the keyboard chords you have playing in the background...I can give you my email address.

Ευχαριστο,

[SwingingHips]

Hi Vick, thoroughly enjoyed ZORBA. thought I had posted a comment before.

Have you recorded anymore songs and would you accept titles of songs you could perhaps play for us

[vtsaccounis]

I have done a lot of other songs they are in my channel. I have a job singing in a Greek band at the moment but if there is a one or two songs you really would like to hear let me know. When I can find the time, I will learn them.

Bravo Vick :)

How long have you been playing by the way?

[vtsaccounis]

My first lesson was 24 years ago but after about three years i got lazy and was just singing in a band for about 5 years not playing at all. i found singing easier than playing. Then i did nothing for a while busy with family and work and about four years ago I picked up the bouzouki again.

[DisneyPrincessRemix]

I've totally fall in love with this song, wow that is some amazin playing! My dad plays the guitar and he has the same instrument as the one you're playing on! just noticed yesterday!! How funny! You're amazing! I rate it 5 lovely stars!!
