Can't imagine all the hard work behind these fantastic performances.
It's not that hard. I learned the first 4 notes in only 6 months.
I knew him at the age 11. He was fantadtic in that time too.little genious. He started at 4 years old , I think...
A whole life
Hours, upon hours of practice. I started learning classical guitar at 7, & classical violin at 9.
Not at all. He was gifted by God and not need to practice at all. All he needs is to memorize the notes
This speed and note clarity is pure world class
Search for “Agua e Vinho Tomatito” and enjoy ultra ultimate world class x2 😅
Vinsu Karma lol what ever the hell you said
@@TranTrungVideo He means other great flamencists are on this level but Tomatito ain't one. I'd partially agree, I mean clarity of sound generally isn't exactly what flamenco guitarists are known for (I can say it, I struggle with it too and I can't even dream of entering a speed contest with those guys xD), some techniques even ecnourage a bit of buzz after all. And Flamenco isn't a virtuoso kind of genre (solo guitar flamenco isn't even a thing since it's singing that lies at its center)
Sk0lzkiy I like your avatar, It expresses my emotion now
Jeronimmo Maya is the most complete guitarist alive in my opinion.
wow. impressive!! this inspired me to sell my guitar!
OMG HAHAHAH
That's unfortunate 😔 keep playing.
Make guitar your life like this guy and you could be as good as him.
Why did you sell it?
YOU MOST SMASH IT
@@danielelwyn3065 its true. To achieve this speed you practice. And be obssessed with speed.
This guy = one of the the best masteries of economy of motion I've ever seen
He has, doesn't he? I am mesmerized by how level and relaxed his shoulders are, to give just one detail of his posture. He is the Roger Federer of the classical guitar.
Speaking as a professional classical guitarist myself, this is one of the most freakish and wonderful things I have ever seen.
This is clearly the result of years of perfect practice and absolute God given talent. You sir are beyond wonderful. Thank you maestro for sharing your gift with You Tube, where old truck drivers like me can experience a first class performance while doing a ten before rolling again. Be well sir.
Working class hero is something to be
Thank you sir for your vital service to the nation. God bless and keep you
@@joekail8031 You are very welcome sir. It sounds very cliché at this point in our lives, but we are truly in this everyday life thing together my brother. I believe that all of us doing our little thing in life is helpful to make the big picture move along just a little bit better. I am absolutely no one, but together, all of us (you, me, everyone) makes this society move towards a smooth cohesion in a successful society. I believe that we all need each other to make this life thing a little better, and I truly believe that none of all of this will truly work well without God showing us the way. May you be well Joe, and may God bless you in this COVID-19 world my brother. Take care.
Weston knight, you are an enlightened individual and the influence you have to those you come in contact with, whether it be in person or in a seemingly little UA-cam post, is priceless. Be safe friend and God bless
@@joekail8031 I only know enough to know that I know nothing at all my brother. 1 Corinthians 3:19 lets us know that we really are not wise or smart at all when it comes to anything. I just try to read and learn Joe, and the more I read, the dumber I actually know that I actually am my brother. No false modesty, just the realization that I'm in no way special, just someone (like everyone else on the planet who was born in sin and shapen in iniquity) John 8:21, 24, but like everyone else, was given the gift of salvation through the one and only Son of God. I know that I am in no way worthy, but I am truly greatful for the opportunity given to us all. Thank you for your kind words Joe, and may God bless you and your family as you go through this COVID-19 world my brother. Be well Joe. 🤓

The musicianship and quality of instruments makes me proud too play this instrument. Sublime work all round.
I agree. I feel proud when I tell people I play classical guitar. Even though I'm at the intermediate level. It's still well beyond what most people could ever imagine.
There are no worlds to explain the impeccable musicianship and virtuoso performance Celil Refik Kaya, whose hands glide the fingerboard and extract all the delicate harmonies with flawlessly precision and sensibility. I am mesmerized by his left-hand perfect posture that serves like a violin’s bow and allows the right hand the freedom to dazzle us with such dexterity, clarity and tonality. It is quite a feat to play Paganini’s Caprice on the guitar which emulates the fluidity of the fret-less violin fingerboard when playing fast chromatic scales passages. This performance reminds us the instrument that Andres Segovia described as a “miniature orchestra.” I am glad that Andres Segovia’s 1969 Ramirez guitar comes to life by being played by this incredible musician. Thanks for sharing this gem!
Inanilmaz! Bravo!
Yillar once o binanin kapisinda Cordoba guitars yazisini gorunce zili caldim adamlar actilar kapiyi. Iceri girdim. 5 dakika sonra biri kimi aramistiniz dedi. Baktim icerde ciddi toplanti donuyor. Dedim ben burayi gitar dukkani sanmistim. Adamlar benim heyecanimi gorup o arkada asili olan gitarlar da dahil bir suru gitari denememe ve o odada yarim saat gitar calmama izin vermislerdi. Gozlerim dola dola calmistim. hey gidi hey...
No words can express how glorious this music is, composition as well as interpretation.
NOW THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. Just started seriously adding my third finger into the mix. I am always silently jealous of how many horn players (sax in particular) and piano players are able to blaze through spectacular runs for extended durations. This is just further confirmation that anything is possible with the proper technique and, of course, tireless of effort.
Guitar will always be special. Coasting through 4+ note voicings at this speed is just glorious.
You can start using your pinky too, practice rasgueo.. it'll be very useful even if you never play flamenco, your right hand dexterity will increase considerably. Remember to start very slowly, think about the movement carefully. Right hand techniques such as tremolo and rasgueo can get rusty very easily, so it's a good idea to practice them every day.
The clarity and note precision is astounding!
Every note is so clean, even the high ones, a true maestro!
Mr. Kaya plays like I play in my dreams! Thank you for reaching perfections most players have failed to reach.
Genius word is falling short... May Lord bless you and bless humanity through your music
This guy is incredible. Haven't heard Paganini as good as Tilman Hoppstock until this beast 10/10. Not familiar with anyone's else recording of the Gismonti piece off hand but Berta Rojas and that is a magical piece played beautifully in contrast to the speed and tempos of the Barrios and Granados.
Me too
@@umutozturk2444 there s no to say me too xD
Classical shred! LOVE it! Especially with perfect modulation and dynamics.
Combination of superior technical & interpretive skills by CRefik Kaya combined with outstanding guitars is really a treat. Every time I see him play he waters my eyes. He has remarkable talent.
Great Talent. Finally a guitarist has feeling for rythm, speed, feeling and clean teqnique same time. Bravo
Magnificent. Clearly the result of incredible hard work and immense talent.
Vaya pedazo de guitarrista! Tenía bastante sin que me sorprendiera un intérprete. Una limpieza y un tempo tan precisos que recuerdan a los mejores momentos de John Williams.
Beyond virtuosity, really astounding guitarist. Not just impeccable technique, but amazing interpretations too. His musicality is not of this earth. We are lucky to witness and enjoy the music that this young man is giving us all.
He has to be the most gifted, most musical guitarist on the planet. He is also incredibly humble . And a fantastic teacher ! Found him through tonebase and love every wonderful helpful lesson!

Talento inmenso el de Celi, talento inmenso también el de los compositores, talento inmenso el de los artesanos que nos ofrecen estas espléndidas guitarras.
I've seen so many classical guitarist so far, but never seen one like this. Sir, you are Beyond EXCELLENT !
A beautiful player of the instrument.
All 3 sound great and are played to perfection by this master.
Words fail me. Truly shocking talent and technique. I salute you Celil.
Technique space, while delivered and high-quality sound. Great Performances.
I don't know if I have words to justly describe what I've just heard. To quote B.B. King "That's about as good as I've ever heard it!" Possibly the finest expression of the classical guitar ever!
So wonderful to hear the different character of each guitar, like a different person singing each song.
wonderful playing and a wonderful sound -- thanks for such an inspiring upload -- (and congratulations to the video director for occasionally breaking the rule that one should never show both hands of a guitarist at the same time)
Wow!
Often when you hear Paganini's 5th Caprice it doesn't sound like music, but more like a struggle or exercise in speed and precision.
This is one of the best versions I've ever heard and it's entirely listenable and enjoyable to behold.
EDIT: HANDS DOWN the best version of Paganini's 5th on the guitar.
Fantastic!
SUPERB MASTERY OF THIS INSTRUMENT's TECHNIQUE: SPEED AND SOUND CONTROL AND EXPRESSIVENESS! CHAPEAU
What a good quality sound! You've paid the price, and now, you just deserve being watched for millions of people! Great job!
Marvelous ...AND thx for transportng classic guitar in this !!! Level
Thanks for listening!
I don't understand how you could press dislike, the shear spectacle alone is worth 5 likes. His sound reminds me of early Williams (like really early).
Ignore it, all YT videos automatically get 1-2% dislikes from the mindless trolls.
Bots.
Blessed with wonderful hands for the instrument. The rest is his own doing. Inspirational performances , all.
simply the pinnacle of classic guitar... more than amazing
that last song is incredible, so smooth
Often these kind of pieces can sound a little compromised in some places due to the nature of the guitar - but this is just pure perfection. Amazing.
All I can think is "what is the intelligence it takes to produce this sound?" God Bless you for you are one of His own!
I'm at a loss for words adequate enough to describe his excellence, thank you - truly amazing
The smoothness is prolific. Making Turkey proud.
Such a great performance, amazing talent and unique precision. Well done my dear young and gifted fellow citizen. We are proud of you :)
Amazing talent. Bravo Celil. My favorite out of the four is the last piece. What a delicate touch and feeling!
I love the clarity of the player!!!! Bravo 👏👏👏👏 so much feeling too
I' m so proud to have a talented and hardworking artist like you! You proud of us Celil Refik Kaya😌 Hope more people witness your art beauty💕🇹🇷
So grateful to witness the absolute limits of human dexterity...carry on...
The sacrifice this chap made to play at this level, many people don’t realize.
I know as I was in my room practicing while my friends were out playing and having fun.
I was eight at the time.
Amazing skill set. He has it down and plays with amazing precision and emotion. Bravo!
Look at his eyes. His eyes are always looking into the future. Part of his masterful technique. Look at the video again and see if you can notice this.
This man is a rare and extremely gifted talent. He started playing when he was just 6 (six years old!). There is much more "to it" than just practice. You can practice 24 hours a day and never come close to reaching this level of playing. Look at his hands. They were created to perform like this. Also, consider his mind. There resides the greatest, most precious gift of all. Practice, practice, practice, too. You will have no social life. But, without the mental and physical attributes, you'll never even be on the road that leads to the ballpark that sounds "something like" this amazing guitarist. Rock, jazz, steel string acoustic, etc. etc......not even in the same galaxy as this player....and they never will be. I'm not saying there aren't very gifted players in other genres, but this...this is the essence of true guitar. Very few players, if any, could ever come close to this musician.
You're kinda erroneously disencouraging anyone who picks up an activity with a low IQ or physical disadvantages. Who are you to say anyone is incapable of achieving whatever it may be that they'd like to in their lifetime?
I feel you may be projecting your own insecurities about not achieving your own goals, and also telling yourself (likely) you're not able to achieve certain things you truly dedicated yourself to.
This is often justified by self depricating thoughts.
Anyone could do anything if they put their minds too it. Thats what makes us human. The problem is that so few do.
Too many people feel degraded rather than inspired by acts of greatness like this. I hope that will change one day.
@@joshwilliams1698 you're kinda readin waaaaaay too much into my reply there Josh.
@@joshwilliams1698 sorry there Josh, old buddy. didn't mean to assault your sensibilities. I was merely responding to some of the comments. many people replying negatively about not achieving the level of playing demonstrated in this video sequence. I was only pointing out this player is at a level not attainable by most people. I don't care how determined one is or how much time they devote to practice. this is a one in million talent and I was only recognizing that fact. hoping to help some people realize not just "anyone" can attain musicianship on this level. I certainly wasn't trying to discourage anyone from trying. You sound like a Biden supporter. Am I right?
Always entranced by the sound of Ramirez Guitar. Beautiful Warm Sound and not to mention being played by this Maestro.
The last song is very beautiful. Probably the hardest to play of the 4. Glad i stayed for it. He put a lot into it. It should be first honestly.
Tebrikler,bizim ülkeden birini böylesi muazzam performas ile bizzat burada dinlemek harikulade,yüreğinize sağlık...
Wow...ridiculously good playing!!
I think the tones and the emotion he's producing is just as amazing as his speed. Calling him fast doesn't make it justice. Beautiful musician. I have no doubt he'll be a celebrated master guitarist. Tebrikler
WOW! Fantastic!!! I cannot imagine the guitar can be played at such a fast and melodious pace🙏
Very cool! Thats alot of hardwork.
It sure is!
Celil Refik Kaya! I love all of his lessons tonebase.com and think he is an amazing teacher as well as guitarist.
He does a lesson on Mangore's Prelude in D minor and it was made my performance of it so much more expressive and captivating.
The clarity and note precision is in another level
Beautiful performance on amazing guitars! Thank you !
I was pretty impressed with the 3rd one, but I wanted to wait till I heard the last one before I picked the winner. The moment the first note was played, I knew that was it. When I saw the “do you like this guitar” prompt, I clicked it. OMG, an “ex Segovia”! I felt that my ears did have a pretty good taste about guitar. LOL.
Faster than most of people's wifi signal speed
😂 Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!
😂😂
lol he's on that 5G level
😂
This is amazing!! Thank'you for such a sublime gift
So glad I found this..amazing crisp performances...
Possessed by the very soul of Paganini himself!!
This guy must be practicing 40 hours a day!
LingLing practice
40 hrs For 200 years.
I know him when he was just 9 years old, and he was playing very very good classic pieces... He is a genius. One of the best guitarist of Turkey
that is a mental myth......you can master that in a year with sheer dedication......ok let's say 3 years 1 year for intermediate......then other likewise pieces would become easier to master.
Jaja se la maman
Dude's going into speed metal realm right here. Sounds so clear on every note. Beautiful!
Wonderful! Mind-boggling but, more important, soooo musical. Thank you, Mr. Kaya.
51 people's brains don't work fast enough to keep up with his playing.
Que guitarras, puede anunciar sus precios y que tipos de madera hace ese bello sonido....y el guitarrista cómo se llama y de que planeta viene....?
Wow!!!!,!,, just brilliant Mr. Refik. Your virtuosity is undeniable, no to mention the velocity expressed in these beautiful and so difficult guitar works. Congratulations; honestly, one of the best actually in the guitar world, no doubt about it. Thank you for allowing us enjoy of your knowledges of this eternal instrument. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dr. Kaya le quisiera agradecer por mantener la memoria del gran Agustín Barrios Mangoré viva. El vive en cada canción suya que suena de nuestras guitarras. Gracias.
wow - makes my guitar playing look like a five year olds. Oh, but some 5 years can play much better than me. Nice though to know someone can play like this. Beautiful. Magnificent.
bir türkü böyle görmek gurur verici :,)
Fantastic performance by Celil, one of the best I've seen, but the last piece 'Agua e Vinho' is so hauntingly beautiful! Gave me goosebumps! Awesome!
I really LoVE Celil. His Barrios and Morel albums are stunning!
Extraterrestial talent. Only a non human brain could memorize as many notes and recall them at the speed of light.
Bro chill, you gonna start a fire on that fretboard.
Excellent, flawless, inspiring! Thank you
He plays Las abejas so cleanly and clearly. So effortless. 👏🏼
Go Cecil ! 1 of the Best composers on earth
:28 to :38 is that guitar riff/duel from Crossroads(1986) .. 'cuttin' heads!'
@WATER-MAN Oh absolutely, the whole piece that Vai interprets is perfect to my ears!
It’s called Paganini’s 5th Caprice.
Absolutely wonderful player and his beautiful classical guitar 🎸
Fast yet clear and crisp...wow!
You have to dedicate a portion of your life to play at this level. It takes many years to do this
not everyone can do this no matter the length of practicing
I learned to do this in one day and found it quite boring so I quit. 😁
@@anthonysinclair5721 Prove it
Time to start shooting in 60fps yo.
I could see this guy auditioning for a top school and have the interviewers ask “you’re applying for teaching right?”😂
It's like life and death so beautiful and completely flawless execution.
That very last piece. OMG how beautiful is that? Never heard it before. Wow.
And here I am thinking I'm a badass learning Autumn Leaves from Joe Pass note for note. I will get back to Mangore as soon as I finish what I'm learning from Lauro. La Ultima Cancion has always been a favorite.
@Vinsu Karma Lol I had a feeling someone would say that. It's just that Paganini OP seems like it takes a little more work. I think this one scared me away from Paganini ua-cam.com/video/hte20E74Ikc/v-deo.html
Oh shit, I just realized I used to play the Crossroads version from Ry Cooder. Guess I'm part way there already.
Well we are talking about two different worlds. This is a wonderful performance. It is playing written music in an extraordinary way. Technically speaking the execution of this music is thousands times more difficult than joe pass autumn leaves. But at least in theory if you play jazz you should not only play others music, but you should be able to arrange your own music. Understanding what you are playing and why. The challenge is in your head and ears rather than in your fingers. Your comment makes me believe that you do not have this aspect totally clear in your mind.
Joe Pass was a virtuoso. Anyone who can play his stuff is a badass in my book
@@thinkpad20 Right? Comparing Joe Pass to Kaya is like comparing A mechanical pencil that can change colors to a replica of a quill pen.
Çok güzel 👍👍👍
Emre Sabuncuoglu da siz de çok başarılısınız
Just wonderful musicianship and technical facility. Bravo!
Superb Technique
Super fast, but clean and full of emotion
He's one of the best
He looks at his left hand like an innocent bystander.
6:29 impossible stretch. now I can't type with my left hand after trying.
The last piece blew me away. Gosh what a superb performance
Прекрасное исполнение. Хорошая школа и проникновенное звучание. Молодец! Браво!
