    Earl is the man for fingerstyle. He combines the classical, Chet Atkins, swing and jazz beautifully and so effortlessly. His recordings are just fantastic. As a player I really marvel at this guy in particular. He is well known but I think massively underrated as a player and arranger. One of the best ever crossover guitarists for sure.

  • @UrquidiGuitars
    @UrquidiGuitars 10 років тому +32

    Earl's style is jazz, bolero, and classical at the same time. He is just amazing, to me it has more sense to play jazz on a nylon string spanish guitar, than a regular "jazz guitar"

    Wow is right.... I started to listen to Earl in the mid 80s but never seen him. This video really informed me on what kind of person he is, it seems like the greatest are humble, music lovers, and with natural ability. Thank you Earl, for setting such a wonderful example for musicians and people in general. Your attack is meaty and really gets inside a person.

    When I first heard Earl Klugh on Abu Dhabi FM radio in mid 1980's at I was studying the classical guitar. From listening and playing Carcassi, Fernando Sor and listening to the other extreme of Jazz guitar, E.K's playing style (which had a new unique soft tone of nylon guitar playing popsy-classical melody-chord sequences) roused me. I have not heard this tone before. Curious, I called the FM station and came to know of E.K.

    Had the great privilege of seeing him live at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Art; mid 80s. Earl has to be one of my all time favorite guitarists. He's the real deal; very talented yet humble, a gentle spirit and it comes across in his music.

    When I was little (like 5-7 years old) my dad used to tell me "this is Earl Klugh" when he listened to Jazz music. Not knowing a single word of English at the time, the only interesting thing about him was his "weird" name. Now on the other hand, I get why my dad likes him so much. What a fantastic musician he is!

    Earl has a SUPERB sense of harmony/melody,,, which is absolutely CRITICAL for any musician that wants to improvise, and improvise WELL! That's it! We have to develop our ears in order to become a musician! The great classical violinist, Yehudi Menuhin, when playing together with the equally great, Stephane Grappelli, said that he was very envious of Grappelli, because he could IMPROVISE!!!! And Yehudi being classically trained strictly memorizing music, rather than "creating/improvising" it! So,, bottom line............... TRAIN YOUR EARS!!!!

    Thought everyone knew. An interviewer asked him if Byrd was an influence; and, he said, "No, he can't play", along with a couple other comments. This was yrs. ago; and, this video is the 1st thing I've watched, or listened to, by Klugh since then. I know a luthier who built a guitar for him, and who agreed with my "punk" assessment (also yrs. ago). Now, to be fair, he may have changed; and, I realize that I have no right to sit in judgment of anyone (which I've repented of). :)

    Earl is brilliant as a player and is one of my all-time guitar heroes! However, I found this particular video difficult to watch- the host frequently interrupts Earl and asks a totally unrelated question right when Earl is about to demonstrate or describe his technique in more detail which I find utterly frustrating. Also he asks a lot of questions about Earl's upbringing which are nice but, again distract from learning about Earl's actual technique.
