For a second, if you close your eyes, you almost forget it's a guitar and not a piano - brilliant interpretation, thank you!

Bach is always nice, but what stands out for me is the sound that guitar produces! It somehow has the perfect balance of warmth and brightness that both cedar and spruce have. I wish I could play it.

I changed a few of the fingerings from the Parkening version to avoid stretches and mantain the legato flow of the arpeggios. Thank you for your comments!

@Michael-n2p5w Год назад

I actually first heard this played on electric bass. I started to learn it on bass and got sidetracked to learning it on piano. Only then did I fall in love with the organic inevitability of the chord progressions. The soulfulness of this rendition together with the crystaline clarity of the guitar combine to produce a heartachingly beautiful experience.

@danielmassey3732 4 месяца назад

Keith your playing here and the sound of the guitar are just incredible. It's inspired me to learn the piece myself, but your playing seems to differ from the versions of the Parkening arrangement I could find online. Where did you get the sheet music for this please?

@keithrodriguez8564 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the high praise and yes, the guitar is a true gem of an instrument. I used the Parkening arrangement to learn the piece, but over the years I have made my own fingerings which for me help to keep the legato feel, as well as avoid some very uncomfortable extensions. Unfortunately they aren't even notated. Hopefully the video images will help you if you choose to use any of my fingerings.

@stevelaferney3579 6 месяцев назад

Am I the only person not layup to their tv screen, how I listen and watch you tube, and expect to see a piano accompaniment to the guitar and look for it and not see a piano? This guitar sounds too much like a piano. A guitar with piano overtones, too much piano for me, otherwise I enjoyed it. But wow. Even listening more than once and watching it. Just plain crazy. Thanks for the piece anyway Keith. Strange, though.

@keithrodriguez8564 5 месяцев назад

It's true that the instrument has many rich overtones, but that ends up being a question of preference. For me it benefits certain repertoire, as long as there is a clear separation of the voices(which I believe this instrument has). The guitar had a ton of body resonance, typical of the 90 year old Spanish guitars I have played (Simplicio, Garcia). Again, a question of taste. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

@keithrodriguez8564 2 года назад

@@kenwilson54 sorry! I added the link from my phone and it didn’t go through. In any case, it is the Parkening Plays Bach from Hal Leonard. Some of the fingerings are changed in my version, but mostly they’re the same. I can relate very well to having an operation, and what it means to get back to the instrument afterwards. I am so glad to hear how this interpretation has inspired you. Hopefully you will find the strength and joy to play. All the best!

@tonygonzales948 Месяц назад

You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. This piece is 10 times harder to play in drop D than standard tuning.

@tonygonzales948 Месяц назад

Please explain how playing with the E tuned to D is what you call “cheating”? Alternate tunings such as drop D allow you to play music and chord voicings that otherwise are not physically possible to play using standard tuning, and vice versa.

@gw2031 9 месяцев назад

You have a good ear mate ,,pianos don't suffer from the mathematical discrepancies of a standard guitar neck ,,there a few top flight luthiers who make what's called a compensated nut where the point at which the string leaves is cut & filed so every string hits the exact mid point on a digital tuner at any fret anywhere on the neck.some of the strings on this guitar were definitely floating flat/ sharp depending on what frets were played ,not the guys fault he played it beautifully!

@jamessmyth Год назад

Nylon sounds hollow and soulless… can you play it with heavier bronze strings? I can see in the comments that we are supposed to like the sound of nylon, but it sounds hollow to me.

@ManWithoutThePants Год назад

I don't mean to sound offensive and everyone has preferences, but I think in general you are probably in the minority thinking nylon guitars sounding hollow and soulless. Classical guitarists play practically always nylon strings and I personally think any steel string guitar would sound too bright especially the high strings. I have and like both kind of guitars, but for different purposes.

@jamessmyth Год назад

@@ManWithoutThePants you don’t sound offensive, because it’s not true. Because of how much harder it is to get the good sound, I think people are lazy and settle for nylon. I noticed the head of Juilliard has joint problems from playing nylon, and that just tells you everything. Moreover, nylon strings are much easier to synthesize than other various metallic compounds.

@ManWithoutThePants Год назад

@@jamessmyth Lots of players have all kinds of hand issues if they play a lot even with proper technique and I don't see how nylon string guitar has anything to do with it. But I say play on which kind of guitar you like the best for the song. I play nylon, steel string acoustic or electric whatever fits what I'm playing. Let everyone play what they like.

@jamessmyth Год назад

@@ManWithoutThePants it’s about being serious enough to play real strings. Back in the 90s Roland came out with a terrific nylon string guitar sound, and that really takes away from the specialism of guitar itself. I’m still waiting for the person who tells me to play nylon instead of a metal compound. The truth is that 99% of guitar players never advance beyond intermediate level, so nylon is a crutch for the lazy. Are you part of the 1%? Do the people around you actually prefer the sound of nylon? I would like to know what color the sky is where you live if that’s true.

@ManWithoutThePants Год назад

@@jamessmyth Classical guitars have rounder smoother sound which lots of people prefer. I don't think guitar playing as way to prove your technical abilities, but as a way to express yourself. That is true probably that many beginners start with nylon strings, because they are easier for fingers though. I had already bunch of guitars until I bought my first nylon string and I bought it for the different sound it produces. But I think there is no point to continue this conversation since it seems that it's not going to go anywhere. Happy playing anyways. :)
