Sirtaki-Rock High tuned fingerstyle bouzouki Kertsopoulos

Y.Kertsopoulos interprets Sirtaki-Rock on a 4-double course bouzouki tuned higher with classical-flamenco fingerstyle and use of rasgueados.The bouzouki is mainly played with a pick and very rarely using fingerstyle.It enjoys among other instruments a leading role in Greek folklore music.In the rebetiko, Tsitsanis, Vamvakaris, Papaioannou, Zabetas are only a few of the leading composers who wrote for it and also played it with great skill.Also Theodorakis, Hadjidakis, Hadjinassios, Spanos, Mamangakis, Leontis, Loizos, Nikolopoulos, Hiotis, Polykandriotis, Tokas, Glezos, Markopoulos are only a few of the leading greek composers who also progressed and opened the capability horizons of the instrument in many respects.There are two main perspective views in the relation instrument-performer.The inlook perspective view which one sees the stature of the instrument, meaning what the instrument is.The outlook perspective view sees what the instrument can be or eventually become in the future.This fingerstyle performance on high tuned strings is an outlook perspective view of what the instrument can be or become, simply because it has a beautiful sound and many possibilities to express a vast range of musical ideas.
