Jan Cyrka - In The End

[WilyFaux]

Nice to see the ol' Hoodlum guitar back in action, Jan! David Mead

[warrenwally]

i love the way his face is expressionless while he is playing with so much hahaha !

[Humonegrostoner]

@warrenwally Well... he's English after all.

[numskidude]

great sustain!!! great tone!! need new hair style though!!

[MrCordoba70]

Satriani at the beginning, Vai at the end.

[emosucks89]

Holy shit is that a Nightswan you're playing??? Don't see many of those these days!

[d4j0k3r]

Dear Santa. All I want for Christmas is HALF HIS FUCKING TONE!! Thank you :)

[wesley12091]

musica encrivel

[MiqueiasRox2009]

WooW

Very nice..

[marcellotheater]

HOLY SH... DUDE!!

awesome theme!!

beautifull

[NAKKURUPANTI]

good.

I like it.

[MultiSchnur]

super musicalité !!! super touché !!!! la classe !

[satch88]

un touché exemplaire !!! une vrai lecon de maitise !!!! j'ai rencontré yan en 1993 a montpellier en france et depuis j'adore !!!!!

a touchdown copy magnificent player guitar ! a true lesson of maitise! I met Yan in 1993 at montpellier in france and since I love!

[piltoch]

Jan, one best guitar player and composer love his work.

[Sparkles713]

Jans career began with Zodiac Mindwarp? are you kidding. Jan was playing around the fleapits (aka-bars) of the UK for years through the eighties with his own band `Cyrka`. He didn`t have a trem for years, but he still had a gorgeous sustain whatever guitar he used.

[Roadtoconsciousness]

In was on a page about Rob Zombie... then I thought of Zodiac Midwarp... and "hey it's been years sonce I've checked anything about Jan Cyrka"... checked this... and wow, he's better than ever.

[slugpumper1]

Great playing and a tone to die for - just a Boss Super Overdrive and a Laney - nah - there is a ton of compression here as well to get that sustain and delay/reverb that you can hear at the end - a stunning piece of music from a huge talent.

[GibsonFlyingFive]

What an awesome guitarist, will have this track played at my funeral!!

I received the cd " Beyond The Common Ground" as a birthday pressie, made turning 50 acceptable!! An absolutely awesome cd for any fan of rock guitar music and by far Jan's best work.

Joe Satriani rates him very highly, (his own words).

If you ever decide to tour the UK, please come to Cardiff !!!!!

[TheHornet79]

Sustain!

[PolishShogun]

The playing is even cooler than the Kramer! Nice job!!

[slugpumper1]

Shredders take note: - blasting away at a million miles an hour is entertaining for about 5 minutes, this kind of playing is far more memorable. If most of us could play half as well as this guy we would be happy, texture, phrasing, melody, tone - its all here and it's fantastic - Thanks Jan

[Tonesnob72]

@slugpumper1 100 percent true, alot of us even though we can play quick and in time the more notes you add usually means the more you lose in translation. It funny to watch him because most of the laymen out there think because hes not sweeping or alternate picking 100 miles an hour means hes not as good as others but I put this guy way up on my list!!!

[ExtremeBogom]

@slugpumper1

Slow hands take note: -

Not everybody has a short attention span, a slow wrist, and zero patience.

Many people like speed playing AS WELL AS slow playing. Don't belittle.

[slugpumper1]

@ExtremeBogom You seem to be saying that guys who don't shred are a bit thick (short attention span, zero patience) - I was not trying to belittle anyone, unlike yourself.

[ExtremeBogom]

@slugpumper1

Not thick, just smarmy.

[007MrMagoo]

@slugpumper1 Well said. Listen up kids. SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE. Jan's living proof of that.

[VictorJamieson]

what an insane tone

[wortrax]

We need more Jan Cyrka track's on "bluesjamtracks" !!! Record some track's...

P.S. Beautiful song.

[LithiumJack]

Whoa his whammy bar usage is amazing

[EduardoAllo]

I really hate this man...that´s the finest way to play and make music...so smooth, so elegant, so brilliant, you know...He seems playin´a guitar solo, but he doesn´t does, cause that´s a complet art work, where ALL the notes and details are there for so inspired melody...really hate that man!! (he is so brilliant..,.)

[Mr20sangs]

beautiful!!!!

[oOOHHHhhhh]

You write such beautiful melodies, Jan. Thanks for many years of inspiration.

[007MrMagoo]

Jan would have to rate among the all time masters of the floyd rose. His fluid control over it really shines in this!!!!!!!!wish I could do that.

[rulerjoel]

Awesome =D thanks for sharing.

[authoradamwhittaker]

I wonder if Steve Vai listened to this when he wrote For The Love Of God.

[Rangerm0use]

wasn't he developing a Hoodlum circuitry based pedal, cause I'd sure love to add one to my rig

[ale123ssio]

What effects does he use?

stomps, amps ecc

THANX!

[ale123ssio]

KRAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[visualkeirockstar]

is there any other guitarist like jan?

[jade050403]

@visualkeirockstar No only one !

[cliffthemall]

[kittykiller897]

Cyrka's a genius.

[Islandsoundzz]

[GhettoDope7lc]

[DaiKurome]

[mariuszkrzyk]

[Marcin79W]

Kocham ten utwór niezmiennie od 15 lat !

Dear Jan. I love this song since I was starting to play the guitar. It was 15 years ago.

You have done a lot of beautiful and fantastic music! Thank you a lot!

[JezzyLewis]

Wow! thats mega Awesome!!!!!!! (^_^)

[Shawn72Chu]

Sounds like Joe Satriani.

[wojciech1968]

@Shawn72Chu Satriani sounds like Jan!

[111chazz]

So Subtle. So Sublime. Everything about this piece is just perfect. I keep coming back and never tire of it's relaxing therapy on my soul. Pure manna from heaven and music for the soul. SPIRITED!

[Mathidal]

@111chazz You should consider buying his albums. You won't be disappointed. :)

This song is from his second album "Spirit".

The quality of the studio version is even better than this. :)

[111chazz]

@Mathidal Thanks for the info mate, I will buy Spirit because this is on it and see what the rest of the album is like. Fun and peace to you and yours.

[Mathidal]

@111chazz You can't easily find his album on the market, so I suggest to download it from jamtrackcentral. :)

I used paypal to buy the album.  BEST USED BUCKS EVER!! :)

[ShredFever92]

what song is this? i dont recognize it from his album

[bluesjamtracks]

@ShredFever92

It's from Jan's second album called Spirit.

[ShredFever92]

@bluesjamtracks thanks because for some reason, my computer doesnt have the titles of things above the video. time for a new one.

[ahiiiify]

un gran guitarrista si señor ;) me encanta

[rapisvo]

Efficace melodia,ben sostenuta,:)

[AMONARSIEL]

[NOODLES38]

Loved this song from a superb album Spirit bought it when it came out Jan you really need to tour and none of my mates believe you do the jeremy kyle theme ha !

[dahudge14]

This guy has a very beautiful, ballad-y style of playing. Very impressive.

[padawan007]

hohooo look what we have here a kramer nightswan cool job sir very nice

[RomainChapus]

Still the same Kramer! Jan, you'r the shredder that got the best bends, smart phrasings I ve heard. So glad to hear you. I feel like a kid.

[BrighamHB]

Just discovered this guy... he has so much finesse, and such amazing tone! Really fantastic guitarist, I'll have to buy one of his albums sometime

[kadirhilmi5050]

that's ok i put my guitar on the sofa and go to fck my sekf i will neverdo that ...

[lannerback]

is this really the boss pedal and the laney+the pu´s??anyone who can help to get this tone? u would sell all my gear just need this sound! very good this huy

[STRATOCASTER1992]

what a song!!

[JuanSebastia]

to my favorites immediately :D...

[007MrMagoo]

I don't mean to be over the top in my opinion. But this to me is the MOST EMOTIVE AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD. It has beauty and feel beyond words Jan. I first heard this track a year ago and still feel the same when I hear it. 

[VinXm]

This is music!

[lannerback]

WOW!! Is the cornford the speakerbox from the laney????? what amp is jan using in this track??thx!!

[mashafasha5]

What guitar is that?

[Narrowshrimp]

@mashafasha5 Kramer nightswan with custom paint job!

[Narrowshrimp]

@mashafasha5 Kramer nightswan with custom paint job!

[rx8pilot]

Beautiful Song, Tone, and Feel....Very Inspiring from an outstanding musician....Please check out my cover version of this great piece of music!

[albooher1]

I saw the setup at the end of the video, but not sure if that's the exact settings and such...

Thanks!

[albooher1]

Amazing......Can you share how that amazing tone was achieved? It sounds incredible even on my laptop speakers!!!!

Brilliant playing!

[TheFireball100]

That is some amazing phrasing!!

[gitarmats]

Fantastic playing! Love the tone!

[MrBrucetaine]

amazing tone man. great

[jvroach]

you know he's got some major swagger

[all4amy1]

wow i like this alot keep rockn dude

[grover511]

Amazing.

[caiosilvagt]

Great Song !!!!

Abraço for Brazil. Caio Silva !

[nznaturopath]

hey very nice chops aswell. Please take a look at the whole video of THE JD SCREAMER demo i have uploaded - its something i made up on the spot that ive never played. PLease do watch it all the way through, i would love your opinion on the tone of the pedal etc etc. thanks

[ViaOSCard]

Great tone but he's a bit boring and robotic..he does make some space between his licks which is awesome, but he should exploit this space for a little less predictable playing in my opinion. Not starting every phrase on the first beat is a good place to start from.

[Narrowshrimp]

@ViaOSCard Funny Guy...... why not send us a video of what you mean?

[ViaOSCard]

@Narrowshrimp I'll let you know when I'll find one.

[007MrMagoo]

@ViaOSCard sometimes less is more

[ViaOSCard]

@007MrMagoo I agree. But you can do less and still be interesting. In my opinion, this is not so interesting. It's not Mr Cyrka's fault only, the backing track is pretty boring as well if you ask me.

[danielsvn]

feeling! feeling! feeling! feeling! feeling! feeling! feeling! feeling!....

[Narrowshrimp]

Brilliant !  and living proof that pulling strange faces and looking as though you are in pain are not essential prerequisites to making the guitar sing.

[Narrowshrimp]

Spot on!

[dullehansen]

Amazing ......Greattt

[koolynoodyano]

this is called pure sustaining awesomeness... what a liquid rock tone love it!!

[ihforever696]

Wow, amazing.  I play a Nightswan as well and it sounds incredible, but Jan is really making his sing here - awesome.

[maurice5150]

Great guitarist, great composition. Speechless.

[UltimateGuitarist17]

Nice Jan, very nice! When are you going to bring us more enjoyable songs here on YT

[steveforwarduk]

theres a reason why Joe Satriani said the only guy worth listening to in the UK was Jan. For me, he has bags of taste, and style and a great touch. when you gonna tour again Jan ?.

[111chazz]

Obviously before Guthrie Govan came on the scene but ye! I too love this and think Jan is the man. I like the fact that he is just playing in the mood and not trying to impress as well we know he can play anything. This just has it all for me, I just love it. Peace!

[bamzehouse]

Caramba!!!já sou fã desse cara...

toca de mais meu!!!nunca vi coisa igual...

adoro solos melodicos e isso ele faz bem!!!!

[Piotrmiko]

Great playing, good sound, nice feeling, but a bit too long for me, i got bored. 4/5 for me. nice work :)

[MrKirkhammett666]

very nice!!!!!!

[TerraHuman]

What a feeling in this song!

I really like feel-good solo's.

Interesting guitar by the way, how many frets does it have? The neck pickup did sound better than I thought it would... it's so close to the bridge.. Maybe he didn't even use the neck puckup? hmm.. I dunno

But it was great!

[takumi1966]

It's So Good song!!

I want buy it !!!!

[Moisesgtr]

Amazing playin'

[dave422x]

Have the albums... GREAT to actually get to see you playing after all these years... man you strangle the notes out of that thing. Top notch. Thanks Jan.

[jacksondk2pro333]

i bought this backing track, thats great compliment guys

[Narrowshrimp]

Very nice!

[liamMaru]

Great playing, but what the hell happened to that Nightswan?!

[SkaterDenito]

I've never seen so much emotion in a song before!!

Masterpiece!!

[pacoelectronico]

Hey man! You must hear a song by him called "From your lips". I know Jan Cyrka since I was eleven, he is great!

[KDBx1993]

Is this the song from the 3 mobile internet advert?

[bluesjamtracks]

Hi @KDBx1993, this isn't the song from the 3 mobile ad but Jan has indeed written and recorded the music for their current commercial. You can see (and hear it) it on the Yellow Boat Music website.

[GuitarEssence]

Hm i feel sorry for you because it was hard to find this video for me and maybe for other. Great song!!!! Nice guitar nice tone. I can't even hold the sound that longXD.100Euro guitar XD. Anyways fantastic song!!!

[casio3991]

god i wish i had that diciplin

[highrollerzzz]

аh, yeah, that's what it's called

[Lynchman66]

Killer riff @ 3:25

[jeanglaude]

Superbe, magnifique !

[007MrMagoo]

Laney amps are the answer. British amps have the sweetest. warmest, most emotion driven sound of any any amp I've ever played. The end

[SPEEDFREAK200008]

OMG !!! a tone to die for..if only i had a tone like his id be happiest person on you tube....(0-0)

[StratoLoren]

awsome!

[007MrMagoo]

Jan is the perfect example of restraint. It can be all too easy to allow the ego to override as a lot of musicians do, I'm among them at times. This is more often then not to the detriment of the song. Jan proves that. I remember when BEYOND THE COMMON GROUND was released. There were alot of very positive comments made at the time now I see why. That album was only available via mail order and I would have sent away to the U.K. in order to get it. I never did.

[111chazz]

Love love love it! Sorry about the stutter but I'm just soo excited.

[aandc2005]

thats F&cking beautiful! great job!! Love that krammer!

[jaro0515]

ten czlowiek jest wielki!!! idealny przyklad na to ze czasem lepiej zargac pare dzwiekow z niesamowitym feelingiem niz wylac ich tysiace bez serca....

[tgnz24]

Wow a Kramer!Great playing too!

[muckybird69]

Stand up when you play man ...like you used to do!

[blacktapes]

I loved this whole album when it first came out, I still have it on cassette somewhere - I must get a digital copy! Great to see it played like this.

[0iGer0]

Nthing like Guthre Govan or Alex Hutching played for BluesJamTracks, but it's still quite BEAUTIFUL.

[stuntguitar]

Nice arrangement and sweet tone.

[PJeanGuitar]

isso.

[weedzone666]

awensome

[fuza20]

is lo mejor en melody Jan Cyrka

[epicemo1]

this is gr8 wow

[Mathidal]

Great! I like it, it's how music should be!!

I hear influance of Steve Vai in his playing. :)

[nuaurea]

very very emotional...and this sound creats the image..this is what we call music...not speed...

[davidrakovski]

i'm sorry i just vote 1 star for mistake, it's of course great video and amazing music, i'm sorry one more time

[MrBashista]

more like the reason i should quit!!

[rikardo1900]

so beautiful unbelievable..the reason why i'm going to keep on playing!!!

[slowhandplexi]

Jan: absolutely brilliant. Please keep on sharing your playing with us.

[scalesr4]

Damn it there are too many good guitarists out there and your one of them!

Good job!

[person55554]

his tone, its so good!!

[NixxerJixxerWixxer]

I used to play this song whilst making love to my wife lol no kidding

This dude's got emotion

[cdfranc]

That's awesome... my wife won't let me play my guitar in bed.

[AisJais]

Jan is a great musician that play the guitar with magic touch, perfect sound and the vibrato is perfect for his songs and style.

Please Jan , play your song "Beyond the Common Ground" and show us in youtube , Is my favorite song and the middle section (a la Vai) is AMAZINGGGG ¡¡¡¡¡

Thank you for your music ¡¡¡

[111chazz]

Ha, sorry folks my comment below was not aimed at Jan but a reply to 123IN321OUT below. Sorry for any confusion. As you can see from my previous coments I think Jan IS the man.

[EduardoAllo]

Jan Cyrka is the hidden genius...look for his albums, Spirit is a hit in guitar music...don´t understand why this man is not aclaimed all over the world..

[ThePhobiaViewed]

If this was just sound and no video then i guarantee no one would be criticizing the vibrato. It sounds great.

[sat8vai14]

this is sooooo good

[111chazz]

Have visited this piece so many times but still love it. Truly a real musician and best thing, so humble but recognised by the lack of self indulgence. A true star in my eyes.

[lokifea05]

Did David Gilmour and John Petrucci make love and give birth to you?

[GuStereo]

I LOVE THIS AMP

[Lolwiegeilichbinfan]

wooow man your good 5*

[kevinsnightmare]

that kramer is fuckin tasty

[maxwellthedog]

Yeah, it's a Nightswan

[Sxrule]

Not only am I impressed by his playing, but also by his production skills, just listen to guthries album and you'll agree,

[manuorchestra]

This man is able to play really fast...But he doesn't : a real gentleman ! lol

[PacoSantosMusic]

this guy has phenomenal phrasing, i love the simplicity of his playing style and his vibrant tone. but im kinda sitting in the middle of the argument regarding his finger vibrato.

nonetheless, great sound = great video.

cheers!

[TheWeemaster]

Ha my brother walked over and said "he looks like the guy who works at the library" wtf who gives a shit what he looks like he's one hell of a guitarist his use of the floydd is just perfect !!!!!

[123IN321OUT]

I'm not insulting,he has a good sense of melody,but where is this guys Finger vibrato! Check out my videos,I think you will be pleasantly surprised.Take care - Dave Sims

[Rikxa]

that kramer is kinda ugly...

[diehardrocker]

are you nutz?

[Rikxa]

no no i just personally think that musical instruments should not be painted like that... kind of looks like a toy.

[Mightygav2]

i can not stop listening to this song lol its just so much feel t it and like so melodic its just rediculously inspiring

[cowedbywisdom]

Amazing sense of melody.

[easyshred21]

i want that guitar!that shit is bad ass!

[Mightygav2]

nice man very relaxing has a very nice feel to it (Y):P

[paulyboy911]

almost as much soul as david gilmoure

[111chazz]

Na, Love David and love Jan. Please don't compare, just enjoy and feel good that you have excellent taste in music. Peace my friend.

[paulyboy911]

it was mostly a compliment. david gilmoure is one of the most soulful guitar players i've ever heard. i was just saying that this guy is right up there with him

Yes I know you were my friend and I too think Dave i
