The chaconne is such a fascinating style, you have Bach’s take, which resembles Pachelbel and Buxtehude, a melancholy and rather serious affair that builds to dramatic effect - against this kind of bright, joyous and cheerful chaconne. It is Such a wonderfully diverse kind of classical composition that still holds up for our modern sensibilities and could very well be on the come up. I would love if you could play some of Athanasius Kircher’s music, he is a very fascinating person and often considered the final renaissance man, he has a few pieces that resemble the feeling of this one.
Yeah, his technique here really reminds me of clawhammer banjo. I think the smaller / shallower body of the guitar creates quite a banjo-like timbre too!
Wow, Chaconne was already one of my favourite wheels of chords and now its even more. You should try Caprice de chaconne by Corbetta if you haven't cus its one of the most beautiful takes on the chaconne on guitar
Thank you, that was so pretty and so nice. You're an amazing player, but I've known that for a long time. I would love to play like that more than the classic rock I live in, but my fingerpicking....yikes! Lol
Hey Brandon, love your videos! I have a question about the baroque and also the renaissance guitar. I know that traditionally they were strung with a chanterelle as the first string, but if a guitarist wanted to use a paired first string, could they? or is that not even a possibility? Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Yes you can have a doubled 1st course and some colleagues of mine do. I personally don't like it and we know that it was common to keep it single (It's written about a lot at the time). However, the instruments were still made with the pegs and holes for two 1st strings so I think it's a choice :)
Around 1 min in makes me think of "my name is jonas". Which makes sense I always auspected Rivers Cuomo was a 300 year old vampire in a never aging boy body.
Thanks! It's a tastino. You can learn about it in the video I made on temperaments. It moves those notes much lower making the tuning more pure and beautiful
It looked like your fourth course had octaves and the fifth unison for the Sanz series and both fourth and fifth in octaves for the Le Cocq, but it's hard to tell. Additionally, it looked like you might sometimes pluck (with your thumb) only the higher octave. Again, it's hard to tell from the video.
Octaves on 3 and 4 only. The 5th A course has two high notes. I used the strings for all of the recent videos which were recording one right after the other
At first I thought this was Nicola Matteis and got confused. Very nice, though. I didn't realize early Chaconnes would sound so similar (I just listen to random stuff).
The lightness is one of the incredibly lovely parts of the baroque guitar. Strumming on the baroque guitar just hits different from any of the other plucked instruments.

I've really enjoyed this series of performances and very much hope you'll release them on CD.
Yeah! Great energy and contrasts!👏
Oh my god this is just delicious. Thank you for the baroque videos!
Beautiful piece ❤ performed to perfection. Love that tremolo
I really appreciate that! Thanks!
I love this piece. Thank you for playing it here.
I wouldn't have thought you could improve upon this from your recording years ago but I am very glad to be wrong!
That's very kind! I think I play it differently now and wanted to have an update version that reflects how I hear it. I'm glad it's noticeable :)
I could listen to you just tremolo all day. You played this so beautifully, thank you for sharing!
Lovely my kind of music ! Greetings from England 🏴
Greetings, thanks!

Stunningly beautiful!
Got a Bluegrass vibe
Yeah I can see that. Good catch 😊

@@Lattmuke I'm thinking it's the tuning as it has recurring tuning
Incredible
Tell me that wasn't in one take? Well played. I noticed you performed a large vibrato on one pair, almost like a bend.
Wow, Chaconne was already one of my favourite wheels of chords and now its even more. You should try Caprice de chaconne by Corbetta if you haven't cus its one of the most beautiful takes on the chaconne on guitar
I’d probably wind up playing something bluesy, but this is real cool
Thank you, that was so pretty and so nice. You're an amazing player, but I've known that for a long time. I would love to play like that more than the classic rock I live in, but my fingerpicking....yikes! Lol
Love it! Can you put this on Spotify?
Thanks! I hope to do a CD of this music and then yes :)
sweet
Request to hear you play Bach's Chaconne!
Beautiful! How easy is it to switch between classical and baroque guitar? I’d like to give it a go
My hot take is the Le Cocq chaconne is the best of the C Major baroque guitar chaconnes.
🔥
So amazing! One day I will own a baroque guitar!! I wonder if the strumming is possible without nails?
You should get one! Yes both techniques have been used since 1600 and I have recordings on youtube and CDs using both nails and no nails.
Brandon. Come give a concert here in Tokyo. We're waiting for you!
Thank you! I adore Tokyo and would love to come back to play. Fingers crossed it happens one day 😊
Eliot Fisk for the RUclips generation, honestly
Go all the way to 50 year old music or present day… master of all time and space.

Does anyone know whether/where the sheet music for this piece can be found, please?
It's piece #72 in this collection imslp.org/wiki/Recueil_des_Pieces_de_Guitarre_(Le_Cocq%2C_Fran%C3%A7ois)
@@brandonacker Thank you! This is truly appreciated.

So true!
Off to rummage through my old CD's :))
Very nice! I've been curious, what is that on the fingerboard just before the first fret?
Thanks! It's a tastino. You can learn about it in the video I made on temperaments. It moves those notes much lower making the tuning more pure and beautiful
@@brandonacker Thanks! I'll check that video out!

And yes sometimes I just play the upper octave

do you have resources where i could buy a baroque guitar. thank you
Yes this is the best place lutesocietyofamerica.org/resources/instruments/lutes-for-sale/
@@brandonacker thank you
That strumming up the neck (1:55) fascinates the heck out of me!
The lightness is one of the incredibly lovely parts of the baroque guitar. Strumming on the baroque guitar just hits different from any of the other plucked instruments.
Why its sounds so great is like 95% your strumming skills and only 5% the finger picking skills!

this chaconne is always a treat
