One of the things to make music making sound smooth is to avoid too much stres en tension in hands and other parts of your body. Believe it or not, it starts with your shoulders. Don't hurry to get a piece at the proper speed. It will occur naturally after playing a piece for a longer time.

Same thing counts for me. That's where it all started for me regarding more classical oriented music!

Thank you for your compliment but it is not great talent. Rehearsing in the right way is one thing. Listening to a variety of players is another one and I think having played for years in a professional band educated me as well. Getting older helps and brings rest and patience in your life.

Thank you, Lucy (I presume?)

Well Nena, That's a big compliment! Thanks a lot!

Om te beginnen vind ik het zelf leuk ermee bezig te zijn maar daarnaast is het mooi om te zien dat je zoveel anderen van interessant informatie kan voorzien naast natuurlijk een stukje leuke muziek. Guillaume vd K?

@@2011Noud Ik heb je even berichtje gestuurd, maar die schijnt niet aan te komen (krijg ik een melding van).

For me the same. One of the first singles I bought!

It doesn't have to do anything with age. I still posess a Salvador Ibanez e Hijos guitar more modest than this one but better in sound. And that is one from after 1915. The history around these instruments is what is making them wanted. I owe a Vicente Arias from 1899 that is a real find so to say. In the premier league! Same with a 1917 Julian Gomez Ramirez that has outstanding sound qualities as well. The latter I still have to present here on UA-cam.

@@2011Noud Looking forward to listening to your V Arias 1899. I hope you strung it with gut strings as they did in the those years. thanks.

@@montyl To be honest, no I didn't restrung the Vicente Arias but it is wise for everyone owing an older instrument not to use high tension strings. B.t.w. I already placed some older video's with my V. Arias guitar here.

Thank you, John!

Sometimes a lot of comments are without any criticism. For some people maybe nice to hear and read but I like an objective approach. And this one is from the negative side. When something says it is "not bad" it means for me there is a lot still to desire for ?

@@2011Noud I'm sorry if your ego got hurt by my average, but not mean opinion. I can give you my opinionated criticism though if you like? Problem is, even though it's not bad, you're ego still wants and expects to feel as though you wrote this and I've never heard 20 or more recitals of a piece played exactly the way it was written by 20 different people, all trying to sound exactly the same. You can either play it fluently or practice to improve with experience to sound the same as everybody else in your class. Personally I prefere to be out of that training box of discipline clones. Try it sometime. It's really fun and helps with creativity and your mood will change for the better too. Play it Tommy's way or throw some of your own bits in. Cut your nails live a little, become a rebel Get a little Lucy and rock it out on a Gibo Page style? Creative shitzngigz. Curious... Would you play Cavatina how it was originally written by Stan or play it the only way it's played good and made sense? The Master Williams corrected way.

@@wallywalpamur4960 I think to understand what you mean. When I want to wander around in a musical sentence I rather improvise than hold on to notes that indeed everybody is able to play. As for classical pieces: To the majority of the audience they will be played similar. It is often about small pauses played. The"in between moments" that often can make it more magical. These differences can be so slight.... Apart from all that I' consider myself just a guitar player who worked hard to reach a certain level. No more than that. But there is one thing that likely sets me apart from a lot of "copyists" so to say: As I played for more than 40 years in a band keeping and holding a good tempo is something a player should go for. No matter what genre of music. That's the fundament of playing and making music to me. I will probably (most likely) die but that rhythm clock keeps ticking, even then!

@@2011Noud All good, I get it. And Cavatina? Have you ever noticed in just that one part where that 1 bass note is missing and does not sound right in not only the original how it was written but a majority of players repeat as if it's sounds right because that's how he wrote it..and then when John Williams plays it, it's fixed and so is some anxiety? lol. There might be Julian Bream version which is played better like John Williams version perhaps?

@@wallywalpamur4960 Having a good idea in harmonics is another quality a guitar player can have but not necessarily. I myself am very keen on harmonics (coming from my long career as an electrical guitar player in a band) So sometimes even in some classical compositions I might change some, or most of the time, a single note because "it doesn't make sense" You should hear the criticisms fellow classical guitar players then have...

Thank you Jennifer!

It was well worth it to add a third piece to it. A Japanese version is also on UA-cam. Certainly well played but that part is missing (from 1:58 onwards) to my opinion. And I even added in a final stage some extra bars (not presented here yet...)

@@2011Noud yes. DM plays the basic arrangement ie without melody and ofc with his touch it stands alone. I do like how you have stayed true to the original AND insert the melody. I had also found a version I think from a Brazilian guy which I will try and refind. It’s great to share these things as music can unite us in this troubled world. And it’s about playing pieces that reflect ourselves and all the influences we find inside. Not just trying to replicate and copy. Regards. Dominic

You're welcome of course and thanks for your compliments.

Classical Gas is dan ook een stuk waarmee ik als het ware muzikaal ben opgevoed!

Thank you Iacopo. Almost too much honor!

Thank you but I'm still working on it and maybe strange: I'm the only one that gives the critics I need and that I accept at the same time.

Good to hear that from a fellow guitar player who knows what he is busy with!

Mason Williams for sure.

Thank you. But there are plenty of others that are very good. It is interesting however to hear it on a guitar Mason Williams also used.

@@2011Noud Though you are right about there being many excellent versions, in your case it's the guitar itself that makes all the difference. For me, music isn't only about the finished song, but how it got there and the history behind it. Over sixty years ago, my mother instilled in me why it's always important to experience the big picture when she played her favorite Big Band and jazz albums. What a joy it must be to play Mason's guitar. Mom taught me unique ways to appreciate music from a very early age. I love the back-stories and the inspiration behind my favorite music.

Not on my recording. That's for sure. Do you mean the original recording made by Mason Williams?

@@2011Noud Yes, on the original record. I play the piece and happen to know Mason as well. Also happy to hear you're playing Mason's original arrangement without the Mike Post 8-bar interlude. And your playing is letter-perfect.

I hope so but he once stated that he is proud of having composed the most executed popular instrumental of the last 70 years.... And he can be proud of that to my opinion.

What to think about the third part of Barrios' Cathedral? Just have a listen to Celil Refik Kaya: 4 amazing performances. He is one of the best! But thanks for your compliments anyway.

After about halfway there are not that big challenges to overcome. Just give it a try and you'll be rewarded! A lot of people like tis song and most likely including you! Good luck.

Thanks for your compliments though there are various other renditions on UA-cam. The extra with this one is that it has been played on about the same guitar, in fact an Oscar Teller 8P model.

Thanks for your compliments but I really do not consider myself as a true virtuoso. For that? Check Celil Refik Kaya: 4 amazing performances. That should be forbidden! L.O.L.

Thank you, I appreciate your words.

Of course I know Tommy Emmanuel. He is a great player and besides that a nice guy. But the warning should be: Try not to copy him. He is Tommy Emmanuel. One of a kind.

Hello Tom, Certainly a cedar top guitar. It is always easy to determine: Just put a light bulb into the soundbox. When the bracing of the top then is visible it is spruce. When there is nothing to see at all, then it is cedar.

@@2011Noud Thanks, I didn't know that trick! By the way, I've been enjoying your other videos as well-fine playing!

@@TLMuse Thanks for your compliments. Cedar is also colored darker most of the time but spruce soundboards can be stained...

I'm still working on it. This can be played much better but it as also ment for potential buyers in order hear the guitars' quality. Amalio Burguet guitars are always good instruments for the money.

Absolutely!

Just E-mail me and will send you the tabs. acakoevoets@kpnmail.ml. Sorry, mistake: acakoevoets@kpnmail.nl

@@2011Noud Awesome thank you!! I have sent you an email.

@@stephanmurphy7947 Sorry Stephan, mistake. My e-mail address should be acakoevoets@kpnmail.nl

@@2011Noud OK thank you for letting me know, i have resent it.

Thank you bur to be honest, I have to work on it still!

Thank you, and I hope you've mastered it finally??

Hello Dan. Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Hello Barry, Want the transcription? Just e-mail me. My e-mail address is in the description.

The honor for this transcription goes for the major part to Dirk Mundlein.

It often works in two directions. Therefore I think it is worth to bring guitars from different brands under attention of anyone who is interested. In that way it might help a bit to make a decision in buying a new (or secondhand) guitar.

Thank you. Still some extra work needs to be done.

Thanks a lot, Dave.

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Muchas gracias. Ya había otro vídeo en youtube que tomé como punto de partida. Sin embargo, faltaba la "tercera" parte en esa interpretación, así que la hice yo mismo. Esa parte comienza en el minuto 1:58 y es una buena adición. De lo contrario, habrá demasiadas repeticiones de aproximadamente la misma parte.

Thank you, Frank.

Hallo Geert, Nee, dit is een bewerking van Cardoso. Wat extra tierelantijnen en soms zelfs teveel naar mijn mening. Wil je hem hebben? Even mailen: E-mail adres staat in de beschrijving van o.a. Take five.

We are more often in the UK but then in the neighborhood of Bradford on Avon. It would be fun to meet each other.
