www.guitarmesse... - Pierre Bensusan performs his masterpiece "The Alchemist" for GuitarMessenger.com. Log on today to check out an exclusive interview and masterclass lesson with Pierre.
Dude, that was SO fucking complex. His chord progressions evolved with such intricacy that he literally never wasted a chance to keep progressing.,. Or conversely, he never got stuck in a spot .
I'm 10 years late but here, he has a technique unique to his style with finger placements. Hard stretches too! I use to practice it by adding them whenever I was jamming or messing around on the guitar. They make sense now and most (must emphasise on the word most!) of Pierre's pieces are easy to flow through now!
Wow... I am so glad I found your music... Absolutely amazing player... I have spent the past few years really knuckling down on finger style... This excites me... Thanks
His voicing on the guitar has a very beautiful "French" inflection to it. A few years ago I heard an NPR piece on how classical music from different regions of the world is influenced by the verbal inflection of the local language. I think it is true here as well.
... but wait , that's not all you get !! Check out Antoine Dufour ( I recommend starting with " Ashes in the Sea", Michael Hedges ( try " ragamuffin" ) , Andy McKee ( definitely " drifting" ). All brilliant players who write some truly beautiful music.
Yes. In an interview with Justin Guitar, Pierre says that is where the main theme comes from! He says he listened to Bob Dylan a lot when he was younger and was 'surprised when he came knocking at his door' in this way. In the interview he demos how the theme is developed fromTTTAAC.
Merci Pierre pour ta quiétude et tes harmonies !!! On se connait depuis les Trinitaires à Metz, à Thionville etc vers 1990 !!! Passe le bonjour à Didier Malherbe !!! Je t'aime !!! Biz !!! Phil de Radio Beffroi de Thionville, qui a fermé en 97 !!! galtouze@orange.fr
Sungha mainly got popular because he played relatively difficult pieces at a young age and does arrangements of popular songs, in terms of pure skill he's good but not "the best"
Isaiah Wijaya For he lacks a certain musicality. I lately stumbled upon his Autumn Leaves. I found if very mechanically played and too repetitive. This said... I can’t play what he plays.
