Eliot Fisk: classical vs electric guitar

[@NORDT]

40 years ago I was a student of John Major at CSUS. John told me to attend a master class in Davis Ca. being held by this fellow Elliot Fisk. Never heard of the guy but I figured he must be good. I recall walking up to the front door of a modest residence where the master class was held and Eliot opening up the screen door playing scales with the guitar in his free hand.Later that evening we met at a different at different residence for a recital. I paid one dollar and sat 5' in front of Eliot for an hour. God he must have been all of 26 then. I'm 70.

I think this video should have been titled ‘Elliot Rambles’

Love this man and was my very first concert when he played my middle school in 70s

[@videotrexx]

And what middle school would that have been, since in the early 70s I saw him 5 days a week on my high school bus.

[@worldstallestdrummer]

@@videotrexx late 70s for me, LMS 1979 but not sure

[@alandana]

I appreciate your videos. Your videos on scales are nice. Thank you! Alan

[@Soytu19]

Yes, they are almost the opposite. From the one hand totally rawn and from the other totally amplified.

I saw this rascal in Jacksonville fl. One time. He is a beast!!

[@videotrexx]

I saw him 5 days a week on my high school bus back in the early 70s.

[@JonDunnmusician]

[@terencegibson9270]

to me eliot fisk looks a bit like woody allen great guitarist, loved the paggannini caprices, also liste to antonio de innocentis play the caprices, he is also great

[@MrLandale]

He looks like a mix of Woody Allen and Bill Gates 🙂

I didn’t realize that Andy Dick knew so much about guitar.

[@ciarraibuzz]

I saw Eliot Fisk at Sprague Hall at Yale. Far out.

WTF Does Jimi Hendrix and the electric guitar have anything to do with racism? He was loved by many people and was highly successful.

[@cihad2003]

Where did he learned german?

[@Ivan1burnf4ces]

i always wondered 'how the hell does someone who plays like that talk/think' was not disappointed by this video

[@mctwain5319]

Although what he did with Paganini 24 was great for classical nylon guitar. I found it a robotic boring bland autistic transcription, considering it was done to death on a violin over and over . I preferred the sound of this shredder that disappeared named Bernd Steidl wtf happened to him? He actually wrote his own music! Was a composer! Not just a typical OCD guitarist

How did we get to your politics? Boring.
