Antonio Vivaldi - La Folia - Metal / Shred Guitar Arrangement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- Basically a metal cover of Vivaldi's La Folia performed by me, me and me. Words cannot describe what I feel about this piece. The ending section is absolutely breathtaking.
I ended up using my solar guitar (S1.6FRFBR) and a peavey 5150 profile on the kemper for all the tracks.
Vivaldi composed metal before it even existed.
So did LeClair (would LOVE to hear a shred metal cover of his violin stuff, any of it - hint, hint).
Henry Purcell could get pretty intense, too - and he's been given some interesting reinvents throughout the years. His music for the funeral of Queen Mary was covered electronically by Wendy Williams as part of the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, sounding incredibly badass; and "The Cold Song" from his opera _King Arthur_ got reworked by Michael Nyman and the end result was used in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.
As could Marais. His compositions for viola da gamba are just begging for a metal guitar arrangement.
Baroque music in general lends itself well to metal.
Oh, and then there's Jean-Baptiste Lully, who composed ballets and masques for King Louis XIV of France, invented conducting, and died of gangrene as a result of getting a little too boisterous with his conductor's baton (a large wooden staff that he thumped into his foot during a performance of one of his choral works).
The melody is much older than Vivaldi, but nobody can argue that Vivaldis rendition is the most metal of them all ;)
@@shield543 who wrote the original melody?
@@IamZeus1100 It is unknown but it is believed it could stem from Spain/Portugal area in the early medieval ages
They were already exist but only thing makes it different was the music instruments back then.
We just resuming their legacy and masterpiece of art .
5:42 this part is probably one of t h e heaviest parts in classical music
Attention, ladies an gentlemans: Antonio 'The Red Priest' Vivaldi, the god of metal.
I was long waiting for a metal cover of this masterpiece. It was just too metal by itself :D
Thank you! The original piece is one of the most beautiful and powerful things mankind has ever produced. Heavier than metal!
I was too!! It's so many many years I'd love to hear a metal version of this piece!!!
@@JesperEkstal thank you so much!!! It's so so so beautiful!!!
First metal song in history
Yeah, one of them for sure. Vivaldi is powerful stuff!
What a way to slander cavemen!
Vivaldi is smiling. Thanks
Vivaldi my favourite composer of all time. The geniousity radiates brighter than the sun from his pieces
Oh FINALLY A GOOD METAL COVER OF VIVALDI'S FOLLIA!
THANKS
I was surprised that I have never seen this video before, then I realized the upload date. This was a long expected cover bro, great job!
Yeah, it came out quite good, I think. Thank you. Btw, I listened to that piano track on your channel. I really liked it, did you compose it?
@@JesperEkstal Yes, my composition. I'm glad you like it. :)
Also, compliments for playing the 3 instruments and arranging everything yourself!
Thank you very much!
Vivaldi applauds from heaven. Very cool, thanks! ☠️🤘🤘🤘 Спасибо.
Wowww! An excellent interpretation of one of my preferred masterpieces for older instruments. I always thought it would render great on electric guitar. I looked for it today. You surpassed my expectations! ;-)
Too bad you're not on spotify, this is perfection. I JUST NOTICED I WAS LIKE 666 😝🤘 If you did a whole album of baroque arrangements like this I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Vivaldi was defs a metal man a little before his time
It's crazy how this is the closest I've heard to the feel of the original song. Orchestras can't do it justice.
How about this one?

I love La Folia. This is so epic
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS TO SEE THIS PIECE PLAYED LIKE THIS.
Just heard the symphony version the other day and it is the best thing I've heard. And then, today no less, I find this. Thank you!
Imagine if we could stick Vivaldi in a time machine and show him all the reimagining of his music, from this metal, to those African marimba girls
Love this. This is my personal favorite Vivaldi piece and you did it justice. Do you have a version with just the guitars and no percussion? You’ve just made a fan.
Ditto.
Holy hell, this was amazing. Vivaldi with this treatment just fits so well. Bravo on an incredible cover! 👏
Yeah I'm gonna need the tabs for this. This is incredible
Outstanding
Thank you!
You weren't kidding, that last part was awesome!
Is this going into your upcoming album as well?
Yup, beautiful harmonies.
I've not entirely decided yet, but probably yes!
This is fantastic! This is my favorite classical piece, and hearing it this way is great. Nice job man!
I'm sure... If the Red Priest lived today and listen this cover he would like It.... Oh yes .... Love It ❤️
Wonderful 👏
Wow, that was absolutely amazing. Utterly blown away =o .
Absolutely incredible you are an amazing musician!
Wonderfully done. The Vivaldi Folia is beyond epic.
This is incredible. Sir, you have captured the magic.
Now all you need is a 4-string bass in Drop-D, or 5-string bass, or a 6-string bass. This should have been featured in Metalocalypse but their loss is your gain. Great performance.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU'VE MADE MY DAY!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU SO MUUUCCHHH
So I'm sitting there listening to the classical version of this going like "Hey, that would sound GREAT in Metal!" - and UA-cam did not disappoint. :D
6:31 the best part ever.
Also don’t forget that huge drop at 5:42
5:01 was awesome too
Wow, I can't imagine a better metal transposition of this Vivaldi Masterpiece. Simply wonderful!
All true classical music lovers are metalheads.
Absolutely amazing, man. Congrats!!!
Yesss, I've been waiting for a cover that still relies on the score. Fantastic job man!!!
Usually I do not like this kind of cover, but this is just to good to not be listened!
Super!
Have you thought about doing the center down guitar on a bass? Love the arrangement, amazing play too.
@@ominayu thanks! yeah but it didnt sound good. I just put a bass doing the chord progression notes kind of low in the mix instead.
Surprising and well done!! Congratulations!!! Vivaldi forever and anyway!!!
Ottima esecuzione,, bravo .🤟🏽
Well this was most certainly unexpected.
Bro did a masterpiece, beatiful af
Moshing like in the 1700's 🤘🤘
Great job man. Have you tried Royer's Le Vertigo? Some serious black metal blasting that one.
Thanks. Never heard of it, I'll check it out
Wow amazing thanks
Wow this is incredible, nice arrangement dude! rock on!
fantastico!!!
You sir have earned a like well done
Excellent work on an excellent piece!
Very very cool.😎🤩
Really fascinating, thanks for that!
Awesome!!!
With these remarkable drums !!!
Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏!!! Bravissimo !!!!
Respect !
Am I the only one who's Hearing the Vivaldi final boss theme?
well, thnaks sir, incredible!
Remember I did this first hehe
Do it in live takes then come back at me. Just kidding lol! I've heard your version and it's sick. Really great job on the articulations, expressions and so on. It's very faithful to the "original" version (played on violins). And more detailed overall. Cheers man!
@@JesperEkstal thanks I didn't mean to be rude. At least this piece gives you a bit of an education on how 2 lead voices can work together.
@@TheRobTV me neither, I was just joking. Yeah I totally agree, the harmonies and how they move and intertwine with eachother to form a whole is close perfection.
Spicy
🔥
Megadeth would be very proud.
очень впечатляющее исполнение
Спасибо!
You know about the metalhead segment from Il Giardino Armonico.
AWESOME!!!!
The drop 5:42
Cool!
awesome cover!
GREAT
😌😌😌
Genius.Soha nem fogok megunni.
I wish Vivaldi had had an electric guitar in his closet back then. How much more of good music would we have had by now.
Ofcourse I will sub!!!!
The baroque period would have been fackin mental with electric guitars.
5:45 Sounds like dethklok went to the renesance fair😂
Jokes on you! It was already metal!!!!
Figase!
😮❤
Ekt staal, niet normaal
While this is really cool, I wonder if there's any way to mimic the crescendos with electric guitar. I think dynamics in this piece make it more awesome. Among the pieces I want to learn that And Saint Saens' Rondo and capriccioso
Thanks! Yeah, that is exactly what this is lacking compared to the real deal. I thought about trying that, but yeah, sadly distorted guitar is severely lacking in dynamics. I just embraced that and made it powerful all the way through lol.
It is probably possible of course, probably with volume, amp gain automation etc.
@@JesperEkstal maybe you could mix in acoustic guitars in some parts and just add the electric ones when you approach fortissimo? No idea that is how I would approach it
@@ER-je3fd yeah that could definitely work! Though I'm done with this piece lol. Right after i recorded the third and final take of this video I was done with it. It's a good thing that every melody and harmony is so beautiful, otherwise I would've gone insane practicing it haha
Epic! One of my favourite classical pieces. Well done man. I always wanted to do a cover to this. Did you tab it out by chance?
Thanks. Unfortunately not, but I tracked down a MIDI file and learnt from that. Don't have it anymore though..
@@JesperEkstal ahh i see. I'm not that advanced in music theory so i usually listen to recordings and piece it together. But it's tidious
Anyways. Keep up the good work bro. Cheers \m/
Kinda like wearing a formal jockstrap to a Schumann concert
Nice one, but could be nicer without the overpased drums, sorry ;-) Vivaldi is not the easy way to play, great Guitar skills!
is it possible to get the music sheets somewhere?
Its like, avenged sevenfold
Why guitar covers aways have to use these drums? Eletric guitar it s a fantastic instrument by itself don't need this
You don't even need to credit Vivaldi. It is not by Vivaldi. It is a Spanish renaissance tune that has been ripped off for centuries by composer after composer, and Vivaldi was only one of them. If you claimed this as your original, you would be following the tradition. This is one special instance where you would be well within your right to just ... call it your own. Of course, professional standards and academia might be different nowadays and what you are permitted to do, still...
It's vivaldi's version of folia my dear. Spanish tune is just 9 or less notes. These are variations which are made by effort and knowledge
