John Williams playing Asturias

[OheOrweed]

Slash has talent, it is very disappointing you cannot see it you fuck.......

[Kornix1988]

@CriMeY181274 I am human !!! I could be wrong. I understand that the artist is wrong by 2 years.

[Ka1ss2y3dy4]

@Kornix1988 ...u can't change it or take it off?

[Kornix1988]

@Ka1ss2y3dy4 name is changed.Bye

[chelseamegadeth]

[wizzzeeee]

Why is it I can see Pammy's toes up his tee-shirt ? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

[AfonsoTelesGuitar]

This is John Williams playing Asturias. The original video is here: watch?v=oEfFbuT3I6A

[JasonBhoy7]

the doors use this at the start of their song 'spanish caravan' check it out :)

[checkmyknife]

@JasonBhoy7 had to come back and thank ya, checked out the song, it was great, cheers.

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

What is this, really?

[ZMCZMCZMCZMCZMC]

SLASH! PLAYED ASTURIAS? HELL NO...

[jahangiro]

Leyenda isn't hard...you just need to work on your speed. Slash could do this stoned.

[nice719]

fuckin pro

[EarlLedden]

somebody really knows how to play this piece. Lots of mystery and intrigue. Wonderful balance.

[xXOr30Xx]

all i know is this is bullshiDAMN shizzle on ma french fries bacn &eggz =D

[lanarab1]

so amazing 

[flamen493]

This is Leyenda played by Pepe Romero

[LukaArsenalSerbia]

hahahahahahaaaaa Slash xD aaaaahahhhhhhhhahahahahahahaha­hahhahhhhahhhahahhah

slash doesn't know how a classical guitar looks like, not to mentioned how finger picking (classical) and slash are two completely different worlds..

[Barcslay]

@LukaArsenalSerbia Really? Ever heard his song "Obsession-Confession"?

[dorindakay1]

@Barcslay he's amazing!!!

[70sdude117]

@LukaArsenalSerbia yeah he does dip shit

[dorindakay1]

@LukaArsenalSerbia Shows how much you know. He is a trained classical guitarist and he's amazing!

[LukaArsenalSerbia]

@dorindakay1 i hope that you are sarcastic

[dorindakay1]

@LukaArsenalSerbia I'm never sarcastic. It's not in my nature.

[LukaArsenalSerbia]

@dorindakay1 if he was a trained classical guitarist, he would play with his nails... And he would have nails... I am a classical guitarist, and i know that rock guitarist don't have the same feeling for dynamics and tone of the guitar, as rock guitarist...

[LukaArsenalSerbia]

@LukaArsenalSerbia *classical

[dorindakay1]

@LukaArsenalSerbia I disagree. Many rock musicians are trained classical musicians. Could it be that maybe, just maybe you don't want him to be that good? I would love to hear some of your music. Do you ever post videos? No sarcasm...sincere question. I love music and I especially love classical guitar and always enjoy new music.

[LukaArsenalSerbia]

@dorindakay1 Slash is not a trained classical musicians. I know only two famous rock guitarist that are trained classical or flamenco guitarist and they are: Robby Krieger from the Doors and Andy Summers from The Police

[willprich]

@dorindakay1 He is a trained classical guitarist? Did you train him? Because you seem to be the only person in the world that is aware of this. Stop making a fool of yourself.

[dorindakay1]

@willprich No need to be a dick.......look up his bio.

[willprich]

if you think this is slash you haven't a clue who slash is

[dorindakay1]

@willprich it is Slash.

[willprich]

@dorindakay1 Prove it. When was this recorded? Where was it recorded? It is obviously not live so what album was it recorded for? Why is it perfectly identical to a recording by someone else? Find me one piece of evidence that this is Slash. There are hundred of thousands of videos of Slash on the internet. Find me ONE of him playing Leyenda. Find me ONE that has him playing anything similar to this style. Find me ONE that shows him actually USING a classical guitar. He COULD, but he DIDN'T.

[dorindakay1]

@willprich Find me evidence that it's not.

[willprich]

@dorindakay1 Evidence: IT WAS RECORDED BY SOMEONE ELSE.

[dorindakay1]

@willprich Again, evidence please? Were you in the studio? No you were not.

[willprich]

@dorindakay1 @dorindakay1 Neither were you. Evidence doesn't mean proof that something DIDN'T happen, it mean proof that something DID happen. You have proposed something as far-fetched as "Here's Slash doing a headstand on a motocycle while playing piano while giving a crocodile a root canale.... sorry no video, but the fact that I made it up and you can't proove it didn't happen means it DID cause you weren't there and I was!!". I'm sure it happened... let me guess, in your parents' basement?

[dorindakay1]

@willprich my parents are dead...thanks asshole.

[willprich]

@dorindakay1 You're retarded... "ASSHOLE".

[dorindakay1]

@willprich No that would be you. You must be a seriously miserable person to spew such hate. I pity you.

[dorindakay1]

@willprich exactly....no video to prove your point either.....done with you. Do not message me anymore. I will waste no time reading or responding.

[FuHa93]

@dorindakay1 Slash never used spanish scales in his songs, musician who is familiar with his music would never believe that this song is his.

[dorindakay1]

@FuHa93 I don't understand why it is so hard to believe that a "rock" musician can't play this. He may not have every used Spanish scales in his rokc music but who's to say he doesn't know how to use them? I just truly don't understand. Roni Benise does it so why is it so hard to give credit to Slash. Thank you BTW for being polite. Many are not.

[dorindakay1]

@willprich yes as a matter of fact I do.

[TheFunkyShaman]

Has anyone noticed that a lot of people are saying that this is Slash or Eric Clapton wwhen its not? Whats the deal with that?

[tand]

@TheFunkyShaman People don't know their music. XP

[kahamom]

This is Asturias and is either Andres Segovia or John WIlliams playing- I believe it to be Segovia- ....I know his style...

[kahamom]

This is Asturias and is either Andres Segovia or John WIlliams playing- I believe it to be Segovia- ....I know his style...

[automaticman13]

FUUUUUCCCCCKKK!!!! The first 40 seconds is very similar to something I wrote.

[Cloud2424]

It was slash; but he had to change the music with musicswapper; because copyright :(

[Mohammed87alam]

This Is Asturias ...

[windmonkey95]

whats with people and putting the wrong artists

[juanfran304]

LOL ASTURIAS XD ¿Slash spanish guitar solo? XDDD

[ooosteve]

slash only wishes he was this good!

[SuperSaiyayinF4]

O_o

Woooaaaoo...

[15Palamita]

this is john williams...

[35wetimmyed35]

How can you say this is Slash ! SLash is nothing comparated to Asturias of John Williams, it's not the same category..If you don't know who's the player don't post !

[gbjorlin]

not slash... n00b

[Abradley1636]

wow way to discrace slash



[ruaifagos]

A quién se la quieren clavar??.....cuanto guiri ignorante....

[cremont2]

más quisiera slash

[pedo51]

eso es asturias imbecil como van a decir qe eso es slash slash.... no es...

[oliskill]

This is played by Andres Segovia , The man that revolutionised guitar and has effected guitar as we know it today.

[MACIEKxxxRABKA]

i think that is John Williams plaing... :/

[ianrkav]

@MACIEKxxxRABKA I think it's John Williams too! I have the track and I have played them back to back and they're identical.

[AlexDemaegdt]

Asturias - Isaac Albeniz

[tobiaslaarkegaard]

it´s frome spanish caravan by the doors.

[zxrockonxz]

ese no es slash

[WillHiccups]

Sounds like the Bourne theme from The Bourne Trilogy.

[juanse783]

no puedo creerlo slash tocando flamenco sera posible

[Gangly1]

Slash MA!! He couldn't play the first 10 bars of this piece.

It is either John Williams or Gary Ryan, playing Asturias (Leyenda) by Isaac Albeniz.

[PiercingTruth]

ya and if slash could play this, he wouldnt be a rock legend, he would be playing for tourists in cuba

[Freevo17]

its not slash dude... -.- this is asturias....

[Kornix1988]

sti cazzis :)

[TheEsteban95]

its of mm the simponiii!!!

slah not toa esa cancion

[felipoyoalegria]

esta no la toca slash la tenia en el celular pero la borre xq ya la saque je pero no me acuerdo el nombre del que la tocava

[DanielPhysiker]

wharever one can be playing this god damn song cause there no video of slash playing.

[fox119]

This is like a man without legs playing Mozart double bass drum solo..

[TheAppieJj]

?? slash's playing this?? i didn't know he was a classical guitarist too!

[wizzzeeee]

Slashi snake?..Howlin Wolf comin from Davey Lee??? Right....then get 'im on it eh?...Wizzzeeeee snakey, a great friend!

[RohamK96]

hehe your funny...slash...asturias...lol­...! its like a 2 months baby driving a van...lol...!

[mattstank]

Actually, there is a bootleg of Slash playing Asturias. I think the creator of this video got it mixed up with the bootleg. And yes, Slash can definetely play this. Listen to Paradise City, that's pick/fingerpicking (chickenpicking). Asturias isn't hard once you learn how to fingerpick. ;)

[smellycow6]

there is tremelo in that to do and that would be tricky to chicken pick but I dunno I've never seen slash play much acoustic

[mattstank]

This isn´t chicken picking. That´s when you use your pick and fingers. Listen to One in a Million if you want to hear Slash play acoustic.

[smellycow6]

I know haha thats wat im saying he mostly uses a pic :)

[szekelymihai]

ah such a good song and my, what a solo, though some peeps say it's one of the most racist song GNR has. Of course, thats because of AXL

[PiercingTruth]

@szekelymihai

i dont know what comment youre replying to, but slash is mulatto, i dont think gnr has really racist songs, read the lyrics carefully, axl is a master lyricist, you need to read between the lines

[gingershavenosouls89]

i dont even think this is a song its an exercise in spanish/flamenco guitar(atleast the beginning is) with a few of the players variations and speed

[wolfrg300]

the guy in the picture isn't even slash its the guy from coheed and cambria

[berziga2000]

oh please would anyone give me the name of this song

i love it and its for sure not from slash

way way far

[dzoya1266]

asturias

[gtrman217]

Asturias (leyenda) by Issac Albeniz. Its originaly for piano and it was later transcribed to guitar.  class tab . org

has good tabs.

[InfectiousFX]

Lmao, this isn't Slash

Slash can't play half of this.

[JumpingTomato]

But it's still a great piece of music :)

[Jungleboy867]

It clearly says buy this song from john williams and not slash

[96aromaz]

mayb it was written by john williams but coverd by slash

[chrismortloch92]

definatly not slash

[pullingfabio]

asturias... not slash.

[wolfgang29]

this isnt slash

[gasparpeti]

Slash really has a spanish guitar solo, but i dont know is this from slash. I read in his book that he went to spain learn spanish guitar for a movie soundtrack.

[amitlahat]

mira que ay que ser idiota esto esto lo toca andres de segovia no slash

[AleBarca10]

andres segovia. or albeniz.

[tkcare007]

paco de lucia

[stef1367]

thats not slash,that is john williams playing

[geniluarca]

wtf!

Is NOT a solo.

Is NOT Slash.

It's a classical piece called "Leyenda - Asturias", composed by Isaac Albéniz the first decade of XX century.

I'm spanish, I know what i'm saying...

[Gangly1]

You are right in everything you say, except this is a solo piece (ie. not a duet) and is played here by either John Williams or Gary Ryan. I have both recordings, but can't be bothered to retrieve them to see which it is.

Either way, it is certainly NOT Slash or Paco De Lucia.

[PeopleLetMe]

@geniluarca its ALSO slash, its well known every normal real guitarist knows this piece, and slash does too

[geniluarca]

@PeopleLetMe yeah, it's a well known song, but I can't imagine slash playing it... Simply: it's a spanish guitar, if you want to do a "rasgueado" (0:51) you must have long nails, and play like your nails as pick. I can't imagine Slash with long nails...

[PeopleLetMe]

@geniluarca well actually my guitar teacher showed me and told me that he can play it, and he didn't use a pick or has long nails... so i believe it is possible

[ricaard]

@geniluarca You don't need to be Spanish to know that Slash probably couldn't play this...

[TheWyldeSlash]

@ricaard i dis agree..i bet he can ..he has played spanish before

[ricaard]

@TheWyldeSlash He's probably trying, now that 65,000 people think that he did...but, no....

[vomitao]

I love Slash, but he´s not playing here, it´s Paco de Lucía, a spanish guitarrist... I´m spanish guys, i know

[Gangly1]

It is as much Paco De Lucia as it is Slash!!

This is JW, or Gary Ryan. See reply to geniluarca above in comments.

PDL plays this with much more flare and in a totally different style.

[negro77]

eso es Paco de Lucia

[AstriBlair]

woahhh!!this really Slash here?

awesOMe!!

[PhaelMalini]

to download this song, use the software VDOWNLOADER, and select the option MP3 (audio only) at OUTPUT FORMAT

quick n easy...

[Andreika1990]

¿Is Slash playing a Spanish guitar?

Dioooss (L)

[kbn16]

Hasn't anyone listened to or heard of Sabicas?

You would be bombed in Spain!

[dannymcclain2008]

I know I CANT FIND THE TUNE i heard before neither I think it was called Spanish armada but I know this is not it

[goddago42]

Slash is very talented and can play this very well.

Take a look at the master "Andres Segovia", then, and only then will you appreciate the real beauty of guitar.

[scratched86]

Anyone know who really plays this song? I know it can't be Slash and I've been looking everywhere to figure it out but with no luck.

[johannsen]

Asturias by John Williams

[hotwogsteve]

Fantastic!!! where can i download this from??

[psohi]

youtube, if you use the right tools.

get fire fox, then use the add on " download helper " to download this as an flv, now get total video converter, and use it to seperate the audio from video, then use the total video converter to convert the audio into mp3 format.

[rasmuslknudsen]
