Com'on dude. Im a metal head and CANT AGREE WITH THAT. Bach's music is MILLIONS TIMES MORE COMPLEX than Metal. Bach would be a composer like he was... The complexity of his music cannot be expressed by a guitar-bass-drums band, using power chords riffs. NO WAY
@@marcospezenato1981 I'm confused.... What do those two things have anything to do with one another? A "metal head" (as you called yourself) is nothing more than a FAN of metal music. Are you telling me that because Bach was an extremely intricate composer, that he could not also enjoy the simpler compositions of a heavy metal band? That's sounds like a very harsh slight against Mr. Bach's musical comprehension capabilities.
This classic piece is like actually rock, I think Bach wanted to do something like this but in that time the only thing similar to the sound was the organ, he would’ve been proud with your cover
This is not rock This is the Genius of one of greatest music creator If you choose to play in classic way or heavy metal does not matter Bach ,Paganini, Vivaldi and many other in the past wrote the notes and opened the way to the secret of Music. Today we know only do great cover of them.
Until recently i had only heard the intro to this piece. When I heard it in its full lentgh I was really blown Away. I thought, wow this is hard rock/ heavy before its time. Perfect for electrick guitar. So cool🥰
@@MysterioFan02 It's well played for a single note version, but you're right, it's quite a bit incomplete... the Bass (which is extremely fundamental) is missing completely and the counterpoints are artificially added through a digital gadget. Maybe it's a promo for the effects pedal ?
@@mohamadmoradi6526 Check Andre Segovia. But there are many others. The version on this video is not bad, but it lacks a lot of emotion and dynamic. Using distortion is not a great idea in my opinion as it would require a lot of sound modulation to be usable and provide emotion. Dont get me wrong, Kfir did a great job on a very difficult and technical play, but indeed this is far from being the best version on guitar.
As I play organ, I know the score very well. This full version is played perfectly. Bach is my favorite composer and the quality of melodies allows to be played on instruments that did not exist in his time. The sound at the beginning of the fugue is very well chosen.🎹🎹
It is astonishing how perfectly it fits with the electric guitar. I sometimes think Bach was so a head of his time that we are not even modern enough for him.
My all time favorite classical piece. There is a dark beauty to each and every note. I have never heard this piece played in it's entirety on an electric guitar. This is incredible. Not just incredible but brilliant. Love the Ibanez too. Sir, once again you have made my day, Thank You!
Hi sir I'm John Aporo a blind guitarest from philipines I try to upload my videos in youtube and you are my inspiration sir. You are my verry idol. Thank You so much for you sir. Because of you I learn that just trust to your self and keep on fighting. Thank You sir again and again you are my idol God bless you sir..
I’m most impressed he remembered this whole song, there’s a lot here. Most songs have a refrain that plays at least 3 or 4 times which eats up a lot of the song which is easier to remember.
This song (piece?) is not only the original guitar solo, it's practically the basis for many forms of modern music. I have always said that before I die I want to make enough money to pay Eddie Van Halen to play Toccata and Fugue in D Minor for me, but damn it he died and the above rendition is certainly a great consolation prize.
Such a wonderful eternal composition interpreted and presented beautifully on electric guitar by a legendary virtuoso. This is a beautiful example of what happens when the present gives credit to the past. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with the world.
I used too be in a church choir and the organist wasn’t much older than me, but I adored hearing this peice of music played in full every time…the music vibrations went through my body and filled my heart, much as you are doing here so very cleverly in with Your guitar! It’s amazing to hear, and really touches the soul!!! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👩🦳💕💫🥰❤️🙏🌹💫😇😘😘😘🙏. Thankyou so much! Love and Light to you always! Xx
i remember seeing kfir playing live at a music festival maybe two years ago? it was two hours and they went by in a blink of an eye. hes truely a genius
been my favorite classical piece since i first heard it as a child and it still fills me with that same unknown emotion i felt then now matter how it’s played or what is played on. loved this video.
You are a fxxxxg genius, Kfir. You should seriously consider making an album of electric guitar renditions of classical music. I'll be first in line to buy it.
For the time being, there were 3 arrangements I heard that were fantastic: Vanessa-Mae (from her Violin Player album), Maxim Venergov and a violinist I discovered over a decade ago. This is now the 4th. Bach would be so proud of your arrangement. Pure virtuosity throughout the piece. You played with so much ferocity and it took me to a different world. By far the best electric guitar version I ever heard for Bach's famous piece 🙂🙂✌🏾!!
2:30 was my fave part it sounds like the ost for the villain's castle in a pixel graphic game. absolutely phenomenal! it has this strong dangerous tone to it but it has some kind of warmth. its like trying to defeat a boss but the main story is a love story and youre running out of time to get what you need most and its escaping and you cant reach it and what you want is running away from you. like if what you are trying to save is what is killing you.
I won't confirm or deny that this is the most amazing thing to listen to while on shrooms. I won't confirm or deny that you can feel every note radiate throughout your entire body. Amazing!
I started to learn this on guitar from a very incredible recording of a fantastic organ in Germany. I lost it many years ago and never really finished. The full song is beautiful, and this rendition is a great one. Good job buddy! Thanks.
3:40 - 4:00 best part of the entire melody 🎼 Bach knew his music was gonna stick around, and he knew the mad scientists like us would find it and experiment. Truly amazing piece.
This is by far, and without a doubt, the best version on one guitar I've ever heard. It's without a doubt my favorite piece of music ever written. And you do it masterfully. Any chance you'd ever tab this out? I've dabbled with this in the past, but now you've lit a flame under my ass lol I have a BOSS Pitch Shifter in the FX loop of my Mesa/Boogie TriAxis, set +1 oct & -1 oct, JUST to make a pipe organ sound for songs like this and Mr. Crowley. Been doing it for 20+ years. Nobody can ever figure out how I managed to get that sound lol
well i can take a wild guess even if i haven’t seen ur playing, something like evh’s cathedral and yngwie’s echo etude, playing with the delay and vol knob? Or you have some really interesting way to mess around ur pitch shifter to make some reverb and stereo sound
The non-chordal sections where Kfir is tapping, is the best section of the 'Fugue' portion of Toccata & Fugue in D Minor I've ever heard. Though the guitar will never match the horsepower of an epically large organ for hammering both the Toccata, and the closing of the song - this just kills the organ for clarity. This piece on Kfir's guitar does a better job of showing the brilliance of the writing of Bach throughout the song - than any version I've heard - and I'm an expert.
I was thinking what if someone played this classical piece associated with Dracula on an electric guitar, thinking it’ll sound rad. I searched and found this video and I am LOVING it so far. My favorite part was 2:40 it sounded so mesmerizing!
It's been a while since I listened to this piece. You need to stand up and take a bow after that performance. It never seems to amaze me just how beautiful this piece of music truly is.
Bravo! An incredible performance. You play this piece with more passion than any performer I've ever seen, and I've been in love with this piece for 25 years.
Thank you so much for your Electric Guitar interpretation of Toccata and Fugue by J. S. Bach. You play it so beautifully. The only problem I have with it is that I can't stop listening to it.
I love this, I know its sound rediculous but this was one of the first songs I learn on guitar (partially learnt) I'd play just the one song over and over and over. I pedalled the 12 fret not the 24th though.

Wow. Bach was the true father of metal. Way ahead of his time.
Nah. It's debatable....

OK. Just did some research. This style of one finger picking is called "tapping".
