I've been trying to learn Scarlatti L 387 for months, it's harder than it looks. 4:23 is a ridiculous finger stretch, my fingers are just as stubby as his and I can't do it.
everything from the baroque and classical period sounds the same...there's no real personality...i mean of course the styles are different but within baroque...if u threw up a vivaldi with a bach, I can believe they are by 2 of the same composers...I feel a lot of the music is so the 'same'.
@TheHandsomeCrab seriously!? how can a normal guitar player play like this guy or even cover this piece, and you say other people say his left hand technique is bad?! i'd say one thing man, those guys are all jealous.
What is upsetting is the fact that such great guitarists such as Aniello aren't as respected as several other guitarists despite their comparable assets. His left hand technique is flawless, and his right hand tone is beautiful.
They deserve better recognition, for it's comparable to the "best" (John Williams, Julian Bream, Christopher Parkening, etc.)
I wish there were more modern artists that incorperated such intelligent chord structures into modern music. It would be revolutionary... lol. Then maybe people would get away from I, IV, and V power chords. It's sad that the most basic forms of music can be so popular and actual works of art are thrown away.
@VonMeeganshmoot yeah , i totally agree with you . we live in a era of functionality and simplicity. we want all as efficient as possible , as quick and as simple as possible. this desire for speed and simplicity has been sadly transposed into music . people nowadays write music just for money , just for fame , but they dont realize that the quicker way is in 95% of cases the wrong one. proof : Johann Sebastian Bach , Domenico Scarlatti , Niccollo Paganini all wrote music (....)
@VonMeeganshmoot (....) because they wanted to transmit a feeling and not to be famous . lets see aside from paganini .bach and scarlatti became famous almost 100 yrs after their death.
I think the problem you guys are talking about is *fame*. Alot of artists cant separate *music for fame* and *music for passion*. We live in a *I want to be a superstar* era.
@danieldrums9 well yeah thats like saying that an amazing trumpet player couldnt play metal. dont get me wrong, i actually love metal but if this guy put half the work into metal that he did into classical he'd be a fucking monster
@danieldrums9 This guy could play circles around any metal guitarist. I guarentee he can play every scale in every mode in every pattern. He has more talent in his right pinky then a metal guitarest's whole left hand. Ask a metal guitarist if they can play classical. The best ones will say yes.
this guy is fucking amazing at what he does he plays it so smoothly and everything i love how he hit these hard ass fingerings so quick and good an incredible player and just some of the dymanic in it is pretty awesome
Gdup, Normally no one will take the time to tab such a complicated piece... especially since i believe that it was written for piano - so it is more difficult to play from tab anyway.
How could anyone dare give this a thumbs down? This guy, is an absolute extraordinaire in his ability to play such a difficult piece, not to mention his crisp and lively clarity, and dexterity.
there is nothing wrong with playing commercially geared popular or vocal styles of music, the beatles have recieved 50 years of increasing respect and acknowledgement because of the poeticism and sublime execution of their own hundreds of sometimes achingly simple compositions. pure technique is not a measure of worth within itself. how you create your own music with what skill you possess is the true goal. but true, most musicians and enthusiasts today are sickeningly uneducated in either.
For me.... he is the best guitarrist in the world. Look at the class and he way to play NO mistakes. All piece is clean. how i wish to play like that. ummm
@dunholy i completely agree with u that we should just enjoy music for the sake of music. However theres a point in how bad mainstream music has gotten that i consider it an issue. I have people come up to me and say that Jonas brothers and Falloutboy are so good at guitar. When i tell them that many people i kno and i are better they simply laugh in my face. Its a world of sellouts that put attractiveness over music.
I enjoy maaaany kinds of music, what i really like about this type of music is that sense of structure, of architecture ... this classical composers were like architects of music ... of course, not to mention this awesome performer, he's like a surgeon with that guitar! very precise... Awesome playing! I love scarlattis version. So, we have surgeons and architects! Na, just kidding. Great video! thanks for uploading!.
All very well, but it is completely unfair to dismiss these artists such as Nickelback as untalented. Thats a gross overestimation, as its music in its own right that many people love and enjoy listening to baare chords whether you like it or not.
it really doesnt matter if u read tabs or not, the only thing that matters right now is playing REAL music like this. Diverse complex music that requires beautiful technique and dexterity. If u fall to mainstream bar chord bands (nickelback, jonas brothers, fallout boy etc) then music has lost all purpose and meaning. The mainstream music industry that is being exposed to kids, teenagers and adults is a far bigger problem then reading tabs
@quijibon I agree that musicians like this guy don't get enough credit and recognition, but music should be about making songs that feel good to listen to instead of being purely displays of technique. If you can come up with music that satisfies the sonic palate by using several instruments, then go ahead. If you come up with something simpler and more rhythmically inclined that makes me want to bob my head, then cool. I don't see anything wrong with that.
@lJohnnyTheFoxl You are right, music should be for the sake of music, however u and many others that think this way usually do not consider what goes on behind the music. If you likes Kesha for example, because her music makes your head bob. Well kesha is not talented AT ALL. She talks and a robot is singing for her. This applies to many mainstream 'artists' and as this happens, real musicians who spend their life in music get ignored because they do not look as good as Justien Beiber or Kesha
@quijibon The difference is that most mainstream music is accompanied with lyrics. If one finds the right song with the right lyrics, it can be much more purposeful and meaningful than this music. However, I will say that I love this music and this video is fantastic.
@TheJoelD You see what you just stated is the very root to the problem. There is no meaningful mainstream music anymore whether there was any to begin that fact is irrelevant. Every ( and I mean 100% all) song from mainstream music is now about sex, love, drugs, partying etc. As this happens real music is ignored, why you ask? simply because the music industry has made mainstream music a modelling show. You get 'famous' in music for looking good. You dont need talent just autotune, search Kesha
@quijibon You're right. I should have clarified. I don't listen to what you call "mainstream" music. I don't listen to the radio or MTV or anything popular. However, it's the style that I am referring to. I listen to a lot of Christian metal (and a lot of Christian music in general) and it is far more meaningful than any classical music I could ever hear. Music alone can appeal to emotion. Words can appeal to reason and practicality. Words can help solidify a person's faith (as in my case with
@quijibon with Christian music). They can help a person to know he's not alone in his sufferings and that there is hope. I have yet to find these things in the music in this video.
@TheJoelD I do not want to bring religion into this debate for that has no relevance to my argument. My arguement is the fact that TALENT has and is still losing all its meaning because teenagers and young children think 'artists' like Jonas Brothers, Justin Beiber, Kesha, etc are talented. I could compose and play their music when i was 11 years old. Im not bragging because I know many other musicians who spent their lives in music as I did who are far better than me.
@quijibon I agree, but my point still stands. This kind of music isn't the only kind that has purpose and meaning. In fact, I believe that there is music that has much more meaning and purpose than this. If music is just about difficult, complex pieces that take a fantastic amount of talent to compose and play, then music has lost its best purpose. The best purposes are to praise God, to help improve or encourage the listener, and then entertainment. Talent helps a lot, but it isn't everything.
@quijibon the problem with this is that, unless taught properly, and dedicated enough time to, it can become incredibly frustrating, as this music requires a knowledge of theory that normal people don't have, and will never have. This is something you must develop while being very young, or you can never come even close to this level (by this level I mean feeling satisfaction while playing music ^^)
@quijibon Music has not lost purpose because it is not classical. People find enjoyment in music like Nickelback and Fallout Boy - I know I do. At the same time I appreciate the great art of this music and that 'modern' music has a lot to be grateful for from the inspiration of such music. That does not mean that 'modern' music does not have a place and that you should try and claim that it is rubbish.
@jdk946 The genre of the music has no relation to the purpose of music. Rap, metal, classical, alternative, pop is all considered music in my books. When I say 'purpose' I mean people such as yourself truly do not understand that the artists in the music industry are not talented whatsoever. Real musicians who have been in music since they were young could write a pop song when they were 11 years old and get famous. Yes, its true you can be very young and become 'talented'. Proof? Justinn Beiber
@quijibon Although it will often be true that classical musicians will be technically better than many people who play 'regular' music, you cannot make such a generalisation. Furthermore many people who chose to play mordern music are more than capable of playing classical also. What do you say to the members of Elliot Minor, are they untalented because they play in a rock band, despite years of classical training?
It is a very elitist position to take that someone cannot have musical talent unless they have been privileged enough to have wealthy parents who can afford to pay for the tuition of young children. If you take that viewpoint then you can do away with many great musicians.
Furthermore I would not consider Justin Bieber to be talented since he does not write his own songs. However, would I consider a band like Metallica to show talent? Most certainly.

@jdk946 It is a priviledge to have parents pay for your music education at a young age, however that doesn't change the meaning of talent. If you look at almost every mainstream pop artist currently they will be using auto tune. Technically everyone is 'talented' because they can sing on key with auto tune. I gaurentee you most if not all artists who use autotune cannot actually sing. Band wise, most bands now just use bar chords. Talented bands play technical riffs like Human Abstract does.
@quijibon Many singers do use autotune. However, not every band or singer does. Many bands do write complex pieces of music e.g. muse. Furthermore I was not trying to claim that classical musicians are not talented because they are privileged but that saying nobody is talented unless they have been around music from being young is far too restrictive. That does not take into account people who could have been just as good had they had the opportunity or those that started playing later on.
@quijibon trouble for beginners is that most of this type of music is not readily available in tab form if at all. most of it is in standard notation and a bitch to figure out because of the several different ways you can play something written in standard notation. it's not like piano where there is only one key corresponding to a given note: piano has one middle C, guitar has multiple. but yeah the more that people learn how to play this wonderful music and expand the genre the better.
@quijibon There is nothing wrong whatsoever with all of the new age mainstream stuff...except nickelback.
but seriously man, I love all the new age stuff, just like i love this stuff. You just cant really put the two up against eachother because its just two different things.
I have the Andres D. Marvi guitar, which he use to play and record for some time, now i,m selling this guitar. if somebody interested pleas contact me.
what pisses me off is i havent masterd enough semi decent pieces to improvise this, but i cant find a tab for anything this intricate. is my internet tab based learning doomed ?!?!?! (comic booc narator) "will he find difficult tabs/!?!?! " , "can he finally surpass the masters?!?!?!... only time will tell.."
LEARN NOTATION, the lack of classical guitarists who can't read original music is amazing these days. Classical Guitar goes hand in hand with classical music.
if you learn to read notes (actually much easier than tab after a while) you can learn bach, scarlatti, music written in alto clef, anything. ditch the tabs my friend, they only limit you as a musician. but i suggest some jason becker tabs like 'altitudes' or 'opus pocus'...that is as good as it gets in my opinion. still, knowing WHAT you are playing can only really comes from note reading...best of luck
ive been playing guitar by ear since i started playing guitar at 12. ive made it over half of my life without learning to read notes for a myriad of reasons, but lately ive been considering it. i read the music theory wiki page, but its a lot to take in. realistically, whats a ball park on how one with a descent understanding of music in the musical sense learning the paper end of it? where would i even start? btw, i agree, deciphering tabs has helped before, but generally they do suck
i heard eddie vh never learned to read music and he is a god. i learned notes from a mel bay book and then went into classical guitar. i would say with practice, you could sight read within a year. it really does become like reading a book. learning the solfeggio also allows you to hear (with your inner ear) written music w/o an instrument. i see it as being a guitarist vs a musician. understanding 16th century music is much easier than 20th century stuff. i started on tabs too good luck ;)
ya but eddie van halen was restricted in his playing, hes great in his genre but he could not perform or compete with musicians who are truly classically trained. however he is great and i love VH but im just talking strict understanding of music

However, it's the style that I am referring to. I listen to a lot of Christian metal (and a lot of Christian music in general) and it is far more meaningful than any classical music I could ever hear. Music alone can appeal to emotion. Words can appeal to reason and practicality. Words can help solidify a person's faith (as in my case with

@TheJoelD I do not want to bring religion into this debate for that has no relevance to my argument. My arguement is the fact that TALENT has and is still losing all its meaning because teenagers and young children think 'artists' like Jonas Brothers, Justin Beiber, Kesha, etc are talented. I could compose and play their music when i was 11 years old. Im not bragging because I know many other musicians who spent their lives in music as I did who are far better than me.

@quijibon I agree, but my point still stands. This kind of music isn't the only kind that has purpose and meaning. In fact, I believe that there is music that has much more meaning and purpose than this. If music is just about difficult, complex pieces that take a fantastic amount of talent to compose and play, then music has lost its best purpose. The best purposes are to praise God, to help improve or encourage the listener, and then entertainment. Talent helps a lot, but it isn't everything.

@quijibon the problem with this is that, unless taught properly, and dedicated enough time to, it can become incredibly frustrating, as this music requires a knowledge of theory that normal people don't have, and will never have. This is something you must develop while being very young, or you can never come even close to this level (by this level I mean feeling satisfaction while playing music ^^)

@quijibon Music has not lost purpose because it is not classical. People find enjoyment in music like Nickelback and Fallout Boy - I know I do. At the same time I appreciate the great art of this music and that 'modern' music has a lot to be grateful for from the inspiration of such music. That does not mean that 'modern' music does not have a place and that you should try and claim that it is rubbish.

@jdk946 The genre of the music has no relation to the purpose of music. Rap, metal, classical, alternative, pop is all considered music in my books. When I say 'purpose' I mean people such as yourself truly do not understand that the artists in the music industry are not talented whatsoever. Real musicians who have been in music since they were young could write a pop song when they were 11 years old and get famous. Yes, its true you can be very young and become 'talented'. Proof?

@quijibon Although it will often be true that classical musicians will be technically better than many people who play 'regular' music, you cannot make such a generalisation. Furthermore many people who chose to play mordern music are more than capable of playing classical also. What do you say to the members of Elliot Minor, are they untalented because they play in a rock band, despite years of classical training?

@quijibon cont.
It is a very elitist position to take that someone cannot have musical talent unless they have been privileged enough to have wealthy parents who can afford to pay for the tuition of young children. If you take that viewpoint then you can do away with many great musicians.
Furthermore I would not consider Justin Bieber to be talented since he does not write his own songs. However, would I consider a band like Metallica to show talent? Most certainly.

@jdk946 It is a priviledge to have parents pay for your music education at a young age, however that doesn't change the meaning of talent. If you look at almost every mainstream pop artist currently they will be using auto tune. Technically everyone is 'talented' because they can sing on key with auto tune. I gaurentee you most if not all artists who use autotune cannot actually sing. Band wise, most bands now just use bar chords. Talented bands play technical riffs like Human Abstract does.
quijibon 1 year ago
@quijibon Many singers do use autotune. However, not every band or singer does. Many bands do write complex pieces of music e.g. muse. Furthermore I was not trying to claim that classical musicians are not talented because they are privileged but that saying nobody is talented unless they have been around music from being young is far too restrictive. That does not take into account people who could have been just as good had they had the opportunity or those that started playing later on.

@quijibon trouble for beginners is that most of this type of music is not readily available in tab form if at all. most of it is in standard notation and a bitch to figure out because of the several different ways you can play something written in standard notation. it's not like piano where there is only one key corresponding to a given note: piano has one middle C, guitar has multiple. but yeah the more that people learn how to play this wonderful music and expand the genre the better.

@quijibon There is nothing wrong whatsoever with all of the new age mainstream stuff...except nickelback.
but seriously man, I love all the new age stuff, just like i love this stuff. You just cant really put the two up against eachother because its just two different things.

LEARN NOTATION, the lack of classical guitarists who can't read original music is amazing these days. Classical Guitar goes hand in hand with classical music.

if you learn to read notes (actually much easier than tab after a while) you can learn bach, scarlatti, music written in alto clef, anything. ditch the tabs my friend, they only limit you as a musician. but i suggest some jason becker tabs like 'altitudes' or 'opus pocus'...that is as good as it gets in my opinion. still, knowing WHAT you are playing can only really comes from note reading...best of luck

ive been playing guitar by ear since i started playing guitar at 12. ive made it over half of my life without learning to read notes for a myriad of reasons, but lately ive been considering it. i read the music theory wiki page, but its a lot to take in. realistically, whats a ball park on how one with a descent understanding of music in the musical sense learning the paper end of it? where would i even start? btw, i agree, deciphering tabs has helped before, but generally they do suck

i heard eddie vh never learned to read music and he is a god. i learned notes from a mel bay book and then went into classical guitar. i would say with practice, you could sight read within a year. it really does become like reading a book. learning the solfeggio also allows you to hear (with your inner ear) written music w/o an instrument. i see it as being a guitarist vs a musician. understanding 16th century music is much easier than 20th century stuff. i started on tabs too good luck ;)
