You realize Parkening is so good he only needs 2 fingers and a thumb to waste 99.5% of the guitarists here (me included !)....
What is more remarkable is his left-hand *strength*. Barre chords, solid plants, zero squeaks... yep, his left hand was his late night girlfriend for sure...
-
@evhsrvfe It shows the arranger at the begining of the video Arr. Marshall. Its in one of Parkenings song books if you google it.

this song is on a my chemical romance album.
-
@julianwardguitar he studied under segovia.
who had right hand problems which made him play the way he did.
-
@julianwardguitar yo straight up. In my 15 years of playing I've never seen a right hand technique like that.
-
im so jealous. my mom was his pupil and was able to meet all kinds of awesome people through him. he rocks!
-
@julianwardguitar Maybe he figures the last two fingers slow him down. LOL It is quite a unique technique.
-
Could anyone tell me who made this arrangement? Is absolutely beautiful it has so much color. Thank you
-
great rendition, no doubt, but i think he made an error on the last Em (normally an E major) at the end of section B before going back to section A. Parkening is still the best regardless!
-
I have it on best authority that John Williams was backstage that night and bet Parkening $100 that he couldn't play "Romance" without the use of his "a" finger...Parkening won the bet.



great musicianship and beautiful sound.
classical guitar playing at its best.

What an extra-ordinary arrangement. Nice. But what a bizarre right hand techique..
