It's called counterpoint and the reason classical and jazz is the most challenging (and rewarding) type of music to play. Rock and blues is easy for anyone playing for over 35 years like I have. There is literally nothing the vast majority of humans alive listen to that I can't play. Classical and jazz is the only music that challenges the ones who have already mastered the instrument. It will humble anyone. I feel like a beginner trying to tackle some of the more advanced pieces out there like Koyunbaba op. 19. It's a LONG piece but it is so rewarding it's better than any Van Halen solo or Vai or whomever you'd imagine would be fun or hard to play.
@juanDoAs It's within the two styles, flamenco is very specifically right-hand technique, just as classical is. It is a more presto/aggressive interpretation, but once you learn it, you are back to classical and jazz. Flamenco is an evolution of the two styles, it doesn't stand on its own.
This is one of those tunes that surface level doesn't sound TOO difficult, but those walking basslines are so hard to pull off this cleanly. Supremely talented
.... yes.... very cool bass walking....and chords.... an melodies... easily to play.... 🤣 good trying but I ll try it..... may be til next Christmas... or later....I think...
That could be the greatest song ever written. Not because it's so easy to play. Or so recognizable, to those who have ever heard it. But because, Henry Mancini actually recorded that song in every single style of music. Everything from swing, to big band, to bossa nova, and rock and roll. Truly, an extremely versatile piece of music.
The Pink Panther is one of the clearer cases of astoningshly killer pocket supereffective chord-melody ever written, and your tribute to this piece of timeless precious art lies at the same altitude. So good.
What an absolute treasure of a video. The composition was subtly savage and was just the right levels of indulgence. On a personal note I'm really happy I now realised how you pull off that amazing soft-scrape sound with your palm along the guitar - it sounds so perfect and gives the impression of a double bass and jazz drums. Honestly this is peak RUclips, we're so blessed that someone who's passionate and studied so many techniques has composed them together in a real skillfull way and then performed it for us. It's like a TED talk of Jazz, summing up years of study in a quick digestible treat of a video. It's videos like this that spur incite and inspire others - I hope you feel the bredth of this achievement. Not a single wig either! ;'D
Yeah that brushed snare sound he gets is so nice. There’s too many techniques in here that as a “classically” trained classical guitarist I am not familiar with.
So many great things to say about this this but I’ll just say it was so cool how you managed to create the sound of a brush along a snare. Bravo! Thank you!
Wow! I’ve been playing guitar for almost 50 years and never considered playing this on guitar. It’s usually played by an orchestra. I’d forgotten about this great piece of music and associated it with the cartoon I remember from my youth. But now I’m reminded that our high-school band played it fairly well. Nothing of this caliber though and trying this song solo, I’ve never heard before. “Cool” is an understatement. The chords you used here and the jazzy strum was phenomenal! Thank you for doing this!
I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years now....off and on. I've built a flying V guitar maybe 2 years ago and a body in the style of "parker fly" 20 years ago. It's very clear now that I must sell those guitars and the other 4 or 5 guitar I own, tomorrow.
@@jakefriesenjake did you ever play one of the original Parker Fly guitars? I played one up in Denmark Street in London back in the 90's and it blew my PRS custom 24 into the weeds!
Pink Panther is pretty standard for a piano solo piece, or at least it used to be. Being as I got to guitar long, long after having played piano... it wasn't a question of "what is or isn't to be played on guitar" but "where are the notes on the strings for the song I want to play?" I didn't get very far, but I was able to plink out the melody to Not Tomorrow from Silent Hill before I gave up because practicing hurt my fingers too much. And now I have neuropathy sooo oh well! XD
@@tirsden, That’s the thing about this piece of music, it’s timeless in its intricacies. The bass starts it out and then the saxophone takes over. Snare drum played with brushes creates the “feel” of walking down the street. The forefront melody is easy enough to play on a guitar, but when I’ve done it alone, every nuance in the background is missing. It’s recognized as that Pink Panther theme but it’s weak. This guy somehow pulled out the sax, bass, and muted snare with just a guitar. I couldn’t do all that and wouldn’t even try. The piano is back there as well, but the saxophone is lead. Bass is too. Nowhere is a lead guitar so don’t hurt yourself trying. This song is more of a feeling than anything written on paper. Imagine what this written in tablature would look like? Indecipherable because he’s playing so many parts at once. This isn’t something to copy or write down on paper, it’s just pure musical genius. More personally, I’m sorry to hear about your neuropathy. That’s gotta suck. I was a rockstar in my youth and very healthy but time tells me something will give out sooner or later. I hope it’s not hand/mind coordination but it could be one day. It could be anything that limits me from being young again. I won’t sell my guitars though, and I won’t dust them off as they hang on the wall, mostly for memories and to annoy anyone who doesn’t understand. Take care my friend.
Lucas, I've been playing guitar over 50 years. When you get to that point, you hear someone play like this and you just know. You are a player. ... and a damn good one, sir!
The shaker sound you create in rhythm while still playing by rubbing the guitar man... i mean... this is just simply amazing. You are an incredible guitarist and i hope to one day have even an ounce of your talent. Keep rocking and doing your thing!
You know, Lucas, there are many talented guitarists, but with your arrangements I hear something soothing and kind. Your personality shows through them, I believe it is way more important than impeccable technique. I love the person behind the notes. Proud to be one of your subs. Keep up that attitude, you are really good.
62 years old started playing guitar when I was 14 lost my mojo about 6 years ago just started getting back into it then I had to see this video. All of my gear is going into the burn pit tonight thanks to you 😂 Just when I thought I've seen and heard everything on the guitar you come along and just blow the top of my skull off. My friend you are truly one of the most gifted guitarist I've ever seen in my life.
Absolutely brilliant. My fingers regret having grown on my hands. I haven’t been faithful to introduce them to such delights as this. I want to play this so badly now. Study time ahead. Thank you.
Sometimes I feel sad and I come here to watch Lucas videos to remind me of how can pure talent, practice and passion create happiness on others! Thank you Lucas, you're an astonishing guitarrist and your playing style/vibe is immediatelly recognizable! I'm an amateur guitarrist and you're such an inspiration to me. Don't quit, ever!
Dude, I just realized right now that you are effectively one of the great guitarists of this generation. I mean, you are obviously great at playing, composing, arranging, directing, humour, singing, etc. But i just realized that youtube is the new scene of the 2020 musical scene, and you are in it, and you are a headliner here. On a musical level, this is a incredibly masterful in all aspects. Thank you very much for everything.
I agree wholeheartedly; Lucas is a true master. He's the best guitarist I've ever heard, quite simply. His arrangement of Summertime is what inspired me to buy a classical guitar and learn it, myself (or at least try to!)
the mastery in this video is so impressive. If I listened to this without video I'd of said there were at least 4 people/instruments playing. To do all that and remain tight throughout I commend you!
Great job! One of my favorite of all time Mancini pieces. Been my ring tone for years. Takes me back to watching the old Pink Panther cartoons they used to show before a drive-in movie back in the 70s and all the good times I had.
First: always loved the pink panther cartoons, and that absolutely iconic theme was like bells to Pavlov's dogs every time I heard it-- couldn't get to the TV fast enough (or tell everyone in the room to shut up). Never imagined this played on a single guitar before this, totally floored you nailed it! Not hard to see how difficult that was to play-- masterpiece! Thank you for this, Lucas!
I spent many hours talking to Ted Greene about other guitarists. He was a huge fan and appreciated all styles of playing. Occasionally, I would introduce him to someone he had never heard before and he was always interested and intrigued. I wish I could have shown him this.
Oh man, he's probably my biggest inspiration on guitar. Such a genius and a humble person. I must admit I'm jealous of you, I would have done anything to have a teacher like that... he's magical
@@LucasBrar I miss him terribly. There are so many things I would love to talk to him about, and so much more I could have learned. Also, he was just a good friend. Knowing him as well as I did I can guarantee you one thing for certain: he would have been a big fan of yours.
Bravo Lucas! I've heard the Pink Panther in different string instruments but your arrangement is awesome, love that jazzy spirit with the basses. Great performance.
You show the possibilities of mastership on the guitar in two and a half minute. I play guitar myself for fortyfive years now in different styles, mostly Rock and Blues but I'm always impressed seeing someone doing things like that because I know what it means looking at the amount of talent, patience and countless hours of practicing. My greatest respect man! Hats off! And I always loved this piece.
Amazing! Aside from just enjoying a new approach to one of my favorite tunes, I'm very impressed how you created the illusion of brush strokes on a drum.
I had to come back to this video and play it again. This performance and arrangement is by far my favorite version of this amazing classic song. I grew up with the original Pink Panther movies and cartoon show and as a kid this was one of my favorite theme songs. This solo guitar arrangement sounds like its accompanied by a full orchestra of instruments to me, I can't get over how skillful Lucas Brar is that all the melody, harmony and everything is all coming from his single acoustic guitar. Bravo!
Classical guitar has been cool for 100's of years! I build guitar amplifiers and when I hear a classical guitar played like this it makes me want to reevaluate my life. Well done, good sir!
That was way better than what I was expecting. Nice job on the bass line during the verses. I don’t think non guitarist understand how hard that is even though it sounds simple.
WOW! He played a great piece that usually requires a full orchestra to hit all those sounds and notes, and he did it beautifully and perfectly! My parents bought the record in 1963, when it first came out, and played it a lot (I was ten y.o. that year). I grew up listening to, and loving, that theme music. Now, my young (to me) minister plays this on his record player, along with other Mancini pieces, on the Sabbath when we're having dinner. Wonderful how timeless Henry Mancini's music is!
Maybe I should get out more but I have NEVER seen such talent, cheekiness, and emotional content. I found this very enjoyable, and am a loss for words to describe how masterful I felt this was. Thank-you!
Best version yet of one of my all time faves. Excuse me, I need to go apologize to my guitars, my past guitar teachers, and Henri Mancini for not being able to pull off anything even close to this master class.
Imagine time-traveling to meet Tárrega and playing this for him.. in a time before jazz even existed! He would probably drop everything he was doing to figure out how tf you just did that.
I must have listened six times in a row just to absorb the structure of the arrangement. The rich tone of your Acoustic Guitar is delicious! Thank you.
This is worthy of some awe... Particularly good to see the pleasure being expressed in performing it as the piece escalates. I was working on this some time back... and now realise I could be doing a whole lot more with it! Much respect, dude.
Hello Lucas, just wanted to say I`ve made my living for 42 years teaching and performing on the guitar and I have to say you are a very refined player. I also do the counterpoint with chords, bass line and melody. You really do make it look effortless!
Brilliant 'soundscape', Lucas! An amazing re-versioning of a classic tune,,, Many thanks for the Inspirational Vibes,,, from one of your 'newest' subscribers!!
Yes!! This is the stuff I love about your channel, truly showcasing your real talent and skills. I get it, the goofy videos appeal to the masses are are good for ad prints and sub counts, but please post more of these :) Much respect man, love your work.
I remember those long ago Saturday morning cartoons & I never missed a show of the Pink Panther *because* of this song. Even today, hearing it sends a thrill up the back of my neck, just the same as every other time I hear it.
I love it!!! The rubbing of the body percussion effect is brilliant! I play classical guitar as well, and this is one piece that I kept intending on doing an arrangement. You nailed it!!!
This is beyond tasty. Lucas, you're fantastic. I'll never get tired of how you mix basslines, with melody, with the brush percussing sound. This is awesome. I'm in awe.
That’s a really nice arrangement. It sounds like you’re hitting some harmonics while playing other notes at the beginning. And I like the percussion-like brush sounds you get too. I can’t recall seeing any guitarist do that before.
My guitar saw this and decided to sell me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice!
Same with mine :(
🤣🤣🤣🤣. So did mine 🙏🤣
No judgement. Kkk
Edit (kkk/lol in Brazilian)
Fair enough bro
When something looks so effortless it’s a sign of a master doing the execution…
Great work sir.
Idk about you, but this looks hard as shit and very effort intensive
He does look like he’s having a lot of fun playing it.

True. There is a saying in Japanese archery that if you are the Master then the Art is transparent in you. That describes his playing beautifully
Splendid!!!! That bass line was amazing.
thats what I was thinking. And to combine the melody with it smoothly is equally amazing
Definialty
I feel personally attacked by this comment 😂😂😂😂🤘
0:37 The bass line that separates from the main line and goes its own way is insane.
At first I thought there was a bass or contrabass recording playing along

Best version yet of one of my all time faves. Excuse me, I need to go apologize to my guitars, my past guitar teachers, and Henri Mancini for not being able to pull off anything even close to this master class.
Imagine time-traveling to meet Tárrega and playing this for him.. in a time before jazz even existed! He would probably drop everything he was doing to figure out how tf you just did that.
Love the Pink Panther. Love this. Simply awesome.
I must have listened six times in a row just to absorb the structure of the arrangement. The rich tone of your Acoustic Guitar is delicious! Thank you.
This is worthy of some awe...
Particularly good to see the pleasure being expressed in performing it as the piece escalates.
I was working on this some time back... and now realise I could be doing a whole lot more with it!
Much respect, dude.
i loved this cartoon so much when i was a kid and this intro will be stuck in my mind for the years to come
Hello Lucas, just wanted to say I`ve made my living for 42 years teaching and performing on the guitar and I have to say you are a very refined player. I also do the counterpoint with chords, bass line and melody. You really do make it look effortless!
Brilliant 'soundscape', Lucas! An amazing re-versioning of a classic tune,,, Many thanks for the Inspirational Vibes,,, from one of your 'newest' subscribers!!
So good.. mind blowing arrangement!
Thank you!
Yes!! This is the stuff I love about your channel, truly showcasing your real talent and skills.
I get it, the goofy videos appeal to the masses are are good for ad prints and sub counts, but please post more of these :)
Much respect man, love your work.
Probably the fun vids are faster produced too. For the "gold nugget" vids he has to compose an arrangement, practice it, etc.
@@MonkyTube18 I don't know, I'd bet there's still custom arrangements for the fun videos too, plus all the scripting, editing, processing, etc.
@@ThePiscui I agree his arangements within his "funny" videos aren't basic but most of thr time just as jazzy and complex as his serious work.
Thank you! I will!
I usually only listen to classical guitar of Bach, Tarrega, etc. but this is fabulous!! Thank you for this.
This is top-drawer guitar work, intelligently arranged and mightily played. Well done!
That's the best solo version of that song iv'e ever heard on guitar, nice job man.
I remember those long ago Saturday morning cartoons & I never missed a show of the Pink Panther *because* of this song. Even today, hearing it sends a thrill up the back of my neck, just the same as every other time I hear it.
I love it!!! The rubbing of the body percussion effect is brilliant! I play classical guitar as well, and this is one piece that I kept intending on doing an arrangement. You nailed it!!!
This man is on the road to 1 million subscribers and I'll be damned if it isn't well deserved. Truly amazing.
Your arrangement is so exceptional and complex, which is the secret of its beauty. It is so difficult to play I wouldn't dare to try learning it.
That’s fantastic! It’s the best guitar arrangement of that tune I’ve ever heard. Well done and thanks!
Incredible! The sound you create is like a whole band playing😱
That was wonderful. I watched that show way back when and will never forget that iconic tune.
This is beyond tasty. Lucas, you're fantastic. I'll never get tired of how you mix basslines, with melody, with the brush percussing sound. This is awesome. I'm in awe.
I can't believe you did this with just ONE guitar!
I have watched this video more than a dozen times... and, I'm left awestruck every time.
That’s a really nice arrangement. It sounds like you’re hitting some harmonics while playing other notes at the beginning. And I like the percussion-like brush sounds you get too. I can’t recall seeing any guitarist do that before.
I absolutely LOVE this. Great version 🤩😁
The GOOD side of RUclips. When talented people Like this get to display their talent for the whole world. Well done ! 🤟👏👏👏👏
That was absolutely amazing! Very nicely done.
WoW! 😲
That is so So SO COOL... 😎
AMAZING PERFORMANCE & MUSICIAN !!! 🎶🎼🎵

Only one word to describe this... SMOOTH.
Fantastic. Always loved that piece...wonderful to see it on guitar, and so well done!
Thank you!
Sem palavras... Simplesmente maravilhoso. ♥️
