I was lucky enough to see Bereli in about 1982 in Stuttgart when he was just a kid..he was acompanied by his brothers..all wearing workers hats and smoking on stage!..It was a magical evening I've never forgotten.
So goddamned great! THIS, my fellow guitarplayers, is truly among the most difficult style of playing around... Im in AWE! Nais tuke, dja devlesa mire pralas! Dja devlesa! :D
Having said that, this is really an historic performance, and I think that even Corea would recommend it as the best of interpretations of his composing
Bireli was slouched back in chair relaxing while Rosenberg solos...the he straightened up and ripped his solo. Rosenberg is a monster playing that manolo style guitar so fast and clean.
Very smooth, I don't know if it's the sound man who set the levels so perfect that it could go right onto a CD, or the musicians playing so well, perhaps both. Excellent job!
From 2:50 to 3:00 is a fantastic triplet arpeggio played outside and against the chords that somehow works so good it just kills. Birelli cooks hard and fast on this Chick Corea song.
Please Humans !! Music is meant to Unite people !!!! leave your Egos outside, Please!!!! I love Birelli he is mi favorit but I also love The Rosenberg trio, Dubare, Luc ... and all Birelli's company. They are friends for God's shake!!!!Lets enjoy the beauty they are giving to us and be a part of it all!
Bireli never gets lost. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and I've never heard anyone, ever, like this player -- he knows his way around the instrument better than most of us guys know our cocks. It's a higher target to aim for I guess..
omg, I know Spain in different versions but This is amazing. Birelli solo...what can I said. Listen Guthrie Govan Spain version. Incredible too ( other style obviously)
I love Light as a Feather, great album. You're Everything, Captain Marvel, 500 Miles High, and Spain are simply amazing songs - especially the latter two. It's pretty awesome to watch these guys. They sure can play! Proof that hammer-ons and pull-offs are more interesting than plain shred.
Bireli´s solo is awesome - sounds like one by George Benson -> his California Dreaming version (for those who dont know - very very relaxing song!) it is so impressing how fluent and emotional they play - they truly manage it to let a guitar sing, awesome
@chillichomper Yup. Chick Corea off Return to Forever's "Light As A Feather" album was the first appearance I think. It's become a modern Jazz standard by now though with quite a lot of people covering it but mostly guitarists since it's very flamenco influenced & the perfect vehicle for melodic soloing.
We've come to expect the awesome fireworks from Lagrene and Rosenberg, but there is no mention of the rhythm guitarist or the bassist. Those two guys are awesome as well.
what amazing version of Spain!!!!!! its' already in my favorites! i didn't knew who Stochelo Rosenberg was simply amazing!! The Guitarist who is seated between Bireli and Rosenberg at 5:06 ...Is He Christian Escoude (Or Scoude... i don't know how it is spelled right..i saw a documentary of him in the tv and they said his name first as "Escoude" and couple of minutes later "Scoude")???? Any One????????????
After 13 years of intense research, I can tell you without any doubt that it’s « Escoudé ». I can finally move on and live my life again, can’t wait to see how tall are my kids.
I love it when the gypsies play out of the traditional QHCF repertoire. I'd like to see Bireli with Bela Fleck and Chick Corea (the author of this tune) come WB! Get it done.
You're right. This idea that the top of the mountain can hold only one person is ridiculous. There's room for many, even folks who never receive an ounce of notoriety.
I been playing and teaching guitar for a long time and it so idiotic to say who's the best. Sylvain Luk was onstage too and he's no slouch. I like all these guys a lot Bireli, Stochelo, Slvain, Pat Matino, Larry Coryell etc. Any one of them or more could be considered to be "one of the best ever" but's it's all what you like or what rings your bell. I'm on a lifetime quest to see how good I can be but don't think I could ever be as good as these guys, but as long as my hands work I'll try.
Possibly a Johnny Smith Model Gibson. After looking at the headstock, fretmarkers, single cut arch top, single pickup with volume & tone knobs on the pick guard etc. That's what it looks like he's playing. Anyone have any other thoughts?
@SAK47RAMENTO Distortion (pedals anyway) adds compression, which in turn covers up the articulation and technique of the player. Some pedals manage to compress in a very natural way, and make it sound organic. Now, I will say, people that play distorted AMPS have a lot of talent. Cranking up a Marshall or the like creates a much more organic, and in turn, unforgiving, overdrive. I will agree though, the best are the ones that play articulately and cleanly in either situation.
@jan1080 IOW, fretting and picking is technically more demanding on acoustic guitars, while keeping a clean tone without noise is harder with distortion. I love using distortion btw. Squeals are fun, hahah.
RUclips has a formatting problem. I was responding to another comment, where Django's son said the little Birelli (at that time) could outplay Django. Well, it does matter how many fingers you have in that context. You took my comment out of context--but that's not your fault. It's the formatting.
@edushreds That really depends on the amp etc. Tube amps usually require more technical finesse (in my experience) than solid states. They just naturally have more mids, I guess. Regardless, distortion makes it easier to get strings ringing, noise, feedback etc, if you can't mute properly or use really wide motions when you pick. However, miss three notes in a 20-note triplet run at fast speeds, and you will hardly hear it on a distorted guitar. I prefer legato on electric guitars anyways :P
This is an astonishing effort by two of the very best working in this genre. Bravo! Two things worth the mention, first the astonishing appearance of Escoude, which must have been a terrible distraction to their concentration... Escoude's guitar also appears to have a broken string that perhaps in a hurried change remained attached to the guitar? Escoude is a great guitar player, but I'm afraid he's not quite in the top flight.
I'll add to my previous comment.. I was such a Django freak in those days..I was only a kid myself..what divided me from my "electric" friends was my love of jazz..Gypsy guitar jazz... did any budding guitarist see the lightning finger work?..makes shredders look like hacks eh?..God i wih I had an ounce of that talent!
@edushreds . . . I'm pretty sure I made very clear in my argument that I play both. . . And my 32nd note runs sound like shit clean, but passable when they are compressed and distorted and maimed.
people say this guys better than hendrix and all sorts of other guitarists, granted the guy is really fucking good but cmon yngwie would show him a trick or 9000000 as would batio no disrespect to either of these great players !!! I love what they do and i love me the jazz!!!! respect and thanks for making awesome music
No effects, no pyrotechnics, no loops, no auto-tune just straight ahead raw talent in your face!
I've seen this video about fifty times recently, and everytime Bireli starts with that solo I close my eyes and forget about all my problems...
In this song, it's Nous'che's perfect rhythm playing that gives the unique atmosphere. Insane rhythm!
That rhythm guitar player is inside such control on volume and rhythm
The manouche guys take rhythm guitar very seriously!
stocholo is the underdog always and when his solo comes he kills it ..hes the man
That strum pattern hard af that fast
Yes dude, great line up!!
Stochelo Rosenberg (Lead Guitar)
Yogi Bear (Lead Guitar)
Charlie Sheen (Rhythm Guitar)
Robert De Niro (Contrabass)
ROBERT DE NIRO AHAHAHAHAHA
Puercorpse .And you ➡Timmy ( South Park)...
LMAO!
The guy that impresses me the most is the rythm guitarist! Listen to that beat!
that's incredible, not only the soloing but listen to how fast that rhythm guitarist is playing
I was lucky enough to see Bereli in about 1982 in Stuttgart when he was just a kid..he was acompanied by his brothers..all wearing workers hats and smoking on stage!..It was a magical evening I've never forgotten.
His name is Bireli
How can someone not like this?
i know right
II really adore this song. What a serious pace. Brilliant. Thank you so much for posting.
So goddamned great! THIS, my fellow guitarplayers, is truly among the most difficult style of playing around... Im in AWE! Nais tuke, dja devlesa mire pralas! Dja devlesa! :D
Bireli plays so fast, but his sounds stays pure, amazing
Wow !!!!!!!
Pure Talents and beautiful music !!!
that rhythm player is amazing!
i love all the charlie parker licks bireli throws in there . this guy is next next level
Having said that, this is really an historic performance, and I think that even Corea would recommend it as the best of interpretations of his composing
Bireli was slouched back in chair relaxing while Rosenberg solos...the he straightened up and ripped his solo.
Rosenberg is a monster playing that manolo style guitar so fast and clean.
this is simply fantastic. whoever tried to make music must understand this!!!

I love these guys
Truly great!!!

Unbelievable. The best version yet!
I dont know, but when I listen to this, I've got a big smile
God I love music!

Bravissimi: meno male che c'è ancora questo livello musicale in essere!! Complimenti a tutti
Oh, this is absolutely awesome.
I think it is just great.
This is an awesome interpretation. Love it!
Tear!
Beautiful
i am absolutley speechless
Bireli never gets lost. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and I've never heard anyone, ever, like this player -- he knows his way around the instrument better than most of us guys know our cocks.
It's a higher target to aim for I guess..
Loool
I don't even see how this is possible!
How?
These guys are "pretty amazing"
Me encanta es increíble como tocan
Che solo che tira Birelì...da apnea...bellissimo.
Un rayon de soleil, par ce temps .../
Awesome!
omg, I know Spain in different versions but This is amazing. Birelli solo...what can I said. Listen Guthrie Govan Spain version. Incredible too ( other style obviously)
Marvelous!

Fantasztikus zene,zenészek

WOW, AWESOME!!
Stochelo is on freaking fire!!!

it is so impressing how fluent and emotional they play - they truly manage it to let a guitar sing, awesome
@krissjr

Impressionante!!!

Haha! trust these guys to take a killer tune and speed it up even more, incredible!

Euk Euk!🤘
daaaaaaaaah... i just saw a video of him playing violin
Stochelo Rosenberg nacio solo 8 dias antes que yo.saludos desde Argentina.
this is by far the fastest version ive ever heard
Possibly a Johnny Smith Model Gibson.
After looking at the headstock, fretmarkers, single cut arch top, single pickup with volume & tone knobs on the pick guard etc. That's what it looks like he's playing. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Why does the bass player in these jazz performances always look so happy?
Swing masters

This shit is so fluid. 🔥
jazz manouche lo mejor de lo mejor !
Yeah there are sitting two of 10 bests guitar players in whole world, write an e-mail to them, give them a lesson.
est ce que je suis le seul a trouver que ces lunettes donnent à bireli un petit air de coluche ? ^^
sinon magnifique interpretation !!
@jan1080 IOW, fretting and picking is technically more demanding on acoustic guitars, while keeping a clean tone without noise is harder with distortion.

@andrenuk talent is french for hardwork, practice and dedication.
@wesman0120 The fast sort, with ultra quick neuromuscular connections and the optional sub-micron accuracy...

@r3ck0rd no stochelo didn't mess up.. but what did the 3d guitarist doing at the end.. It took the concentration away for a second!!
Okay, who else went cross eyed when they watched this?
speedy gonzales wrote this tune.
