Asturias(Leyenda) - Isaac Albeniz

[Simplymusicable]

@Alpacoify the song suggests p i p m p i pm picking which makes the right look much slower then what you hear.

[estebansaxx1]

you´ve got a great sound and expression man, congratulations and greetings from a Sax player

[CT2507]

nice try.. but this is a difficult piece and lots more training is required. the second half is a mess.

[alpacoify]

sorry but whos in the background playing the riffs you werent?

[CT2507]

@alpacoify haha... u dont know how to play do u.:)

[alpacoify]

@CT2507 I play. but sorry I watched his right hand and if you listen there is a very fast open string being picked and his fingers dont match the speed.if he is doing it and im wrong.im sorry and i take my hat off but it looks to slow from watching his right hand.Ive seen a few people play this song and the open string is much slower than this version.

[CT2507]

@alpacoify its simply because the sound is out of sync with the speed of his fingers. this piece can look surprisingly slow compared to how many notes u hear. watch John Williams play it. he makes it look slow too.

[XRasenX]

@alpacoify "riffs" Hahaha

You are an idiot

[alpacoify]

@XRasenX God bless you to,I wasnt on here calling names to the guy I simply hear a much faster open string (riff) in the background much faster than his right hand appears to be picking.you must be a friend of the guy or you have insecurity issues?

[mcfp95]

viva isaac albeniz

[4everTenacious]

now i have to look for mikkespo1 -_-

[AndivonPulso]

Geile Leistung, perfekt !!!!

[D3maine]

Awesome. And finally someone using the same fingering as me. I thought I was doing it wrong.

[Happikatchum]

Terrific

[gatocabrito]

Very well played....

[Scarlov87]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you are my star bro WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! :D that is a wonderful song

[Stopschildfrau]

/watch?v=7LxTHqLVHHg check this guy out, he is music- teacher and he is doing an awesome job ;)

[GreekGuitaristKanel]

you are playing amazing , but why are you wearing these clothes? you look like a burglar with them

[aracabosanantonio]

....X

[tonykula]

god im pissed with myself been playing 20 yrs of chords and have always been terrified of classical music standards i wish id tried so much earlier listening to this makes my heart pound and my fingers dance. awesome playing big league

[Guitar93Master]

You're a great example for me, demonstrating it's possible to be exellent at electric and classic guitar, thanks!!!

[anotherdeadhead]

as usual, this guy nails it. i like some of the little flourishes you added, particularly on the ascending bass runs. i don't know who this guy is, but he's really really good. but please get some new recording equipment, the sound does not do your talent and hard work justice. 

[KeltoiThomi]

wow so beautiful.

[Yami229]

very nie job, i'm halfway done learning it. i'll post vid as soon as i'm done.

[igotsmoshedify]

every time he strums all 6 strings, a lighnign bolt will hit something in another country

[TREMUSKA]

good work

[sayhello2pedro]

Beautifully played, it's by far the best one (after John Williams version).

[MrWurmo]

nice! bravo

(also check my version)

[halton88]

Przecież to nie ten dzbanek gra... Chyba, że w jego salonie rozchodzi się echo odpowiadające jebitnej hali! Wiecie co.... mikrofony, efekty reverb itd. ale ten gosciu jakos mi nie pasuje do tej muzyki nawet jak palce się synchronizują. Albo poprostu jest tak zajebisty, że tego nie widzę,

[GuitareMagique]

Vraiment magnifique !

[Rashidification]

Rick Super. Tell me but as the name of your guitar in the video is? I really liked her sound.

[LaMinorTonu]

Absolutely magnificent!

[asaphjeffrey]

@mikkespo1 im 12 i can play this piece and this guy does a bloody good job so just listen and stop posting crappy comments cuz your jealous!

[SavannahVE]

your art is fucking motivating me

this is more than beautiful..

[rodrigocasg]

que cuerdas usas?

[mariellicchia]

Bravo!!

[mynamespitt]

absolutely real... or the best fake ever....no.... no question... real

[oldstuffhaus]

Unless the heat went out and the house is cold, we take a "BEANIE" off in the house. I know that "old school" thinking does not register well with many of the cool dudes these days. He plays very well and I'm sure he has spent countless hours perfecting his craft. But, he dresses like the poster child for coffee house player of the year. But what does a grumpy old man know anyhow.

[TheLydia666]

bravoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hasnachos]

u have to at least try the guitar out a little before u steal it. XD ;)

[grimtango5280]

Absolutely not a fake. Just an extremely accurate cover of the original. This guy is very good. I've actually picked up a few pointers after seeing his video. Good job guy.

[amazingwave]

Great playing!

[mikkespo1]

To All the Crybabies, writing me: I didn't even know you wrote me, months ago, to complain about my comment, because I ignore Youtube responses on email. My time's too valuable. At first, I thought he was faking, because the video and sound are so badly timed. It's his fault, for not making a proper video. And what's with the "gangsta" hat! What is he, Classical guitarist, or "gangsta"? Can't be both.

All that said, Starling, you're very good. And you didn't CRY, like Youtube losers, Haha!

[tastefulphrasing]

@mikkespo1 Its called a beanie dumb ass

[WonderWeiss324]

@mikkespo1 Honestly, sounds like youre really jealous. No one likes pretentious morons.

[peterdeman51]

I've heard it necessary, but this is absolute perfection. Regards Peter de Man

[Geddz0]

were is love bottom ???



[nemsibarum]

Great! Thank you, Meastro!

[stratcat70]

damn bra! even john williams would be proud of you ...u are ..a guitar god!! totally awesome,,,THANKS FOR DEVASTATING ME!!,,,,, im soohhh inspired now!!

[imo58]

nice hat! but nicer performance...

[Aurelius27x]

It's a little fast, but technically okay. You play it a little bit like an exercise, theres a lot more color to fit in, but to each their own. It's a beast of a piece to play all the way through.

[SisisVoice]

I'd just like to say, it's a genious performance :)

[rubendude6]

sad face ... i am trying to play like that but it is just to hard for me D=

well.. more practice =_=

[raikishi079]

@OriginalCopyCat1874 Yah, me too! :D

[xXPredraGXx]

Most musicaly profound burglar in the history of theft...

[dddrtko]

HAHAHA Fake ?

I can't believe someone actually thought this was faked ?

Your fingering is spot on, and there is no indication that you didnt know what you were doing... Because it shows that you do...

LMAO Fake... hahaha

Don't pay no mind Starlingspector

I am a fellow Spanish Guitar player and I commend you on your impressive performace.

Very Well Done

[ArianRohani]

Fantastic! I'm very impressed!

[bswargo]

@invictorium that IS funny... judging from the way he's bundled up, he must be playing in the wine cellar, or he's got a bodacious electric bill and he's trying to cut back on heating. : )

If that's the case, even more kudos to his skill... ever try to play classical (or any genre) guitar with cold hands?

[AndrewPandie]

@bswargo my house has been freezing for the past few days and playing this song is hard with cold hands. :[

[BurnoutParadajs]

fail

[pas0003]

this is absolutely amazing!

[EduOrta142536]

hey the piano and guitar version are in different keys :0

[Costamarzili]

suuuuuuper

[invictorium]

the burglar just stopped by to give us a quick recital of asturias 

[OriginalCopyCat1874]

@invictorium I lol'ed so hard

[Kakashi44445]

@invictorium This has got to be one of the funniest comments I have ever seen.

[ShinyWhiteLights]

@invictorium obviously he knows what he's doing, you NEVER take an axe home with you before testing it out!

[Sandude]

@invictorium fuck, you made me laugh out loud in the library

[stargazergirlst]

@invictorium  i laughed out loooooooud;-)

[sgilk4]

This player IS playing this piece. There is obviously a slight delay on the video. This player is excellent. This version does differ a bit from the one I learned, though.

[Aurelius27x]

Sorry... it feels tooooo rushed. Just like Ana Vidovic's version... just because you CAN play it fast doesn't mean you should. The melody doesnt have enough time to breathe. It just doesn't work with this tempo IMO. Too much color is lost.

[eekuna]

I don't know whether he plays the music or not. but his finger are moving corectly, and that he doesn't match the music, can be because of bad quality of video camera Just watch his oter videos.

[eekuna]

I don't know whether he plays the music or not. but his finger are moving corectly, and that he doesn't match the music, can be because of bad quality of video camera.

[sajateacher]

wow... fantastic!

[AntiWall]

I don't like the tone overall, too bright. You should've used some softer tones there too to add variety.

[faizn]

haha dressed like a theif. nice

[jhealy1970]

guitar playing is stellar but what's up with the hat ie lose the hat you'd definitely look cooler without it

[punkgrungerock182]

WHAT THE FUCK! man! he got that riff from the fucking Doors man! Spanish Caravan!

[rebelvision]

@punkgrungerock182 Yeah, Isaac took some mushrooms to travel to the future and smoke some weed with a lot of hippies while listing to "spanish caravan". Back to 1886 he then decided to arranged that riff in one great masterpiece of classic music. Damn, what a cheater Albéniz is! Krieger for President!

[mikkespo1]

Wait- I think I was wrong- I think you KNOW HOW to play Asturias, but not as GODD as the recording that is playing. Go watch "mcbalden" play it, with long hair,. Why don't you do an "up close with the hands" one?

[zippri]

@mikkespo1 Forever alone..

[mikkespo1]

Do you actually belive anyone with brains will believe you were playing? Anyone who's ever picked up a guitar can tell you have a boom box on the side of you. Your fingers don't match ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT THE MUSIC IS! But you start to FAKE better near the middle. I don't think your thumb touched the 5th or 6th string at all! Haaaaahahahaha!

[starlinginspector]

@mikkespo1 this has to be one of the best youtube comments I've ever read. I'm replying to this so that it will go to the top of the page where everyone can read it. Thanks for this classic!

[fadio9369]

@starlinginspector Dudes this guy is playing it, you can even see the strings vibrate like crazy if you look closely.. this guy is good! and he has 79 other videos to prove it lol... noone would or could waste that many hours recording videos if they were no good!!

[fadio9369]

@starlinginspector Dudes!! this guy is playing it..l look closely enough and u can see the strings vibrate like crazy -.- and hes a good guitarist! I mean.. he's got 79 other vids to prove it! who would spend hours and hours recording videos they didn't play themselve... duuhh Good job starlinginspector! :]

[uva2323]

@starlinginspector LOL very good

[igotsmoshedify]

@starlinginspector we can all tell that mikkespo1 isn't a music type of person (and has no guitar intelligence whatsoever)

[Stevenette]

@mikkespo1 HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you mean Ghetto Blaster??? Or do you really mean he is a better guitar player than you will ever be at anything in your ignorant life!!!! FOOL!

[Stevenette]

@Stevenette Besides that this is an amzaing piece played as if watching a glassy smooth river flow through an rocky tormenting canyon! Bravo!

[MissilesAgainstBats]

@mikkespo1

Do you not think that the timing of his fingering would be at least slightly off at some places if he were faking? You must not be very good at this if you can't see that his fingers are right where they should be.

I think someone's jealous...

[vaibanez17]

@mikkespo1 He's obviously just in a room with great acoustics(no pun intended) and you're a douchebag who wishes you were good enough to carry around his extra strings.

[MrMerajjio]

@mikkespo1

wtf is your problem?

[norberth71]

@mikkespo1

Se fosse come dici tu sarebbe ancora più incredibile......

Complimenti a starlinginspector

[junash1]

@mikkespo1 - It's probably just sound lag and a bit of delay between video and audio

[HitokiriDiaz]

@mikkespo1 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha

[TheBoxOfBeats]

@mikkespo1 fail

[aufzuleiden987]

@mikkespo1 Look, I've played for over 30 yrs: he's really playing. I know this piece, performed it on several programs; he's not only touching the strings, he's using a free-stroke to get a decent tone with the thumb. What, you want a thumb rest-stroke at that tempo? Won't happen. Consider - he filmed it with a webcam - the resolution isn't the greatest, but the sound is definitely from his guitar. No doubt.

[avskrap]

@mikkespo1 So someone who's uploaded a whole bunch of videos of himself playing, has an album out and is recognized as one of the better classical guitarists on YouTube would fake this? Why? Are you for real?

[TheRealBlackRefleX]

@mikkespo1 it seems to me you are a bloody amateur :D

[dorukakgul]

@mikkespo1 i think you dont have brain you stupid. how could you even think that he is faking! you should go to see a doctor for your ear :)

[meaning1]

@mikkespo1

You complete moron. I can play this piece, and his actions do match the notes. Moreover, even if they didn't, that could simply be lag issues.

[USBYDProductions]

@mikkespo1 lol mommy look at the idiot!

"Dont make eye contact dear"

[MrGayItUp]

@mikkespo1 Lol failure much, moron?

[tovened]

@mikkespo1 I guess you're wrong. ^.^

[kaykamusic]

@mikkespo1 You, the person making the comment, is obviously not a classical guitarist. That is exactly what it looks like to play this piece. But I guess you would not know hahahahaha..................

[Mkamalid]

@mikkespo1 why make an idiot out of your self? I mean it's not like anyone knows who you are or will ever meet you in person, but still. why make an idiot out of your self?

[sackvilleshredder123]

@mikkespo1 you idiot have you watched any of his other videos!, he has albums, and he has incredible technique and feel. Just another sad jealous loser 

[amazingwave]

@mikkespo1 Wow you're a fucking dick!

[industrialm]

@mikkespo1 i think you are right.. i cant tell it, the video has a very low quality..

[massimoburton]

@mikkespo1 do you think anybody with actually believe what you have written?

[luvesmusic1234]

@mikkespo1 wow... you are the one without brains because anyone can see that he is clearly playing that. if you know anything about classical guitar, you wouldnt have posted that.

[TheGatoskilo]

@mikkespo1 someone is jealous

[Yami229]

@mikkespo1  you nitwit

[MrZuQuitar]

@mikkespo1 It's been 6 months and people are still making fun of you cause of your stupidity hahaha. good job

[divinegod102]

@mikkespo1 Have you ever picked up, or played a classical guitar? You judge him but I highly doubt that you can even play a simple rumba line, Mikey Poo.

[MrJoser92]

Felt the intensity ;) amazing job

[hevster501]

too fast-not enough feeling-no crescendo

[TheoriginalGrumphy]

@hevster501 LOL you proberly do much better..Only thing i saw on ya channel was a kid playing come together.Almost! But for a kid GOOD.

[Antikristo90]

Mis respetos colega..

[carfit1]

you are great man. just do the beginning more soft and on the middle of your guitar. otherwise you are nearly perfect. congratulations.

[mrlaa1]

the overtones at 1:42 :)

[botcheinispro]

good job :)

[JDGPicker]

It always make me laugh when I hear or read that so and so looks like"whatever". What is a guitar player suppose to look like? Are we all suppose to have long hair and be tall? Just something to think about.

[Drewriders]

Awesome!!! By far my favorite classical composition.

[mario1951ful]

¡ Sencillamente bello y hermoso tocar así la música de Maestro Albéniz !

[needFoBeat]

yo a bathroom player, good sound, heard some silent background ...play it without:-)

Speed smooth ... and very emotional ...

[0181080]

[pescadotu]

[mcarouselle]

bravo pour ce morceau

[Gummi8ear]

I don't understand why ppl label this piece as it being a cover of Isaac Albeniz when he didn't compose it....=/

[amynos]

@Gummi8ear Who composed it?

[cappannonno]

bravo ma meglio ana vidovic

[mirroz220]

Can anyone plz tell me what the technique is called starting at 0:58?

Great playing by the way!

[wiggerthomas]

@mirroz220 tremolo starts @ about 0:28 if that's what you mean?

[mirroz220]

@wiggerthomas yea, i always thought tremolo was like in recuerdos de la alhambra though. thxs

[19Mauricio91]

Is it possible that you took the sound of john williams it's just the same xD

It's a bit strange because you are in a living room and he is in a church or so!

And you've got an echo like in a church ;)

Your finger moves seem real, nice!

[robatwilkens]

@19Mauricio91 is that really john williams? THE John Williams? i thought he looked more santaish... you sure? still the shot is too old for Williams being in his mid fiftys or so. or is he really that old? i best stop here before i maka fool of myself ^^

[simens66]

so nice.. so good.. and what a performance.. i loved it everypart of it.

[jovanmiletic]

Very nice, a bit faster for my taste but that is just personal preference. I would be happy if I would be able to play like that.

[grimtango5280]

Really really good. Perfect too the last note. Awesome timing. Good job bro.

[MrAantT]

it looks really cold

[Emmalala123]

Wonderful performance!

I like the robber-outfit.

[EmmanuelK2700XS]

Fascinating, props for the performance!

[vazquezgonzalo]

a teather?

[X80band]

he looks great, like a modern musician. stop the deprecating bullchit and insulting him. Props for going ninja on the CG woosies. Your technique is almost flawless. I say almost b/c only YHWH is perfect.

Bless, X

[availabl3account]

perfect performance almost segovian... Thank you.

[fishstick600]

i finally played this all the way through.. albeit not the same version tho.. i freakin love this song and cant wait to master it

[SoullessOpeth]

I have a technical doubt on this piece: does it has to be played with a barrè on the 6th 5th and 4th strings? Cause my teacher told me that, and I don't see anyone doing it. In this video I saw it only once .

[photomanrick]

@SoullessOpeth There are a couple ways of playing a few of the parts in this song. do not doubt this video. He is playing that piece. Maybe you should get a new teacher.

[SoullessOpeth]

@photomanrick I already cleared that doubt, it was just a mini baree at the begining of a bar (compás? don't know music terms in englisih) and I got the best teacher anyone can get at my city's "Bellas Artes institute". I'm hapy I'm studyng this piece after only a year and a half of ever picking a guitar up.
