Paganini's 24th Caprice (New Variations).

  • Essentially, I've composed my own variations for Paganini's 24th Caprice based on the template of the classical guitar adaptation. Also, take *note: I'm using a BOSS GP-10 on my telecaster to produce the nylon string sounds. (The Roland V-guitar stuff is really great.)
    Assuming the video gets enough plays, etc. I'd be more than happy to do an in-depth analysis of the piece with examples from both the original as well as those I've composed here. (In fact, I'm looking forward to it.)

    These are my own variations based off of the originals, FYI.
    Likewise, if any classical players would like to work on adapting these, I'd be really into that.

    Tory- I pre- judged a little and thought this was a bit adventurous. - This variation I will always compare anyone to the great Su Meng who played this on classical as a young girl with an audience , and blew everybody away! However, Tory you played many interesting licks/chops, and I look forward to hearing this again- Well done! (Tho more practice with the harmonics) I’m glad I found you in here!

    Very Beautiful. I like the harpsichord Midi feed, seems like you blend the natural timbre of the guitar with the Harpsichord! Genius! Show us more. I really like the neck pickup tones. Your Midi pickup is so close to your bridge. Have you experimented with moving the midi pickup to different positions?

    • @TorySlusher

      It's actually not MIDI. It takes the sound of the string and transforms it into an acoustic kind of sound...

    Thank you for putting variations in this piece. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much without it. I do love your style and especially your jazz and you seem to even make classical tolerable for people like me. But I must say, Wagner is my favorite that I enjoy most in that genre.

      Thanks. ... With these types of pieces I'm not really trying to compete with the traditional classical approach, it's more of a fusion based stylistic departure or something. I actually occasionally lift certain ideas or techniques from classical players LOL, but the repertoire is not really something I'm interested in developing per se...
      With that being said, at some point I might actually decide to write some legit classical guitar works, kind of like when Chick Corea wrote that piano concerto etc

      I just find that I come up with so many better ideas, in my experience, playing with a pick tends to result in rehashing a lot of the same movements or ideas, licks etc. And it kind of feels detached from the instrument

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  4 місяці тому +1

      To me it's all the same stuff. Probably to these virtuoso players back in that time period, they were basically seeing themselves like gigging jazzers or something... For instance, it was common at one time for performers to kind of do their own cadenzas and whatnot.... Not to mention the fact that a lot of the great players were composers themselves, which is basically a form of slow improvisation.

    • @robertrobles4028
      @robertrobles4028 4 місяці тому

      Right… the great composers could improvise. However instrumentalists such as Classical Violinists rarely if ever improvise or compose their own cadenzas. There are a very few exceptions.

    One question: how’s your string action on your instrument? “Standard”, or “very low-better for tapping”?

    • @TorySlusher
      @TorySlusher  2 роки тому +4

      Honestly, probably somewhere in between the two. Perhaps a bit on the lower side of that scale. It's not so incredibly low that they're laying on the strings though, I do a lot of finger style playing and you simply can't really do that if it's too incredibly low. When I'm basically looking for is a equal volume balance between finger plucking and tapping the string. That way you can go back and forth between the two and the amount of force you're putting into is basically the same and you're getting the same volume out in the end.
