Pino reminds me of a mad scientist when he plays haha. I make some pretty weird faces when playing too though. All jokes aside, along with his amazing technique and style this guy is all heart! U can tell he is living the music as he plays it! Keep playing that art Mr. Forastiere!
Are you any relation to Chet Atkins, If he was still living he would have loved your style on the guitar, your facial expressions are the same as chets when hitting the tough chords through out this wonderfull song you just belted out, Thanks for giving us the opertunity to hear you play that piece of art.
i dont know about anyone else but listening to his playing, is like one of those really sad parts in a movie that almost makes you want to break down and cry sniff.........................................but im a man and i hold in my feelings and have frustrated sex with my girl, hahahahahahaha just playin. but i got to hand it to this guy he does the spanish guitar justice
I dream of the day that no one has a clue who Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus are and think it's ridiculous that you don't know who Pino Forastiere is. =)
This piece is beautiful not because it is technical but because the player has an intimate touch. It swells and fades effortlessly with no seam and every note carries a sense of lightness and weight.
As a long time player and listener I can't think of few greater praises than to say that when I listen to a song, I can feel every single note and my mood changes dramatically with its ebb and flow. Pino does that here and the scary thing is - he can take it alot further. One to watch for sure.
Love your words, what truly amazes me is Pino's show of emotion as he plays his music. I found a vid where Pino plays with two other fantabulous musicians as himself, "Funky Sex Republic" is truly a fun beautiful piece to melt right into. I play it so much that it may disappear from over use. : -) I am sure you may have heard it, if not you got a path to it now. rpoland posts some awsome picks. Peace and Love! ; -)
@WanderingKid Magnificence a Master that is thrilling my soul. Such voicing going on; why I love the masters face shown for it gives you the whole experience. LOVE your words I ditto them. Such a blessing to have these gems to send to those you want to cheer or show that you care about. These gifts are PRICELESS; they reach to our soul. How fantastical for sure. Such fingering and calmness yet strength shown; gentleness, compassion 'alllll things you would want in a lover.' Awesome.
It looks like a Martin to me. Just from the guitar head. I actually have a 1976 Alvarez acoustic, but I believe that that Alvarez's were crafted after some Martin models. idk
This guy is like a music genius, all of his pieces flow unbelievably well....He also appears to be the "darkhorse" on the Candyrat label, expirementing with strange and eeire sounds and ultimately producing the most interesting work I have heard out of all of Candyrat's players (though I still thouroughly enjoy the others).
Well Pino isn't more skilled than Dufour or vise versa. There totally different.(To greggyt87) But I would have to say I think I enjoy Mckee's style a bit better. It's so hard; they are all phenomenal on Candyrat!!
Actually if you ask me most people that are self taught tend to get way better music, because they are always thinking inside the box, they are always trying to learn more for themselves and tend to come up with things that most technique musicians wouldn't understand.
It may be true that more self taught people make good music, but it's not because people who had a teachers are dumbasses that can't think outside the box.
it's because if someone self taught himselfto this level, it means he LOVES what he does, and this love is what makes him produce great music.
people who were taught to play\compose and love it as much as self taught people could produce music of the same\better quality.
I think, from observation of myself and other musicians, that you are quite true for one. But I think that "self taught" individuals seem to do more, as figuring out and instrument is not just playing the way everyone else plays, you have to figure out your own way, and by doing so you discover endless possibilities. And to a point, a more creative touch. Secondly, I am self-taught, but my brother and countless others who take lessons don't enjoy instruments near as much as those like me.
@MartaineJr I think teaching yourself takes longer, due to trial & era, but worth it cus u develop your own style. But sooner or later every1 ought 2 study up, cus u need to know the rules b4 u break em.
@MartaineJr Becoming a master of music is subjective and you're both dumb. If you knew how these guitarists and composers became great you'd be one of them. Don't advertise your ignorance people, just listen to the music without trying to act like you know jack about it, because you probably don't unless you study in music school or spend lots of your own time studying music as I have. I've met lots of musicians like Pino and the only pattern in their musical backround is that they work hard. :)
@266lah lol I don't see how knowing how someone became great at something make me capable of being as great as he is. I have a good friend that is a great mathematician. I know almost everything about him: where he studied, what he found out along the way, who he met and how it influenced him.. anything related. I am good at math, but i don't have the mental capacity, nor did i choose to invest my time and try to become nearly as good as he is.
btw please work on you're attitude when commenting
@MartaineJr errr, thats not the way I understand it. I feel like like being over-taught makes you focus too much on technique and tempo and lose some of the creative flavor that you have when you just pick it up and start making sounds. Its great to have technique under your belt but i think when it becomes too over-stressed, the emotional and musical side starts to lose out. I cant never play to a metronome for this exact reason while im composing, i lose my attachment with the emotion
You might need to research and consider all meanings of the word "deepness", then restate what you just said googlekopfkind. You might reconsider. Deepness doesn't have to imply dark (or minor chord-sounding) songs. Andy plays more joyous tunes, but that doesn't make them any more shallow. I think you'll find that the opposite might be true if anything.
with deepness i mean ... if you hear a song from britney spears u have no feeling u are not in focus the emotion is to low .. and i mean that this song shows more.... the music of antoine and andy havent it i think so ... sry for my eng
honestly i encourage you to work on whatever in your perception thats keeping you from hearing the depth in there music stop comparing music and listen from your soul because andy antione and pino got some of the most emotional depth i have ever hear in music
Well it is true that Forastiere is much more captivating to an audience, and much more involved in the delivery of what he is playing. On that subject, he is immensely talented, I do realize now that his particular style is extremely unique, and in it's own very special right is more skillful than that of Dufour.
I don't know about comparing someone like Pino to Mckee or Dufour... Pino's music is a different "sub-genre" of fingerstyle I would say. Pino is more about minimalism where as Mckee and Dufour are just simply... not. So I don't really think it is a good/fair comparison.
No offense but I've been listening to Andy Mckee all morning, also from the label Candy Rat, and I must say this Pino character is pale in comparison to McKees form of art that he expels when he plays any and all acoustic guitars. Pino's on his way, just needs a few more years of practice, but how did get on the same record label is what I really want to know.
different styles of music, one mans trash is another man treasure. I greatly enjoy both artists, but this is very much more minimalist, where as dufour is the complete opposite
I'm curious, was there any adjustment to the audio besides EQ? Maybe some chorus? I'm not sure if what I'm hearing is phasing between the pickup on the guitar and the A-B configuration, but its a nice effect.
i'm no expert but what you could be hearing is a droning effect caused by ringing notes semitones apart played on different strings while being struck at different accents at differents places above the sound hole creating the string to produce the same pitch but not in the same frequency therfore sounds like chorus because the guitar resonates frequency 1,pitch 1 while frequency 2 ,pitch 1 is played.add a semitone with the same applied technique you get 4 frequencies in one similar range.
Yep being a guitar player myself, I know all about the different tone characteristics one could achieve by striking a string at different places along the body and the neck of the guitar. I believe what you're referring to is the harmonic series which result after a fundamental (a single note). Also, Pino Forastiere moves closer and further away from the mics which could alter the characteristics of the guitar slightly. Any angle we analyze, you see that Pino's skill is present.
@Schweinedarl - Yeah, no doubt. His positioning to the mics gave it that "chorus" I heard initially. He shifts alot, so its really interesting to listen to.
the repetition of this piece is what gives it natural harmony, we are but vibrations of recycled matter and this piece truly touches that part of me, very soothing to the being underneath the noise of man's ideals...wonderful composition!
I guess you could say that, but sometimes it feels to much like a drone. I really like that piece, its not that, but I would it if they put some more variation into it.
Yes, I do. What I meant is that there's a part or two where he keeps repeating the same piece, which doesn't even seem to sound that great but only he seems to enjoy repeating it.
Dear rpoland - if you will be posting anymore of the Forastiere videos from this recording session and if you take requests, would you please post: "L'Uomo Vuoto". I would like everyone who already loves Pino's work, to get ready to be blown away by what I feel is one of the most creative solo guitar tunes ever composed - L'Uomo Vuoto !
wow, fantastic. this guy should be writing and performing film scores. maybe he already does! if not he should find some up and coming director or something. This is very real talent and dedicated craftmanship, in my opinion. 10/10.
I'm constantly amazed by how smooth and relaxed this man's playing is, even when playing such harmonically challenging music. Many players would focus on the dissonance and bunch themselves up, get tight. Forastiere just lets it flow.
Music composed with such an ease so well, with so much art is a blessing to listen to... And the people like these artists at candyrat are so interesting, music and harmony just flow out of them in every aspect of their personalities... Makes me smile. :]
so much...emotion..

the repetition of this piece is what gives it natural harmony, we are but vibrations of recycled matter and this piece truly touches that part of me, very soothing to the being underneath the noise of man's ideals...wonderful composition!

I guess you could say that, but sometimes it feels to much like a drone. I really like that piece, its not that, but I would it if they put some more variation into it.
RobertJV24 2 years ago
sure, i know what you mean, he does that with a couple of his pieces, and as good as he is, he's not really one of my favs

It seems like most of the guitarist on this record label like to have very vague songs.

Not bad, but a little too self indulgent. 4 stars.

lol.... ? do you even know what self indulgent means?
alch3myst 2 years ago 3
Yes, I do. What I meant is that there's a part or two where he keeps repeating the same piece, which doesn't even seem to sound that great but only he seems to enjoy repeating it.
Eliasoz 2 years ago
Yea, but thats his piece... its his expression, I'm not sure how you can be too self indulgent in a creation of art.

Only Pino Forastiere sounds like Pino Forastiere.
He is one of the most unique guitarplayers, and one of my absolute favorites.

Dear rpoland - if you will be posting anymore of the Forastiere videos from this recording session and if you take requests, would you please post: "L'Uomo Vuoto". I would like everyone who already loves Pino's work, to get ready to be blown away by what I feel is one of the most creative solo guitar tunes ever composed - L'Uomo Vuoto !

he is a uber-advanced Vini Reilly (The Durutti Column)....... such ease... relaxed emotion.. a total flow of serenity.....

wow, fantastic. this guy should be writing and performing film scores. maybe he already does! if not he should find some up and coming director or something. This is very real talent and dedicated craftmanship, in my opinion. 10/10.

I'm constantly amazed by how smooth and relaxed this man's playing is, even when playing such harmonically challenging music. Many players would focus on the dissonance and bunch themselves up, get tight. Forastiere just lets it flow.
athre0 2 years ago 5
wow.... this is really one of your best songs. So much passion, emotion, truth and illusion is rare in songs!
5 Stars from me!

Now THAT'S music.
Music composed with such an ease so well, with so much art is a blessing to listen to... And the people like these artists at candyrat are so interesting, music and harmony just flow out of them in every aspect of their personalities... Makes me smile. :]
