*Chant de Nuit * composer: Pierre Bensusan

Yup..yet another Bensusan. Can't help it. Maybe I need therapy...? Probably, lol (It was my fervent dream to attend Bensusan's seminar this summer, but crisis here in Spain has got the better of most of working people here. I'm not an exception.) I still feel tremendously sad - and affected- when I think about it..... because I'm sure that that seminar would have helped me to cut that umbilical chord ...) oh well... ;-(

I posted a previous version of me playing this on my facebook page a while ago, and I was convinced I completely fluked that version, BUT, strangely enough it got tremendously "popular" (as far as a fingerstyle tune can get "popular", of course -lets nuance this here ;-D but like my good friend François says: " Even good music sounds GREAT on a beach radio...!""
In any case, I taught I would do a new version for you here on youtube: and that is: only because I like you !!! ;-D

I play this composition frequently in the evening on my balcony, here at southern Spain, and when I do-watching African coastline, at times a beautiful African cloud fly's by... and when I spot a cloud beautiful enough to represent the DADGAD Égrégore, I play this tune just a touch louder.....as if I posted a postcard directed to Bensusan himself; a postcard to thank him from the bottom of my heart, for filling my life with utter joy and happiness...

With all my Love,
Pascal

Amazing performance pascal

As always.

I want to take a stab at this song but i keep breaking my strings tuning

What gauge do you use sir?

Greetings john

@Sign213 Many thanks, well the guitar is tuned down to DADGAD an I use 0.13 strings up to 0.58. When playing DADGAD it is better to use thicker gouge as it sets more tension. I hope this helps. Strings should never break (or rarely!) maybe you use bad strings altogether? regards,Pascal.

Allez Pascal, avoue que tu as joué ce morceau en PLAYBACK ...

Il suffit de regarder ta main droite pour le comprendre .

Qu'autant de monde se soit fait avoir est surprenant !

Commentaire d'un vieil ami de Pierre Bensusan ( depuis 1985 )

@Santanananas C'est certainement le plus beau et singulier commentaire que l'ont m'a jamais fait; de tout coeur: MERCI!

[canonsfield41]

fantastic awesome beautful  captivating exquisite magnificent

[Qpidon]

@canonsfield41 That is one nice sequence of adjectives here! :-D

Many thanks, certainly appreciated..!

Two versions of Bensusan playing this here on youtube. Each one a little Gem, make sure to check them out!

that was, absolutely, an amazing piece of playin.the song and its composer are outrageously good and that cover has nailed the magic of pierre. alot of people can cover a song but few iv heard have the ability to find the magic of the player and composer and mingle it. so close in fact if i only heard this in mp3 i would put a strong argument on it being pierre himself! stunning mate

[malageb1]

wow,what a peaceful piece,I love it.

[Paddie5843]

Amazing piece, played so well. I would love to learn it ! Any idea how i could come by the tab/music for this?

[lisageeandthe422]

You are an amazing guitarist. Very impressed! Greetings from Chicago, Lisa Gee

[Sign213]

@Qpidon Thanks for the reply , it´s an honour.

I use 0.10 strings , i think im going to switch to 0,12 .

Its a lot harder for me to play with thicker gauge strings since

i havent been playing for too long but im a sucker for alternate tunings

and guitar players such as pierre micheal hedges , and ackerman.

Thanks for the suggestion , if you dont mind my asking how long

have you been playing to achieve this perfect execucion of pirre´s tunes?
