  • Spanish Romance (or "Romanza") is one of the most famous classical guitar pieces, but it often gets hate for being "overplayed". So I decided to give it an EPIC makeover. Free tabs / sheet music below!

      Wow this is such a deep twist to a classical song, you are so talented. I've been playing guitar for 15 years (I'm not as good as you) but I feel any musician would say that you work with passion, congrats for that. When I read the title I though you would play Adagio from Concierto de Aranjuez. If you haven't listened you definitely should, and please make an arrangement! Please check this insane version by Paco de Lucia:
      ua-cam.com/video/e9RS4biqyAc/v-deo.html
      Not the most famous classical song, but an incredibly epic one. The music evocates the fear, rage and sadness that the composer felt after losing a baby in 1939 amid instability due to the Civil War in Spain.
      Cheers and keep up the good work!

    Romanza is the Stairway to Heaven of classical guitar. You even get kicked out of the luthier's shop if you play it.
    Nice arrangement, though.

      I bought one this year, after being 'playing' 3 year on an folk (pain way!)
      That changed everithing in the way I do music.
      To add to your advice, that's way more easy to use a classical guitar neck than it seem to be.
      I might have been down skilled 3 days

    @mindyourownbastardbu 2 роки тому +1

    Some of it fits very beautifully, but some of it is painting legs on a snake. Spanish guitar at its heart is the very spirit of improvisation and the transmutation of the boiling emotion of the soul into sound, but it has to flow. Emotions don't stop and start the way you played that, they shift and change like smoke rising in the wind. What you did: 8/10. The fact that you are trying to do it, and WHAT you are trying to do: 11/10 bro.
