that's because he's playing it different than anyone else. He's playing a 8/9 version of it. 123 123 12, 123 123 12. then during bridge he goes to a 4/4. Then switches back to 8/9 for verse. Its how I play it now.
Good observation, but the original is in either 9/8 or 3/4(with a triplet subdivision). This arrangement is in 8/8, or simply 4/4. '123'123'12 = '123'456'78, played all the way through.
Can someone help me??? I had an electric piano, it containsm a song just like Spanish Romance but it has digital sounds. I am searching for this song about 7 years!!! If someone knows, please massage me.
I had to play this spanish song (also known as Romanza) for a acoustic guitar class, and I actually did pretty well. To all those people out there that are playing guitar, just learning, or are trying to learn this song. I will tell you it gets easier the harder you practice, it all comes together. So keep playing and you will eventually be quite good. :) Good luck everyone out there! Sincerely, Chantelle. P.S- this was really well done.
the original music origanated from gypsys this was the anthem back in the day when my grandmother was 6 years old its beautiful and i remember her singing it to me when i was a baby
my dad orianates form Costa Rica and i used to live there till i was about 7 then we moved to the US it reminds me of home and school we had to were tridinal outfits to school and we 'd be walking to school and when we left it be playing and the most it reminds me of is the partys we'd go to i'd dance and dance till my feet were sore i miss home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great performance! So beautiful and mesmerizing! Spanish classical music will continue to inspire and enchant: I'm Puerto Rican and get so giddy with this music. It makes me feel connected with the family back on the island.
I have heard this song so many times and every time I love it more but this most definately takes the cake. It's amazing. I have yet to be displeased with John Clarke's work but I love this. Forget making a guitar talk, he makes it SING!
you know i had a HISTORY Test and i studied listening to this wonderfull song...and i did good. is calm and it makes you concentrate......lol love this piece...
i rember my mum playing this song when she was sad....i often heard it when i went to sleep...but there was another spanish song that she played was very quick and cant remember it, but she played that one very well as well, that was when we were all gathered in a group together.... im glad i found you you play very well
John, I have been playing metal for 16 years, but watching your videos has switched on to your style of flamenco. I haven't touched my electric in over 7 months! Thanks for the inspiration and keep the great tunes flowing!

Is it just me or is this still the best video of this piece on TH-cam?

Tom Ward did aslo amaizing iun street perfomance, but this one from John is so clean ;)
I played this in music class and I passed. This is one of my favorite guitar songs. Romance I think is very Moving.
Same here
same here! although i never got to the second part of the song where he is strumming.
His facial expressions makes this old song even better...
ATrue musician lives that song when playing...
Excellent.
14 years ago I remember seen this dude In SF ! Hopefully I get to see you play soon! Great street musician

There's this really cute student teacher in my choir class and he plays this song for me all the time it makes me want to melt
I have had this video saved for nearly 10 years. Just ran across it again and still as breathtaking. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I could listen to you all day, so beautiful. Thank you.
He puts so much emotion into this song, i wish i could play as well as him
Here's the tab for this song www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/anonymous-romanza-spanish-ballad-tab-s25458t0
I dont think so. I can't stop watching it, beautiful music.
Bylem z Toba od poczatku! 😊
Szacunek!👍
You play this tune in a way.. where you think you created it? I like your version.. its the best out.. the quality is great and you sound great..
timing....
the original music origanated from gypsys this was the anthem back in the day when my grandmother was 6 years old its beautiful and i remember her singing it to me when i was a baby
John, you are ...how do you say? Ah, yes...STill MAGNIFICENT!. Even to this day, you remain...the MOST EVOLVED!
What's the hurry??
Youre excellent guitar player but this romance should play gently
Yes but his version is still nice in its own way
well played ,more a boy on his bike going through sunshine to see his girl than an old man realising love. I enjoed this so much thanks
How beautiful! I have loved this since the first time I heard it. Thank You....
this is not romantic. it sounds murderous.
Luigie Trashero made my day
Sometimes romance leads to murder
dont like this version has too much extras and is too fast and original is better
perfect thank you !!!
Please check out the arrangement by my teacher in my channel. I think you'll like it! :)
The origional is better because it has the feeling of two lovers and this one feels like a love hate type feel
he had a slow vision
Jose Solis
Where do i hear the original version?
Beautiful, full of life and colors, never ending
i hear this all the time.
i learn to play it !
u rock !
The song isn't supposed to be syncopated and you've taken too many liberties with it.
Mr. John H. Clarke... ur very good in playing guitar.. i really appreciate it....
It's not possible to dislike this music! It's beautiful and whoever disliked it doesn't know what music is !!
I really can't get over how lovely this is. I want to cry with joy
Perfect, as we walk across the sands of time and stand in the middle of chaos
the best, the greatest and its never get old!
This Spanish song is so sweet !
Because that is the way he likes it.
The very good musical freedom.
He is not a sheep, but a leader !!!!!
my dad orianates form Costa Rica and i used to live there till i was about 7 then we moved to the US it reminds me of home and school we had to were tridinal outfits to school and we 'd be walking to school and when we left it be playing and the most it reminds me of is the partys we'd go to i'd dance and dance till my feet were sore i miss home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
