Debussy - Clair de Lune, Solo for Electric Guitar

[@chuckandtom1]

A piece composed in 1908, played so beautifully on an instrument unknown at that time. I'm sure audiences in 1908 would have thought an electric guitar as vulgar (if they could conceive of one) and many modern guitarists wouldn't consider studying Debussy. Here they meld so wonderfully. If only the extremists of the world could see the beauty of coming together despite differences. It is not a black and white world in which we exist. This is a small yet wonderful example of what can come from of an open mind that is not afraid to explore, and consider things from another perspective.

KZbin comment when guy play song 🤯🤯🤯

[@FabianoCosta-ei9tr]

Obrigado. ... Ótimas ideias. Mas observe como são as coisas em sua dinâmica e forma(!). Não sei se você sabe,mas Debussy era amigo de Monet, e ambos fizeram cada um ,um trabalho artístico,quando foi inundado um vale para a construção de uma represa,e restava uma velha igreja que foi inundada ao desviarem o curso das águas para aquele lugar.Debussy compôs uma peça musical,e Monet um quadro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHK5qn56ediAadUsi=Ara0JTcIAoqUuiKp Quanto aos ditos "extremistas" que se referiu, cada um tem sua escala de valores,mas devemos compreender que o valor esta no bom senso em distinguir aquilo que te é pertinente,sem usurpar ou vilipendiar a possibilidade do próximo em suas diferenças,dentro de uma respeitabilidade possível, nessa permuta que possa ocorrer ao relacionar-se com esses aspectos. Sendo Muçulmano, acredito e confio na vibroturgia que atribuo ao meu caráter,e tudo que eu direciono com amor nesse Sagrado torna-se manifesto nos traços da minha personalidade. Surata Al 'Imran, versículo 133: "Apressai-vos em obter a indulgência do vosso Senhor e um Paraíso,cuja amplitude é igual à dos céus e da terra,preparado para os tementes." ... Obrigado pelo som,e pelo comentário. Salam! 🧔😃😉👍🏻☝🏻🙏🏻📖🕋🕌📿✨ kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3Osi3mZfcmjq7csi=BcF_sqkQbflc6pVp

The Telecaster came into existence shortly after though 😂

Incredibly well spoken!

I never heard a telecaster played like that, it's beautiful

Ted Greene, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Ed Bickert, Tim Lerch, etc... All Tele jazz players.

[@johnnymccreery4692]

Barry harris has taught me a lot too.

[@RyanMcQuen]

Definitely hearing some Ted Greene here, which is as high of a compliment as you can get on guitar!

[@guylevinberg1093]

Thanks! the guitarist that inspired me for that kinda mood is Bill Frisel.

[@kidconsumer2411]

This brings back the memories of the olden days around the 1910s when me and my buddy, who is unfortunately not with us anymore, used to sneak out of the work in our factories to go listen Claude DeShlash play this masterpiece of a song, good times.

[@zachturner1242]

Obviously the chords are unreal but honestly the cadence and carefulness in every strum is absolutely insane

[@yoadknux]

why does this guy have just one video? crazy. should be illegal to have this much talent and so few videos

[@stevestann595]

KZbin algorythms favor shit content, as you can see this art is quite the extreme opposite

Sean Angus Watson did a beautiful one as well if I remember well

[@BryanMetcalf-ld7cb]

It's amazing. Also, check out some live videos of Paul Bielatowicz playing it live. Saw him play with carl palmer legacy a few weeks ago. It was mesmerizing, youll love it.

[@nayakharysss]

this never gets old, ty yt algo for bringing me back to this wonderful arrangement

[@mj3299]

Sometimes KZbin offers you the opportunity to see and hear things that are so magnificent it is beyond belief. This rendition of Clair de Lune is so beautiful, it touches my soul. Thank you very much.

[@NateLesser]

Best use of a Tele since Jeff Buckley. Absolutely transcendent - thank you for this intimate recording

The Telecaster in it’s own right is such a beautiful instrument. A Mexican tele was my first and I’ll always at home when I play it but also I hear it be played like this. Just yeah

[@robertodetree1049]

Guy, there are two things I love a lot: Debussy and my Telecaster. But you managed to combine both, and that is amazing. Congratulations!

[@peterney2402]

Top notch first class and i like the cc pickup.

[@Timat-s4n]

Beautiful, I've been looking for examples of electric guitar played this way, seems most electric guitar players are heavily blues influenced but after playing classical and electric guitars for many years I figured somebody out there was also playing so called classical music on electric too. The sustain must make it even trickier to manage the harmonic progression because of over ring. Well done.

[@guylevinberg1093]

Thanks! And yeah you're right sometimes i would put a capo on 1st fret just to avoid the overringing of open strings

[@kyanhhoang9029]

By far this is one of the best electric guitar version. It has the warm and soft tone, which fits the piece very well because the original was a very intimate and peaceful piece. Well done sir.

[@Kendrix_76]

Now I want a tele with a Charlie Christian pickup in the neck! Gorgeous tone AND playing.. wow!

[@johnnysokol719]

Thankyou for adding that final note! This is my favourite classical piece but it pains me that Debussy never wrote it with the final Db note

[@guylevinberg1093]

It's actually transposed to D here but yeah i guess i just couldn't help it

[@__demo]

i found clair de lune, the original version a long time ago. i was going through some really rough times and there was a small community behind the price. a couple years later i decided to learn guitar and now i’m back where i started, listening to the cover of one of my favorite pieces on my favorite instrument. good job man.
