what just happened? i just witnessed the impossible and the most incredible sounds simultaneously!!!! i cannot believe how that is possible but im soooo glad i got to watch this! this is why youtube is the greatest! and that one dislike must have mistakenly clicked that button or is just deaf cause this is nothing short of amazing!
He's playing three melodies at once with perfect tremolo at the same time...Amazing. Now let me just pick my jaw up from the floor and I can start practicing. Or I could just give up.
a kurna ja v tom slysim tri party pro normalni skupinu. Basu, rytmiku i lead. Tohle je prostě nářez. Tak před Vámi pane tedy smekám. Tyhle ruce bych někdy rád viděl hrát na živo.
Kytarový virtuos. Vlastně geniální virtuos. Když jsem tohle poslouchal tak jsem si myslel, že s ním hraje ještě jeden kytarista a pak jsem poznal jak se silně pletu. Je to přesně tak jak píše IBMLR61. U nás nedoceněný génius. A je to moc velká škoda.
Naprosto vyjímečný kytarista a skladatel.Jeho životní příběh a jeho unikátní hra stvořil génia.Ve světě uctívaný a zbožňovaný a v česku...jako každý jiný inteligentní a úspěšný člověk...není potřeba dál rozvádět.Díky mistře za to že jste...
Does any know what he uses to hold his guitar up? He's not using a foot stool so his feet are both planted firmly, which is supposed to be better for the back and body tension.
@Xelanderthomas It's a Gitano. Not an ErgoPlay as some have mentioned. I personally would recommend the ErgoPlay though over the Gitano, but it depends really if the Gitano (more restricted in positions) suits you more as a player. The ErgoPlay can be modified more and you can really hone in on a position that's perfect for you.
I began performing this piece in the early 60's and is still in my repertoir because it brings forth the voice of the guitar giving me such pleasure to just hear my guitar as I join the music and enjoy my life as a musician. It;s like singing a favorite song.
Impressive variation on romanza. Really like the change of all the base notes; and the additional carrying of the melody in the base notes during the tremolo bit.
This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this piece I've heard. Your technical prowess and expressive execution is an inspiration for those of us who love and play the guitar. Bravo Maestro!
I saw many beautiful thinks but this has no compare. I think, these masterpieces will be never repeated in future. For me more than piece of art ;). Jsi nejlepší Štěpáne
neznal jsem ho až do koncertu pro Václava Havla v v pražské Lucerně a stydím se za sebe..Nádhera je slabé slovo

@matrags You may just as well give up. Rak was the first ever professor of guitar in Czech Republic. He didn't get it for free, as you may see.
