Yea yrs ago in the late 90s kirk hammett did a interview with guitar magazine and named this piece as a favorite. That same issue has a transcription of 1, 2, and 3 if I remember right and is how i got to become aware of erik and the piece.
You are a mind reader! I often thought of asking for you to cover this but erroneously believed it would fall out of your scope. Boy was I wrong! Thanks for all you do, Dave.
Eric Satie was a Swiss composer who was actually fairly well respected, like say Tom Waits. A composer of ballets with the Ballet Russe along with Stravinsky & their set designer Picasso. He was groundbreaking who's music was the score for the Marx Brother's "Night at the Opera." Satie rose to modern fame on Blood Sweat & Tears 2nd Album in the late 60's, and the release of his complete piano works in the mid-70's. He's popular in electronica, and performed widely.
X-Files …… “ The truth IS out there “ huh David …😏😉. Cool lesson here today Bud . I enjoyed it as usual, thanks for all you post & share man . Great finger exercises here …. 😎
Wow how cool, I used to listen to this when I first picked up a guitar as a teenager, alongside listening to Hendrix, Blackmore, Page, and other greats, this will close the loop to learn to play!
Fantastic lesson. Had me headed to grab my acoustic and drop that low E string. Ill be spending some time on this.... Please follow up with the minor part....Hi from the uk.👍🏿
I had been playing the LAGA version and I really like your insights here. Great stuff. I love to practice classical on my guitar with a drum machine and this piece due to the space between the notes feels good with a good rhythm going.
Try to make a lesson about the chords and licks used by the band SKY, which they did this song also which I prefer their version of this song. SKY used a lot of classical phrasing with synths new age type of sections. Watch the DVD live concerts of SKY you will be obsessed on the drummers looks.
You should check out "Gnossiennes No.1 Lent", by Satie(if U haven't already). If U ever transcribe it to guitar for an episode, I for one wouldn't complain. Thanks!
Check out Dominic Miller's version from one of his earlier solo albums. I think it's called Shapes. Really cool. His rendition of "shape of my heart" there is my favourite.
😊 superbe transcription David ! SATIE is great composeur, he always play melancholy melody 😢😢 with my classical guitar i play " gnossienne " it' s a very good piece too !😊 in France we have an another great composeur " Camille saint saens 1835/1921 this guy was a genius " rondo et capriccioso en la mineur" is an example and many more ...😂 Tell me david what kind of set pick-up do you use with your sunburnt stratocaster ? Excuse my approximate english 😂 🇨🇵🤟🇺🇸🗽🌁🌉🏙🚕🛹🚦🛸🚀
thanks for the video! (a) 4:08 "Man on Wire" is a fabulous documentary and features Satie prominently (b) the channel "The Classical Nerd" has good biography videos on composers, including Satie. I have no affiliation; viewers may want to check it out for more (e.g. a strange cat, he used Zappa-esque performance notes in his scores).
Hey what up it's me again I forgot to ask if you can explain what they mean by accidentals in terms of music and also could you explain what a chromatic mediant is. Hopefully 🤞🤞 I said that correctly 🤣. Peace 🙏 man
I put on the 10 hour loop of this piece when I go to bed sometimes.
I'm french, so Erik Satie is part of my luggage, so to speak. Very inspiring episode, thank you.
Variations on a theme, Erik Satie. This came into my life in the 60's via Blood Sweat andTears. I've loved it ever since.
Yes! Blood Sweat and Tears is my touchpoint for this piece as well.

Yes, it was in Guitar for the Practrising Musician of March 1998. I've still got this issue.
@@aquaboti still have it as well
I love Satie's work. The Gymnopedies and Gnossienes are wonderful!
You are a mind reader! I often thought of asking for you to cover this but erroneously believed it would fall out of your scope. Boy was I wrong! Thanks for all you do, Dave.
To _my_ ears, this piece is more melancholic than dark 🙂
Thank you for this lesson!
😊👍
Also works well in a Swing groove-dark and with a bossa nova touch in drop D

Will be watching for the next lesson in minor, very interesting, thanks alot Dave!
I hope Dave does!
The music of Erik Satie has been a companion during my whole life. It is great to see this on your channel. 🎉 we can love rock and many other genres.
Well once again you open the door for another musician that I can check out. Thanks 🙏. Definitely will be researching this dude
Looking forward to you doing the minor section. I grew up to this as it was one of my Mum's party pieces and she was a piano teacher.
X-Files …… “ The truth IS out there “ huh David …😏😉. Cool lesson here today Bud . I enjoyed it as usual, thanks for all you post & share man . Great finger exercises here …. 😎
"Send in the Clowns" by Ted Greene would be a great lesson. Thanks for this!
Wow how cool, I used to listen to this when I first picked up a guitar as a teenager, alongside listening to Hendrix, Blackmore, Page, and other greats, this will close the loop to learn to play!
Great job of transposing the piece to guitar sounds beautiful on your Tele 🤘
Crystal clear delivery, interesting to emulate another instrument's artifacts. Kazoo Shredder

I first heard and learned some of these tunes with Guitar Techniques Magazine.
Wow Dave I was heading to the Guitarist of Steely Dan and was sidetracked by this - thankfully….. 🙏🏼🎶🎵. Great GREAT job 🤟🏼

I well remember the Benny Hill episode with this song. The musicians on that show, by-the-way, were incredible.
😊 superbe transcription David !

If you want to hear the best of Eric Satie, I suggest you to listen to the interpretations of his work carried out by Daniel Varsano
Like Debussy without the steroids.
Eric Satie: the first punk to be thrown out of the Paris Conservatoire.
Literally playing animal crossing right now 😂
