Please make more videos with Thomas Valeur. You are absolutely awesome together. I also like the way this was recorded - You circling around him. You are kind of intimidating but i liked it. After all you are The Commander!-In-Chief.
Thanks! I am getting ready to record and do several videos together with one of the best classical guitarists in the world, Craig Ogden :) So yes, there will be more guitar duels!
I have watched this so many many years ago. I came back to this video today and damn. It's still one of the best videos on UA-cam . Thank you for this 👏🙏
The passage from 4:09 to 5:38 makes my soul tremble with a sublime emotion, can't really describe it, beautiful playing! Thanks for sharing this amazing interpretation!
This should be 2013 Christmas number 1 all over the world! I'm spellbound watching the two of you! I hope metalheads watch this and see that classical musicians can shred, and that classical music lovers watch it and see that rock musicians are just as talented as their classically trained counterparts! You did us proud Commander! *hugs!*
WOW!!! One of the best performances on UA-cam. Both guitarists play like they've been at it for 50 years. Thumbs up, if this doesn't move ya, nothing will!
This was back when I first started following you. Then I lost track for years. I fell in love with your guitar playing back then, and now your voice has reignited my desire for more. Well done Berit. You Rule!!!
I am stunned..a pure joy to watch...they are having a blast! Both amazingly talented, so much heart and soul, Thank you for lifting us humans just a little higher with your music.
I ♥ the carefully crafted electric guitar tone, which is so well-matched to the classical guitar tone. They are distinct, complementary sounds, but they sound really good together. Even your articulation and phrasing are well-matched. The extraordinary level of simpatico between you two makes this performance an absolute pleasure to watch! I also ♥ the playful competition, the facial expressions, and the choreography. :) Brilliant work!!!
CIC, I must add that I am deeply moved by the sensitivity of your playing in the solo line at 4:20. You are so incredibly expressive! I think a lot of people are going to be shocked to learn that a metal guitarist can play like that, on an electric guitar. CIC, you're my kind of musician-breaking down barriers and building bridges between genres! Please keep doing this fabulous work!!! ♥♥♥
Non commentavo un video da anni,oggi è il giorno... Meravigliosi...artisti a 360 gradi, in grado di trasmettere emozioni non solo attraverso i propri strumenti ma anche con lo scambio di sguardi... Grandissimi!!!
I love how Thomas is so calm and unphased by CIC's theatrics, the professional classicist vs the stage commanding rocker. The interplay between the two such talented guitarist is an absolute joy to watch
Beautiful duet of this incredibly challenging piece! I hope you get more views of this, it is a such a pleasure to see classical guitar and metal guitar blend so well together.
Wow I’m gobsmacked that human beings can perform this flawlessly yet make it look so easy. And I love the performance, attitudes, costumes, colours, relationship. Wonderful.
I am again stunned, not only by the musicianship, choice of piece, the particular rendition & the super-cook, classy outfits - but again by just how great these 2 instruments sound together and also how tight this duet really is. You 2 play extremely well together. Thank you for the wonderful performance.
Very nicely done! I expected I would only watch the first few seconds, cringe & move on, but I watched all of it twice. Beautiful composition played brilliantly by both players. They play for the music, not for themselves. Thank you.
Excellent! The melodies are especially homely to the Hungarian people, but especially with the soul, they are understandable, and in some cases even lyrics are associated with the given parts :)) Huge thanks from Hungary!
You two are both very skilled guitarists, but you are the superior musician, I think. I've just begun learning to play. I hope one day to rock as hard as you.
There is not enough adjectives to describe this. I only wonder how Ive been able to miss this all these years... doh, better late than never. This so good that to describe it I should do it by dancing.
I didn't see so much of a duel, rather than a very tasty duet. Melting classical guitar & Rock guitar together proving music, regardless of style is pretty much universal.
This. is. awesome. The blend of classical guitar with 7-string electric and a bit of shredding thrown in... along with the mild humor... was fun to watch. I "met" Commander in a virtual world recently and we chatted about her custom-built green Ibanez electric guitar (yes, them is pricey). While most of her videos are "hard rock" (to the best of my understanding)... her classical guitar training really shows in this video. Thomas does an excellent job in this as well, the duo perfectly accompanying one another in a playful manner. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
Wow, that was so clean and beautiful, well done, I was captivated the whole time! The ibanez has a nice clean tone too, reminds me a bit of Jason Becker
That was excellent!! And I really couldnt say which part I admired the most. The 100% musical talent, or the silent drama played out with it. Simply fantastic.
I stumbled upon this video while looking to study some of my investing books and I must say reading boring investing info all the sudden was fun. I started reading faster or slower as the music picked up. Then I started watching the video and was really entertained at the faces from the gentleman as the provocative woman walked around HAHAHA. I love this channel.
Great performance from both of you :) I listened this on my earphones and when you finished in such powerful finale I instinctively applauded like I'm on real concert... People around me probably though that I lost my mind :D :D :D
thecommanderinchief1 Thomas Valeur Productions I've been waiting a while to say this to see what was going to happen next, but I can't wait anymore: The world needs a full collaboration album by you two! I would happily help fund it! PS. Commander, I am looking forward to hearing your work with Craig Ogden, though.
binsitt Thanks a lot :D It took 5 months to learn to play that one on electric guitar. We met on Skype once a week to update each other on the progress during those months. We only had 48 hours together, before we recorded, to actually practice together.
Thanks for all the amazing comments, shares and support! Almost 200K views by now :)
Please make more videos with Thomas Valeur. You are absolutely awesome together. I also like the way this was recorded - You circling around him. You are kind of intimidating but i liked it. After all you are The Commander!-In-Chief.

beautiful guitar... great duo
thecommanderinchief1
Awesome Commander!!. Looking forward to see it. Love your outfit and style in your video's.
and you should have much, much more!
I have watched this so many many years ago. I came back to this video today and damn. It's still one of the best videos on UA-cam . Thank you for this 👏🙏
💞💞💞💞
The chemistry between these 2, is simply delicious!!!
The passage from 4:09 to 5:38 makes my soul tremble with a sublime emotion, can't really describe it, beautiful playing! Thanks for sharing this amazing interpretation!
The facial expressions alone are priceless... and the music is superb.
We had so much fun doing this and soooo much pain while practicing for months...lol
This should be 2013 Christmas number 1 all over the world! I'm spellbound watching the two of you! I hope metalheads watch this and see that classical musicians can shred, and that classical music lovers watch it and see that rock musicians are just as talented as their classically trained counterparts!

Until now, I didn't realize how many guitar lovers/players were also Zigeurnerweisen lovers. Great job!
WOW!!! One of the best performances on UA-cam. Both guitarists play like they've been at it for 50 years. Thumbs up, if this doesn't move ya, nothing will!
This was back when I first started following you. Then I lost track for years. I fell in love with your guitar playing back then, and now your voice has reignited my desire for more. Well done Berit. You Rule!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic playing and what a great tone from the electric. I love how it sounds almost like the classical guitar.
Lovely to watch two people at the top of their game with such skill and talent
I am stunned..a pure joy to watch...they are having a blast! Both amazingly talented, so much heart and soul, Thank you for lifting us humans just a little higher with your music.
A beautiful and fun interplay of Classical technique and modern playing! And to think that it was recorded just down the road from where I live, too!
Loved it. Such awesome expressions that went along side the guitar playing.
Both brilliant musicians. I liked the added metal flare. Electric guitar did a great job with volume keeping up with a nylon counterpart.
Simply perfect. Makes me want to learn the guitar...
I ♥ the carefully crafted electric guitar tone, which is so well-matched to the classical guitar tone. They are distinct, complementary sounds, but they sound really good together.

How in the world are you not more famous?! Dear god that was otherworldly.
Thank you!
I could sit back in my office and listen to this all day
I love how Thomas is so calm and unphased by CIC's theatrics, the professional classicist vs the stage commanding rocker. The interplay between the two such talented guitarist is an absolute joy to watch
wauw, this blew mind. I love the sound of the recording as well
Beautiful duet of this incredibly challenging piece! I hope you get more views of this, it is a such a pleasure to see classical guitar and metal guitar blend so well together.
Beautiful, MUSICAL Duo, thank you so much for your interpretation.
Love your music. I'd never seen a duet like you two guys. Amzing
WOW, you two really make your instruments compliment each other, bravo.
That clean tone makes me feel all tingly inside.
Amazing. I've never seen and listened to something more beautiful. TYSM!!!
Wow I’m gobsmacked that human beings can perform this flawlessly yet make it look so easy. And I love the performance, attitudes, costumes, colours, relationship. Wonderful.
Stunning. I'd never have thought it possible. It's all there.
Bravo! Bravo! Well Done. When you walked into frame, I was not expecting that. Very cool.
Great version of this truly lovely piece of music - brilliant playing.
Amazing and beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes, that was so good!!
The uptempo finale.... Mind blowing! Wow.
Cool!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video, Jason Becker! You are a true inspiration :):)
thecommanderinchief1 Thank you very much. You guys are great!
:D:D:D:D We are both totally shocked to see how well it has been received!
OMG JASON I TOTALLY LOVE YOU MAN!!!
And nicely done Commander in chief :D
very cool thanks for sharing
Amazing duo. Thanks!!
Wow!!! I've only heard this tune with the violin, but these two rocked it with their guitars. I'm real impressed!!!!
I am again stunned, not only by the musicianship, choice of piece, the particular rendition & the super-cook, classy outfits - but again by just how great these 2 instruments sound together and also how tight this duet really is. You 2 play extremely well together. Thank you for the wonderful performance.
Great duo ! I want more like this one !
Wow!!! the last part with drums will rocks, but great work, the feeling of the second part, simply beautiful!!!
Very nicely done! I expected I would only watch the first few seconds, cringe & move on, but I watched all of it twice. Beautiful composition played brilliantly by both players. They play for the music, not for themselves. Thank you.
Only twice!! I have watched this more than 60+ times.
That was by far, the most amazing and entertaining guitar duet I've ever witnessed!! Bravo!!!
Excellent!
The melodies are especially homely to the Hungarian people, but especially with the soul, they are understandable, and in some cases even lyrics are associated with the given parts :))
Huge thanks from Hungary!
Thank you very much! :):):):):):)
Good lord! I'm speachless. Doesn't happen that often, but now...Briliant! Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!
2 very talented guitarists @ the same time playing an amazing piece of music
Fantastic show. Hope to see more of both of them in the future. Worked together flawlessly. Acoustic versus electric, both winners!
Beyond amazing! I had chills through the whole thing!!!!
Wonderful duet. Very beautiful song with great arrangements.
You two are both very skilled guitarists, but you are the superior musician, I think.
I've just begun learning to play. I hope one day to rock as hard as you.
Great talents, brilliant job. Please keep up the good work, both of you are inspiring...
There are guitar players, and then there is this.
Excellent stuff.
I absolutely love musical discussions/arguments... Extremely well composed and executed... I loved every moment...
This is wonderful! I love it!!
You rock and blasted my classical world soul. Thank you!
There is not enough adjectives to describe this. I only wonder how Ive been able to miss this all these years... doh, better late than never. This so good that to describe it I should do it by dancing.
Thanks!!!

So well done ... and funny :) . Never bored to watch it again .
Very nice synchronization. These 2 are very good together.
Ви просто чудова пара і шоу - надзвичайне!!! Дякую!
Fantastically sense of humor )
This is truly awesome!!! Can't stop watching it!!
Great playing, great chemistry.
I didn't see so much of a duel, rather than a very tasty duet. Melting classical guitar & Rock guitar together proving music, regardless of style is pretty much universal.
Epic Battle!!! ...Lucidity moment when she comes sits beside next to him. Fantastic!!
Wow! I wish I could play a fraction as fast. Brilliant Musicians!
This. is. awesome. The blend of classical guitar with 7-string electric and a bit of shredding thrown in... along with the mild humor... was fun to watch.

Fan-freaking-tastic! Great job you two!
I don't like that the chick's guitar is a B.C. Rich Stealth rip off. ;)
Wow, that was so clean and beautiful, well done, I was captivated the whole time! The ibanez has a nice clean tone too, reminds me a bit of Jason Becker
Out of this world. Are you from another galaxy?
That looked like a LOT of fun. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! Crazy good. I saw Gil Shaham play this live on the violin. This blows my mind.
クラシックギターとエレキギターがこれほどまで一つに合わさって美しく歌ってる。原曲がお二人の愛の演奏で奏でられる。
とっても心地よい！
このご演奏、performanceが
今の世界を明るくしてくれているように感じました。
アリガトウ！

John Poppy 🕊️💒🥀
Very nice!!! And lot of passion for a Norwegian :))
It is amazing. Handsomely. I liked very much.
The combination of tube sound and the sound of classical guitar - very cool.
You are great.
Another masterpiece showcasing your amazing skill!
That was excellent!! And I really couldnt say which part I admired the most. The 100% musical talent, or the silent drama played out with it.
Simply fantastic.
Commander in chief you are so so good !!! I am a huge fan, this piece as others you did are fantastic !!!
Thanks:)
That's more notes than I have ever played in my life! Great!
The last segment was really something amazing!!!
Awesome performance! Thank you for doing justice to such a great piece of music.
Very well done! I appreciate resisting the urge to use the Laney's high gain channel. Both guitars are clear as a bell.
You are spirit of sarasate ! Wonderful !
amazing work! also great clean tone on the electric
Only today i've met this masterpiece. Great performance! ❤
Thanks a million! I’m glad you like it 👍
According to my son Frederik 5 Years old, You are the best Guitarist in the world! Det er rigtig fin musik.
Wow! This is downright super amazing. Oh my! The virtuosity
Very well done!
Thanks for uploading this brilliant piece of music. You are both very skilled guitar players.
A conexão entre os dois é absolutamente incrível!
Fantastic performance!
Awesome second to none 🎸 🌹 🎸 🌹
Thanks a million! :)
Wow, it's 2023 and I totally forgot what joy this brings me! Thanks CIC!
My pleasure!
Is it already 2023 ? Many years ago, Paganini bring me on this channel but the Commanderinchief bring me back.
I stumbled upon this video while looking to study some of my investing books and I must say reading boring investing info all the sudden was fun. I started reading faster or slower as the music picked up. Then I started watching the video and was really entertained at the faces from the gentleman as the provocative woman walked around HAHAHA. I love this channel.
Thanks!
Cool stuff. Excellent Video. Was not expecting it to be that good. Keep up the great vids
one of best duels I have ever seen. Brilliant
Joe DuPree / Jed Media Group Thanks a lot!!! It took 5 months to learn to play that one so I am very glad people like it!
thecommanderinchief1 You must kidding.... Only 5 months ??? I don't believe it... Anyway awesome.... I love this clip forever.. God bless to you~
That was truly amazing!
Great performance from both of you :) I listened this on my earphones and when you finished in such powerful finale I instinctively applauded like I'm on real concert... People around me probably though that I lost my mind :D :D :D
thecommanderinchief1 Thomas Valeur Productions I've been waiting a while to say this to see what was going to happen next, but I can't wait anymore: The world needs a full collaboration album by you two! I would happily help fund it!
PS. Commander, I am looking forward to hearing your work with Craig Ogden, though.
Wonderful dialogue. I love it!
WOW! Amazing! Love this!
Outstandingly beautiful and skilled. I wonder what it takes to play such an complex piece together, They reallay appear to communicate.
binsitt Thanks a lot :D It took 5 months to learn to play that one on electric guitar. We met on Skype once a week to update each other on the progress during those months. We only had 48 hours together, before we recorded, to actually practice together.
Errr... holy cow, that was awsome! Especially at 5 MInutes to the End. God, i play a bit guitar by myself, but this stuff is high end. cO
Well done, great tone on both instruments but unexpectedly good clean tone on the e-guitar. Outstanding.
