Bach Double on the Classical Guitar

[RevdRichard]

Bravo. The music moved my heart. Lovely.

[Oksebuterat]

BWV 997 - so at least 997 likes

[dpshtintolrnt1]

Is the reason that so many classical guitar pieces are played many different ways, and up for interpretation let's say, because it was not used so much or accepted in early classical pieces as they were written, as opposed to piano pieces, which was very much an accepted orchestral instrument? It doesn't seem like the guitar get's taken seriously as an instrument until the 20th century, and ofcourse Bach, Mozart, and others in the genre made music in the 18th century.

[guitarwizard6]

That Eric Sahlin guitar sounds wonderful. Your playing is great, too! :-)

[katiacharny]

Perfection

[TCharlieA]

So did you record the audio and the video separately? The sound quality seems way too good to be a life performance.

[mknalabntoglu]

[DoubleMannings]

[SandmanLiquid]

[gnomo523]

[Nickzed]

how in the FUCK could there be 12 dislikes on this video?

[TheRedDevilMan]

@Nickzed I can only think people didnt like the editing or his shirt. Everything else is golden

[BenjaTooooost]

@Nickzed I'm guessing the 12 dislikes are from those who are completely overwhelmed with jealousy...

[apocalipsis1115]

Bogotá ?? :D

[nazoguitar]

@apocalipsis1115 ¡Si!

So good.



[jaimesandoval1988]

[topherstubin]

Awesome. Top job.

[zagortriplex100]

[anlizlu]

beautiful interpretation in a beautiful city : Bogotá!!!!!

[KarloPero]

Fantastic!

[bheeter7]

Wasn't paying attention to the status bar and was disappointed that he stopped playing.

[Tuurke01]

Bach rocks... even acoustic! Well done!

[ronibee18]

hey there,

i was wondering if you will let me use this performance, for my final gradutaion film project? i really love this specific performance, i'v been listening to it for a year now, and i am actually learning some bach on the guitar myself. :)

i will appreciate it allot.

thanks

Roni.

[SandmanLiquid]

Thanks for sharing this video!

I am in love with this interpretation and started playing this peace myself after watching. Bach would be proud :)

[VicMrFox]

I have a new guitar hero. Let's see, that's......

....way too many.

Remarkable playing (nice instrument too!).

[codonauta]

12 people haven´t liked this recording , it´s incredible. Probably, people which don´t Bach played at guitar.

[puredoubt]

a shorter version, but really good. i so need a foot stool.

[jojosly]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[Hermeterec]

from Jose......Gonzalo is one bad maharahjah!

[ukrvalik93]

perfect

[kjvonly01]

Wow, what a totally awesome performance of a very difficult piece.

[AlphaDeCefeo]

wonderful... the best version I've heard of this piece of art.

[yumeybaconcutout]

2:09 fatass walking in the background

[yumeybaconcutout]

better than john williams' version :) you play it with a passion

[delameu]

This is a great piece, the suite is great as a whole too but i tend to enjoy more the different movements played solo just like this

[Z3r0mt]

Awesome work, just one question- why did you play it up a whole step?

[SaschaAshley]

strong work, dude.

[trimar42]

ave

sympa

mais ca me semble un peu trop fabriqué  et mis en scene ,

et en onde

dommage

[koolman72389]

absolutely magnificent

[eagxel]

Come on, this piece is beautiful by itself with no need of rock, blues or any other style, which are also great, each one in its own domain. Also the interpretation is great, one of the best I have seen, and the video was very well suited. Congratulations mr. bananasita.

[xBlackSeedxghost]

I just switched from playing hardcore/metal to playing classical music.

I much prefer playing classical although I still listen to both metal and hardcore rock.

Someday I'll be able to play a piece as masterful as this. someday.

[Sevengun101]

Where can I sell my soul for something like that ? :D

[gtyj3]

@Sevengun101 ask Robert Johson..think he know's the place.

[cerasurfer]

there is no such genre as "commercial" all REAL muso's know that

[jacobcs]

i will never in my life get sick of this amazing peice. i really hope to learn to perform this at some point in my career.

[kc8ntp]

@DaNorthernLight No doubt! I play a lot of rock, blues, heavy metal, and jazz. However, I love classical music. I piss off a lot of bands that I have been in, as I will play some Bach on my 6 and 7-string basses. I was a classical cellist for many years, which I found my niche in playing extended range basses.

[kc8ntp]

@SorSatoshi With Bach, you have to focus on the rests and tempo changes. Like it was explained to me: the silence of Bach is just as important as the sound; this is what makes Bach so expressive!

[bobmnob]

does any one know where some tabs are for this shit?

[sokercap]

@bobmnob classtab.org has this and many other great pieces

[Gbeaklini]

Pretty nice video! Very good guitar playing. I loved meeting you today! Bravo!

Gustavo Beaklini

[Bean6Kid]

I hate this guy. :)

[mexico662]

Amazing expression :D

[mexico662]

this really doesnt have tabs... its all sheet music.. its called Gigue and Double BWV997.

[hppaviliona1700la]

bogotá lo mejoooooooor!!!!!!! que hermosura de lugar para tocar esa música.

[NochedeTzinacan]

This video was recorded at Bogotá streets, Barrio La Candelaria,

[MonkeyFurball]

Is this guy in Italy? The streets look like he is near Florance or something.

[mexico662]

@MonkeyFurball no its in bogotá

[MonkeyFurball]

@mexico662 Oh, ok, thanks!

[DoctrinaBytes]

@1:37 this piece began to give me pleasant chills

[laststanding518]

bananasita--I will forever adore this. Keep playing! I'd owe you so much sentiment and wonder. 5 stars

[BlackSanotaru]

Colombia?

[KellerDude4]

It won't go past 2:20 for me. Damn. Right at the good part.

[maddkat420]

i wonder how this guy is at sweep picking..

[PeaceSells102]

I'm starting to really like classical music :D

[Sastozaz]

Wow muy bien! Colombia? cool!

[Diversityman]

good job... remind me of Segovia...

[DannyBurgoyne]

I like how the case moves all over the place! xD I think he stitched together video from several outdoor performances and used studio-recorded audio (you can't get sound like that outside)... But who cares, this is the most beautiful interpretation of this piece I have heard so far, even with YouTube's crappy 32-64kbps audio. Amazing stuff.

[x33TeddyBear]

My guitar teacher is now teaching me that song n Damn that so hard ! D:

my fingers are hurt so much :\

This is Amezing how you play it :) great job sir ! :D

[XianXiuHong]

@x33TeddyBear Your fingers shouldn't be hurting if you're ready to learn Bach.

[santamara]

This is so very beautiful! Wow!

Thank you and to StuartStreet for sharing!

[millerbeezie]

WOWZA

[zeppelin2507]

good video

[metalbloodshed]

The scenery where this guy is from is almost as beautiful as the music.

[Albaloo292]

Gorgeous music in a gorgeous setting. Where is this?

[santafe223]

@Albaloo292 It's called "La Candelaria" in Bogota, Colombia

[Medevil9908]

@BenjaTooooost It's not that I'm offended or that my brain can't handle it, it's just that it isn't one of my favorite genres of music. I'm glad that there were good composers who took the time to make good pieces of music that would eventually inspire others to make music. I do like some classical songs like Bouree in E minor from Johannes Sebastian Bach and I also haven't heard anything from Beethoven that I don't like. Thanks for assuming, by the way.

[idkwhourandidc]

@Medevil9908 Look up some Gustav Holst. Check out his "Second Suite in Eb", and "First Suite in F". Also, as everyone knows, "The Planets" is one of his best works.

[pokemaughan]

I think his fingers start smoking at 1:40

[livingstranger]

I love how retarded people get when they post on YouTube... this world is going to hell. Beautiful guitar playing by the way, takes me away from it all even for a short moment.

[Medevil9908]

Classical isn't one of my favorite genres but thankfully it paved the way for everything else (excluding all of the terrible stuff).

[BenjaTooooost]

@Medevil9908

Maybe your just offended at how much classical outdoes everything else... Your brain can't handle it, thats why you don't like it...

[zomgzomglawlawlawl]

@BenjaTooooost wow you're a dick. piss off

[BenjaTooooost]

@zomgzomglawlawlawl

Hmm... I wasn't even talking to you. What are you even doing looking at this video? you don't deserve to watch it.

[rayfx8]

Fantasik, BRAVO

[kitstr]

Beautiful performance, beautiful performer, beautifully filmed and presented

[chanmix51]

Can't stop listening to this great interpretation

[guitarfan1979]

[jllobet]

Brillante interpretación! la plaza de Bolivar, un video excelente y una ejecución magnífica.

[PhantomPiney]

Very nice...I sure hope to be able to play like that one day. Great playing!!!

[mimbster1972]

Great performance on my of my favorite pieces. The melody is fantastic.

[natasegundo]

Hola Andres: brillante interpretacion; sin duda Bach es la "prueba de fuego" para quien desee llamarse guitarrista virtuoso. Congratulaciones! (Una pregunta: era tu abuelo Victor Molano V?/Es una curiosidad, ya que se que en tal familia existen virtuosos de la guitarra)

[Utubesuxmycock]

so

fucking

epic!

[paultreselli]

Brilliant. I've always found the 2nd lute suite to be the most introspective and difficult. This man's execution is perfect all the voices are so clear..

world class!

[parchettt]

clasic guitar dude wtf were are you leaving? in the bacement

[Elmoh911]

Classic, Living, Basement.

Dude... you live in a basement.

[FuckingIdiotOnCP]

hey dumb ass rock blues country jazz and all that shit stems from classical guitar so if you learn classical every thing else is easy

[bruno280678]

amen

[Jazzboob]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP Sorry.. but this is simply not true Molano could never play like Wes, nore the other way around

[emphaticleech]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP That's really not true at all. Classical was not the first form of music, and the blues were formed from African tribes in Western and Northern Africa's spiritual singing and drum. Jazz is more secular. Rock n' roll, country...even some jazz is from the Blues which is NOT from classical.

[Esosphere]

@emphaticleech

Not correct, your interpretation. Polyphonic music is European Classic, every other music on the world is essential monophonic, only doubling octaves and sometimes fifths are used. Blues would not exist without European classic, for example.

[emphaticleech]

@Esosphere How is that? Western Africa hadn't seen the likes of Europeans for a LONG time after they started making music. I'm fairly certain other than South Africa and parts of Egypt and around...there were no outside influence on the tribes in Western Africa. Hell, Western Africa..around Ghana especially..wasn't even treaded on by anyone but the Portugese until the 1500s (and he Portugese overtook parts of it in the 15th century). And the spiritual music, which became the blues, was long

[emphaticleech]

@Esosphere long long before. The music they used, which evolved into stuff like Blues, Afrobeat, etc begun around the 7th or 8th century in Ghana.

[monkeyfist108]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP i agree , lol , it would take a little more time but so much worth the effort. :)

[shookon3zz]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP blues from classical guitar ? yeah right .... I hate the way people talk about things they don't know.

[Novantii]

@shookon3zz

Blues is an extremely simple (perhaps the most simple) genre of music out there. On the other hand, classical is so vast that it contains everything in blues and every other genre. One piece may leap through every extant genre just via diversity of scales and modes. Blues is 1 box.

Blues derived more from folk music than it did from classical guitar, but folk in turn was a lot of simplified/bastardized classical technique just like the steel string is a bastardized nylon.

[kc8ntp]

@Novantii I do agree with, to a point. However, the way I play blues, I use what is called "pitch axis theory". For example, I love using E minor hexatonic; I add a flatted 5th. Then, I roll into D Mixolydian. With certain songs, I may also play an A major 7th dominant chord like a scale. So, I am one that thinks outside the "box", so to speak. However, if it weren't for my training in classical guitar, piano, and cello, then I would not have this knowledge.

[kc8ntp]

@Novantii There have only been a few blues artist that used "Pitch Axis Theory": Steve Ray Vaughn was one that used it quite a bit, as was Hendrix. However, this is few, far, and in-between. The one genre that peak my interest from an early age was heavy metal, since it was a natural transition from classical. The relationship between heavy metal and classical is not even realized by a lot of people. Many of Metallica's early songs are more technically challenging than many classical pieces!

[Criticalmis]

@kc8ntp I'm glad someone posted it. My two favourite genres are classical and metal. Only people with musical backgrounds ever pick up on that one.

[shookon3zz]

@Novantii come on ... its like saying classic is really simple , I can play la bourree on my guitar ... then you would say well classic is not only about la bourree ... it's exactly the same thing for the blues . there is commercial blues like steve ray vaughn , bb king ,etc and on the other hand there is old blues from tghe 20' if I can give you an exemple go check this out v=RESmBxOrehAv=RESmBxOrehA ... blues is not only about doing your scale like commercial blues show you

[Novantii]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP

I agree. I learned guitar initially the way most people do - blues rock scales and whatnot. The entire time I was thinking "This is it? Why bother? a chimp could do this."

Classical guitar is another world, you actually feel like you know the guitar.

[JOETESTA]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP yesssss is truee

[Rexicano]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP

How absurd;

Yeah, so if you play a Bach and other Classical works you can "easily" slide into some Hendrix or instantly be able to play Jazz.

Your screen name describes you perfectly.

[Chartier111290]

@FuckingIdiotOnCP i would say that if i was you, I understand your point of saying it stems from classical and i agree with it. BUT it is not because you play classical that everything else is easy. I my self play classical ALOT and I can tell you that YES it makes the other songs MUCH easier. BUT their are still some song's that are VERY technical even tough it is not classical music. Look into technical death metal/ technical jazz. Those a 3different thing's. And all 3 can be a real challenge!

[apeloki]

beautifully played!

[nhsham28]

what is his instrument name?

[Ellezsz]

guitar

[tayopancake]

does anyone know where I can get this audio? this guy is wonderfull such talent.

[jaafarj]

use "downloadhelper" an addon for firefox download the file and use a jetaudio to convert the file into mp3 :)

[Model1898]

Fantastic. Thank you Bananasita

Saludos!

[blankpianist]

wow I'm not even remotely a classical guitarist or a guitarist at all but those strings look to be tuned very low and seem very loose.

[Batman001]

I love the speed up at 1:34

Pure beauty

Wonderful sounding. But where's the microphone?

In the studio where this was recorded.

Can you say :finger sync"

Still great.

brilliant playing like that, and i never saw a coin drop into his case. i don't think i'll make a living out of busking.

[luckkitten7]

great music and delightful playing

[LocoPCtheoneandonly]

Flawlwss interpretation... amazing natural setting

LOVE IT!!!!!! I am a subscriber

[melfice545]

thats a nice tone he has

[ThisReallyIsNotDavid]

God, it sounds amazing.

I generally play heavy metal on an electric guitar, but I've been thinking about picking up classical. :]

[deanneugebauer]

I've been playing metal for 6 years and started playing classical a few months ago. Now I rarely play electric guitar.

[LarxeneSP]

same here

[RDM213]

I played in a couple metal bands for 17 yrs. Been playing classical now for about 5 yrs. I learned on my own for a while, then finally got a good classical guitar teacher 5 months ago. If you can afford it, get a teacher

[macmanue]

You should! It's a completely different world to electric and shredding...So many nuances involved.

Find a good classical teacher to get the most out of it!

Good luck!

[BUS0906]

[masterfurbix]

I couldn't agree more; I just bought a book full of Bach's classics and I must say I'm struggling almost as much as I do with Tarrega

[alanrp1955]

Beautifully played. But how was it recorded without any street noise. I don't see a microphone anywhere. Was he miming to a recording that he made in a studio or did he overdub it afterwards

[paranoiuhh]

He's so good at guitar that it silences every other sound

[hipposarehxc]

I lol'd

[krysruleshooray]

beautifully played. very much admired.
