Hi there!
It's been 5 months since my last video (it's been a pretty busy summer at work).
This is my arrangement of the traditional English ballad "Scarborough fair" for 21 string harp guitar.
This instrument was custom built for me by Italian luthier Mauro Marchesini, it's fun to play but very challenging, especially for the right hand but sounds like an orchestra!
The tuning I chose for this tune is (low to high):
D F G A B C D - D A D G A E - D E F G A B C D with
a capo on the 5th fret.
Recorded at home and mixed and mastered by Jordi Gil at Sputnik Studios.
Please press the HD button for a better audio and video quality (best with headphones for a stereo experience).
This song is dedicated to José María Viejo and his son Darío.
Enjoy and feel free to share!
Javier

Without a doubt, this is the most beautifull rendition of Scarborough Fair I have heard in all of my 82 years!

I’ve never been there. Actually I studied Tudor history, so don’t jump on my joke. Henry VIII did not write Greensleeves. And if you must know, having intercourse without clothes on was illegal. But, I wouldn’t be here if that law hadn’t been broken many times.

I suffer with chronic pain, more specificaly at night - especially when I am trying to fall asleep. Luckily for me this music video came up by RU-vid recommendation two weeks ago. I play it nightly now through a pair of quality headphones and can actually forget my pain, begin to totally relax and sometime fall asleep. Thank you Javier Rubio Carballo for sharing your wonderful gift.

I also listen to his stuff at night. (Well the day too). It helps to calm down my mind it’s always going million miles a minute and this really does helps distract me from the pain. I’m so happy it helped other people too! It really is incredible.😊

@ironwolfstudios2857 2 года назад

Is anyone else amazed by the sheer amount of hand-eye coordination this man is showing off here. I mean he's literally playing three different and differently tuned instruments all in one body. and he has to keep track of all of them AND he's finger picking with his entire right hand. This is mental... This arrangement is gorgeous, and it took me until halfway through to realize that there was a third set of tiny strings below the soundhole. Amazing.

@bornwithbsguards Год назад

I don't see a third set. But the strings I do see and hear are spectacular sounding. This guy is amazing playing this

@ironwolfstudios2857 Год назад

@@bornwithbsguards If you look carefully under the center strings, right under the guitar's soundhole you can see the tiny strings he used for the ridiculous high notes. He's mostly playing it with his pinky and ring fingers. This thing's construction is insane.

@oscarmedina1303 Год назад

@@bornwithbsguards Look along the curve and you'll see the posts that hold the strings. They are used to play the really high notes.

@Xaforn Год назад

That is why playing music causes the brain to literally light up like a star. It’s the only thing that turns on all aspects of the mind at once and gives you a great boost at the same time. It’s why after a performance it’s almost hard to come off the high.

Not hand eye coordination except for when you start learning it. Since it becomes muscle memory eventually.

@milanpetkovic3074 3 года назад

I think the secret is that this virtuoso uses his superior technique to emphasize the beauty of the melody, unlike many other virtuosos, even bigger than him, who are able to ruin the melody, to emphasize their technical superiority through as many notes played in unit of time.

@tinkmarshino 3 года назад

@@milanpetkovic3074 I see what your saying.. they want to show there ability to play complicated cords, notes and other combinations to the determent of the music. I agree..

@cwavt8849 Год назад

I have always held that a great performance isn't one that has the crowd cheering even before then, that has them surging to their feet immediately at the end of the performance with wild abandoned applause. A truly great performance is one that leaves the audience in totally shocked silence, unable to know quite how to respond to the magnitude of what they had just been transformed to witness. At the end of this rendition of Scarborough Fair, I sat in silence. Bravo.

When I listen to this song I hear music from all four seasons of the year- tender spring flowers unfolding, summer sunlight sweeping across a meadow, the wind in the cattails and dry oak leaves in fall, and snowflakes swirling in winter. I just want his music to become the background music of my life.
