Guajiras de Lucia by Paco De Lucia

[@ClassicalGuitarMusings]

One of the leading classical guitarist

[@michaelmckinney7240]

A powerful display of virtuosity is offered here by Gohar Vardanyan. Her playing brings expression and technical brilliance together in a uniquely musical way that is a pure delight to hear. Her playing is warm and confident and hearing such a player makes one at ease knowing the future of this magnificent tradition of guitar playing is alive and well, thriving in the capable hands of great artists such as Gohar Vardanyan.

[@113A]

Well... that was stunning, Gohar... I’m sure I’ve said it before, but you never fail to raise the bar on human capabilities... certainly one of my all time favourite players...🙏

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you so much 😀 Glad you liked it!!!

[@113A]

@GoharVardanyan “liked” is an understatement, Gohar... “loved it” would be nearer...😊👍

[@rubentrujillo6151]

Gohar buen trabajo! Cómo puedo conseguir la partitura que estás ejecutando?

[@tony89718]

@@rubentrujillo6151I woods like to know the same thing, but I’m sure it is very difficult to play.

[@eltonirias3033]

One of the most wonderful performance of this song I've ever seen/heard, probably the mos t beautiful after Paco's

[@Thefare1234]

Other classical guitarists typically butcher flamenco pieces, but Gohar knows her flamenco. 👏Great soul and technique.

[@garygullikson6349]

Dad was a flamenco guitarist. Beautiful and flawless performance

[@craiglizt8074]

That’s about as good as I’ve ever heard anyone play this song. And the timing was spot on!

[@mehdihz977]

Fantastic, technical transparency and deep emotional movements in Flamenco spirit, love it. Thank you, Gohar.

[@LUISENRIQUEFLOREZ]

hermoso toque. Paco se sentiría feliz de escuchar esa interpretación.

[@FedericoSanguinetti]

As a flamenco guitarist and aficionado, the first thing that comes to my mind is: CONGRATULATIONS! I am a big Paco de Lucía fan, and actually got to see him performing live twice in my life and I have my guitar autographed by him. I know this piece 'Guajiras de Lucía' quite well (I cannot yet play it like you do) and I can say that is one of the best interpretations that I could find on the web. I bumped into it by chance and is big pleasure to get to know you, Gohar. And coming from a classical guitarist, merit is double because you really got the 'duende" and you are capable to play the whole piece keeping the tempo even in the fast or 'difficult' parts. Keep on! Wish to see you playing live soon! Cheers from Uruguay.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you! Yea, playing this on a classical guitar presents an added challenge too, but it's super fun! So it was worth it :)

[@garygullikson6349]

I love most kinds of guitar music: flamenco, spanish classical, south american, country, bluegrass and popular/old standards. The loss of Sabicas, Chet Atkins, Paco and other greats (RIP) was inevitable, they were only human blessed with great talent and determination. We are lucky to have so many great young and long standing guitar greats to enjoy on You Tube. Gohar is an amazing example of young virtuosity.

[@СергейРогайло]

Гохар умница. Великолепно. Я всегда равняюсь на тебя🎉

[@michaelnaughton5413]

Perfect picado and Paco rendition!

[@rodericksibelius8472]

Once a FLAMENCO ADVANCED TECHNICAL DIFFICULT MUSIC as played by a FLAMENCO VIRTUOSO has been transcribed FAITHFULLY into musical notation, Classical Guitarist now can STUDY and play it. BRAVO!!!

[@BeachJazzMusic]

Great playing, Paco would be proud.

[@jessetryon5108]

Paco played like a monster! There will never be another one like him. I could listen to Cositas Buenas every day. Fantastic job! Thank you.

Miss Vardanyan, I have watched your performance here five times in close succession and I still cannot believe what I am seeing and hearing. Your playing is magnificent! I have to watch it again.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@jairoprofessor]

Bravo!!! Miss Gohar, you honor the memory of the unforgettable Paco de Lucía! I wish the best for you! Thank you for the wonderful interpretation.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much!

[@sammyjava]

Wonderful flamenco, Gohar! RIP Paco, a shame he died as young as he did. I had the fortune of seeing him perform several times in his "youth" in the 70s and 80s.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Yes it is! Way too young. I saw him in April 2001 in NYC and in November 2013 in Buenos Aires. It was incredible

[@sammyjava]

@@GoharVardanyan Wow, you saw him just three months before he died!!!

[@GoharVardanyan]

@@sammyjava yup 😢

[@Vikotnick]

Very good! You played the GOAT's song as well as anyone could!

[@hochweber1]

Congratulations, Gohar! Many years ago I transcribed this piece by ear, but I was never able to play it at an appropriate speed.

[@HBSuccess]

No doubt some of your best playing to-date - just great BRAVO !

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you!

[@dmf1782]

Paco is looking at her from the heaven proudly 😂😂❤❤

[@alfie8177]

thats a very difficult one. thats hard work and discipline. respect

[@whyteian]

Wow! Gohar your performance of this Paco de Lucia classic is fantastic. Brava!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thanks for listening

[@TomasJimenezFlamencoGuitarist]

Great joy to hear this. Superb technical and senstive interpretation of this virtuoso piece. Once again Gohar Vardanhyan shows the highest standard in guitar playing.

[@markcampbell6089]

A technical tour de force. So impressive Gohar! Glad to see you playing a piece by one of your guitar heroes! Thank you!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you Mark! it's nice to hear from you! It's a super fun piece to play. I learned it as a teenager but never polished it. Abandoned it for years, occasionally going back to it and abandoning it again. haha... Finally decided to sit down and do the work necessary to make it playable. hahaha

[@enricospano2452]

how long does it take to learn this piece on the guitar? months? years?

[@enricospano2452]

to be clear how many years of study does it take to learn this piece? maybe at 85 i can do it i'm 63

[@1142mt]

That was just extraordinary. Once again your flawless technique and virtuosity has left me in awe.

[@abeljimenez4161]

Beautiful execution......

[@bossanovaboy]

Great tone and performance!

[@kalvados_kalvadosov]

Браво!!! Я поражен. Обычно классики не тянут фламенко в правой руке, а тут...А пикадо какое шикарное 👏👏

[@GoharVardanyan]

Спасибо. Когда я только начинала, я играла фламенко и классику, но перешла только на классику в 13 лет. Пикадо так и осталось от детство.

[@MrDevecka]

absolutely brilliant and clear: all the techniques used: piccados of enormous spead and clarity, arpeggios the same. this piece is a horror for memorizing, not to say for playing this. absolutely amazing dead miss - from now on I am your devoted fan and goona watch all of your vids.

[@berto239]

This is my favourite version of this piece till now, thank you very much for showing us your art, I love all of your renditions, plenty of technique and good taste, whatever the style. 💕

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much!

[@LeonardoRozasVillegas]

Beautiful rendition, you maintain the rythm and tempo even in the more difficult passages, which is not an easy achievement when playing the Guajiras. You have made it shine! Congrats. 👏👏👏

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you! Yea, lot's of metronome practice with this one, but it's more fun to keep the time, makes it more lively.

[@salomondegranada3059]

@@GoharVardanyan creo que eres guitarrista clásica (yo guitarrista flamenco), pero a quien nos gusta la guitarra nos enamora su sonido en cualquier estilo. Hay otro tema también de Paco de Lucia, que tu limpeza y técnica debe sonar lindo, lo digo como sugerencia por si lo miras e interpretas... se llama ZAPATEADO

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you. Yes, I know the piece, Percusion Flamenco, I used to play it in the past. I will mostly likely relearn it. It's been a few years since I last played it. :)
