Pretty smooth man!
👍
The first one feels like an angel coming to bless adam and eve and second feels like rebirth of a devil
I prefer F# major here, I find it more colorful
is there a tab for this??
dis shit mad fire
Beautiful very nice. Also lose the headphones
A week on and this just gets better.
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Very funky bro
This is so good man
Only 115 views, but one of the greatest renditions of this song of all time. Please do a full album classical cover for us, please!
Really interesting derivation in the solo and what a fantastic, understated backing track. My You Tube viewing shall be stuck on this for the rest of the week.
Nice! Great tone and articulation. AND a really good recording. Too many YT with crappy recordings in crappy rooms.
👏 👏👏
Wonderful
Two Headed boy!! very nice!
Have you ever gotten into square pushers classical guitar pieces. Truly amazing, unique, and modern pieces. I highly recommend. You sound amazing btw!!
The best music good man !
Holy shit. Two of my favorite things I never thought I would see combined.
This sounds great
Bad ass bro
Nice ❤
Yo, dude. Pristine
this is sick!!
How are you not famous yet! I listen to this on a daily basis. You my friend are very talented. My one request is to please release the tabs. How gifted you are is beyond me. I really hope you are where you want to be because you you deserve it. I bid you an amazing life.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a wonderful version of this song.
You have a beautiful round tone. I thought the experiment was great. I'm just worried you let Pazzoozoo out playing such a pretty piece backwards. You better say your hail Mary's mister. ❤😂❤
Still beautiful ❤️
oh I know this piece, it's called Amirgal
Ironically you sum it up perfectly in your mispronunciation of the title. La Grima is definitely not the teardrop, more like something unpleasant.
This was clever, indeed. :) If you are going to do with other pieces it is best to initially stick with the recognizable and easy pieces. 1) As far as the A/B/A format is concerned, your next effort should be "Romanza". :) 2) Then, the Sor Study No.5. 3) THEN, you should do Leo Brouwer's Etude No. 6 with the standard right hand fingering....but backwards. 4) THE then the Villa Lobos Prelude No. 4 and Etude No. 1. Boy...that would be a way to "get to know a piece of music". THAT would be impressive. :) Excellent concept. :) Antoine
Your video showed up on my feed. This works far better than it has any right to. Is Recuerdos de la Alhambra next to get the backwards treatment?
Superb. By the way, LAgrima. Not, LaGRIma.
Horrible. Better try this on the piece Amirgal of the Croatian composer Ocap Agerrat.
Wow! Very creative 👏👏. Saludos 👋
Stands up as a modern-sounding, slightly abstract piece 🤘
Sounds good. Technically, the bass note at the beginning of bar 14 is sounded for the entire bar when played forwards, and should have been sounded for the entire bar when played backwards. It certainly would sound that way if you took a recording and played it backwards.
That's true! Any longer note around shorter notes would, when flipped, take up more space than I gave them (though in a backwards recording I imagine the attack would be such that the emphasis would still be where I'm putting the actual notes). I ended up doing it this way because it's easier to follow along with the score. Would be cool to hear with those changes though!
Even the gliss lol One shouldnt like this but it Did work. shrug
Interesting... 5 STARS! --Van
Maybe you should try it backwards in the sense where you're thinking about the notes as playing or not. So if there is one quarter note played at the same time as an eighth note and then another eight note tied to the first, you'd play the second note at the same time as the quarter note instead. And a whole note would still be played on the first beat even though it would be next to the fourth quarter note, if that makes sense.
It does! I thought about this but in the end opted doing it this way because visually it's easier to track (and for me to read). This would be the more correct way though.
Sounds a lot like Amirgal, to me...
An interesting but unfulfilling experiment. The melody disappears and thus the emotional tension/release cycle is absent, leaving no particular desire to hear it again.
interesting
Very nice interpretation, it sounded like a totally different beautiful classical piece. Please consider doing Bach or maybe romantics like Chopin.,👏
Thanks, I may do Bach!
Sure, if this was a piece by Shoenberg... This is an intresting experiment, maybe funny, and very nicely done and beautifully played, but as useful and interesting as reading Shakespeare's sonnets backwords. Backwords the music lacks meaning and beauty. Only the beautiful sound of the guitar and mr Tolls excellent playing remains . The musical structure in it selve is empty. It makes no sense. Playing western late romantic music backwords breakes every possible music theory rules. It simply doesen't work. Playing a simple candenza like C-F-G7-C backwords makes no sense in western music. The circle of fifths is engraved into the core of our musicl unerstanding. With a different set of rules, like mirror fuges and 12-tone theory it is ofcourse possible to use principles like retrograde themes, but your mind and ears are tuned to a different musical language. I just wonder - what's the point?
It actually works! Well played and interpreted. Super cool. grazie.
I do that too. I also play each measure forward, stating on the last one. You can also turn the score upside down and play it forwards or backwards.
Like Victor Borga lol
notice that the name of the composition has a written accent over the first letter "a" therefore the accent on the first syllable. it is a very fine composition just as Francisco wrote it, no need to fix that which aint broke.
You meant when Toll Music pronounced "Lagríma" with the accent on the 2nd syllable at the start of the video, he should have pronounced as "Lágrima" with the accent on the first syllable, for correct pronunciation of the title of the piece? 🤔
what are your hobbies?
😂😂😂
That was pretty cool!
