Jesus Joy Of Man's Desiring (Arr. D. Qualey)

[CNlyrical]

Bernd, gerade erst habe ich deine Version von David Qualey's "fantasy" entdeckt. Du spielst so gefühlvoll wie David und doch zugleich auf deine ganz eigene Art und Weise. Wunderschön!

Herzliche Grüße

Crystal

[BoeckmannLudwig]

@CNlyrical

Vielen Dank, Crystal!

David's Version spiele ich sehr gerne. Ich finde deine Interpretation auch sehr gut, getragener und sehr gefühlvoll! Freut mich sehr, dass dir meine Art auch gefällt!

Liebe Grüße,

Bernd

[CNlyrical]

@BoeckmannLudwig

Danke schön, Bernd, du machst mir Mut!

Bisher war Bach mir eher fern,

Doch wenn ich David's Version spiele oder euch zuhöre

spüre ich so viel Freude in mir!

Liebe Grüße

Crystal

[the7king7of7world]

do not worry, what I wanted to say was that you play the guitar very well, and I want to play like you someday, I'm recently starting to play guitar, I get just one subject, but I play arpeggio as you do, that's hard right? good I want you to answer this, how long you take to master the guitar as you do now? thanks

[BoeckmannLudwig]

@the7king7of7world

Hi,

many thanks for writing again!

Well, it took quite a long time and much work. I started at the age of 14, that's 37 years ago and practiced many hours every day, til the fingers were bleeding. I'm selftought, learned to read tabulature and was much into ragtime, blues a la Stefan Grossman. In the 70th it was not that easy to get tabs as nowerdays - I would have been in heaven if I already would have had these possibilities at that time. KOP, have fun,

Bernd

[the7king7of7world]

no te preocupes, lo que queria decirte, era que tocas la guitarra muy bien, y que quisiera algun dia tocar como tú, yo recien estoy comenzando a tocar la guitarra, me salen apenas un tema, pero quiero tocar arpegiado como tu lo haces, eso es dificil verdad? bueno quiero que respondas a esto, ¿cuanto tiempo te tomo dominar la guitarra asi como lo haces ahora? gracias

[the7king7of7world]

este esta mas bonito, muy bonito, vamos a ver que tal me sale a mi, solo me faltan los acordes para arpegiarlo

[BoeckmannLudwig]

@the7king7of7world

Hi,

I'm so sorry, but I don't speak Spanish.

If you don't mind, write again in English!

Thank you very much for listening and commenting to my video!

Muchas gracias!

[unplugged10]

Cool, I will check out the Breedlove next time Im in the store. I read reviews about it that it has a thinner neck than regular classical guitars. It sounds very nice in the piece you did "Blue Samba". You truly know your music. Keep up the great work. It is inspiring.

[unplugged10]

Bravo - Probably one of the best pieces for this song i have come across on youtube so far. I wish you had the tabs. What is the tuning by the way? This song is making me want to learn to play accoustic. So far Iv only done electrics. Do you konw what is the difference to take into consideration when buying a normal accoustic VS. Nylon Accoustic, Do you know? Keep up the great playing.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Many thanks for your kind comment!

The tuning is dropped-D. Tune the lower E-string down to D. If you like to play acoustic guitar you should keep in mind, that the classical guitars have a wider neck and the strings are thicker. That may be unusual for electric players and need a little time of practice. But there are also some nylon string guitars on the market which are more comfortable - like my Breedlove. You have to try.

Wish you good luck!

-Bernd

[DGBuckwitz]

Absolutely beautiful! Exquisite! Thanks so much. David. Hazel Park, Michigan.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thank you so much, David!

[1wiesehoefer1]

hi bernd schöne und interessante version von d. q. wie immer von dir perfekt gespielt, habe den klassiker - auch wenn das eigentlich nicht mein ding ist - auch mal in kottkes 12 string version versucht, alles gute friedel 5 *******

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Vielen Dank, Friedel!

Ich bin eigentlich auch kein "Klassiker", deshalb gefällt mir vielleicht auch diese besondere Version von DQ. MIt 12-string hab ich bis jetzt auch noch nichts versucht - ist eine Herausforderung. Ich glaub ich würd schon ne Krise beim Stimmen bekommen.

Liebe Grüße,

Bernd

Diesen Choral habe ich im Chor gesungen. Er ist mit das schönste an Musik was es gibt. Diese Version finde ich aber auch sehr schön.

Anette

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Schön, dass dir diese Version auch gefällt. Es ist halt eine sehr eigenständige Auffassung dieses Bachschen Werkes.

Liebe Grüße,

Bernd

[alisterhrae]

Beautiful Bernd! What tuning are you using?

Is the Lakewood Rosewood or Mahogany?

So emotive, lovely playing.

Alister

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hi Alister,

the tuning of this Rosewood guitar is dropped-D. Lower E-string one full step down to D.

Thank you very much for your kind comment!

Cheers,

Bernd

Thanks Trevor!

Happy Easter and a very nice weekend,

Bernd

[fingerstalking]

I suppose since I use a thumbpick I'm not a classical purist myself. Wonderful arrangement; thanks for sharing it!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Yeah! That was the mistake. Classic guitarists won't love you for that! :-) BUT who cares - the music is all that counts!

Best wishes,

Bernd

[matzac97]

wonderful Bernd ! ;-) André

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Thanks, André! This is really a favourite melody of mine.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

That is the nices comliment you can make, my friend!

Sleep well!

[zacharron]

This is one of the pieces that got me into fingerstyle guitar, and you play it beautifully.

Zane

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hi Zane,

yes, this is such a wonderful arrangement of an all time beauty.

Many thanks for your kind words,

[2xVitamR]

Hallo Bernd, du hast recht, auch auf der Stahlsaite hört sich dieser schöne Titel sehr gut an. Aber nicht nur das Instrument, es gehören auch die 10 Finger und der Kopf dazu, und das passt bei dir auch bestens. Wie immer, super gespielt, eine Freude, es von dir zu hören.

Liebe Grüße

Michael

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Lieber Michael

ich freue mich immer über deine besonders netten Kommentare! Das schmeichelt meine Musikerseele. Vielen Dank!

Liebe Grüße,

Bernd

[2xVitamR]

Ach , es ist doch so, wenn man sieht, daß jemand Spaß an seiner Musik hat, dann kann man auf YT etwas dazu sagen, und wenn ich es nicht so meinen würde,könnte ich mir den Aufwand sparen. So kommentiere ich halt, ich habe ja auch meine Freude an deinem Spiel.

Liebe Grüße

Michael

[fridrikur]

Really hearthfelt.. Sensitive tone. Great job!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Many thanks, fridrikur!

Best wishes,

[gskarogiannis]

Great playing and sound my friend Bernd. Qualey's arragement is fantastic. Your Lakewood sounds really nice too. Silly question but may I ask what thumbpick you use? I am thinking of trying one but the ones I used don't fit nicely on my thumb. Thanks and all the best.

George

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hi George

many thanks, great you like it!

There are no silly questions - I know that problem very well!!! But there is no solution for all. I use in this video a Zookies M-10 pick. But I also use other brands like dunlop, fred kelly etc. It's a long journey to find the right one - and I'm still travelling! I sometimes modify the picks and file them, depending on sound. Martins first choise are fred kelly picks. There are several styles and sizes available.

Good luck, my friend!

-Bernd

[gskarogiannis]

Thanks for the tips Bernd

[Qpidon]

I use dunlop mediums..mainly because these are the only ones in the shop. BUT, a *new* thumbpick needs a litlle time to *setlle in* they ware of fast, so its a good idea to play arround with 3 or 4 at the same time, interchanging them....

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hi Claude,

I'm glad you like it - it's a very special version. I'm not classically trained like you - just selftaught, but I like to learn. So I always have an eye your fingers and on the other wonderful guitarists here on YT.

Thanks a lot, my friend,

Bernd

[fendermac]

Excellent Bernd.Beautiful sound and great playing.Very,very sweet.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hi Paul,

not much *blues* in this one BUT a lot of emotion - just like every blues should have. I like this melody very much and this D.Q.-version is just what fits to my non classical fingers.

Glad to hear from you - many thanks!

Greetings to London,

Bernd

(Now the spring comes ove here, 24 degrees celsius - and NO snow :-))

hi bernd super gespielt und der sound der gitarre mit etwas hall passt sehr gut zu dem lied, hört sich im positiven sinn etwas so an als würde es in einer kirche gespielt, beste grüße und 5 stars friedel

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Hallo Friedel,

schön, dass es dir gefällt. Ja, ich dachte auch, dass etwas Kirchenhall gut passen würde. Aber man ist dabei immer in Gefahr zu übertreiben.

Liebe Grüße,

[passionpicking]

Very beautifully played :-)...very nice sound, what kind of lakewood is that, an OOO or a parlor?????

Thanks for sharing

Chris

Hi Chris,

This is a very unique Lakewood - only built once by Martin Seelinger - which I bought used, I'm a lucky one! Likely a 00 Martin style or parlor.

All the best,
