Guys he is my teacher 😊❤❤❤ he is a great human being too.
Do you have a good transcription of this piece?
Guy is an absolute unit
@@joshuareynolds4525
I believe the term is G Unit.
@@kjzmusic You can get this piece and many more of him on CD.
old man guitar knowledge hit different, i liked my teacher very much
This is not guitar playing. It's magic.
Couldn't agree more
Miracle 👏👏
Not magic, Practice, practice, practice 🪄
@@iamprincemuel Nope. It's magic, magic, magic. 😄
No, it is a guitar that he is playing well.
if there was ever a tune that wasn't meant to be played on the guitar , this is it. the fact that he can do this so smoothly is amazing.
So, why NOT for guitar? Isn't it music, we love and appreciate?
You go listen to "Pictures at an Exhibition" (Modest Mussorgsky) Kazuhito Yamashita [Guitar] (copy this to search field in RUclips). It's here. I think that's the most impossible-to-play guitar arrangement EVER, and I think it also set the standard - and the base notion that "It can be done" following which - this piece was arranged for the Guitar.
Besides this - this thing is really a joy.
Ultimately the most demanding playing on any instrument ever!@@MottiShneor
@@gufra9835 He means its not an easy tune to play on a guitar
@@gufra9835 I agree believe there is guitar in the original arrangement, however had the OP said one guitar only it may have been more on point. I once heard a guy play it beautifully on accordion in the subway.
I’ve tried and failed so many times at getting anything close to this fluidity with Take 5 on guitar…bravo, maestro!
Yes, me too. That 5/4 time just kills me every time. I think I have it, play with a click track, and discover that I have an "interesting rubato". 🤣
@@RAkers-tu1eyThrow away the metronome. Go for a walk.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 Good Idea!
yeah, it looks very difficult but he keeps it flowing brilliantly
@@RAkers-tu1ey Oh those "intersting rubatos!" Thanks for giving me my new excuse!!
Mr. Brubeck would be proud of this.
In fact, it was Paul Desmond who composed Take Five, and then delivered a million different improvisations on it in the second part.
Chet atkins who wrote this arrangement in 1973 would have been proud aswell
I hope he thinks the god that created this Earth for the talent he gave us
Paul Desmond wrote it.
and Paul, who wrote the tune...
as a young jazz guitarist trying to study classical too, I enjoyed lessons with george for a couple years at SSU.. and went to a couple of carmel guitar festivals where george was a major presence.. maybe about 77’ or 78’ ? great to see george still going strong! thanks for sharing.. 🎸😎
Thank you.
The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.
Wow, this is a tremendous gem! Flows like liquid mercury yet has the precision of a surgeons scalpel whilst retaining the delicate sweetness of this nuanced piece. Great respect for his experienced and skilful playing.
Ah, I don't have to comment.
this is excellent man. I've been playing for almost 50 years and this a just another level of totally awesome.
Yeah it is. You’re speakin my language… “a whole ‘nother level of totally awesome…”
👍
Non stop?
50 years for me, too! The kids say I'm way too loud. I say What?
The phrasing this guitarist used is the work of a true master....... Exquisite.
I can't guess how many times I've heard those chords without actually noticing them. Part of what was remarkable about this performance is how simultaneous elements were kept so distinct and clear.
Good Lord, that is exquisitely sublime. Perfect pitch, perfect timing - just a masterclass in tone and control. Thank you for this!
Guy appears older than me. Gives me hope!
They say music is connetcting us to heaven. This old guy did connect me for good :)
What an incredible rendition. I bet this man has played this song thousands of times. It definitely shows.
It ain't a song cos it ain't got no words. It's a toon.
@@joeoak8181 A toon is what you get in newspapers or sunday mornings on the kids channel. What you mean is a tune.
He faithfully expressed “Take Five” with just one guitar, it is amazing !
Well that put a smile on my face.
The talent of making something complicated look so easy , Bravo Maestro 👏
Wow! God's blessings to the world, music and people like Paul Desmond!!!
Beautiful and accurate arrangement and brilliant performance. BRAVO!
The result of a lifetime of dedication to craftsmanship and perfection …and love.
The most beautiful guitar I have ever heard and I am 83, thank you for bringing this to my attention
The tone of the guitar grabbed me first, and then the artistry kicked in!
Besides being an astounding performance, the tone on that guitar is amazing. Awesome is a word used too often these days to describe a good performance. This is awesome. In the true meaning of the word.
That performance was simply wonderful!
This Man is amazing !
Would not have thought Take Five would lend itself so well to solo guitar. Boy, was I wrong.
Good Lord!!! I am stunned!! Simply a BEAUTIFUL rendition!!
A very talented guitar player, incredible!
Amazing arrangement of one of the most timeless melodies ever written. Job well done!!! This is destined to go viral!
I never before realized what a difficult song that is to play. Amazing!
This is nothing short of phenomenal.
64 years old guitar and still playing and sounding Wonderfully well and of course the guitarist … thanks so much for sharing… Awesome 👏🏻 🎸🌿
In the world of baroque music, an instrument of that age would be considered "just broken in", lol. Hopefully a couple centuries from now that wondrous assembly will still be wowing listeners, in "fully mature voice"!
I adore this man. Such a great and oldschool guitarist
"it dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing" very well played, but its got to swing!
@@RobertSlover It also has so improvisation. It's not a jazz performance, it's just a classical guitar interpretation of an iconic jazz track. I admire him not for this recording only, but for the exceptional music he has already recorded. I quite like this interpretation of this theme, though, it's on beat and he expresses the sound of the spanish guitar through it very well.
@@TantoFaz13 jazz must swing period.
@@RobertSlover It's not jazz
@@RobertSlover
It swings, if you're deaf it's your problem
Wonderful Arrangement of this Timeless Piece for guitar, showing off the incredible polyphonic posibilities of the Classic Guitar.
This is god level playing ! Thanks for the miracle !
George can play anything - clarity, tone, continuity, interest ,form; it's always there.
Un de mes morceaux favoris, interprété avec brio...bravo George!
It's like a little masterclass. Beautifully done.
Grandpa, you rules!
💙
And the tempo is just so right! Perfectly fluid lines. Absolutely marvelous. Maestro...full salute to you.
Wow - I'm in awe!
This is a very intricate piece & every note counts - played with perfection. Bravo!
Amazing!!!! I have no words!!!
Just a virtuoso can play the spanish guitar like that, truly awesome!
Truely a master of the instrument ! just beautiful...
Bravo. Truly beautiful rendition of the great classic.
Bravo, Maestro!
Wow, fantastic! One of my favourites! 💕
I’m a huge fan of Take Five. I’ve listened to many covers on a variety of instruments.
This is extraordinary!
Absolutely love it!
Wow! That's amazing! I started playing classical guitar a few years ago but I won't ever reach this level of greatness.
One of the coolest guitar videos Ive seen in quite awhile
Magic. So essential to hear this song for every one in this world.
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Felicidades Paul hermosa melodía Gracias por transmitirla
Great playing and feel, I've never heard this tune played solo on guitar
Awesome, I'm listening again and again thank you!🌹💛
A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite pieces of music. Thank you.
Muito bem executada!!👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Well played Sir , excellent
Just incredible!! ❤
Simply brilliant!
Very clean performance...and also this is one of the most excellent cover of Take Five...🎉
Never heard THIS one on CG. George nails it. Wow.
One of the best songs of all time. Great rendition. Hard to believe this is just one guitar.
Simply lovely
Legend has it that this young gentleman began learning this song, on the guitar, at the age of 15. He's finally playing perfectly. Congratulations!!!
Diz a lenda que esse jovem senhor começou a aprender essa música, no violão, aos 15 anos. Finalmente está tocando perfeitamente. Parabéns!!!
Rsrsrsrs 🙌
After the original version by Dave Brubeck, this is the ONLY other version! No other one! Perfection! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎼
N'exagérons pas
Wonderful to see and hear!
Just incredible. Bravo!
Bravissimo! 👏🏻
Браво!Шикарное исполнение!!!
Take-5 is one of those iconic jazz pieces that will live forever. And this take on Take-5 is one more reason Take-5 will propel those that are the keepers of jazz in all it manifestations to immortality
Bravo
Brilliant! Simply brilliant. Mesmerizing. It felt like watching a live performance and I just had to clap my hands after!
Just five seconds into the tune I already knew I had to "like" it. Absolutely gorgeous playing. Bravo!
Estupenda version🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you very much, George and GSI-Team for this little gem! Can't wait to learn this version...
Muito bom. Bravo.
Love this👍
Thanks GSI.
A superb rendition on guitar. Thank you1
A beautiful tone. Beautifully played. 👏👏👏
Espectacular éste arreglo, simplemente perfecto!...
perhaps due to my advancing age, i'm finding many live music pieces played at a slightly fast tempo, rushed. a shame really given that clarity of the tone which is a difficult task in itself; but if one is to compare this piece with even less competent versions, one can find more changes of intensity as well as rhythm, which color my palette.
Какое изящное и точное владение инструментом... 👏👏👏👏🙏
Beautiful. Thank you George Sakellariou. I am so grateful.
This is wonderful! thank you!
Freakin’ incredible playing!
Never heard this song played on only one guitar... sounds wonderful!
Magical, what a clear playing.
Wow, just WOW! What wonderful rendition.
Man oh man, that wrap around at 2:30!! Amazing arrangement
ΥΠΕΡΟΧΟΣ!!!⚘️👏👏
A lifetime of mastery. This is immaculate and beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. This goes out to - All the Young Dudes. Take five.
I'll burn my guitar now. This is amazing. Great playing.
Не спешите, можете отправить мне. Я не опоздал? 🤓
It's not your guitar 😅😅😅😅
Sell it ..to someone who will practice to achieve this level of fluidity.
@@ukestudio3002 I'm not actually going to burn my guitar.
A beautiful melody played by a master on an extraordinary instrument. Delicious candy for my ears.
Simply fantastic
Wonderful, amazing, perfect, incredible... And so on.
Congratulations
Mágico!!
Wow! I mean, WOW !!! This is superb. I've listened to many covers of this over decades but never a solo guitar. Loved this!
The best rendition I've ever heard. Bravo
Wow... just wow! Masterful!
Absolutely stunning, thanks for this beautiful music, made my day. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
