Jacek Piotrowicz, 19, from Krakow, Poland, plays amplified classic guitar at rue des Abbesses, 24 (24 Abbesses street), Monmartre, Paris. August 24th, 2010. HE IS MALE, meaning NOT A GIRL, please stop speculations on that.
What an amazing talent....played from the heart and soul! I am 73 and have had numerous Martin guitars, but just never could get the strings to play what my heart said.........Jacek, you are a true artist...don't ever stop doing what God has gifted you with! Ken Skeen
It´s the natural outcome of hours and hours of hard study and talent focused on his main passion: the guitar. God bless and thanks for sharing. Regards from Mexico City.
I have been to Europe a few times and street artists are over the place. I loved it. Of course some people are better then others. A friend and myself were in Germany just sort of walking around and enjoying the day. Even though it was cold and raining there was one guy out there playing some musical pipe. Since he was the only out there playing you could easily hear him. The only problem was that he was pretty bad and the fact he could only play about 10 notes did not help much either. That was over 10 years ago and I can still hear this guy playing in my head.
Great to see a guitarist relaxed and strumming away with his own style and pace. This to me is a real guitarist he obviously loves the guitar and the sounds he makes no pretence just the subtle changes in textures and rythms flowing out in the streets. We need more young musicians of all standards. Well done lad, cheers fae the Scottish Highlands.
I saw Jacek in Krakow a couple of times in June 2015. S.i.m.p.l.y. wonderful.... We bought his CD which is also fantastic. I'm so stoked to find a couple videos on RU-vid.
It's amazing! :). A greeting from Viet Nam. I have heard some songs that played by guitar in Classic like this before. And now, when i listen them again, I really miss my childhood... When I came home from school, I turn on the Cassette and listen the music program that I like best, an instrument of song played by classic guitar. I love it so much... I don't know why I like listening guitar like this. :). Now, I have played guitar for 2 years, and I know I love it. Every time I'm sad, I'm happy, I have some problems,... I play guitar, then I feel better than... :). Guitar became a part of my life.!
Jack Homie There was once a social experiment conducted in a subway... I can't remember who it was but he was a talented and highly paid musician - a violinist... he had a 3 million dollar Stradivarius... people would pay hundreds of dollars to watch him play in concert... anyway he played his heart out in the subway as an experiment and earnt no money and only a small child was interested.... Talent itself seems only to be appreciated when someone who knows how to think for themselves stops, and enjoys it... then they tell a sheep and the sheep follows, most people are sheep who have to be told what is good and what is not :-( There has been a lot of stories of musicians who couldn't get a gig until they asked for a ridiculous price to play which was a way for the sheep to know they must be good!
DeansVideoClips You know, you're comment is true & makes much sense, especially to me! What you say, doesn't just apply to street musicians, but to people from all walks of life. I guess, it's similar to making a really brave comment, that nobody else would dare to make. Some will gravitate toward the person who made the comment, others won't & that's ok. Not everybody has open, nor clear vision & no two people think the same way, even when there is reason to.
Kitty H I'm glad you understand where I am coming from, and yes all walks of life. The sad thing is that if people were able to think for themselves instead of following the leader then the world - our world - would be a beautiful place to live because all the trickery that is going on around us would be recognised and people would do something collectively to stop it... but instead they listen to all the lies they are being fed by the celebrities and self appointed leaders, etc... so people like you and I are left to make the best of a difficult world... find and listen to beautiful music, escape to far away places, appreciate good food, be wise with our decisions... get through as best we can being as human as we can...
There is so much talent in this world that never rises to the so-called stardom and yet many of these so-called stars can't hold a candle to these people.
Wow. Now THAT's what I call talent! Just came here from some Tom Ward vids with his characteristic lack of polish. How ironic to next see a Polish player with a seriously polished sound. While they both play amplified classical, the difference in quality is immediately apparent. He's comfortable at both ends of the string and sits there calmly, crafting his sound, in total control. He's just rolling through some basic progressions, but at every point, he knows where he is and where he's going.
This guy really sticks in the mind. He is probably the best street performer I have ever heard. I'd actually prefer this guy over Estas Tonne, who I consider to be very, very talented. He has such immacculate control over tone, melody and style. Just incredible.
eeeeeeven if u dont like the style.....or maybe the piece......how can you dislike this video......????? ssssssick world we live in you guys.....sick world.....
the video itself can easily be disliked because of technical issues like one-cut filming, shaky picture, cheap camera, etc. Anyway, I don't pay attention to dislikes, because in this case they hardly influence anything. Some of them may be by mistake as well.. Touchscreens, laggy browsers, dirty mice... 20 pixels to the right and here it is dislike instead of like.
если бы можно было поставить 10 лайков, я бы поставила! это видео смотрю не менее 2-х раз в году и не перестаю восхищаться!! он уже на сцене, и,дай БОГ, что бы все сложилось...
I lived a 100m away from here and in several places in Paris for about 20 years, i tell you how he had to chose where he sits, far away from residents; once i spoke with a guy playing beautiful cello in the streets, Bach BWV1007 etc. in the day time, but local residents where calling the cops on him, lol. Trucks and cars are OK to destroy the soundscape though.
I once played a gig where some guy was expecting Howard Roberts' style. He stalked out the door mumbling '...you sound like Tony Mottola!' with a scowl...Too bad he was disappointed. We all play differently. This fellow on the guitar is one great player - doesn't matter if he doesn't play what folks expect - he is really good! KUDOs young man! Follow your 'voice'.
I've never seen as much in the way of correction. It's incredible that a man of mere earthly ambition can sing beyond such colour ways. My heart is blossomed beyond sanity. Thank you for it all. I shall visit this place from where the beauty spumes and take my fill of accreditation.
estas tonne ;) beautifull, amazing !!!!je ne comprend pas pourquoi personne ne se rue autour pour pour apprécier ce moment ......franchement ca me fait mal au cœur, des moments,des concert comme ca je rêve d'en vivre

Hi everyone ! I live at Montmartre and he's really amazing ! I've my habits to take a café in the bar near him and it's a real testimony of my part : come and see him ! You will see Paris and an incredible guitar player.
people just pass you by not knowing the talent they have just passed! BRAVO MY FRIEND! If all the street musicians in the world where to get together!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful and an amazing talent. It may have been years ago but this music loses none of its beauty. Such a shame that we live in such ugly insecure times with liars and charlatans in charge. We deserve far better as this music clearly demonstrates.
This guy is amazing, especially since he is clearly not trained classically. Takes a lot of skill and patience to learn this type of music, especially if it's not your foundation.
Estas Tonne is no 'Manitas de Plata' for sure; he did it without the aid of electronics and he was basically the inventor of fusing various classical styles and flamenco, which people like estas tonne now attempt to perform today.
Too many bad things said. HE is a wonderful guitarist to me, I love and appreciate hearing this beautiful video clip made on street on windy day.. Bless him and film maker....nothing like guitar, and Paris!
why don't you....how do you.. .just do this or that... this is a multi talented man with a great talent shut up and listen great great grate music so please dig deep into your pockets and support this young man.....good on you from GB
