[thepza]

Oh my! This sounds amazing on guitar! Well done.

[trigorrr]

Acabo de escuchar a Williams y no logra hacerme sentir lo que usted si. Muchas Gracias por tan sentida ejecución, mucha música y salud para usted amigo.

[thegreatstephano]

*wakes up*

"hmmm oh yeah... video.."

[loupgarouxxxify]

Gracias Antonio. Un saludo y un abrazo.

[hariskrijestorac]

Beautiful performance of a beautiful song!

[itsmedude1020]

You don't happen to have a recording of this piece on CD or Mp3 do you?

[Onimaryu]

Fucking awesome!

[campanilla11197]

eres un fenomeno

[Kristopful]

This piece is perfect for the guitar....the execution is just incredible. Satie would approve of this interpretation greatly.

[sonicase]

very nice man

[Ojoe2010]

Exellent! I love how you catch the atmosphere! You breathe Satie, Bravo!

[SarahAMD]

This is amazing. If you haven't watched "The Painted Veil" yet, do so, please. The movie is just as good as this performance.

[SuperFaflon]

omg! I thought that it was not a good idea.. but when I heard first chords... I feel enchanted...

greetings from Poland

[redformun]

すごいね！

[honeyweed55]

that was amaaaaazing, truly felt it, thank you

[doe323]

i never heard this on a guitar before,it is dark and meloncholic.... beautiful

[PixieChic447]

This very beautiful, very beaufitul mind me asking do you teach? I really want to learn online :) Thank you :)

[sofakinn]

You sir, are my new hero.

[emperorles]

This dude's an alien. His guitar playing is out of this world!

[TonyMistry]

Thank you for uploading this! :)

[jimlappin]

I have only recently started to learn to play the guitar. I am making slow progress, but when I see another human playing like this - this gives me a lot of motivation to keep at it with the hope someday I could be able to play like this.

Thank you for this.

[renatovcortereal]

*****

[ColinBurnside]

Oh what can say. Wonderful everything was perfect. Notice you played an 8 string Guitar. Very emotional. Thanx CGSNI

[KARVAYO777]

astonishing.

[quaskx]

i've looked at all the guitar versions of this piece on youtube and this is the only one i really like.

[finnbjerke]

This is wonderfull

[FedeChR]

wow! Impresionante! me encanta!! Perfecto!!

un saludo desde Barceloka!

[Vespur]

sigh...that was played with soul, it had me holding my breath it was so emotional. A joy to listen too.

[maycolombia]

wow, not as chilling as Satie in piano, but still lovely

[TubeSpoker]

Even with some loss in audio quality, you listen Segovia, it´s Segovia. Well, even with that I do know that this is so far one, or THE BEST interpretation of Gnossienne No. 1 on guitar. Sometimes people as I feel that some songs are not made to be played on some instruments, but the appears a Great, with capital ´g´, interpreter and shows that is as matter of pauses, correct attack, pure feeling.

[AdamCantanhedeDuarte]

muito bom, mesmo

[thetarafae]

Captivating....

[tikipunch27]

Beautiful! One of my favorite songs played on guitar.... Wow que bello sonido mi amigo.

[gembela07062001]

I like this piece anyway, but the two extra strings and of course your exceptionally determinate yet gentle touch make it even more magical. Thank you for this treat, your fan,

Gergely

[onionkeeper]

This piece works so well with the added depth of that A-bass. I love the timbre. Nice arrangement and interpretation. Slow, but beautifully played

[inglesdeconversacion]

Que maestraso!!! Me alegro haberlo encontrado en youtube. Qué gran sentido del ritmo y de la interpretacion, y que limpieza de sonido!!

[ManAmongGods]

sounds great! the only thing i must say is that there are no dynamics in tempo, and to me, that brings a good part of the song out.

otherwise, the playing is beautiful

[mxb531]

you've captured it utterly perfectly

[latereyesman]

just great.

[Vespur]

OOooo..I loved the piece, I can close my eyes and it takes me away.

[fractuss]

Shivers down the spine...

[jahfish42]

TAB is available free on the internet. But it won't show the intricaies of the timing properly! Can be played on a 6 string in standard tuning

[sdtn666]

where i can found this TAB?

[sdtn666]

Great! Tab of this version? Please!

[antoniolopezp]

I don't know about a tab. I learnt it directly from the piano score, this you can easily buy through internet.

Thanks for your comment

[streefneef]

amazing

[pccalcio]

i think i'm gonna cry...

[zundey2000]

that bad?

[spiritoddity]

Antonio Lopez is not an amateur guitarist. He is a professional guitarist form Mexico.

[valerie6006]

Beautiful.

[xbendor]

great execution !

loe the facial expressions too ;)

[PyroclasticMind]

masterfull,

can it be done to play this piece on a 5 string bass??

I keep getting stuck

[Shirito]

Gracias Antonio!! Gran versión.

[torpeligneB]

C'est une mélodie pour retourner chez soi, longtemps, un jour.

[toodleoo88]

This particular Erik Satie piece, always makes my cry. This amateur guitarist is TRULY BRILLIANT and yet has to be discovered !

[jessisastoner]

awesome, entrancing, education, emotional!

[Dracapalley]

Here I am, back again. Love your playing.

[antoniolopezp]

Welcome back!

I visited you and enjoyed your playing very much!

[Dracapalley]

Thank you very much. You're truly an inspiration!

[Dracapalley]

Thank you very much. You're truly an inspiration!

[jorgegessle]

Que tal maestro, recuerdo algunos ayeres emocionarme con aquel fantástico casette (todavía) del terceto de la ciudad de mexico, mis primeros contactos con el mundo de la guitarra clásica, así es que de alguna manera usted fue participe en que yo decidiera aprender a tocar este único y maravilloso instrumento, y ahora, al escucharlo con todas estas obras maravillosas y ese sonido tan peculiar que posee usted, vuelve aquella motivación por seguir tocando.

[antoniolopezp]

Hola, Jorge.

Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!

[radrandall]

.. quelle tristesse .. tres bon fait, Antonio

[kidgloves2]

VERY nice! May I ask who makes your guitar and how you tune it?

[antoniolopezp]

The guitar was built by Abel Garcia from Paracho, Mexico.

The tunning for this particular piece is A E B G D A E A

Saludos

[labalou]

Hola Antonio,

tocas excellente Erik Satie es uno de mis compositores preferidos!

te queria preguntar en donde puedo obtener una guitarra como la tuya o de q forma puedo contactar al señor Abel.Yo soy mexicano de baja california pero tengo ya varios años residiendo en Alemania.

Muchas gracias!

saludos

Luis

[RedKingSnake]

fantastic, very well done.

[Eztoez]

Really nice

[KlodeB92]

Very talented rendition of this melancholy not too say sad piece .Bravo !

[chacho989]

wooo increible¡¡¡me encanta¡¡no creo k aga falta k yo te lo diga,pero eres un crack¡¡

[tietziano65]

che tristessa infinita . . .mitico!

[orsaki]

wonderful interpretation!

[Johanofsweden]

I love how this guitar looks. The temperated frets you know

[aandwrootb33r]

fanned frets, you mean? tempered frets are wavy and crazy.

[rodmallia]

That was a fantastic interpretation, Antonio. Very well done indeed!

[kacaku]

BIG TALENT

[NP30NL]

this piece sounds very good on both guitar and piano, i like the lower notes on a guitar and the higher ones on a piano

[MagnifiMurphy]

I just lose myself when I listen to this piece

& you play it perfectly!

5 Stars

[Blutmond666]

makes me depressive, because I know, that I'll never be able to play it so beautifully - just haven't got the talents for it :(

[lobotomer]

try harder, talent is something you learn, not something you are born with. flame on

[Ariesbetch]

Estoy enamorado! Simplemente hermoso....como es mi Espanol?! hahaha! Sounds amazing on the guitar. That sexy Latin sound... Bravo x

[jahfish42]

Wonderful my friend!. A very atmospheric version of a truly special piece

[maikohara6]

wow

asombroso,una muy bella composicion

felicidades

[GinoTheSinner]

very good. atmospheric

[guitarkiller666]

por eso digo que ya los encontre jejeje

[tmpomotv]

every time I asked the heavens I got no answer...

why would someone share a moment like this? as the composer and now the interpreter...

to make us feel humble? to help us see beyond what the eye can't see?

I owe you an incredible moment...and you owe me 500 tears...

thank you for the emotion surrounding me after the song had finished; for being a true artist, for helping me contemplate life from a different perspective.

you are a very inspiring individual; maybe thats your talent...

[antoniolopezp]

I am very moved by your comments. Thank you so much for taking the time to post them and to share your thoughts with me. ¡Gracias!

[estimatedeyes]

Exactly...this is what Satie intended!! You are superb!

[nonexponential]

In my opinion this is the best interpretation

of this piece by any artist on any instrument.

Thank you for sharing your talent.- Athan

[nonexponential]

Hauntingly beautiful interpretation. The best of

this piece I have heard on the internet by any

artist on any instrument.

[onehotxfirefighter]

Your work is fantastic! Beautifully played

[lordskalipsoul]

beautiful....extremely moving...this tune is breathtaking and your interpretation is outstanding...love it!

[stringer3bell]

Beautiful and emotional love your work!

[armadine2]

The best performance for me so far on my surf through the net. Even the pause earned the right to be heard.

[mg3d]

fantastic!

[BirdmanWayne94]

The best performance of this piece I've ever heard. You put feelings into each note you played which certainly was fantastic... amazing rendition my friend. Thank you for such a masterpiece...

[antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much for your comnments!!! It's so heart-warming to find them when I open this page, thanks!

[uuunderground]

Puedo escribir los versos mas triste esta noche.....

[17371claude]

superbe interprétation, génial

[maximusdudeus]

I was just stting here listening once again to your most beautiful rendition of this song and it has inspired me to pick up my guitar after 5 years of not playing it at all and I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to do so.

I look forward to hearing number 5.

[NameNotaNumber]

Beautiful! This is quite an easy tune to play technically - and yet so easy to play without feeling. You however really make it flow the way it's supposed to!

Any chance of arranging Gnossienne no.5 sometime? It's my all time favorite piece of Satie, although a little harder to arrange for guitar I'll bet.

[antoniolopezp]

I have arranged gnossienne no. 5. It is also one of my very favorites. Unfortunately my 8-string guitar is now at the shop having a few adjustments made. As soon as I get it back I'll work on filming no. 5..

Thanks for your comments

[NameNotaNumber]

Excellent! I will really look forward to hearing it...

[onbendedknees]

we are waiting !!!!!! *smile*

[maximusdudeus]

I listen to a lot of music on youtube, it's my way of finding new music and musicians.

I do not consider my an expert in music, but on the odd occasion, I do feel I can spot an good musician now and then.

But in this instance, I think it more precise to say, that you sir, are a true Genius.

I loe the way you play, with such raw and passionate emotion.

Thank you for putting this and your other music on youtube.

[arakku111]

u r ,,, indeed .... gifted !!!

[jestershead1959]

Such passion. I adored this. Thank you so much.

[skadborg]

Really nice, thank you for posting

Did you know that Sertab Erener (2003 Eurovision winner) used this music in one of her songs? It`s called 'Sarıl Bana', means 'Hug Me'; for further info, the name of the album is 'Sertab', and it`s released in 1999.

MY FUNERAL SONGS....

[FajitaBob]

I'd never heard this on guitar before, and I was a bit skeptical... but this is incredible! Great job!

[iwonalucia]

Joined you tube just to say how hauntingly beautifully you play this

[antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much. I'm very flattered by your comment.

[mikeg642000]

[welldunneav]

That was, without a doubt, sex.

[antoniolopezp]

Sex!!?? Wow!

[Organistcomposer21]

Amazing! I personally think that this is even better than on a piano! I must find a way to play it on my six sring. :-)

[antoniolopezp]

It's not difficult to play it on a six-string. It works fine too.

[Barca87]

Great, what tuning would you recommend for a 6 string?

[antoniolopezp]

The traditional tunning should work nicely. Thanks for your comment

[drefff]

waouuu !!! no comment

[archimondehs]

great song

[Niikkoooo]

beautiful, elegant, haunting. just incredible

[bigapan]

Wow,

Increible, mil gracias por este post me toco el alma! Bravo!

[antoniolopezp]

Muchas gracias por el comentario!

[ninovolador]

well , its great but there are somes "pull off?" -i dont speak english- that could be more simple (or "plain").

[antoniolopezp]

Hola.

Gracias por escribir. ¿A qué te refieres con "pull off"? ¿Te refieres a "ligados"?

Saludos.

[Midifez]

Mi pieza favorita de Satie... podría oirla todo el dia. GRACIAS.

[antoniolopezp]

Hi,

I play this piece on an 8-string guitar. I read it straight out of the music score. Sorry, I don't know if there is a tab for a six-string.

[vicks141]

[trr12]

Exquisita musica, e interpretacion!

[timpaulcope]

Perfection.

[timpaulcope]

Perfection. If I were the head of an alien invasion intent on destroying earth and I heard that I would give the humans a break and go and have a cup of tea or something.

[akaminehidetoshi]

this is the real music

bravo!

[raulemilianoleon]

La vocación, musicalidad, experiencia, y dedicación es la unica razón por la cual este hombre es música en sus venas.

Que delicia escucharlo.

[antoniolopezp]

muchísimas gracias por los comentarios. De todo corazón.

Antonio

[soapropos]

this piece is like a lullaby.

[fl4vio]

Awesome, really a master work ! A 7th string just does fine in this music ! GREAT GREAT playing, a master work.

[ORaynaut]

Full of feeling ! Just amazing !

Is there anyway to get your transcrition 'cause I'd like to play it really a lot ?

Thank you anyway for your performance.

[antoniolopezp]

Gracias so much!!

[seramon07]

[antoniolopezp]

It's my own transcription.

[SoehneKurdistans]

Harikulade... tek kelimeyle harika bir yorum!... Eine geniale Interpretation! Erik Satie hat sich dieses Stück bestimmt genau SO! vorgestellt... Ich bin begeistert. DANKE!

[simerlab]

Almost Magical, so precious and so powerful.  Thanks. Also, your website doesn't seem to be working? We can't get connected to it from here in Paris. Manaz

[Agukeis]

PRECIOSO!!

[antoniolopezp]

...y la pieza no me sale tan mal ¿no? (broma)

[15Brick15]

Flawless.

[antoniolopezp]

Thanks!

[eckofan12]

Please buy me a copy of your guitar and be my private tutor.... that's really amazing. Makes me want to just sit in a hammock, listen to the breeze, and watch the waves. Really well played, keep going.

[antoniolopezp]

You know something? To me that is more of an in-door piece. Very introverted, closer to the moon than to the sun.

Thanks for the comment.

[philalethes84]

couldn't agree more. and also; greatly performed. but then again I prefer the piano and recommend Klara Kormendi.

[ARANJUEZCM]

Hello Antonio, Happy New Year!

Your rendition of this piece is one of the VERY best. I can see that you are in trance, and so are we. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music and your emotions.

[antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much for that nice comment.

[ARANJUEZCM]

Hello Antonio,

[antoniolopezp]

Merci

[ksking2]

You are one of the most skilled guitar players I've found when it comes to flawless timing and use of vibrato
