Roland Dyens - A Night in Tunisia

[SeidelMatheus]

Can he play Smoke On The Water?

[Symphonication]

Does anybody has this in pdf?

[sicolara]

He

is

God

Because only God can play on this way

[psyoptica]

Amazing.

[sandmantreefitty]

Great Scott!

[losingmyreligion6767]

drum guitar? shit just got serious.

[GanjaGabe]

very awesome!!



[misstsanz61]

maravilloso!!



[Michajeru]

Fantastic !

[afrainee2]

probably the one who has this album's score would know that he mistook some notes but it feels somehow greater to me... noone will be better than him. no doubt

[Profartiste]

Quel génie ! Il est fantastique.

Très original et captivant.

Je l'ai découvert grâce à un de mes élèves.

[curtnevan]

Pure F'ing GENIUS!!! Thank you so much, I never would have discovered this.

[christophedag]

comment ne pas trouver ça sublime ???

Moi je ne vois pas !!!J'adore !!!

[Dhammawitt]

weird, I usually just play my guitars.

[sinning76]

He can swing like a monkey, be percussively genial, arrange like zappa, and be as concentrated as R. Fripp when playing. Fascinating musician!

Would be nice to share a night in tunisia with him!

[dlo693]

@sinning76 You got me when you mentioned Robert Fripp!!

[hammeredbro95]

@sinning76 This guy did a master class at my school, he's an interesting guy. Pretty eccentric haha. But he sure shreds on guitar.

[federipal]

@sinning76

This guy's way of playing is far ahead, technically and stylistically, than Fripp's. He plays absolutely adventurous pieces, like Zappa's, not as Fripp's.

[mtplaceband]

how can anyone dislike this :

[VincentVessalius]

4:29 What the hell!?

[IamDaCapo]

I like the drum start ^^

[MrUstasAlex]

It's very cool !!!

[guitarguy2596]

such ambitious playing! a great piece and fun to watch

[roturner]

To me there are three kinds of jazz musicians. Those who play their instruments (most) those who are played by their instruments (a shocking number) and those very few who breathe life into their instruments. I would say that Deyens is one of those. Like Pat Matheney he's a guitar player who uses his instrument to project his emotion. 5 stars! 10!

[LapoGnappo]

sorry guys, Roland is amazing, but if you want seriously to talk about the foundation of modern music, it is more probably the BLUES ... bu who cares? there are two kinds of music only: good music and bad music ... and this is good!!! ;-)

[iliatay]

im gonna shank the 11 idiots one by one in broad daylight

[Gianlazz]

you are fantastic!! god bless you!!

[olgakrylova777]

Thank you for your brilliant arrangement and performance and for your talent!!! God bless you and your creativity!!! Your friends Olga & Vladimir Krylov.

[Estonianwoodsman]

[moustatache]

@Estonianwoodsman If you find it, send my a message x)

[bruno280678]

suono caldo e pastoso, grande gusto musicale, feeling ritmomelodico con lo strumento praticamente alle stelle...cosa altre dire..tutto questo è rolad dyens signori*

[VoodooKush]

That was incredible

[Withgeorge]

i remember when he came to my city ,he played this piece and it was amazing, i love the way he starts his concerts

[rawrgDX]

This guy! Man! He blows my mind! Classical guitar to me just took a step back when this guy plays. He's got a lot of skills!

[dianach92]

complete genius! he came to my country (paraguay) last year... he amazed me in every way possible. This man is what I call, a TRUE musician. Music from the soul

[DjHugo507]

OMG 

[SweertugaDany]

im 15 and im learning classical guitar in a conservatory my teacher learned with him, and it shows she can play music out of thin air no sheets no nothing amazing...

[AndreW2K1978]

THE BEST!))) ЭТО ЛУЧШЕЕ!)))

[dolevamar]

The hell with being a pilot, when I grow up I want to be Roland Dynes!

[amusiathread]

I've often wondered what the die-hard classical guitar community thinks pf Dyens. He is far from traditional, but still has an attitude of utmost respect and love for the instrument. That, and he positively owns just about everybody else.

[FiatObscuritas]

more and less

hehehe just kidding, very well done, but in live is more dificult to play it! wow!

[freesalute]

those chords!!! this is why i love the guitar

[zwalrus1]

I'm learning this right now. It's brilliant. Everything this guy does is awesome.

[aparensis]

When he walks into a room, the fragrance of cigars just fills the space. Saw him at the Rantucci a few years back, gave a master lesson... he's got a great sense of humour with students, even if it comes across as a little dry. I loaned him a pencil in the class, I'll never forget it!! He told me I needed to relax and throw away my capo. ;)

[GuitarAndWow]

The best part of the song is from 0:00 to 4:51

[alvarodum]

@GuitarAndWow It is NOT a song, who's singing anything?

[GuitarAndWow]

@alvarodum Rofl



[2ovidiu]

How I can to take the score?Is a great song and a good compositor

[randrianabel]

merci encore Roland pour les cours extraordinaires et inoubliables que vous m'avez donné lors du stage 1989 organisé par Alexandre Boulanger à Bastia

[Blobule]

Roland Dyens and Andres Segovia tie for winner of guitar.

[peleka]

This guy has taken a raging can opener to my tin guitar mind…

[Duendedormido]

WTF? How come I have not seen him before. Gosh.

[MrNoKid]

Kill me somebody! This guy is good as hell!

I feel like I've never knew what a classical guitar is... and like I've never lived before!

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now after this ...

[doutorronaldo]

My god what's that thing he does at 1:47?

[stephanisafag]

Doo doo

[Marysch681]

Magnifique ! quel talent !!!

[azuremusique]

ohh q bravo¡¡¡ wuenisimo final

[poupee58]

Amazing playing and arrangement

[ComboUno]

j'adoooooooooore bravo roland

[bominas]

This is a magestic way of playing the guitar by a great guitarist!!!

[bominas]

This is a magestic way of playing guitar by a great guitarist!!!

[infernia7blade]

Seen him live in Amsterdam last Saturday (19sep). My mind was blown by his skill in the use of percussion :)

[simonsegundoluz2012]

Roland Dyens great composer of classical guitar like me. He created of master pieces.Exelent arranged of "A Night in Tunisia" (Dizzy Gillespie). Wonderful!!!

[ananasdt7]

oh myy.................. o.O

i'm just looking at my guitar wondering if this piece of wood will ever sound at least similar to that....

[JerryRancid]

это гениально

[TheMonkynator]

@JerryRancid

[bungholio80]

Oh man awesome voicings!!

[pavanmanju232]

[pwilso11]

[astrocelestial]

[seinfeldsandwhich]

None of u actually this, u only listen to this shit cuz its "cool" u just wanna be different. pathetic...

[DyTakLobos]

@seinfeldsandwhich Go listen to your death metal so the rest of us can listen to good music, like this...

[seinfeldsandwhich]

@DyTakLobos death metal is gay, i listen to nickleback and three days grace. IDIOT!!!!

[smelliecow]

@seinfeldsandwhich well nickleback and three days grace is just as gay

[seinfeldsandwhich]

@smelliecow not as gay as u, u super gay faggot pants bitch boy

[smelliecow]

@seinfeldsandwhich oooh ouch those were some hurtful words haha

[seinfeldsandwhich]

@smelliecow u must be immune to insults since u probbaly get made fun of all the time. SmellyCOW!!! HAHAHAH!!! L00000000000SERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!­@@@

[2734nr2]

@seinfeldsandwhich well at least he doesn't suck cock like you

[moustatache]

@smelliecow That's how you kill him...

[DyTakLobos]

@seinfeldsandwhich Wow thats even worse than death metal...

[jazzpsalti]

is he improvising this solo?

[openfieldatsunset]

Whoa, umm, just whoa... That was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time now, I was captivated the whole time. First I've heard of this fellow but safe to assume I'm hooked.

[fj2ee]

Deciros lo que querais pero este es el puto amo

[Camilo870913]

El maestro Roland, es un fuera de serie!!!

[thejugglenaut91]

does he not play with nails?

[rrr19011555]

Extremely TALENTED and creative

[MetalSweden]

really fine sound =) i liked it very much.

[MariaGloriaGonzalez]

Vergatarium... Wuao...!

[FiatObscuritas]

wow, siglo XXI

[dneis]

C'est un de mes morceaux préférés et là tout y est.

Magnifique!!

[ozqari]

it looks like he wouldn't have long fingernails like most classical guitarists =O

[moustatache]

what do you mean?

[jamzai]

@ozqari he has long nails, look closely, my guitar professor was her student, and we would kill you if you dint have nails hehe

[jefferyjarvis1234]

It's a shame youtube only has 5 stars you deserve 5 more for this performance..... DAMN GOOD!!!!!! It's a shame other so called musicians have have not seen this. Jazz is the foundation for all music excluding classical.

[dedog2003]

@jefferyjarvis1234 Lol @ this.

[stephanisafag]

@jefferyjarvis1234 harvest

[zwalrus1]

@jefferyjarvis1234 Because classical is the foundation for jazz, classical is the foundation of music. It's all derivative of Baroque.

[KeithDeuser]

@zwalrus1 not necessarily. The earliest western music that survives to this day is Gregorian Chant, and nobody knows exactly when that came into being... All we know is that people began to write it down in very primitive notation around the year 1000 I think. What's interesting is that NO music survives from Roman or Greek times, but there are depictions in their art of people playing flute-like instruments.

[ghostdog7575]

@zwalrus1 music is the foundation for all creation. Baroque is just the codification of tonal music. Music is tonal by nature. The foundation of all music is sound as it existed at the beginning of Time! "in the beginning was the Word (sound)" J. 1:1

[MrGibby15]

@jefferyjarvis1234

blues is the foundation of popular music including jazz

[MBledzephed]

@jefferyjarvis1234 excluding blues too...:p

[Alzdr]

@jefferyjarvis1234 Dyens is amazing, but you are wrong, it may be the foundation for a lot of Dyens' music, but Jazz is not the foundation for all music excluding classical. Anyone playing any type of music can inspire anyone else, whether they be classically trained, jazz musician, traditional/ethnic, rock, pop, etc. It's all good.

[yasseford]

@Alzdr I agree that one does not have to be directly inspired by jazz in his or her music creation, but it is undeniable that western music after jazz could not proceed without inspiration from jazz.

[nicoheckens1]

@jefferyjarvis1234 I think classical is the foundation of all music including jazz. Is that what you meant? Just curious..

[localboy1948]

you are one bad ass player ......not any easy tune put over on  just a six string gut guitar...........but you done it? bravo..........this is a keeper

[kimokb11]

wawoo man

[amusiathread]

Awesome interpretation of a great standard. Well done.

[Carolenni]

Magnifico!!!!!

[oscilis]

Terrific!

[bobyjack2]

incredible and magnificient !!!!

[logansGT]

Absolutely amazing!

Then again, when you can't afford to hire a drummer, necessity is the mother of invention :o)

[lorenzotrojan]

haha! what a weirdo! what an awesome player!!!

@Blobule: the best player? there is no such a thing I think, still I agree he's awesome!

[wilkiemart]

wierd is a complement in my book :D

[headbanger623]

Great Player and Amazing Sound Quality.

[crescentridge]

thnking outside th box in a genius way!

[johnjohnblazeini]

Night and Day is a book by Roland. Its got this song, all of me, polka dots and moon beams. He is probably one of the coolest guys i have met! he did a master class at Fredonia and just blew everyone away.

[wilkiemart]

ooh my friend goes to fredonia and just recommended this guy to me. so far so good for damn sure

[Blobule]

Is the the best guitar player? He must be the best one.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

He reinvented the guitar, and if he made instructional videos, he would have started revolution in guitar playing.

[guitarvaro]

where can I get the music sheets?

[skatastolako]

if anyone has the music sheet plz send me a message, I am willing to play this piece and I think I can do it

[blah293]

If this is in the book I think it's in, it's in his "Les Arrangements [Something] l'amiable". It's published by Henry Lemoine and you can get it on several websites :)

[opidacul]

@skatastolako if you stil want the score send me a private mesage on the tube channel with the mail.

[m4tth3]

You can purchase the notes via internet. I doubt there are any tabs out.

[zwalrus1]

@guitarvaro It's part of the Night and Day collection. I don't think you can get the piece separately. The Night and Day collection is nothing but brilliant arrangements. You can get it at Guitar Solo Publications from San Francisco or from Amazon I think.

[renaudnato]

Tout simplement magique

[tamada73]

Genius!!

[QUEVIVALAPAZ]

Los cortos comentarios reflejan lo que se siente al ver este video: no existen las palabras justas para describirlo.

!Simplemente genial!

[yoav009]

nice

[king3rnie]

YEAH!

[fourplusseven]

That's pure magic.

[danielramjattan]

I say goddamn.

[jackinthebox1690]

cool

[iguitarro]

wow...

[longboarderharty]

brilliance

[julianbabykk]

Man, without watching the clip, I thought there were 4 instruments . Truly a new milestone of exploration on guitar!

[musicman555]

This man is a living legend! Does anyone in the world has imagination as he to do arrangements? Or to play in such a masterful and yet, original way? I doubt it. "Long Live Roland Dyens!"

[konraona]

Awesome!!!

[SHSVball13]

I also had a masterclass with him today, what an amazing guitarists and teacher!

[guitarkidshredman]

i just got back from a masterclass with roland. he is simply amazing

[zales000]

ZOMG!!! ME TOO!!!!

[noiculo]

QUE HERMOSO¡¡¡¡

[cocolocodelatierra]

espectacular y perfecto ese arreglo de roland

[MasentoKamasuki]

incredible :D

[SoullessOpeth]

Ni el Papa toca esa pieza.

[BetoPazVal]

Se paso...! Desafinar la sexta para llegar al tono.... ummm. Es evidentemente un virtuoso++ de la guitarra.

[lZay007]

Como diria Miles Davis, Coooool......

[leonardolozano]

¡Se pasó de genial!

[koyteSSS]

genio

[wattacoolguy]

that was intense!

[barcoxa]

I saw him in Fredrikstad in norway 10 years ago, and it is still one of the best concerts i have seen. Imo the best guitarplayer on the planet.

[einzinger1]

A friend invited me to a concert in Toronto recently where Roland performed in Yorkville to celebrate Eli Kassner's 85th birthday. It was an amazing experience. No one moved, coughed... you could hear a pin drop. He is quiet amazing. Like a fine wine, a good book, a gourmet meal. Bravo! LE

[sevorgai]

Wow!!! My jaw is on the floor! Dyens is by far the best active classical guitarist imho. And I think one could make an argument for best all time classical guitarist. :D

[Adepthood]

This is incredible man thanks.

[moustatache]

@sevorgai one of the best nowadays but not THE best

[ghostdog7575]

@sevorgai yeah you're right. But don't forget to include Carlos Barbosa Lima and his amazing only-for-the-few-arrangements. Listen to what he did to a simple old easy choro like "sons de carilhoes" or "seis milonga" (especially written for him) and careful with your jaw!

[larensflarens]

@sevorgai agree
