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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 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!
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)
We gossiped with Neşet Ruacan and Raffi Bey and made you sit on the top of the world, dear Celil. I've been following with admiration and proud since I first listened great maestro.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@JoshWilliamsIsG 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?
@beauhatman4395 He is brilliant, absolutely flawless and such a great balance of technique, feeling, and control...but, like many things that deserve wider acclaim, fame, and riches...a kid playing a sloppy version of Highway to Hell will attract way more people than this virtuoso. Sad truth I'm afraid. Very few of these guitarist ever write their own music or survive without teaching or small concerts at churches or art galleries for little money. Whereas a sloppy unkept mess of a kid can change the world. Classical guitarists are basically human jukeboxes, and no amount of "interpretation" makes someone else's piece their own. Classical musicians survive on playing music "in the public domain" because they can't afford to record still protected music without paying licenses for that music. The rarest of players write, as Sergio Assad, and others that contribute music to the repertoire. You my friend are too dazzled by some perceived "dont bother" level to the point of groupieness than just enjoying the actual music. Rock guitar suffered from this "faster is better" mentality as well with human musical typewriters taking dictation in front of small audiences. This gentleman is phenomenal, but 99% of a listening audience can't tell the difference between these pieces and beginning entry level pieces. When this guy writes the Classical equivalent to Iron Maidens "The Trooper", let me know. Where they are living in mansions in England, this gentleman is scheduling Zoom lessons. Charles Schultz's Peanut characters hang in The Louve, and are just as famous as any painting by the "greats". Music is for EVERYONE, and we all can touch people with even the simplest of pieces from any genre. You are the musical equivalent to a "size queen", always wanting one just as big as the next. In the immortal words of Frank Zappa: "...just Shut Up and Play your guitar."
@@RichardGutierrezRG You, my friend, don't know the first thing about classical guitar or music composition, in general, would be my guess...... Simply by comparing this artist and "highway to hell" proves, unequivocally, you're way out of whatever comfort zone you call home.
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.
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.
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?”😂
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.
@ 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
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.
Celil Refik Kaya is one of the best classical guitarist of Türkiye. (Maybe the best) I am really proud of your god-gifted talent and incredible dedication to classical guitar.
This speed and note clarity is pure world class

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
wow. impressive!! this inspired me to sell my guitar!
OMG HAHAHAH
That's unfortunate 😔 keep playing.

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
Clean and not rushed sounding like so many players out there.
Go Cecil ! 1 of the Best composers on earth
Outstanding technique and musicianship!
51 people's brains don't work fast enough to keep up with his playing.
Very beautiful ...Everything !!!
Faster than most of people's wifi signal speed
😂 Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!
😂😂
lol he's on that 5G level
😂
masterful playing... breath-taking performances!
Extraterrestial talent. Only a non human brain could memorize as many notes and recall them at the speed of light.
I'm at a loss for words adequate enough to describe his excellence, thank you - truly amazing
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.
Wow, some of the best ties for long handed slurs i've ever seen. Very good.
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....?
speed and delicacy blended altogether. Bravo Celil gurur duyduk. Rafi Baba’ya da selamlar👍
Bro chill, you gonna start a fire on that fretboard.
Proud of you my fellow citizen! Greeting s from Istanbul!
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
Amazing skill set. He has it down and plays with amazing precision and emotion. Bravo!
: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.
Amazing!!! So inspiring!!! I hope this guy gets the recognition he deserves for such a hard worked craft!
Camilo Velandia , and I hope that the people who never play this rriff because they can’t play this riff don’t call themselves guitar players.
@@williambudd2630 Ive never played this riff. So I'm not a guitar player?
6:29 impossible stretch. now I can't type with my left hand after trying.
an amazing guitar virtuoso, great guitarist congratulations
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?”😂
Just amazing!
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.
Autumm leaves is hard to play too
@ 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
This is amazing!! Thank'you for such a sublime gift
Çok güzel 👍👍👍
Emre Sabuncuoglu da siz de çok başarılısınız
WOW! Fantastic!!! I cannot imagine the guitar can be played at such a fast and melodious pace🙏
CELİL REFİK KAYA ( TURKS ARE EVERYWHERE AND TALENT 👌🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷)
The clarity and note precision is in another level
My guitar laughed at me and walked out of the room..
Celil Refik Kaya is one of the best classical guitarist of Türkiye. (Maybe the best) I am really proud of your god-gifted talent and incredible dedication to classical guitar.
He’s the best on the entire planet ! WOW 🤩
