- This extraordinary new composition by Gary Ryan, played here by the composer himself makes use of incredible extended techniques. Recorded at the Apex in Bury St Edmunds at a point at which the piece was yet to be fully committed to paper.
Wonderfull to hear one of my guitars being played so amazingly. Great pieces by Gary. One of the best!
Absolutely!
I didn't know this guitarist before I saw him in some video of trinity college. I don't know how it's possible he's not famous as others, he has a rare precision and tecnique. Absolutely stunning. Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I discovered him at a brussels conservatory. Yeah he deserve something like Andrew York renommée obviously.
Gary's performance in the 2020 Vision concert at the Bolivar Hall on 24th June was only surpassed when he London Premiered his new composition "Benga Beat"; a true master at one with his instrument drawing in his audience with suble colour expositions of complex cross rhythms and tonal inflections that had quality and crispness. His use of every percussionist part of the guitar astounds. This is another groundbreaking composition and in my mind ranks alongside "Generator". Simply brilliant.
Watched Gary Ryan play this piece twice live and it even better live. Not only does he remember his own pieces as complex as this, but also other insanely complex pieces composed by others. A truly skilled musician!
This is a ridiculously well composed and performed piece of music.
This person is the best. I passed my Grade 8 certification with a “distinction” by just “following” his gestures and practicing less. That helped me inculcate a belief that I “can” and I just nailed it.
Was lucky enough to see him play this live last night in the Acapela Studio, Pentyrch. Couldn't believe it. Brought the house down. Incredible.
Me too
Everything comes together here: Soulful playing - Extreme technique - Rhithmically perfect - Very good sound
- A beautiful composition. And a great guitar of Stephen Hill that does justice to the former mentioned items!
Absolute facts, I agree
PS:*rhythmically
3 years already since I had a masterclass with Mr Ryan and saw him play this amazing composition live. Such a fantastic performer and great teacher. Still blown away each time I watch this video!
I recently rediscovered this again after hearing it a decade ago. I listen to it often: I can't explain why but it makes me incredibly happy. Something about the rhythms and the seeming simplicity of the thing (although I'm sure it's anything but..) What a wonderful gift!
What? Seeming simplicity? Have you ever tried playing guitar? I am 30 now, played since my 8th bday. 0 chance I can do this
Haha! Well that’s what I meant. Masters make complicated things look simple. It’s very elegant, clean sounding and all just falls into place (seemingly effortlessly.) I stand by my comment 😜
With this composition, Gary Ryan's classical guitar gains an important expansion of its technical and compositional possibilities, preserving the classical form and the pleasant conduction of themes and harmonies, which also makes it accessible to the lay public. Congratulations for the genius of this work, and much more, for the perfection of its accomplishment.
I think this is wonderful and so unlike most classical guitar repertoire. I also notice the way he adjusts his right hand to get funky, nearer to the bridge with less of an arched position. I also love the singing, such a shock somehow to hear a classical player just singing. Magnificent!
Clearly a top world class guitarist with any style of music !.
Wow. Just wow. Thank you - what a wonderful addition to our repertoire and performed with such incredible virtuosity.
Lost count how many times I've watched this, brilliant.
The best of the best. And now rightly head of strings at the Royal College of Music in London. How lucky they are to have him.
Ran out of words on my last rant but just had to say what a stunning piece of music this is. Such a feast for the ears and senses. Not only that, its a remarkable performance from an obvious, genuine virtuoso, a man who truly lives up to that over used term. Finally, congrats to the video team, sound and light and setting are superb.
Briliant!! One of the best performances I have ever seen in this genre.
Saw this live at a six hands guitar trio concert. Definitely the most amazing evening ever. And this piece... if you ever have the opportunity to see it played live - TAKE IT!!!
This guy is my inspiration. So glad to have had so much feedback from him, he seems a great teacher as well as a fantastic player
I wish he played rainbow because I have the cassette but no cassette player. Rainbow was a song my grandma would sing in the car sometimes. It is one of my fondest memories of her. Maybe he will see this and play rainbow. Thanks Mr. Ryan for blessing us with your gift of sound.
This is really marvellous, and so impressive !!!... It's gonna be quite hard to put my lazy fingers on my guitars, after this incredible demonstration.
The most important thing is... : more than his perfect and stunning technic, Gary Ryan gives us emotion and colourful escape. So, thank you, great Artist-Man ! :)
heard it last night at Kings Place, really refreshing varied piece of music, Thank you Fantastic night out
I am a fan after one listen. Brilliant!
It's incredible how he doesn't miss a note, not ONE sound is wrong. He remembered all of this. That is a lot to remember. I wonder how much time it took him..
I reckon you've practised that. Wondrous. Thank you.
Most wonderful! The Stephen Hill guitar sounds good!
I love this. Such a unique piece of music. Totally brilliant!
That guitar sounds angelic.
Would be nice to extract that sound...
Love to watch this over and over.
He is amazing! Can't believe I've had this guy judge me at a festival before and saw him perform this very piece!
That is mayhaps the most surprisingly amazing thing I've seen on UA-cam. Nycce.
I have no words......this is. FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE!, a mix of rthythms and wonderfull melodies that create a great dialogue between Gary and the public....It´s like an evolution of Andrew York´s music. Thanks you!
Saw Gary play this today, was fantastic live!
Mesmerising technique and stunning composition.
jaw on the floor. wow.
This guy's functioning at a high level of musical creativity. In other words he is damned good.
===== Whoaaaa ===== Love the percussion work and technical skills on the guitar. =======
We have so much enjoyed hearing you play this wonderful composition this afternoon at the University of Surrey Guitar Day and we'll be back this evening to hear more :-)
What a wonderful piece... sounds like one's on a journey with the scenery constantly changing ....
Wow! What a fantastic piece of guitar mastery. I aspire to be able to play like this but am absolutely blown away by the fluid technicality of Gary's playing. What an inspiration. Stunning!!!!!
Brilliant. There's a Gary Ryan piece in the Grade 5 syllabus by the way ;-)
This is so beautiful. I love the music and its percussion
Thrilling! Thank you for a wonderful evening of music at the Boliver Hall.
People this brilliant make the rest believe maybe we CAN do more than what we are able to do now. Truly inspiring.
Well, that's one way to show off just what a guitar can do in the right hands! Amazing.
Bellissima composizione. Finalmente una boccata d'aria fresca per il nostro nobile strumento.
Had the opportunity to listen this song performed by Piraí Vaca some weeks ago. I didn’t knew the song, I was blown away!
I can't stop watching this - it is utterly brilliant!
I absolutely love this! I've worked out just a small section from 6:35 to 6:56 - only a snippet but it fills me with irrepressible joy every time I play it. I can't wait for the score to become available.
Absolutely stunning!
I just bought the sheet music. By the looks of it, it'll take some time to get this one flowing.. ^.^
Did you manage by now?
Nah, not really. This one will take some time. Mr. Ryans compositions can be tricky but very playable at the same time. I'll get there.
Have u managed?
Have you managed now? Would love to see a video of what you've got down so far
@Luke Nah, I had to give in. It's a combination of not having enough hours to put in but mostly; I'm just not gifted enough ^.^
The Master! Heard Gary playing this at the Sandwich Guitar Festival a couple of weeks ago. Really hope to see him there again next year!
+SpexSava790 where is this festival? I'd really like to see Gary live!
+Angelo Groot Hi Angela, not too sure what Gary is up to at the moment, but he won't be at the Sandwich Festival which starts on 1st October. Apart from workshops they've got quite a line up including Martin Simpson, Thomas Ford, Femi Temowa, Shaun Murray and Craig Ogden. You can visit Facebook/Sandwich Guitar Festival for more info. or contact laura@yellowstone-events.co.uk.
Angelo Groot - he is a full-time professor at one of the London conservatoires, so isn't touring constantly. But he does have some gigs scheduled for late spring 2017 alongside John Williams and John Etheridge.
Love this tune! Keep up the amazing work Gary, you too Rónán! Brilliant show at CDGF Gary!
Same I saw him play on Sunday, He is absolutely amazing!
A very beautiful piece of music and the voice adds another dimension.
fantastic, superb, I'm in love with this piece of MUSIC!
absolutely amazing, the singing was really good!
Very well done Gary, a truly inspiring work of composition and performance. It's just so damn catchy! I look forward to the score appearing on your website with your other fine works.
Wow! Thank you Gary. I'm off to your shop right to explore your music some more right now!
This is badass. Wow. Almost a unique style of playing; I haven't heard anything quite like this before.
This is like one of those guys who beats on their guitars, except he seems to be classically trained. Completely changes the dynamic; much more precision.
Also, why the hell isn't this on Apple Music?? Where can I get listen to this on the go?
Great work, Gary. Thanks!
Magnficent ! love all those extended techniques put into play TY
I just saw Steven Joseph play this in St. John',s Antigua and he did an excellent job
Looking forward to the publication! And all the best for your concert!
Kind regards,
Michael
Brilliant.
History will place him along with Tarrega, Sor, Guilliani, Carcassi, Carulli and Segovia.
I'm quite sure history will not do that. It's a pleasant tune made into an extremely difficult 'showpiece' which is an amazing spectacle to watch but ultimately quite forgettable.
@@allan2098 you are joking right
Speechless at this comment
AW MAN. THIS IS SO COOL. GREAT SHOW IN DERRY A FEW NIGHTS AGO. YOU BLEW MY SOCKS OFF
Love it!! It's amazing!! Great Job!! Wow!!
Genius composition. Genius playing.
absolutely perfect composition and execution, amazing!
He observado detenidamente esta su intepretacion de esta obra y he quedado muy gratamente sorpendido, no se me ocurre mayor diversidad de ritmos, timbres, sonoridades y efectos para obtener de la guitarra, para que nos demos cuenta el camino que aun queda por recorrer en este instrumento la GUITARRA clasica y ademas Española sin olvidarnos de la Flamenca que en esto de sacar efectos y sonoridades tampoco se queda atras, Felicidades sinceras, enhorabuena y que esta obra sea un ejemplo inicial para seguir descubriendo musica con este instrumento en los distintos y diversos lugares de este nuestro mundo que buena falta le hace repito felicides le desea este amante de la musica y la guitarra desde el centro de la pangea.
My respect to you from Israel on your excellent playing.
Just seen him perform this live. Absolutely stunning.
Absolutely incredible!!
Hahah this is so cool! I just went to see him live too yesterday and it was definitely cooler hearing it in the same room!
He is an amazing player and his playing is so smooth! - an inspiration to me and all guitar players
This is amazing playing. What an artist. The composition is fantastic too. I am proud to know Gary!! I knew maestro Andres Segovia quite well and I can say that Gary is even better. He will go to history as one the best guitar players ever!! Congratulations Gary. You are just great.With admiration,Marisa Robles.
Speech less. Beautiful music
Extraordinary!
I heard Gary playing this in the bolivar hall. This is so amazing
Wonderful and shiny composition
Makes me realise how much I still need to learn as a composer.
Well - that's made me realise what an amateur hack I am! Superb performance. Bravo.
This is absolutely amazing!
Interesting composition with some acoustic guitar techniques, well played.
Amazing! !!!
Thanks a lot.
Outstanding!
the capture is fantastic
I actually love this
Great piece Gary !
Amazing!! Great performance!
Best wishes,
Kei
Brilliant Gary!!
This was cool piece indeed. Reminds of Badi Assad.
Simply great! ;)
Que forma tan exquisita de fundir técnica, estilo y sonido. Gracias por compartir
I was lost in this, so good
Wow, wundervoll und inspirierend. Ein sagenhaftes Beispiel von intelligentem Spielwitz und Virtuosität!
I LOVE this! So creative:)
Just incredible.....
@pederfi Absolutely. A great piece, wonderfully played. Haha, I've just caught the finger snap at 0.29! For me, it is vital for virtuosi like this all to have a sense of humour about their work. Thumbs up, as you say.
DIOS BENDITO! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
this is so amazing
Beautiful . . .
Awesome!!
