It's funny to think that some years ago I watched this video and I thought "Wow! This guy is amazing! I don't know why I haven't heard of him before. JTC should pay more attention to him" without even realizing that he is THE FOUNDER of JTC! It's great to know that the boss is a hell of a player too!

[@slugpumper1]

Shredders take note: - blasting away at a million miles an hour is entertaining for about 5 minutes, this kind of playing is far more memorable. If most of us could play half as well as this guy we would be happy, texture, phrasing, melody, tone - its all here and it's fantastic - Thanks Jan

[@shredacuda]

It's about putting it all together. If you listen to somebody give a speech you don't want Is monotone speaking, You want inflection. Say it loud say it soft, Speed up slow down, Et cetera

[@cogb.9451]

I’m not a guitarist but I would sell my soul to play like this. I have Jan’s album “Guitar Heroes” Guthrie Govan guests on a few tracks as well James Graydon, Alex Hutchings, Clive Caroll and couple more guitarists love the album for all the different styles approached. I’m just the bloke who hangs around musicians, a Drummer I take this approach to playing and listening to music Close my eyes Listen with my ears Feel it with my heart. Jan Cyrka’s playing is perfect for my very simplistic approach, it has feeling to it.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

It’s crazy, but this just got recommended to me, and I am at a point in my playing, where I want to slow down and start falling back on really intricate phrasing rather than just shred solos like I used to do. This piece would be tough for me personally just because I know I’d unintentionally rush a lot of the notes.

[@shantbajac]

Shredders take note: Jan Cyrka can shred too!

[@JTCGuitar]

He has a preamp built into the guitar which boosts the output signal by around four times. This has a low pass filter on it to get rid of the fizzy highs. Combined with the Boss OD-1 and the Laney, and the way he strikes the strings of course, is how he gets that tone. Hope that helps.

[@johnclark1925]

Super, I was wondering if he had put a sustainer in the middle pick up... thanks for clearing that up. 😎🤘

[@kees1705vanwely]

This music is like a warm blanket.

[@xprs1257]

I always come back to Jan Cyrka guitar instrumentals for great tone and playing ability. What a fantastic player.

[@fatalshooter]

I can't help myself, I come back here every once in a while to enjoy this wonderful piece of music, well done Jan !

[@ovidiudumitrescu5898]

True perfection....One of the most perfect and well written composition on guitar....Simply amazing...timeless masterpiece...The technique and sensitive playing...plus tthe fabulous guitar tone....everything is touching perfectionJust perfect...perfect....perfect.

[@waimel08]

He's one of the living proofs that is not necessary to shred for being EPIC!!!

[@delandreese]

Absolutely one of this country's finest musicians. I had the pleasure of meeting him once back in 1999. His music is so inspiring and as a listener it takes you somewhere else.

[@michaljaklik4657]

Wow.I have discovered him then UK.I went to charity shop and there was this CD with him with his guitar on the cover sitting under the tree.I thought I would give it a try and then I was nicely surprised at home.👏🎸👌😀

[@rooguitar]

Still the same Kramer! Jan, you'r the shredder that got the best bends, smart phrasings I ve heard. So glad to hear you. I feel like a kid.

[@frankmerouan3163]

Master of his trade ...the man is a legend.Well for me anyway.He is a legend.

[@iamvillainmo]

I love this jam. This shows that playing fast isn't the only route to beautiful, emotive music from the guitar.

[@dahudge14]

This guy has a very beautiful, ballad-y style of playing. Very impressive.

[@vestel777]

I Freaking LOVE His Kramer guitar.

[@JarekMarekJan]

Jan, your album Beyond the common ground was with me in greatest time in my life, I love it. But this song... its amazing, soulful and... I dont have words to tell this. I cant even imagine how hard to play this song is. You are great. Greetings from Poland!

[@michaljaklik4657]

O jesteś z Polski.Odkryłem tego Pana w UK...Niesamowity jest

[@jaro0515]

ten czlowiek jest wielki!!! idealny przyklad na to ze czasem lepiej zargac pare dzwiekow z niesamowitym feelingiem niz wylac ich tysiace bez serca....

[@Arsene1]

I cannot believe that I discovered him just now !!!!!!!!!!!!! I love his music I am a guitar lover, not a player , but love guitar for the last 50 years . From Jeff Beck, Al di Meola, Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Frank Gambale, Allan Hodsworth, Shaw Lane , Neal Schon etc... And my all time favourite Andrew Latimer. I am looking forward to listening to more of his

[@Zebula77]

I remember playing along to this song endlessly a while back. One of my fave guitar power ballads ever. Good stuff.

[@matiasquinoneros2569]

That fucking guitar is freaking crying!!! i can get enough of this music....best vibrato EVER!

[@dharmonic]

I totally agree with you, his vibrato techniques are amazing

[@jhonsteverodriguez4613]

Jan Cyrka the best guitar solo I've ever heard in my life

[@matijazajc1247]

Amazing tone and control of that nice guitar!!!!! He can shred, yes my friend he can - but in this piece: the heart played! Big like!

[@pvco123]

That song is so beautiful. I've cried when i heard that for the very first time. Completely beautiful.

[@AndyVerok]

the good old Laney+Kramer combo, that nice old Andy Timmons sound, perfect attack, perfect drive sound, love it

[@111chazz]

Same here. This piece just tickles all the right memories. It makes me both smile and cry depending on my mood .

[@111chazz]

Have visited this piece so many times but still love it. Truly a real musician and best thing, so humble but recognised by the lack of self indulgence. A true star in my eyes.

[@cristiancas2008]

less is much more, simple and beautifull, a really melody from heart...

[@vintagetone22]

i listen to this in the 90s and since then ive never stopped playing guitar.thanks jan

[@rapidtranq]

Jan has amazing feel,tone and his whammy-texture work is one of a kind!!

[@creacciona]

So incredible! one of the most beautiful music that I have ever heard. Mr Cyrka, thank you so much!

[@AdamLach69]

A really awesome piece of good guitar performance, amazing impressions. Congratulations! Respect!

[@GuitarsByJordy]

Insane. I remember listening to this masterpiece for the first time 15 years ago and it really blew my mind. The tone, phrasing, pinch harmonics, etc. perfect! I come back to this song al least once a week to get inspired and remind myself you don't have to play 300 notes a second but you need to make sure every note is a hit. Im pretty sure I will come back every week for the next 15 years too. Thanks Jan!

[@PeterBanksGuitarist]

You write such beautiful melodies, Jan. Thanks for many years of inspiration.

[@xprs1257]

Beautiful beautiful music played by a true pro..

[@Marcin79W]

Kocham ten utwór niezmiennie od 15 lat ! Dear Jan. I love this song since I was starting to play the guitar. It was 15 years ago. You have done a lot of beautiful and fantastic music! Thank you a lot!

[@msteele0]

Now that is tone. Phenomenal playing and melody.

[@slowhandplexi]

Jan: absolutely brilliant. Please keep on sharing your playing with us.

[@satch88]

un touché exemplaire !!! une vrai lecon de maitise !!!! j'ai rencontré yan en 1993 a montpellier en france et depuis j'adore !!!!! a touchdown copy magnificent player guitar ! a true lesson of maitise! I met Yan in 1993 at montpellier in france and since I love!

[@111chazz]

Obviously before Guthrie Govan came on the scene but ye! I too love this and think Jan is the man. I like the fact that he is just playing in the mood and not trying to impress as well we know he can play anything. This just has it all for me, I just love it. Peace!

[@cmonsterz]

Beautiful way to make the guitar breathe! Super lyrical playing!

[@koolynoodyano]

this is called pure sustaining awesomeness... what a liquid rock tone love it!!

[@MustangDesudiroz]

most melodic and soulful guitar player.. hands down.

[@pigxstix]

Never heard of Jan Cyrka and came across this video by accident looking at Kramer stuff. 13 years later but hey, that's some fantastic playing. I really enjoyed that.

[@trollstjerne]

Fantastic playing and sound. Beautiful and emotional.

[@maxlepoivre4248]

magnificent melody but what are your sounds and your effects?... please…🤟🤟

[@ezolpa18]

A perfect soul !!

[@spamnegg.1798]

@3.32 -3.49 is just tonal ear wonder. so perfectly elicit and amazin'.

[@rookiemirage]

I get chills as soon as I listen to this solo AMINZING

[@lucagasparella3366]

I agree with your oppinions: this was and is (even more now that I've seen it "live") one of my favourite ballad for guitar. The strong feeling and musicality of this short masterpiece is really hard to reach... ...Many thanks Jan!!!

[@greekfreak1980]

This reminds me of 80's Gary Moore or Michael Schenker ballads,great!

[@pascalb746]

Yes for Gary Moore

[@GibsonFlyingFive]

What an awesome guitarist, will have this track played at my funeral!! I received the cd " Beyond The Common Ground" as a birthday pressie, made turning 50 acceptable!! An absolutely awesome cd for any fan of rock guitar music and by far Jan's best work. Joe Satriani rates him very highly, (his own words). If you ever decide to tour the UK, please come to Cardiff !!!!!

[@Gorbyrev]

Lovely track Jan, and lovely to see a Night Swan. Rare sight these days.

[@maxwellthedog]

Marvelous playing and awesome tone

[@alward5678]

I LOVE MELODIC GUITAR PLAYING LIKE THIS. WOW

[@Zebula77]

Wow, what a find. Had this album back in the day - lost the cd, I'm afraid. Used to play along to this song, as it was my fave. Played along to it right now and most of it was still in my fingers. So cool. :)

[@quadrantium]

great work, love all of jan's music!

[@111chazz]

Love Love Love. What more can one say. Jan's THEE man.

[@domonii]

How can these 44 haters not like such a masterpiece...this question will stay with me probably next 50 years or more...Pozdrowienia z Polski Panie Janie...wielki talent...gratulacje...słucham juz dłuuugo Pańskich płyt...

[@jasonfella265]

Because they are probably Steve Vai or Joe Satriani fanboys who need to see a ton of blazing fast notes to be entertained ;)

[@nickh2458]

Lovely Jan. All the best.

[@Schwarzblack]

Jan had that special feeling in his fingers. Wow.

[@juanesquivelmadrid]

Nice playing, beautiful tone... I love it :-)

[@diecastmental]

Can't believe today is the first I've heard of this master of just sweet sweet love guitar playing. WOW. :) 02/05/2024 Rod was here.

[@BVackar]

I keep coming back to this - I just love it.

[@JTCGuitar]

Jan made a decision early on to use the whammy bar for vibrato to make him sound a little different. He was inspired by David Gilmour and Hank Marvin who also use this technique. This type of vibrato pitches above and below the note. Standard vibrato pitches only above the note. It's trying to be a little less samey rather than 'relying' on this technique to get vibrato as someone mentioned earlier. We've seen Jan play a Les Paul and then he uses standard vibrato as there is no whammy.

[@dharmonic]

since i can't shred, I feel really comfortable playing Jan Cyrka songs by ear, yet, the hardest part in the process is to play his songs with the same amount of feelings he has, really amazing player, RESPECT!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Love the old Selmer on the shelf there. Ain't seen one of those in decades. Playing is awesome as usual :)

[@Marctull66]

So splendid... Why have you stopped recording albums, really ? I loved the ballads with beautiful synth orchestrations... There's quite a lot of Jeff Beck (in the 80's and later albums) in this... It took me some time to realize it.

[@12rochelle]

Wow Jan.. Amazing.. So beautiful.. Thanks

[@nevillecampbellbarker]

Jan Cyrka is awesome...top player...Great control over all the notes he plays.

[@sarajevsky]

Beautiful! This is real online proof that really valuable music stays as in-depth lists of best songs, independent of the count of likes

[@blaker666]

pięknie nam tutaj pogrywasz Janku :)

[@guitardation3845]

Wow, this is fantastic stuff. Never heard of him before and this video has been here for almost eight years!

[@BrianSmith1969]

Wow, a Kramer Nightswan. Was going to say I haven't seen on in years, but noticed the age of the video, so technically I still haven't seen one in years. HA

[@laurielovesguitars]

Brilliant! This is what real guitar playing is about. Making Music. Beautiful Music.

[@Marcin79W]

One camera angle, no fire works, just pure emotions... If there is a definition of "the flow" in the music, this one is the one to describe it to me...

[@jade050403]

Always listening to those melodies with great pleasure . Pascal

[@KennethRMullins]

This is some of the best playing I have ever seen on You Tube...The feeling in this is so GREAT...YOU HAVE GUYS WHO TRY TO PUT A MILLION NOTES INTO A MEASURE ON HERE...BUT TO PLAY WITH REAL FEELING ... ahhh yes they ..feeling,and sir you have it....Ray

[@tehnikututorial]

this guitar solo bring back memories, i was so young when listening to this solo for the first time.

[@blacktapes3475]

I loved this whole album when it first came out, I still have it on cassette somewhere - I must get a digital copy! Great to see it played like this.

[@FilipeLimafreestyle]

that perfect feeling! Hugs from Brazil!

[@dregeye]

Really enjoyable. Fantastic tasteful playing. Thanks for sharing your rig & axe too . . .

[@METALTHUNDER_LEFTYGUITARPLAYER]

[@soundwoodsteel]

I am fascinated by your unique style. Honored to have a kramer like you ... I recently discovered your CDs and listen to them constantly. Amazing. forgive my english ...

[@life.annuityira.773]

Happy birthday !! Jan

[@Zebula77]

Beautiful song. Used to play along to it a lot back in the day. :)

[@LemmyJonez]

aaaww.. pakenshet! utoga gyud modala ug gitik ni ako idol uy! oohhhh... UTOG NA UTOG!

[@steveforwarduk]

theres a reason why Joe Satriani said the only guy worth listening to in the UK was Jan. For me, he has bags of taste, and style and a great touch. when you gonna tour again Jan ?.

[@Sparkles713]

from `Cyrka` to `Zodiac Mindwarp`,to this-bedroom symphony..love it....

[@theothecoolguy]

Great tone, phrasing and sustain. You're an amazing player
