The issue with the guitar is the volume is too low, a guitar can't compete in loudness with a violin, let alone the brass... The amplifier makes the guitar sound unnatural, it feels lie being inside the guitar it's weird. That said i would love to have a guitar section.
@@davidcia this is true, if only historically there were architectural adaptations to compensate and enhance the acoustics for guitars. Theatres were and are of course built with that in mind, but for guitars in orchestras would be really cool if possible; still wouldn't be feasible as even attempting that would ruin the acoustics for all other instruments in the ensemble of the orchestra. Welp, these are my ramblings for the day
Hahah this arrangement is so much fun! Fantastic work from the Quartet! (And it is easy to forget to appreciate what a well-crafted work this is by Liszt - its ubiquity can make us take a lot of the great melodic gestures, the call-backs, the playful rhythms for granted - in fact this music was pretty "out there" for the 1850s.)
In my opinion, the fact that classical music doesn't usually have words is what makes it better than popular music.. it's left up to the listener to interpret what the piece is about!
I am in awe! Bellisimo. I can't get enough of these guys now. A business associate is married to one of these fine gentlemen and I feel like I've been missing out on a gem in my own town. Bravo LAGQ. Andele!
@musicman8942 idk if you've ever noticed or not, but a lot of classical guitarist use these "braces" as opposed to footrests. in fact, i went to see these guys a couple nights ago and two of the four of them were using them, scott tennant wasnt using anything. and he still tore it up.
it seems to be an extension to the guitar i think its an extra bass string for the lower parts of the this transcription thats why no one else plays except him at about 2:35 into the video
hhhhh this is somehow weard for me, it is the first time for me to get the chance to talk to someone starting his day when I getting ready for bed but I really like it
As one who grew up playing classical (and other styles of) piano, I know quite a bit about music, and I too am appalled by some of these comments. These gentlemen are truly master musicians, and I would buy an album of their music in a heartbeat. I live in the D.C. area but am from SoCal, and I would definitely take the opportunity to see them when I am next in LA.
@musicman8942 Its all about posture for the classical guitar, with a strap you wouldnt have the same capabilities, tone, or physical ability to sustain playing on the classical guitar. The brace is just a replacement for the footstool, the footstool is just to hold the guitar higher for the left hand. Hope this helped :D
@musicman8942 That heavy set guy goes by the name of Scott Tennant, he heads the guitar program up at USC, he will get shit done with or without a mechanical stand, regardless of his size.
whoa... that extra bass string on John's guitar makes this piece so incredible!!
I missed that...thanks for pointing that out!
What are they tuned at?
@@saus2818 drop d.
This is why I believe symphony orchestra need a guitar section. Guitars add a whole new dimension to music.
Listen to the 1984 Dune movie soundtrack
It’s by the band Toto and it’s really amazing

O som do violão é muito mais bonito que o som do piano
Beautiful rendition of Franz Liszt's Rhapsody No. 2.
So beautiful music Franz Liszt

In my opinion, the fact that classical music doesn't usually have words is what makes it better than popular music.. it's left up to the listener to interpret what the piece is about!
totally awesome!!! perfect tempo and with FEELING!!
WOW! That was truly amazing!
Excellent. A very clean and accurate performance of an obviously very technical piece.
Amazing arrangement. Very exciting. Brilliant!
Un excelente arreglo y adaptación para 4 guitarras. Congratulaciones.
Great arrangement and performance!
Wonderful musicians! I was lucky to have seen them before Andrew York left.
Love it
Love to see these guys live. The Holland Center in Omaha would be a great venue.
Beautiful masterpiece
I am in awe! Bellisimo. I can't get enough of these guys now. A business associate is married to one of these fine gentlemen and I feel like I've been missing out on a gem in my own town. Bravo LAGQ. Andele!
How beautiful!
Which one of the men is the business associate married too?
so moving thanks for these recordings
beautiful arrangement!!!!
Marvalous interpretation of an all time masterpiece composition.
Fantastic!!!
AMAZING~!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the greats of animation cared deeply about good music. I'm sure they would love to know they helped bring people here.
Love LAGQ since first finding you from the other eclectics on the old Napster.
this is music for my ears! BRAVO!
Love it Liszt would of been proud!
for some reason, i like the guitar version more than the piano version. this is so charming..

i think its an extra bass string for the lower parts of the this transcription
thats why no one else plays except him at about 2:35 into the video
AMAZING!!!
Belíssimo!!!
Magnifico!!!
@zacrichey The strap is not a physical inconvenience. If you look up guitarist David Starobin you can see what he does with the guitar... :)
pretty good,
I loved it.
I think that ... they were in control
محمد العيمش absolutely
it is almoust middnight here
have a nice evening

but I really like it
Stunning.
WOW... very nice ;) !!!
Csodás.......
@An1malcr0ss1ng AND the Animaniacs cartoon "Wakko's Wish", where the melody was given lyrics in "The Wishing Star" song.
Parabéns, excelente apresentação!!!!
it's wonderfull
Beautiful. Just what the doctor ordered today.
I am amazed at some of the comments. They obviously know very little about music.
As someone who knows very little of music, it's more that they're trolls, or a certain type of idiot

Why are you amazed by this? Do you know much about atronomy? About anatomy? About every single thing? Why should they?
@@KitsuhROBLOX so you're telling me you have to know more than a little music to express your opinion/comment on a music video
@@KitsuhROBLOX it was an example dude...
Molto bello, molto bravi!

Hey boys! Siete formidabili!
4:38 AMAZING.

@guillz I believe it may be a baritone guitar...possibly...
Шикарно
C génial !!!!!!!!!!!
INSANE !!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Epic!!!!!!!
I love it, I feel like I'm in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
1:28 - 1:46 is just AMAZING!!!!

sin palabras...
this is very nice
Bravo
@sovietsentinel and 4 guitars
@musicman8942

Molto bueno!
WOW !!!
hermoso
@lavamaster530 look for Kazuhito Yamashita, he plays this song on one guitar and sounds amazing
This song is indeed playable on 1 guitar. I tried it already but it sounds choppy on 1 guitar alone. Probably need 2 guitars to make it flow nicely.
@richmonksgtr AND Tiny Toon Adventures AND Who Framed Roger Rabbit? AND numerous other cartoons as well!
Am I the only one that hears a little 'Capricho Arabe' by Tarrega in this?
40 fingers of Joy!
They had great music in the old theatrical cartoons. Modern cartoons rarely play with the old masterworks.
These guys make me want to get my chops up so insanely badly
