Gnossienne No. 1 by Erik Satie

Antonio López plays Satie on an eight-string guitar

[@TimothyCampling]

By far the best interpretation of Gnossienne no. 1 that I have ever heard on guitar. Serene, heartfelt and deep. Beautiful sound.

[@antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much for your comnments!!! It's so heart-warming to find them when I open this page, thanks!

[@PKWise]

An incredible performance that is unparalleled on You Tube. The feeling that he puts into that instrument is awe inspiring. The fact that its a Spanish 8 string twist neck is even more outstanding!

[@HonkityTiddlefish]

I was certain this was solely a piano piece. No other instrument could effectively convey the emotion. I was so very wrong. This is one of the best performances I've ever heard of this piece. Actually speechless.

[@Midifez]

Mi pieza favorita de Satie... podría oirla todo el dia. GRACIAS.

[@85Dragonball]

you're such an unique guitar player. so much feeling without rushing it. It's about the pure music and not showing off the skill. that's just amazing

[@antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much for your comment!!

[@dilibau]

absolutely mesmerizing... I actually began to applaud after this, just out of instinct, evne though I was at home alone. Magnificent interpretation, not too fast, not too slow, true to the original. Congratulations!

[@armieofone8763]

this is the best guitar performance of this song on KZbin- and I think I've listened to them all. Bravo! :)

[@Counterpoint999]

by far the best interpretation I ever heard ...

[@toodleoo88]

This particular Erik Satie piece, always makes my cry. This amateur guitarist is TRULY BRILLIANT and yet has to be discovered !

[@antoniolopezp]

You know something? To me that is more of an in-door piece. Very introverted, closer to the moon than to the sun. Thanks for the comment.

[@antoniolopezp]

muchísimas gracias por los comentarios. De todo corazón. Antonio

[@sreed1s]

The sheer beauty of it is akin to nectar for the ears and mind.

[@journeytoaphotograph]

Outrageous performance, I can stand Satie played by no other after hearing this. Only other musician I can think of with feels like that is Dee Armstrong who plays with Kila.

[@antoniolopezp]

The guitar was built by Abel Garcia from Paracho, Mexico. The tunning for this particular piece is A E B G D A E A Saludos

[@louloufinch8699]

I always adored that piece played by piano, never knew it would be so beautiful by guitar too! Magnificent! Siempre adoré Esa pieza interpretada por el piano, no sabía que sería tan hermosa de la guitarra también! Magnífico!

[@labalou]

Hola Antonio, tocas excellente Erik Satie es uno de mis compositores preferidos! te queria preguntar en donde puedo obtener una guitarra como la tuya o de q forma puedo contactar al señor Abel.Yo soy mexicano de baja california pero tengo ya varios años residiendo en Alemania. Muchas gracias! saludos Luis

[@chacho989]

wooo increible¡¡¡me encanta¡¡no creo k aga falta k yo te lo diga,pero eres un crack¡¡

[@TubeSpoker]

Even with some loss in audio quality, you listen Segovia, it´s Segovia. Well, even with that I do know that this is so far one, or THE BEST interpretation of Gnossienne No. 1 on guitar. Sometimes people as I feel that some songs are not made to be played on some instruments, but the appears a Great, with capital ´g´, interpreter and shows that is as matter of pauses, correct attack, pure feeling.

[@realwata]

@antoniolopezp PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, post a video of this on 6string guitar in standard tuning. You are really the best i can find that plays satie on any stringed instrument. Thanks man,,,

[@estimatedeyes]

Exactly...this is what Satie intended!! You are superb!

[@SolidSnyder]

I don't know much about music...would I need an eight string guitar in particular to adapt this piece from sheet music? Or will my humble six string Ibanez do?

[@jimlappin]

I have only recently started to learn to play the guitar. I am making slow progress, but when I see another human playing like this - this gives me a lot of motivation to keep at it with the hope someday I could be able to play like this. Thank you for this.

[@OlivierRaynaut]

Full of feeling ! Just amazing ! Is there anyway to get your transcrition 'cause I'd like to play it really a lot ? Thank you anyway for your performance.

[@antoniolopezp]

I can´t thank you enough for your comment, thank you thank you!!!! I´ll be uploading more Satie very soon. Antonio

[@jahfish42]

TAB is available free on the internet. But it won't show the intricaies of the timing properly! Can be played on a 6 string in standard tuning

[@bluetoad2001]

very enjoyable i listened to Kaori Muraji's version last night. keep up loading Satie. his stuff is beautiful and your playing is great. buzz

[@ZazVocals]

Estoy enamorado! Simplemente hermoso....como es mi Espanol?! hahaha! Sounds amazing on the guitar. That sexy Latin sound... Bravo x

[@Organistcomposer21]

Amazing! I personally think that this is even better than on a piano! I must find a way to play it on my six sring. :-)

[@seanruiz3357]

unbelievable performance,.......the essence of satie beautifully captured.......

[@MarcoAurelio1987]

Is great to know that here in Mexico there are luthiers that can create a World class Guitars. How much was that guitar?

[@SuperFaflon]

omg! I thought that it was not a good idea.. but when I heard first chords... I feel enchanted... greetings from Poland

[@NP30NL]

this piece sounds very good on both guitar and piano, i like the lower notes on a guitar and the higher ones on a piano

[@ColinBurnside]

Oh what can say. Wonderful everything was perfect. Notice you played an 8 string Guitar. Very emotional. Thanx CGSNI

[@igncrdrgz]

well , its great but there are somes "pull off?" -i dont speak english- that could be more simple (or "plain").

[@quaskx]

i've looked at all the guitar versions of this piece on youtube and this is the only one i really like.

[@PyroclasticMind]

masterfull, can it be done to play this piece on a 5 string bass?? I keep getting stuck

[@doe323]

i never heard this on a guitar before,it is dark and meloncholic.... beautiful

[@antoniolopezp]

The traditional tunning should work nicely. Thanks for your comment

[@ChiniReynoso]

wow! Impresionante! me encanta!! Perfecto!! un saludo desde Barceloka!

[@antoniolopezp]

It's not difficult to play it on a six-string. It works fine too.

[@sirismelendez1658]

Man... That was amazing it looked like he was on the verge of tears throughout the performance.

[@1cleandude]

Antonio: You were born for the G 1 and 3 pieces. Bravo!!! David

[@Charles3x7]

You don't happen to have a recording of this piece on CD or Mp3 do you?

[@kidgloves2]

VERY nice! May I ask who makes your guitar and how you tune it?

[@onarix]

What are the advantages of having a twisted neck, like on your guitar?

[@lizanne749]

Ive got a 20 string guitar, its rubbish its far too big :) :)

[@arfpunkyfuk]

outstanding.......absolutely outstanding Antonio López you are the man !

[@antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much. I'm very flattered by your comment.

[@antoniolopezp]

I don't know what a Warr guitar is... sorry Antonio

[@maycolombia]

wow, not as chilling as Satie in piano, but still lovely

[@Dracapalley]

Thank you very much. You're truly an inspiration!

[@spookybuk]

great thanks a lot

[@FractalBolt]

My god, this was so nice!

[@fractuss]

Shivers down the spine...

[@antoniolopezp]

It's an instrument invented by Paul Galbraith and David Rubio. It has, besides the traditional 6 strings, a higher string tuned to 'a' and a lower bass string tuned to 'a'. Thus, the tunning for this Gnossienne is: a e b g d a e a Antonio

[@Hammerandoz666]
