Michael Chapdelaine -- Recuerdos de la Alhambra

[MikeyIV]

I could play this better with one hand....I can't believe this guy won GFA that's embarrassing

[buckzilla01]

Oh jeeze..... Does anyone have video or audio of Alirio Diaz playing this song? Please post it, so this guy will see how it is supposed to be done.

[ominari]

I am already lvl 59, and have more than 75 Million coins. I have only been trying to play for 2 weeks. Should you wish to know the correct way I got that far read beatcafeworldXcom (replace X with . )

[BachSailMe]

astig k!!!idol!!!

[justinoalberic00]

I love this song!!!!

[jadebai]

He belongs to steel strings,not nylon ones.

[Estonianwoodsman]

@jadebai lol yeah t you shouldn't judge his playing based on this performance. you know he won the GFA back in the day right?

[1144554]

hmmm... galing na rin. buti di nasaksak sa pinas 'to. but yeah, michael chapdelaine, still number one.

[musictranscription]

I can write for you any sheet music

[zorkd]

when was he in manila?

[leandrobeikes]

un brano del genere non si può suonare su chitarra acustica! non farlo più... intesi?!?

[theanswer00]

chapdelaine una volta si è presentato da segovia con un pezzo nella trascrizione di segovia, ma con le diteggiature tutte cambiate.. e quando il maestro gli chiese perchè avesse cambiato le diteggiature, il tipetto rispose candidamente che così il pezzo gli piaceva di più

...arrogantello? XD comunque è bravetto

[nuuuvola]

infatti prontamente il maestro l'ha cacciato via...comunque questo pezzo lo suona proprio male .... aveva visto lungo segovia...un americano che suona recuerdos de la alhambra non può pretendere molto...

[theanswer00]

ehehehe, comunque non avrei mai voluto essere nei suoi panni!

[JohanJonssonGuitar]

I think a professional guitarist who call himself a classical guitarist should have a better tremolo... it's not that hard =)

[agentpissant42]

Word.

[iskrukutum21]

yeah.,, his tremolo is not so good.. but he is so special when he play steel srtings.. give him credit for that..

[VictorDanDan]

He is ok for steel strings.

But how to give credit for picking a wrong musical instrument.

If he practises it with a traditional classical guitar, the effect will be better.

[davidclassg1]

i don't think its his fault, the audio really sucks, way too much trebble wich makes it sound all scratchy, michael is awesome

[vidserg]

I have watched many classical guitarists, and all of them have mastered Recuerdos de La Alhambra, and I have to say, Michael made quite a few mistakes and the tone wasn't good. I've heard a lot from him, but this performance was not his best at all.

[TheThingsilove100]

@vidserg why don't you bother to point out the mistakes?

[gs20618]

not very good....

[Liranm89]

I'm a fan of michael chapdelaine, he is such a great guitarist, but tremolo is just not his best technique - he could've done better but it's not that bad

[OiOiSkinhead89]

Yeah, tremolo isnt the best technique. I think hes a fingerstyle guitarist and not a Flamenco guitarist. Juan Martin is a Flamenco guitarist but Michael Chapdelaine should better play fingerstyle.

[variationsonathemeof]

Michael Chapdelaine is a really talented guitarist but I dont think in tremolo,its just weird but so,tremolo is not balanced and scratchy.

[diegos93]

his tremolo sucks

[Alicebtoklais]

so let's hear yours

[mcgiver02]

bit it sounds preety good to me

[redmondsmith]

I agree. Michael is one of the few people who deserve the title virtuoso guitarist. I highly doubt these people with negative comments will ever attain his skill level. Including myself

[telephonemoose]

this isnt good

[paulroman13]

There are lot of Filipino guitar players who can perform Recuerdos. Can someone please post Hating Gabi by Molina and other kundiman pieces for the Filipno audience

[kujibo]

Thought it was a bit choppy to start, surprising after watching some other videos of his. However he plays his versions with great almost over the top dynamics and feeling, which I like and will take over dull flawless technique any day.

[xxcaxvi]

no me convence no se por q

[LadyRBlues]

One of my favourite songs of all time. Absolutely beautifully played like a master.

[videocorroncho]

que horrible tremolo, que siga con su fingerstyle

[CarlosMoon2006]

...better look for Andres Segovia or Paco de Lucia...no colour...

[sunaset]

lol

[fredericchopin1492]

very low. pretty

[Jakrahal]

looks like hes gonna throw up or pass out or something lol.

[danyluis]

Just wondering... Have you ever watched to a video of Kazuhito Yamashita? That guy sure moves on his seat. Even so, he's, by far, the most skilled guitarist today; highly criticized, yes, but still the only one that can play such difficult pieces. Research a little and see how it does not matter how still you are on your seat, what *really* matters is how colorful and touching you make your guitar sound.

[insaneguitarfreak]

YESSS

Yamashita is f"@#ing FLAWLESS!!!

[duendeflamenco1]

Being a classical guitarist does demand lots of dicipline. That's why only the strong survive.

[123yasss]

guessin its either classical guitar players or wanna be classical gutiar players who are commenting,I used to be a strict classical player but i found it to difficult to sit there and not be moved by the music or tap your feet ect.

[janwillem22]

Nice and moving peace, but didn't they teach you TO SIT STILL :-)?? Nice job

[Jakrahal]

LOL he thinks hes a rock start!! YEA BABY!!

[ElRoedor]

Yes... and he plays Recuerdos like a rock star... Like Jimmy Page playing Bach's Bourree...
