Congrats best version of Edgars arrangement on utube by far.Any ideas about doing a lessons series im sure ud get loads of hits.Thanks 4 posting this proves its possible 2 play like Edgar.
Man...I am speechless...you played an entire damn smphony there without even trying!!! That was amazing man!!! Great song....never knew someone can play that like you just did....now that was Talent!!! You should record a better video of this song!!!
ME MYSELF AND IRENE...............................that was really good, I am crap and want to learn but cant seem to do it yet but time time time, good work..
so you thought you could stone and spit in my eyes! so you thought u could love me and leave me to die! that honestly was the best i've heard anyone play the classical guitar...
pretty good man but i get annoyed when ppl say like "ohh ive been playing this for a day" or "oh i havent played this years my first time" yea rite this probly like ur 15th take im not hating, its fuckin good guitar man keep ripping strings man
So, why do you prescribe I would write such a thing? I'm not hating, I'm just wondering why you would make such a claim.
I have VHS of me performing this song much better on stage, just before the 9/11 attacks. You would figure, after about eight years of playing the song, I would've perfected the tune -- UNLESS I don't play the song often afterall.
I have a large song library and I get bored playing the same songs, like this, time after time.
Well, 9/11 was a significant marker in our history, much like the Civil War. A lot of our history is categorically separated by that timeframe, much like 9/11 will be.
The reason my mentioning was relevant is because at one point, I was a professional guitarist. After 9/11, I put away the guitar and joined the service, which impacted my life as a guitarist.
Lastly, how do you know I didn't lose anyone in the attacks? Do you believe censoring what happened will change the outcome?
I never used chat, or ever replied to any one or any thing before in regards to the internet (except returning emails). I've played guitar most of my adult life, and at 47 yrs. old, I am trying my hardest to play fingerstyle guitar. It brings peace to the noises inside of my head. I can play this song ok, but not as good as you. I guess I am below you on this song about like you are to 'enunc8r's version. (please no offense)Thanks to Edgar for providing us such aggravation!@aimforcentermass
how long have you been playing? i wanna learn classical guitar so bad. i can play acoustic but just simple chorded songs, wonder if i can still learn at the age of 22 lol no hope for me..... really nice btw! keep it up
I have a classic guitar (from Spain) but I don't have to much time for learning how to play it... but things like these make me think about let other things away... and get my guitar! x)
Haha... You know, you could've just hid the fact that it was your cell ringtone cuz I thought it was a pet bird or something... But I guess you don't really think such things during a performance...
If you read the description you can see that Edgar Cruz was the one who arranged the piece. The music is obviously available for piano and guitar, but it just needed to be combined for solo guitar.
You should send this to Brian May. I bet he would be bowled over. I know I was.. i can only imagine if I was the creator of this work and someone sent me a video like this...bravo!
Incredible guitar playing! ...on all your songs! By the amount of views of this video, it appears that everyone can see that too. I really wish I could play like that. I'm very proud of you, Jake.
I too would by the CD...several copies in fact because I know so many people would enjoy it. "Sweet Caroline" is one of my mom's favorite! You do a wonderful job.
was not what i was implying....just was debating if a classical guitarist could easily transition into electric guitar (with plectrum) for my own interest....i think the answer is yes, but you'll be better if you pick one instrument and style and focus on that primarily...i used to debate mastering both classical and electric for progressive music, but that's a lot of work, and i believe impossible, you would be fair at both....so i started asking people who played classical.
Aha, well I've heard of a lot of electric guitarists who have transitioned from electric to classical, dunno about the other way round though (you're probably right)
btw, what do you think? Should a good producer have one main instrument (and style), or many bi-instruments (styles)?
awsome work dude, keep building strenght in your fingers to help you clean and apply your notes on the frett board, I know some cords require more then skill, hand position is paramont with playing classics. I give my students finger patterns to build on that helps strenght and strectch.
Cool mate!! you dont really well.dont every stop playing. all the best!
KungFuKing1916 "wow you suck" ??? well you play it in one take and make a vid as great as that one then ? he was great just need to work some more on that tune, he played it great however.
nice job i think, now go over to something more difficult like bcah etc.. you'll have a blast :)
I thought it was apart of the song, Your ringtone.
