Eduardo Díaz plays "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"

[driskoogle]

Sounds good to me, andyou yes I think Bach certainly would "like" this.

[Vilasiiiii]

¡Yo pagaría escuchar a esto!

[jpbluecontrail]

Great music, beautifully played and driven from within..

[mjl451]

Well done, I really enjoyed your arrangement!

Peace -

[fasr02]

Saludos. Muy bonita esa versión. De casualidad tienes partitura de esa versión?

[seonmi1412]

It's beautiful. Where can I get a high quality mp3 of this version? I want to have it played at my wedding. Thanks so much!

[tauromaniac]

tocas muy chingon amigo mio hasta baje el audio en realplayer para con esa despertarme en la mañana! BRAVO

[gembulss]

smile my man,,,...

[cnoyes82]

You look like you might be a guitar player second to...Cello? Very good playing, but it sounds like you could use a new mic, or maybe it's the acoustics of the room causing all the reverberation.

[daveaoxomoxo]

come on play it correctly.you have ruined this arrangement

[tadpole3535]

@daveaoxomoxo Don't be so anal. This is a gorgeous arrangement, and Bach would have loved to hear this new interpretation. Stop being a control freak by thinking there is only one "correct" way to play this.

[crawlinjohn]

Nice arrangement and playing.

[daveaoxomoxo]

Thats not played correctly? It sounds okay but com on Ludwig is turning in his grave.

[frenchydal]

@daveaoxomoxo It's written by Johann Sebastian Bach, not Ludwig Von Beethoven.

[tadpole3535]

@daveaoxomoxo Since the piece is 400 years old, we don't really know exactly how it was intended to be played. Relax and the beauty shine through.

[yarful]

omg. why is everybody playing the 1970s drum circle arrangement of this song.. at least w/out a capo you can stand listening to it. i dont want to feel like im holding hands swaying back and forth when i hear this song.. this arrangement is junk.

[emmtemma123]

@yarful Post a link to your arrangement and let us judge. Can you walk the walk? Or do you just talk?

[denebcito]

As a version is ok, but is everything but baroque...

[Halloojj122]

Man, this was 10 times better than David Qualey's. Awesome job.

[Xichomeh]

Gracias, por compartir estas, texturas, armonias, ritmos y melodias. Un Saludo desde La Mexihco Tenochtitlan...

[neverisap]

Ce morceau a une âme et vous la restituer parfaitement, merci !

[cswtds]

who is Eduardo Díaz, he is such an amazing musician

[GawenTaylor]

This really moved me Eduardo, do perform live at all?

[Irshkboy]

I like how you changed it enough to create a new sound and feel, but it is still clearly from Bach=)

[Dragonese1]

This is the most beautiful version of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring I have heard to date.

Edwardo Diaz is an extremely gifted artist. I could listen to this forever.

[lowhunter1]

I love the piece and I love the arrangement and the performance is mesmerising. But where can I obtain / buy the music - classical notation rather than tablature?

[djfcinc]

Just google Daivid Qualey - you can get it from his website for a couple of euros. I did. Beautiful piece.

Thank you. I did find is webshop and now have a copy.

[futnuh]

I'm not a Christian but this piece of music has always been a favourite. And Eduardo, this rendition of Qualey's arrangement is beautifully played ... thank you.

[jaimavatar]

Eduardo, when you kicked into gear -- goodness! I've heard many other guitar versions. This piece on the classical guitar is my favorite so far.

[mjrami]

Parece que tiene gana de dormir

[lw216316]

Eduardo, very lovely...I've made it a favorite. Jesu is truely the joy of human desire - may He live in your heart and bring you such great joy that it will cause you to smile as you play...

Larry in Tennessee - USA

[bergis81]

Dear Eduardo, thank you! You made want to learn to play the guitar. But more importantly you touched my hearth. I truly sense in you a fellow christian. All the best!

[lalodiaz]

Thanks for listening!!!! great to know you are interested in playing the guitar :-)

[alfalfa1214]

Eduardo..very, very beautiful and inspiring..

I did get a little chuckle at the 2:15 mark when I noticed you finally took a long, slow, deep breath..it IS an emotional piece...and a fine tribute to David Qualey's arrangement.

[lalodiaz]

Thanks, great arrangement by David Qualey.

[MguitarL]

[frankenmyrrh]

Magnificent and refreshing to my soul.

[kostangmekham]

Where can I find the tabs for this online?

[finkling]

I've been researching and finding many transcriptions for this piece to play at a wedding, and you're friend is by far one of the most innovative and emotionally laden interpretations ive heard. i adore your emotion and creativity and am very much in awe of your abilities. thankyou for sharing with the world

[lalodiaz]

Thank you!!! this is a great piece to play in weddings.

[jaimesias]

piannissimo, espectacular, buscare la version!!, te felicito man!!

[sarahemilies]

Hi Eduardo,

what is the tuning of this piece?

Thanks.

[lalodiaz]

DADGBE

[kipfeiffer]

One word - Amazing!

[heartbeat2thenation]

Although this is very beautiful, and all that. however it is not Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring, you have left a huge chunk out and put a lot of other stuff to the piece as nice as it is however a bit miss leading!

[lalodiaz]

Hey Thanks for your comment, this is an arrangement based of Bach piece made by David Qualey, and he put the same title. thanks!!!

[Coppertunes]

heartbeat2thenation forget about the in's and out's of all things right. This is well played and would be greatly appreciated at any occasion.

[heartbeat2thenation]

coppertunes, I did not say I did not appreciate it, he plays very well, all I am saying is that the title is missleading as it is an arrangement that leads into Jesus Joy of Mans Desiring not the actual piece, if you get my drift

[Coppertunes]

Your right heartbeat2thenation, i guess i just jumped in as i enjoyed this version and playing. Apologies, although Eduardo does say in the info that it is an arrangement by David Qualey !

[fuzakenaideyo]

This is so incredibly beautiful!!! I feel like crying because it's just full of emotion. Thank you for sharing your lovely talent.

[greenie247]

I love this. I want this played for my wedding instead of the traditional wedding march. And I love him playing it more than David Qualey... He plays it with more emotion and it is simply beautiful.

[cuchoche]

Simply wonderful.. Best version I have seen on You tube so far. You are a very gifted musician. Carry on posting your work.

[bluesgunner]

Simply wonderful.

[ohmicnomad]

WOW!!! I play this one a little but you are definintely a master!! Thank you for sharing!

[forey86]

what is the intro you are playing? im trying to learn jesu of mans desiring right know. i normally just play my own things one guitar, its hard to learn through tabs haha and i cant read music yet. thanks

[womenhealers]

Heavenly...soulful, beautiful, moving. One of the very best players on youtube... Bravo!

[cyw626]

Very Beautiful

I would like to get the music score.

Where can I get the music score ?

[lalodiaz]

Thanks!! please visit david qualey home page just search for david qualey and there he sells the music.

[prey225]

this touched my soul. Beautiful. Keep playing.

[lalodiaz]

thanks for listening :)

[brandonmoore24]

best ive seen on youtube

[jsandovalman]

MUSIC STRAIGHT FROM GOD.

[soulseer08]

There's something to be said for tact or class. No one has ever "had" me. Simply because I have maintained everything. I'm the one with the magic. Like Jon. Most people like Alan, Eric, etc. we forget about. It's the one's with the magic we remember. Thank you Eduardo. Jesu is an important song because it was written by Bach (whom an angel told me about in a dream). Jesus is the lord. That's why it's important.

[RagingStormX]

Boss man...you rip the shit out of that song playa. Trust me...you have given me a goal to reach for....I feel like I should have paid to hear you play that....most excellent performance on that right there.

[lalodiaz]

Thanks for listening im glad to know you enjoy it!!!!

[joselothomassiny]

Lalo...siempre me encantara esta musica...maxime como tu la interpretas...haces sentir a mi Jesus tan cerca de mi,tan cerca de todos...Gratzie

[lalodiaz]

Gracias por tu comentario me da mucha alegría que te haya gustado y además yo

también siento lo mismo. saludos!!!

[SolarEform]

One of my favorite pieces of music. I gave this 5 stars because it is played with a flawless flow and the sound is incredible. Thank you Eduardo!

[lalodiaz]

Thanks for listening!! i think its a great arrangement by David Qualey :)

[jergola]

tears are falling tears of love.

this song reaches the soul.

[jergola]

You bring the guitar to it's maximum beauty.

I like your Greensleeves version also.

You choose the best of songs, and bring more

spirit than anyone can describe.

It is unbelievable. It is like heaven.

[lalodiaz]

thanks!!!

[tmartin3]

what tuning do you use?

[lalodiaz]

this is DADGBE

[waldoslim]

This song is the most beautiful song Ive ever heard for the guitar, I didnt knew aboout it but I saw your video and u play FANTASTIC, u are really really good!! All my respects to you! U have a great ability with your fingers, I watch this video almost every day cause the song is really good. Congratulations!

[indochinatours]

Played with one who not only knows the music but feels the music in their soul. Fantasic exposition of the timbres of the guitar with rich flavors of cello, brass and pianissimo played not with measured contemplation but from deep wells within the heart. Beauty without need of description.

[lalodiaz]

thanks!!!! i think David Qualey's arrangement of the song is great is a beautiful song!!!!

[andrewscfc]

partita / Musical score

[andrewscfc]

(Using translating on line)

Eduardo! Wonderful!

My name is André Corrêa, is Brazilian!

Its way to touch and its feeling, transform my heart!.

Seeing you to touch, are motivated to retake my studies although my age of 29 years. Recently, with difficulty, I touched "Lágrima" and "Despertar". Taste very of this style of music.

To touch "Jesu, Joy of Man' s Desiring" still it is a distant dream but I am trying. It would very like to know where meeting the partita of this music with this arrangement.

[lalodiaz]

thanks for your comments im glad to know you are playing the guitar again, you can find the music score at david qualeys home page just search in google for david qualey thanks!!!!

[Lawrence19991]

This is a wonderfull interpretation of the song! Wow! I was wondering, so you have the tabs of the song on your computer, because I have a version of it, but I really love this one! Thanks for your help and music!

[perchequi]

interesting variation on the theme.

[Foxx1234567890]

HOw long did it take to perfect this song? I just ask because I am still trying to perfect "Romance".

[lalodiaz]

I dont exactly how long because it depends on how you practice it, the only thing i recommend is at first play it very slowly that with help a lot when you try to play it faster.

[Snaargek]

Hello Eduardo, I hear some different notes in your playing, in the 11e en 12e mesure and in the 65e till 68e mesure I hear you don't play one note of the last three per mesur, I think you don not play the d note.

Am I Right or am I wrong

Kind regarts

[lalodiaz]

Yes i play it different than is written sometimes. Also if you hear David qualey video, is different than the sheet music.

[libertyisbest]

lol. i learn this stuff in my guitar school at the moment, but just the simple notes. you are very genius guitar player. i enjoy very much to see how this piece would play correct. thanx for showing this great video here

[lalodiaz]

tHANKS!!!

[number1scatterbrain]

Eduardo, you are not playing this piece in standard tuning, are you? Is your guitar tuned D-A-D-G-B-D, low to high?

[lalodiaz]

Is in drop D tunning D-A-D-G-B-E

[number1scatterbrain]

Thanks Eduardo, I'm going loco here trying to figure it out...

[number1scatterbrain]

By the way, your picado (left-hand technique)

is impressive, very even tone and attack...

[number1scatterbrain]

Excuse me, I meant your right hand, gee whiz,

I don't even know right from left...

[number1scatterbrain]

Okay, I think that you are tuning the guitar

D-A-D-G-B-E, low to high; is that correct?

[lalodiaz]

Yes thats correct.. thanks for your comments

[number1scatterbrain]

Bravissimo, Eduardo. Excellent rendition of so beautiful a composition. Please post more of your performances.

[Snaargek]

Hoi Eduardo, you play it very smooth and awaysome, is it hard to learn or not, because I am going to buy it to and try to play it.

keep on posting your nice playing

kind regarts

[ArcticGuardiaN]

Actually it's harder than it looks... or at least that was my experience when I purchased the sheets...

[lalodiaz]

Hi, I think is a very interesting arrangement you have to learn it practicing at first very slowly and i think you will not have any problems.

[stargazzinn62]

Wonderful job. Thanks for the inspiration, fantastic all the way around. Made it a favorite.

[LORDCHISTOSIN]
