  • I love how he sits so upright and motionless! He looks like he's saying "Oh yeah. That's right. I went there." But all humble like....

  • He just copies what's done and he's quick, that's it. He's usually faster than the compas. He's young and impatient and obviously he practices a lot. He's probably bored of playing the same pieces over and over, so he rushes to the end of them. That's not the spirit of music, flamenco.

  • I hear the usual buleria compas in the transitions but not in the falsetas , am i missing something ? ? Usually I don't have problems with compas counting.

  • Comment removed

  • i fckn smell on sweat

    watch?v=HkOGNdfguno

    regards, and my compliments to you on your graceful, beautiful performance.

  • @classicvinylbiz

    just because its labeled bulerias does not mean it is actually bulerias

    i don't really hear a very stable compas

  • shredded

  • well..there IS 1 tab out there which I uploaded on ultimate guitar dot com... transcribed myself by ear: look it up under Sabicas

    When I play it myself, it sounds very, very close to what grisha's doing here, the intro is off a bit, but if u can play it, you should be able to fix that yourself. I don't play the first 15 seconds the exact way I wrote it down but that's the basic pattern. Enjoy! Very nice n' fun piece to play

  • Оле! Очень крутой штрих !!! Супер!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow great job on the sabicas buleria man! Do u have a copy of the music?

    keep up the great work

  • @statsrelick i just uploaded the tab version to it on ultimate-guitar, check it out.

  • This guy is amazing, he came to my school about a month ago (Independence High School), and I gotta say he's in my opinion the best guitarist EVER.

  • Fortissimo! Grande spicticale!

  • Theshrabster, if you want to learn how to play bulerias, you first have to internalize the beat, rythems or compas. If you don't do this first, everything else you try will be futile.......It's in the compas, my friend.

  • I've been practicing to play bulerias for about 3 years, and I still can't get that shit right. This guy is a fuckin beast.

  • Brutal! 5+

  • Превосходно играешь! ..теска))

  • no-one clapped at the end....

  • maybe cause nobody was in there lol

  • please where can i finde the tabs pleazzeee

  • @aliosman88 on ultimate guitar dot com, look it up under sabicas

  • que bonito!

  • Исполнение - супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Слушаю и слушаю

  • his foot is a metronome :D

  • his foot better than my digital metronome..

  • :D:D

  • footronome =)

  • Who cares how he sit.  Shut your eyes and use yor other senses.

  • bucho

  • is it hard to assimilate flamenco rythym? Sabicas has infallible rythym, i wonder if i could have such

  • its hard, but when you do ii, its, damn funny

    try it

  • It's easier than it looks, getting used to it is a bitch, though. Just don't be put off in the beginning.

  • Вертуозная игра ! ПРОСТО СУУУПЕР !!!!!!!

  • Well, I able able to figure out the part from 1:08 to about 1:18 =P, whoooo, 10 seconds down... And i was only able to figure it out 'cuz I found a Sabicas Buleria video slowed down in which the same part/riff/notes happens to be there.

    Wish they showed the guitar much closer so we could see lol

  • you can probably get the sheet music somewhere

  • realmente un gusto oir esta interpretacion, oooole¡¡¡¡¡

  • What's the actual name of this piece? what's that "improvacion de sabicas" tab/song about? or how do u find the original audio/tab/sheet for it(name)? i think I would seriously pay some1 to find me a good sheet/tab for it...paypal...lol seriously .... is there a place where u could hear the studio/og version?

  • there are actually no tabs for most of these songs, Grisha figured them all out by ear... O.o

  • @AdventKingBand creo que las de Paco se las ensenò el mismo :O

  • OLE!!! =D

    muy bien grisha x)

  • "Bravo Grisha" You are the closest thing to Sabicas and Paco de Lucia I have seen and heard

  • What?? It seems you dont hear any flamenco, there are millions of guitarist who sound like Sabicas, Niño Ricardo, Montoya and Paco, please listen to the youn Javier Conde, he really sounds like sabicas, and he has the flamenco soniquete and compas

  • There aren't millions. Probably hundreds. And of those Grisha is probably the best. That's out of what, 6 billion people on the planet? Admittedly, most people aren't "trying", but the point is, it not commonplace by any means, even in Spain.

  • @nungthstra Have you heard Vicente Amigo?

  • @nungthstra Then you're not watching a lot. I live in Spain and kids today are studying Sabicas and Paco from early on. Granted not many play as well but there's a quite a bit. Check out 16 or 17 yr. old Javier Conde playing "aires del Puerto real" a Solea by Sabicas. On you tube. He's just one good example and doesn't play with the coldness of this guy. No offense to him, he's good, but not in the league that you've put him in. flamenco has to flow with soul, NOT just technique.

  • @JoshSwartzberg I prefer Grisha to Javier

  • Buleria is very darkness...kkk

  • Great

  • The most insane thing is not his speed, coordination or perfection, but the ease that he's playing it with.

  • insane, perfect performance, who is this guy?

  • Grisha Goryachev, ST PETERSBURG RUSSIA

  • Genial Grisha, que ejecución más bella y limpia

  • Spanish only understand spanish...dont you all get it..... Its amazing to see such brilliance from such a place in the world!!!

  • This is the closest to Sabicas I have ever heard anyone come to.

  • agreed....

  • Исполнение отличное! Четкость артикуляции выше всяких похвал!

  • sabicas? que joven te veo :)

  • genius!!!

  • maestro!!

  • i didnt sleep since 48 hours, but THIS piece of music woke me up and gave me the power to stay awake for another 24 horus...

    i just like the way ur playing it

    no sorry i dont like the way u are playing it, i am loving it!

  • Beautiful, you are realy realy very good.

    Thanks

  • do you happen to know the name of this piece?

  • This piece is named "improvisacion de Sabicas" in a "Serenata andaluza" named record (Montilla)

  • Awesome! Check out his concert next week LIVE in Los Angeles at Barnsdall Gallery in Hollywood. June 20.

  • And its justified - he is so good its scary!

  • Wow - he has got supreme confidence in his ability on the instrument.

  • Man...Grisha is really Good...very well practices...really precise phrasing...great feel....Most excellent

  • perfecto y preciso

  • magnificent! hair-raising!

  • el pibe es una maquina y punto, toca maravillosamente!

  • I bet He can plays Asturias juz like piece of cake.... :D

  • Yes, he can. Asturias is not too difficult of a piece for a well trained classical guitarist. I like the piece and I have played it in concerts.

  • Es todo un deleite escuchar esta música instrumental. Me hace acordar a España en todo momento.

  • pah Guzba frepibabo shmeidlup luup ak ak glinat dapash.

  • he came to my highschool and played a couple songs for our guitar program...we have had a few guest guitarists come earlier this year that were pretty good, but this guy melted our faces off...how the hell did our guitar teachers get this guy to come perform for a small highschool

  • Unbelievable technique and quality of sound!!!

  • the internet does not have a single based language thats like me tellin u to speak a language u cant no matter how much u say it or insult someone to do it, it just may not be possible so i will say in a nice manner, stfu

  • Hay que reconocer que el ruso este cabron lo hace muy bien,y eso que por ser ruso se le mira con lupa. Va de puta madre de compas suena muy bien y si te lo ponen en el coche piensas que es Sabicas. Quizas sea ese su mayor defecto es un clon. ES LA GUERRA DE LOS CLONES :-)

  • Estoy de acuerdo contigo aunque a mi no me gusta el flamenco porque es Arabe, pero la guitarra del ruso suena poderosa, la cago. En cual mercado negro de Rusia la habra comprado? Dobre dobre!!

  • Excelente, aunque esta muy rigido en su postura, como si estuviese un poco tenso, no piensan lo mismo?

  • Debe estar muy concentrado y la verdad su postura no me importa cuando alguien toca asi de excelente y pienso que si se le nota la pasion (el duende) al tocar.

  • Hot stuff.

  • How could anyone NOT give this five stars? As far as his technique goes, he's one the best players I've ever seen.

  • He plays GREAT!!!

  • I met Grisha aoubt 3 years ago and he played for me in SF. His technique is quite amazing. Frankly I never heard anyone play as fast as he does, whether on an electric or acoustic guitar. I admired most, though, the slow music he performed... much feeling.

  • es loco ese tio!

    olè!

  • makes estiban look like a little girl  lol

  • You are right blackdragon7767.

  • es sorprendente lo bien q se entiende el flameco fuera de españa...y lo q cuesta dentro d españa mentalizar a la gente q el flamenco es una cultura...y solo lo ven asi en andalucia

  • Amigo, no estoy de acuerdo contigo. En toda España el Flameco está más vivo que nunca. Yo soy catalán, como Duquende, Poveda, Chicuelo... En toda España se flamenquea! Sé optimista. Un saludo

  • joer claro q hay casos aislados....yo soy de madrid y el flamenco es mi pasion....pro es aora cuando el flamenco en verda se esta expaniendo ...antes estaba marjinado..y hay si q no puedes decir ya nada

  • jewish from russia? you should pull your head out of your arse sweetty and try to think again

  • I see more comments about his nationality than his music (that is in fact truly amazing). Come on stop misleading.

  • Actually he is not even Russian he is Jewish from Russia

  • ... (some retards still dont understand the message)...

  • since when is being Jewish a nationality?

  • olum harikasin lannn, oleeee

  • maybe his face does not reflect any Mediterrenean expressions that we got used to see from flamenco performers, but he is simply: gifted, plays: very clean.

  • This video is actually really cool because there's some expression here, not just ultra-fast picados.

    Good job on this one. :)

  • thats right!

    us russians kick ass=]

  • awesome!!!!

  • i mean sound is very clean.

  • HIs notes are so clean !!!

  • He's great !

  • OLEEEE !!!!

  • What can I say the best

  • Percect Grisha! excuse me for my curiosity,but have you played this songs sence you was a kid, i mean 10-12. And do you play any other instruments? would be fun to know:)then again Perfect

  • I just ordered your CDs through Amazon. I can't wait to to listen to them!

  • could you please rip it and share it? :D

  • Nah, I would rather support the artist. Wouldn't you? Thanks for asking though.

  • btw, which cd did you buy? i can only find one of them on amazon and i believe he recently released a new album that has only sabicas work, and unfortunatelly, those albums are sold only in the US :/

  • I bought both, Alma Flamenca & Homenaje a Sabicas (both are awesome CDs). You can get it through his record label's website as well: VGoRecordings. May be they can airmail it to you. Good luck.

  • well, i think you need to get some people around performing some palmas and shouting "Ole". that might help :>

    no seriously, i'm looking forward to seeing more of a live performance if you've got any of those videos. even if the quality of recording isn't as good as this one, we might see different way of performing.

    cheers (and well done!)

  • Last words- it is thanks to people like Paco Pena, Sabicas and Paco de Lucia that Flamenco music has reached a very wide audience. But, their very notariety has also detracted attention which ought to have been given to a number of other Flamenco guitarists along the way. In light of this, to see this kid called brilliant rubs me wrong.

  • I think you need to get out more. :)

  • Agreed.

  • Why does it rub you wrong?. Do you know anybody that plays so well? With the exception of Paco de Lucia no other guitarist that I know (and I know several of the worldwide famous guitarists in person) can play those fast scales as cleanly. In addition his playing is beautiful and he keeps learning! This kid is fantastic!

  • MENCADO, this kid is very good, yes, he is Russian, but does it really matter where he is from? The great ones from Spain paved the way for everyone else in the world, no one can ever take that from them.

  • Perfect, magnificent, incredible, stupendous! ! ! !

  • Unreal playing....this guy is untouchable. Listen from :59 to 1:04. How the hell does he do that??????

  • OMG i need a TAB of this song!!

  • respect indeed kaneda

  • respect

  • awsome

  • Wake-up. Open your ears and admire his talent. There is nobody (or maybe one or two) with the control this guy has over the guitar. I made a living as a concert guitarist and I am familiar with most of the famous guitarists in the Classical, Flamenco and South American circles. Each of them has a lot to offer but nobody can do what Grisha does playing the most difficult stuff with amazing precision, clarity and yes, musicianship. And yes, Paco made good comments about Grisha's playing.

  • Outstanding!

  • this guy is better than any guitarist that i know he is so passionate makes my all little hairs thorny :D emotionally grabs me better than others!!

  • GREAT PERFORMANCE!Grisha is a fantastic guitarplayer

  • great!!

  • neolardo: "And was recognized a few years ago by Paco de Lucia himself to be Oone of the best flamenco guitarist there is." What? How did you come up with this? Paco saying this? Are you insane? I have nothing against Grisha, he has a marvellous technique (although he plays flamenco with a classical guitar tone which is quite bad and there is another problem regarding feeling) and he has time to become really really good. But Paco saying this...

  • And if by any chance he actually said it (which I seriously doubt), than it means that Paco didn't want to be a jerk and insult or make him feel bad. Although, I don't know why, but if Paco would tell me that I have a lot to learn, I would be somewhat proud. And one last thing: don't compare him with Paco, Nunez, Sabicas, Serranito and so on. Non of these think or thought in terms of hierarchies. Grisha, don't mind us who argue about your playing and keep up the good work.

  • pefect siposibo balşoyyy

  • He is superb,no matter his flaws.I think he needs to compose his own music that has meaning for him.

  • He's good. Almost flawless and probably a born genius. But, I love Paco's playing far more, because he plays with the spirit of flamenco moreso than this fellow.

  • He's russian -THAT explains a lot! He's Great!

  • It's your opinion but you must don't know what you're saying

    His serious expressions is demonstrations of passion

    if you close your eyes you can say that is Sabicas playing!

  • lıttle paco

  • Yup! He's a really good guitar player.

  • this is what flamenco sounds like when played by a classical guitarist. He is good but it aint't really flamenco. Watch this video back to back with the video of Sabicas doing Bulerias and you will see what I mean.

  • are you insane ? Grisha Goryachev isnt a classical guitarist he started flamenco guitar at age 9. And was recognized a few years ago by Paco de Lucia himself to be one of the best flamenco guitarist there is. This is some wonderfully well played flamenco.

  • Well, I will take your word for it that he started flamenco at 9. Certainly he has fine technique. But somehow the music is not there. He looks and plays as though he were bored and just going through the motions. This video feels like a recital at a music conservatory. Proficient but boring. Sorry.

  • Dude! He's not a classical guitar player! Like Neolardo said, he's a flamenco guitar player! One of the best today.

  • Dude yourself castrangela.  Sure he is a good guitar player. That is, however, what we call damning with faint praise. All the technique is there, for sure. That is why he reminds me of the academy rather than the gypsy campfire. He is like Putin -- competent but cold and heartless.

  • castrangela and Estadum - I am having a similar conversation with someone else regarding another of Grisha's videos. I agree with Estadum here. The music that Grisha plays is definately Flamenco, but the style in which he plays it is just as definately classical.

  • I don't know who you are conversing with, but this is a case of perfect technique devoid of soul. It belongs to the music conservatory not to the hot fire of flamenco. I wish it were otherwise. I have nothing against this fellow. He has learned the licks, for sure. But....

  • ok then, can you explain your statement in more detail, by posting a video of yourself playing with "soul"? critic is someone who thinks he knows the way, but can't drive the car. critics - you know who you are !! :)

  • So you think that only musicians can appreciate music??????

  • no, I wasn't saying that at all. Read me carefully - I am saying You can't appreciate music :). cheers

  • Call me back when you have really listened to some Flamenco. Trust me, once you hear the difference you will hum a different tune. If you still think I'm wrong, I invite you to look through my various playlists, especially listen to the guitar work on the A+ Flamenco Favorites.

  • I already have - incredible artists playing fantastic music! but you still haven't defined playing with "soul" to me :)

  • Estadum - I suspect that some of our (anti-)critics do not yet know the difference between what is soul-felt and what just sounds exciting. They must first have had the actual experience of being truly moved - and have gone through all of the involuntary physical/ spiritual/ emotional reactions that along go with that- to know what it truly it feels like. A few goose-bumps, a tear or two -that is just the tip of the iceberg folks! Flamenco is first and foremost about personal human experience.

  • i listen to death metal music mostly and play guitar in tht same style. but spanish i wud kill to be able to do like u do.... absolutely amazing!

  • he's russian...

  • i mean sum of the spanish flamenco he dus

    cunt

  • i have never seen a man playing like that except Paco

  • Another beautiful piece from Grisha, you are a master of Flamenco, you should open a school to teach guitar. I wish you good luck with your PhD studies.

  • Thanks a lot! I need all the luck I can get...

  • Un Ruso tocando musica Española?
