"Swan Lake Theme" (Tchaikovsky) Guitar

[loch70]

Good work! Remember my father loved classical music and sat me on the couch and "forced" me to listen. And it helped.=) I now love classical music.

[gymnosophy]

Great. High as a kite but great!

[Ninjameisterful]

you rock :P

[maxikronnont]

Hey Van, could u get me the tabs/sheets ? I really enjoyed this version ; )

[van1976]

@maxikronnont I don't have the tabs... but my answer Always is "Fingerpicking the Classics" vol 2 (or vol 1 good too) by Jason Waldron-- Get it! 20 "Do-able" great tabbed classics w/ CD--it's cheap over at Amazon books. Well worth it, I listen to the CD in my car. Or try Jason Waldron's website, he's a really nice guy. Thanks for watching.

[chessinfantry]

Great song, really bad performance, terrible sorry

[economakis]

@chessinfantry wats wrong with ur life my friend? do u find joy by posting negative comments on peoples videos. personally i think this man has BALLS, mixes classical music with accoustic and i think i heard some distortion in there. Abit of everything.

Keep ur opinions to us self, if u not spreading love, its best not to say anything.

GET IT???

[chessinfantry]

@economakis fuck u motherfucker i aint ur freind, im giving my opinion bitch now what the fuck u gonna do about it...huh? not a goddamn thing, if i knew where u were id come slap u with my dick and crack ur fuckin head open like a walnut...then go find ur cunt of a mom and ass rape her in front of u, hopefully shes dead already so i can FUCK her corpse, gimme ur address see if i dont show up in combat boots ready to stop ur ass...im more than half this faggots age and 10x better GOT THAT BOY?

[SirSmokeal0t]

Oh wow that was awesome. Amazing how you just play this on the fly.

Gotta get me that book too btw.

[van1976]

@SirSmokeal0t

Thanks. Yes the book is very much worth getting.

[sockenfrank]

I love this Version.

Cool.

[Thying1]

You look like Tchaikovsky, I wish you had his same prospect!!

[Gangly1]

Eh up Van.

Give me a second while I put my tights on...ahhh that's better.

Now I can do my Pas de Deux...Petit Saux...Pirouette..etc.

Ouch..my back hurts now.

Perhaps I should just listen to this lovely music instead.

Is that a new "set up" you have?

Cheers,

Paul

[van1976]

Thanks Paul. This one turned out okay--couple minor mistakes, (otherwise the "Tchaikovsky Police would be all over me--ha ha, they are out there) I'm plugged into my Fender amp can and lots of Reverb on the Takamine guitar pre-amp. Thanks for giving a listen.

Great playing, Van! Those arrangements by Jason Waldron are terrific! Looking forward to more.

[van1976]

Hi Julie, Just a suggestion...You would do yourself a fovor if you added this book (with CD) to your library, really--it's cheap (used) too. Great snipets of great masterpieces! Good for the repetoire. I love these songs.

And THANKS.!

Very nice playing Van. Tchaikovsky sounds so good on guitar when your behind it tickling the nylon. Great job Van.

This song really "grew" on me. I love it. Thanks for your gracious comments. I think the swans are dancing too.

[van1976]

Thanks, and btw I always liked the name "Josie" (sounds happy) and the song "Josie" by Steely Dan too.

--Van

[peteralekka]

Well done, Van!

I like it.

[van1976]

Hey "Thanks Peter!". It could have been a little better/ cleaner... and as I listen back, a little slower too. This "Swan lake Theme" is new to me. I really like it's passages. Great tune.

Regards,
