    I had a bad day then I stumbled upon one of your videos that led me to this.
    It made me honestly look forward to a better day tomorrow.
    Thank you for making such a beautiful piece.

    Это настоящий талантище!!! Такая музыкальность, сбалансированность и гармоничность композиций, прекрасная техника в лучших традициях итальянских виртуозов. В общем - встречайте настоящий талант!!!

    Artists are so generous. It's so easy to expect a wonderful performance and forget how much of themselves they put into their music and performance. In any concert, the performer and audience have a communicative exchange. I am of the thought that music isn't primarily an act of entertainment, but that of generosity. Thank you Luca for sharing yourself through music!

      You also have to put in so much work, years of learning and refinement, to perform. And most are never recognized, and earn very little, since people prefer known covers to be things. Music is a cruel mistress, but one hard not to love.

    An epiphany invoked by this music (Very random) - I honestly think music CAN bring world peace. When you come to think of it, both the world-wars occurred when there was no social media. I mean - after listening to this, who would want to attack the country from where this gentleman hails. There are true artists everywhere in the world. And TH-cam is like their stage - The world's stage! Boundaries are merging.

    Amazing. I play a little guitar as a hobby, but I'm devoid of any knowledge pertaining to music theory or rhythm. These Candy Rat artists obviously have a great deal of understanding when it comes to chords and scales, but what really gets me is their ability to play so many overlapping parts with seemingly separate rhythms, and seeing it makes me wish I knew how to develop that sort of technique myself. In a nutshell-how does one approach the study of rhythm and timing on guitar?

    • @meeks6798
      @meeks6798 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      In all honesty, the best way to approach it is to just pick up a guitar and go!
      Extensive knowledge of music theory and stuff like that isn't necessary to learn how to stay on beat or to play the guitar. I play the violin and for the first couple of years, I just played by ear because I didn't know how to read sheet music at all. Even now, years later, I still like playing by ear, because it's what I'm most comfortable with.
      The best way to get good at something is to practice it. Whether you look up music theory/rhythm exercises or just try to play along to your favorite songs, as long as you're playing and challenging yourself, you're learning. The best thing is that you WANT to learn and improve; that motivation is a huge part of learning any new skill. Good luck and don't give up!

      @MrSachinCK 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      How does this remind you of Drifting? They're nothing alike. Not trying to be negative but I don't like when someone says that. Is it because of the slapping techniques? The placement of the guitar?

    • @determinedscholar

      MrSachinCK Isn't whether or not two things are alike up to the person doing the comparing? Does a raven have anything to do with a writing desk? Well maybe not to you, but to Lewis Carroll it did. It's fine to ask the question as to why that person thinks what they think, but there isn't really a reason to dislike that they've said it.

Every single song is amazing work in songwriting as well as (obviously) in guitar skills. Is there going to be a CD of him anytime soon?

    *** FANTASTIC MUSIC ***
    You know....I'm pretty sick and tired of these "look at me....I'm playing the guitar 'oh so different' from everyone else" kind of guitar players....especially the typical "CandyRat Records" ilk...
    ....people who play really fast (aka "shredders") or who instead of 'plucking' the guitar like it was designed to be played, they instead play it from the opposite side of the fret or they "WHACK" it providing an interesting rhythmic technique, or they play it with their feet or their butts or whatever the hell new technique gets them noticed on youtube.
    That's kind of cool/interesting....for about, maybe 20-30 seconds.
    But, typically, after that I get bored.
    Bored, because I don't care about listening to the MUSIC.
    The MUSIC is boring.
    The TECHNIQUE is fascinating--for a while--but overall the MUSIC is boring.
    I always give these folks a listen....seriously....and, with an open mind.
    But, 99 times out of 100 I'm disappointed.
    Because they're so focused on their TECHNIQUE ("tapping/slapping/smacking/shredding") that they forget that the WHOLE POINT in playing an instrument in the first place is to make music people will LISTEN to...over and over again (if you're lucky).
    Personally, I don't care if you're playing it really fast or really slow, or with your fingers, or toes, your nose, or your butt or whatever......
    ....music is music, for music's sake....because it's something I want to LISTEN to.
    I don't care what instrument you play it on, how you play it, how fast it is, or how amazingly impressive your TECHNICAL skillz are...
    ...if the music is boring, then, whether you like it or not, everything about your performance is boring.
    If I'm not compelled to listen to a piece of music over and over and over again...I don't care about it.
    This piece, however, by Luca Stricagnoli, called "The Future" is a refreshing mix of interesting/cool "TECHNIQUE", combined with a DAMNED PRETTY piece of music.
    One I've listened to probably 30-40 times now as I'm writing these comments.
    I wish someone would be as interested in my music as I am in this piece....that's the epitome of musical appreciation.....interest.
    Take a listen to this guy...and this piece.
    They're both amazing.

      Dan Tharp I understand what you’re saying about the technique being the focus and not the overall sound of he music. I feel that way especially with Kaki Kong’s music. Her songs don’t sound good to me but she’s an impressive guitarist for her technique. The point of these different guitar players however isnt to play something that looks cool. The whole purpose of playing like this is to be able to create sounds that you can’t get in other ways. I like tapping because the sound of the notes bouncing back and forth and that’s why I do it. Also when you play a guitar normally and you have just the guitar by itself it doesn’t sound good in my opinion. It’s hard to make a good sounding song with only one instrument being played. A good important point to these guitar style though is the fact that you can play a base line, percussion and melody all at the same time with one instrument. When playing guitar normally you are just stuck to only playing one thing at a time like a rhythm or a melody.

  • @MichaelDudley
    @MichaelDudley 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I like the music, nice composition, but if one was going to play in this fashion you, would build something different. This flat position works well with the slide guitar and was ok here, but one could never create the dynamicsd produced from strumming a guitar in it standard position, which is so caricaturist of the guitar. Also the bending of the strings are almost totally lost because the hands and neck are no longer "engaged" appropriately. (That would be a tragedy) And I do not think any of the fantastic guitarist on candyrat records would "evolve" into playing the guitar flat, because there is too many wonderful qualities lost by using the technique shown. Now...one could come up with a different instrument that includes the fingering, the "finger strumming," and the piano like hitting of the strings...that has potential...but would be a different musical instrument.

    • @determinedscholar
      @determinedscholar 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I disagree that you'd need to build something different, and I disagree that it even matters. If you gave these guys the reason to learn dynamics and bending on the guitar, they would figure out a way to do it. It wouldn't be easy at first but neither is picking up a guitar and playing anything like this.
      Secondly, why on Earth would you limit the scope of what is characteristic about guitar? The guitar just is what it is, if the sounds are made from the guitar, than those are the characteristics of the guitar.
      *"standard position" BAH
      ;)

    • @ValariaxSword
      @ValariaxSword 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hammer ons from nowhere is a common technique almost all percussive acoustic artists use and if you're going to integrate purcussions as well then playing over hand or lap style is the optimal way to go. If you think all there is to guitar dynamics is full strums then you are short sighted. Arpeggiating the notes and slapping harmonics is as dynamic as acoustics can get.

    • @MichaelDudley

      Nick K. determinedscholar Good evening. I think both of you made excellent points and they are well taken. It seems that you both have a great appreciation for the work, talent and dedication that Mr Sticagnoli, and other, musician, exhibit on these videos. I also hold these musicians in high regard and promote their work often, wondering why the are not house-hold names. As for my initial comments, I probably gave the title of the video more significance than was necessary. I was also influenced by another comment, that others thought inappropriate, but I understood the thinking and felt there was no malice intended. In hind-sight, my comments were probably unnecessary and a distraction...but they were not irrelevant, narrow minded or uneducated...and no harm was ever intended. I am far from being as talented as these musicians, but I have played guitar for almost 40 years and this experience is were I get my appreciation for the talent and long hours needed to reach this level of performance. It also gives me some insight into what may or may not be practical about certain techniques. And, thought my comment only touched a couple of items, they were not my only thoughts or considerations. In 200 years, will the guitar be played laying flat...no. Will Mr. Sticagnoli's efforts and talent be lost to us in 200 years...no they will not. What he gives us is timeless, and he has already influenced someone, who will influence others, which will influences others, and will have a direct impact on what is being played, 200 years from now.

Because truthfully, Music will be here long after we're all gone, and it's such a beautiful play on the world around us, feelings, whether good or bad, just us as human's at our rawest. For that I'm forever thankful, So thank you Luca for getting me to realize the beauty in music again, and pick up my guitars after months/years of not playing. This is what I needed to see and hear to kickstart my life again :)

      uhm. He used the basic method of vibrating a string to produce a pitch. Granted in an unorthodox way, but he is playing the guitar.
      And by the way, given that you feel so compelled as to declare that you can say whatever you want and that you don't care, It is obvious that you are going against the musician purely to just go against him and cause drama. It's silly. We know you're going to say whatever you want and that you don't care, it's the internet.
