  • Wonderful! Too bad we can't see his guitar. Is that a capo on the first fret? If so, why?

  • @tdeecy Yes, he plays with capo. It make guitar sound more "even" (no open strings). So, it sounds a bit more like harpsicord than :)

  • Excellent interpretation. I like his arrangement, and some interesting ornaments in there. His big hands/fingers remind me of Segovia's.

  • This guy has small hands btw and plays on a standard guitar. But he developed an incredible stretch to play this kind of music. :)

  • I think that was played extremely well and beautiful! Absolutely perfect in my ears. THanks, 5 stars + subscribed ;-)

  • For me he plays perfect as well :)

  • I think the Allegro would sound nicer a shade slower. For me it was too fast.

    But the fugue was simply outstanding - undoubtedly the best interpretation I have ever heard.

  • Beautiful and excellent as always!

  • Capo at 1st fret is because the work was originally written in Eb. So with a D on 6string and a capo at 1st fret he makes this tone happen, of course he plays it 1 fret lower (towards the bridge) for example if the score writes a D, he plays it on second string fourth fret

  • This is awesome!

    Is there any way I can find tabs of this arrangement?

  • why he played the allegro faster and faster and faster ???

  • why he play the allegro faster and faster and faster ???

  • Wonderful natural style and technique , although I still prefer Bream's version for feeling and tone.

  • @tdeecy the original key is Eb , normally you play in D major on the guitar. that's why he use the capo.

  • @solestring He has tuned the guitar to drop d, so by putting a capo on the ifrst fret you get an Eb tuning, the original key of the PFA.

  • @tdeecy I also use to play it with capo because of the tuning: this piece is originally in Eb and with drop D tuning and capo on 1st fret it will sound in E flat. Although the baroque tuning was a bit low anyway..

  • And it was originally written in Eb major.

    I think thats the reason :)
