Ah yes, the elusive and mysterious Glushovka...

I am a violinist and this is so much better than I could have possibly imagined it would be on any other instrument. Holy shit your clarity, musicianship, speed, and tone are just. Incredible

Best version of this I’ve ever heard on guitar. Fantastic job!

[@brunoalves3958]

Absolutely nailed it.

[@djenii2020]

Охренеть можно! Какой талантливый виртуоз!

[@yjmsrv]

Holy crap I can't believe you pulled this off so well- not even too much gain on it. I love you're staccato muting too- the dynamics are just perfect. This sounds so true to the violin version- I just didn't believe it would be possible with the leaps and no bow to pull this difficult of a piece off this well on guitar. I mean Eliot Fisk does a great job and is very impressive on classical with all 24 caprices- but this is at a different level and I prefer it greatly.

[@stevesheroan4131]

While this is a more “fun” rendition for myself as well, saying it is “on a different level” to Eliot Fisk is just crazy IMO. I’ve been a professional electric guitarist for a while (20+ years) and I studied classical guitar in college. It’s a different skillset, but I could at least dream of covering this rendition, where Fisk’s version is something I still can’t believe is possible, even for him.

[@jz4901]

Incredible playing, I am still processing what I just saw. Your picking is effortless and elegant. Your control of the tempo and dynamics really adds to the playing - there are lots of fast players, but it often feels robotic. Wow, I can’t say enough good things about this. And the tone is clean enough to really keep the playing sharply in focus, nothing hiding, no tricks, just razor sharp playing from start to finish. Thanks and regards! Jz

dude what the, your syncopation between left and right hand is incredible. not a single bum note. the pick is perfectly scraping, your twist technique is perfect. incredible technique my friend

[@allboutthemojo]

No words. Can't even begin to describe what i see and hear. 👌

[@patrickwolf5796]

A whole lot different than the movie Crossroads. Way better and flawless as well as the actual piece, not all chopped up and made for hollywood. Me bowing down to you!

I would like you to go someday to the United States and visit Troy Grady, he invited to you to talk with him you speak english very well :D You are the best guitarrist of the world for me. Your right hand is amazing.

There are great and incredible alternate picking guitar players, but Anton is the best, I haven't seen anyone playing these incredibly difficult themes with such a effortless technique.

[@2361dcw]

He brutally mogs every last one of these so-called virtuosos. Lmfao

[@danielst-germain1728]

Indeed, Anton is the absolute best. No one is even close. I am almost completely recovered from focal dystonia, so I will signup to his Guitar academy pretty soon.

[@ariehandoko6806]

Agree. Anyway please also check out Roy Marchbank, it wil blow you away 😅

[@leeberkins4929]

@@ariehandoko6806 lmao Anton once laughed in his academy chats on Roy, cause Roy fakes his playing, he isn't actually playing that fast, he just moves fingers on the fretboard and his fingers aren't playing notes that you hear in his videos lol. Anton is a real guitarist and Roy is just a fraud lol

[@ariehandoko6806]

@@leeberkins4929 so how about the live streaming? Is it also fake? Dont get me wrong, Anton is also my favorite guitarist.

[@josueesteban7783]

So much musicality in your performance!

[@thecommenter9267]

This guy is an absolute monster that seems to have beat the game known as "guitar". First of all there are maybe a handful of people who can do one-note-per string alternate picking (used to be only Steve Morse), including this guy. Not only that, he has full control of the dynamics of playing (very difficult to do on guitar), and can play at probably 300bps+ with 100% accuracy. I don't know if there's a single piece of music out there on any instrument that he wouldn't be able to cover. I've played guitar for close to 20 years and this guy's skill is about as close to a machine as I've ever seen. Virtuoso among virtuosos. Superhuman beyond imagination.

[@armandom28]

There’s sweeping in this arrangement

[@intervalkid]

Super precise and snappy. Must have been playing over 5 hours a day for awhile. At the original and intended tempo of 160bpm. Most classical players play it at 133. Good show!

[@gitarmats]

When god wants to improve his picking technique, he takes lessons from Anton Oparin.

Наконец кто-то сыграл правильно и мастерски!! BRAVO!!

[@pahan3335]

а остальные сыграли неправильно?

[@norfanta]

@@pahan3335 ну, да: не сыграны, обычно, во вступлении две фигуры, ведь высоко на гитаре, ноты жеваные, темп низкий, лиги не сыграны и т.п. я к детальному разбору не готов. Да, еще есть в нотах пометки о настроении, драматургии того или иного отрезка- тут я это слышу, как и в оригинале для скрипки, где тоже не все хорошо играют технически, а эмоционально каждому в каждый момент свое.

[@pahan3335]

@@norfanta здорово,а теперь видео где играют конкретно неправильно и хотелось бы увидеть как ты "правильно" это играешь,а то знаешь ли перд перд,пук пук,среньк среньк и тд я уже видел

[@norfanta]

@@pahan3335 сразу оговорюсь: на взгляд пусть и искушенного слушателя не сработает это услышать... я вот пока пишу снова слушаю- идеально! разве что один момент пропущен, но это частый старый прием,, добавлено немного от себя (когда учишься и добавляешь свое нужно объяснить творческую мысль; тут я бы сказал, что эти 2 бенда отражают суть электрогитары и перегруза, отлично, не много). Так вот: чтобы увидеть так или не так нужно или ноты оригинала держать перед глазами или их знать на СВЕЖУЮ память. Когда слушают, предположим, произведение на мастерклассе люди, которые всю жизнь его играли, но вот последние годы его нет у них в репертуаре, даже тогда побоятся оценивать штрихи и отдельные вопросы фразировки БЕЗ нот в руках (у меня так-же, я 13 лет преподаю только так, хотя по-началу геройствовал, конечно)
