Something that always interested me is that Mozart claimed that he could hear only 3 pieces of a genre he would be able to write a piece for it and it still sound good and for the most part he was able to back up the claim… this is why when time machines are invented I’m going back to the mid 1700s with a boom box and some punk rock CDs
No matter how many times I watch this, I never still cease to marvel at it. I think that Nicolo Paganini was a musical masochist, as well as a genius...and this piece is not only masterfully written, but marvelously played. Bravo...
TheWordprophet I do sometimes wish I could travel back in time to witness the first ever playing of a piece like this and how everyone would marvel at someone so amazing as to have written that.
Demian Alcazar It is said that nobody wont even come close to playing his songs they way he did. Its a piece of legend of course but still , it makes you wonder how the real Paganini would sing this. I`ve read a book about his life and its a story there about how he played in a public market for money and he gathered so many people that the entire market was flooded.
You guys are part of the reason that people think classical musicians are snotty 🙄 please stop giving us a bad name, and start realise that art comes in many forms. I actually thought this was brilliant!
I would love to see an electric orchestra. An orchestra that has electric guitars, cellos, violins and basses, and an electric grand piano. Also joined by a choir that can growl and shriek as well as sing clean.
It sounds like He is tremolo picking the last half of the fifth variation. He doubled the note value from four eighth notes to eight sixteenth notes in each measure. In the original violin score you would play two eighth notes and four sixteenth note's which is played in octaves.
Dr. Viossy....PLEASE upload more of our stunning videos. Your playing has become my morning, day and evening fix. Your covers are so clean, so intense and by far the best ones out there. WE WANT MORE!!!
@@Marcel-rq8jt agreed. I was just making a joke. As a metal head, I hate it when metalheads say that metal is modern day classical music just because they have complicated riffs sometimes.
@Alexander Du *Heavy Metal* is referred to as modern day Classical music not because it has complex riffs, but complexity in their compositions. The varied movements, meter/tempo/key changes, dynamics, sequences, elaborated melodies. Oftentimes non repetitive bridges & long instrumental sections. Solos. The synergy between instruments. Homophonic & polyphonic textures. Operatic vocals. All these similar characteristics is where the comparison is drawn. There is just far more going on musically compared with other genres. (Except Modern Day Classical Music itself of course. & maybe Jazz.) I would say that Steve Harris is the greatest composer of the last two centuries, if not all time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RVQO3GHWlbI.html Heavy Metal isn’t complex riffs. It is long, complex compositions.
I have played guitar finger style for 23 years so far. I find using a plectrum difficult. I use my index finger to flat pick instead, as I find this more fun & accessible. Not all skills are transferrable which ever way it goes. All techniques need practice to develop skill. I guess a finely tuned tremolo could simulate flat picking, but sacrifices a richer tone on steel strings from using a plec. Any musician would find it jarring at first, using different conventions & scales to what they are accustomed to. I think much of the appeal of classical music is that it came predominantly from very well versed musicians who had spent a lifetime mastering their compositions, forming deep understandings of the science behind musical expression & application. - In modern times we have the benefit of these sciences being well established & learnable much faster. I feel that Heavy Metal is one of the closest reflections of the musicality seen in previous eras.
DJCTheChamp not necessarily metal because i meant all shreders like look at mattial LA eklundh he is a shredder and he is doing jazz shreding not all shreders are metal
This one really caught my attention. What an excellent rendition of this piece by one of my favorite guitarists. After hearing this, I subscribed. Thank you, Dr. Viossy.
I was amazed at the natural and wonderful arrangement and playing! Classical music has a high profile image for us, but the spirit of enjoying music should not have changed in hundreds of years. I guess arranging music in a modern way is one of the ways to enjoy classical music. Even Paganini composed music for guitar, and if he had been born in an era with electric guitars, he must have composed heavy metal music.
todos los que dicen que el metal es basura y no se compara a la musica tienen algo de razon pero el metal es lo mas parecido que nos queda :'v (aguante power metal xD)
Think I'll go and make a flute transcription now... 😂 Seriously, great playing, man! And from one long haired chick, I do love your hair! Hope you post more videos soon.
beautiful. thats by far the cleanest version i've heard on an electric. i've been working on this for about 2 weeks so far and this truly is an inspiration. thank you for posting :)
The performance of playing electric guitar is excellent. It brings a fresh taste to me. The sound was introduced by The Ventures fifty years ago so it is familiar with me moreover Capriccio is a nice piece. I listen to this many times💐
Wow! that was freakin wicked man. Your fingers look flow so smoothly through the song. Your double tapping sounded so clean and good. 5stars. Good player.
I had the pleasure to witness three live concerts of Doc Viossy really close to the stage, he was playing a universe at the time. Ineccepibile sensibilità musicale. As you see him in videos as he is in real life. After the concert I briefly thanked him and Michele Luppi for the music they always make. Dr is a wonderful human being and musician. A little story of mine I keep in the highlights of my soul ❤
I love Paganini in the original. It's already hard rock as it is. What you're doing here is like adding a shot of espresso on already good coffee. Totally fine and makes me awake even more! I really appreciate what you're doing, Professor! :)
SUBLIME, there is nothing and nobody like Niccolo Paganini Bocciardo, but your interpretation is masterful, without a doubt the Italian maestro would be more than proud that his music arrived until today and interpreted so wonderfully, thanks for these magic minutes
Niccolò Paganini Bocciardo I think that this is the most similar way to play this like you do with violin! No one captures the spirit of this wonderful piece except you (the composer) and Dr.Viossy, in my opinion.
If think Paganini would be proud! Were he a man alive in these times I think perhaps he would have been a guitar virtuoso whom would be melting faces & breaking hearts. He was a rockstar of his times.
wow the technical skill to do that is incredible. furthermore out of all the rock versions of this music i have heard this is by far the best. you haven't lost the soul of the music while adapting which is the most important thing.
Man, I tried to play this concert on the guitar for months, but some parts require so much finger opening I actually doubted it would be possible. And I was right. Even this fantastic guitar player had to rearrange the song because it was impossible to play 3 octaves at the same time (Paganini could, with his giant hands).
einfach nur der wahnsinn... ich fand ja schon immer, mann sollte die alten "HIT´s" aus den letzten jahrhunderten mal aufmöbeln... er hat es echt geschafft!!!
This great adjustment Paganini, It like me classical music (I'm player on piano and keyboard). But this is great adjustment and great guitarist, thanks for this super playing..
Please check out my version of Paganini's 24th Caprice and tell me what you think! Paganini's Caprice No. 24 performed on electric guitar by Classicals Rocked
So many ignorant comments. 1) this is an adaptation, not a note for note representation 2) the guitar is an Ibanez universe UV777bk 3) the key of this peice is A Minor, its relative fifth is C Major 4) This is an electric guitar, not a violin. Don't expect the same presentation or sound.
***** I think a good musician should be technically really good and has to put his soul into his work. If it's covered or not shouldn't matter. Yes, to create your own work is absolutely great and I am not underestimating it. But being able to play your instrument prefectly and with passion has nothing to do with composing. And by the way…I'm not even talking about this guy in the video in particular. Never heard of the dude (sorry). I'm talking on behalf of every…let's say violinist or whatever, playing (classical) music, not composed by them yet it brings you to tears.
Flavia Capello That is true but in classical music there is a bigger distinction between composers and musicians who play their music. Of course, every musician will put their "soul" into it and experience that music differently but in rock, metal, hard rock etc. bands usually make their own music and guitarists make their own solos. That is usually how we define good from bad bands and guitarists (at least I do). For example, Eric Clapton is good guitarist, same as Petrucci even though Petrucci is technically better than Clapton.
Damn. This is so sick. Your 'Moonlight Sonata' video is literally my favorite video on RU-vid to date, it's seriously impressive, but this one is badass as well. You're a MACHINE, dude! I hope to see more of this in the future! Rock on, brother! \m/
Nice but there's variations where you need to tap and you just play 1 octave instead, also all the intervals in the last variations are played with hybrid picking, are quite hard and you just play 2 note chords instead, you also skipped the finale, and on top of that the hardest part of this piece ifsthe tempo and softness/hardness with fretting, the arpeggio parts for the first past you're play the first 3-4 notes fast and is descends slower, then the second part ascends fast first 4 notes then slows to to the last note. Also there's way too much distortion, you're bleeding in notes etc, I still love the video but your miles giving this justice on the guitar and flat out just taking shortcuts on sections that require hybrid picking. Oh and there's zero vibrato, this piece is difficult not just in technique but the intonation, just blurting out the notes anyone can do. Also you simplifying some of the arpeggios and not taking them to 4 Octaves.
P Holmes Listen fuckstick I was very polite in my first post, I even said it was nice playing. I did enjoy the video, why imply I didn't? Are you a mind reader now?I gave constructive criticism because I know this piece well and I played this on nylon as my entry piece to a music school. SO STFU cry baby, real musicians welcome civil discussion on their playing. You know most musicians don't upload on youtube? There are people beyond your dreams who don't need e-status. You obviously don't know sh*t, sit the fuck down princess.
The Piece was designed to be played on the Violin, and even doing it on the Violin requires skill that very few people posess. This piece is merely adapted to be played on the Guitar. The whole song is ridiculously long and hard, even for a violin. I could understand why the song was shortened and simplified for the guitar.
Being a practitioner of both instruments I can tell you that would not really be possible. This is a very good rendition of a neo-classical electric guitar version of the song. If you want what is imo a closer feel to the original song try the Jason Becker version. As far as electric guitar those, this is very good.
