From 2:50 to 3:00 is a fantastic triplet arpeggio played outside and against the chords that somehow works so good it just kills. Birelli cooks hard and fast on this Chick Corea song.
Having said that, this is really an historic performance, and I think that even Corea would recommend it as the best of interpretations of his composing
I was lucky enough to see Bereli in about 1982 in Stuttgart when he was just a kid..he was acompanied by his brothers..all wearing workers hats and smoking on stage!..It was a magical evening I've never forgotten.
So goddamned great! THIS, my fellow guitarplayers, is truly among the most difficult style of playing around... Im in AWE! Nais tuke, dja devlesa mire pralas! Dja devlesa! :D
Please Humans !! Music is meant to Unite people !!!! leave your Egos outside, Please!!!! I love Birelli he is mi favorit but I also love The Rosenberg trio, Dubare, Luc ... and all Birelli's company. They are friends for God's shake!!!!Lets enjoy the beauty they are giving to us and be a part of it all!
Bireli was slouched back in chair relaxing while Rosenberg solos...the he straightened up and ripped his solo. Rosenberg is a monster playing that manolo style guitar so fast and clean.
Very smooth, I don't know if it's the sound man who set the levels so perfect that it could go right onto a CD, or the musicians playing so well, perhaps both. Excellent job!
Bireli never gets lost. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and I've never heard anyone, ever, like this player -- he knows his way around the instrument better than most of us guys know our cocks. It's a higher target to aim for I guess..
Bireli´s solo is awesome - sounds like one by George Benson -> his California Dreaming version (for those who dont know - very very relaxing song!) it is so impressing how fluent and emotional they play - they truly manage it to let a guitar sing, awesome
I love Light as a Feather, great album. You're Everything, Captain Marvel, 500 Miles High, and Spain are simply amazing songs - especially the latter two. It's pretty awesome to watch these guys. They sure can play! Proof that hammer-ons and pull-offs are more interesting than plain shred.
omg, I know Spain in different versions but This is amazing. Birelli solo...what can I said. Listen Guthrie Govan Spain version. Incredible too ( other style obviously)
I love it when the gypsies play out of the traditional QHCF repertoire. I'd like to see Bireli with Bela Fleck and Chick Corea (the author of this tune) come WB! Get it done.
You're right. This idea that the top of the mountain can hold only one person is ridiculous. There's room for many, even folks who never receive an ounce of notoriety.
@chillichomper Yup. Chick Corea off Return to Forever's "Light As A Feather" album was the first appearance I think. It's become a modern Jazz standard by now though with quite a lot of people covering it but mostly guitarists since it's very flamenco influenced & the perfect vehicle for melodic soloing.
We've come to expect the awesome fireworks from Lagrene and Rosenberg, but there is no mention of the rhythm guitarist or the bassist. Those two guys are awesome as well.
Possibly a Johnny Smith Model Gibson. After looking at the headstock, fretmarkers, single cut arch top, single pickup with volume & tone knobs on the pick guard etc. That's what it looks like he's playing. Anyone have any other thoughts?
I been playing and teaching guitar for a long time and it so idiotic to say who's the best. Sylvain Luk was onstage too and he's no slouch. I like all these guys a lot Bireli, Stochelo, Slvain, Pat Matino, Larry Coryell etc. Any one of them or more could be considered to be "one of the best ever" but's it's all what you like or what rings your bell. I'm on a lifetime quest to see how good I can be but don't think I could ever be as good as these guys, but as long as my hands work I'll try.
I'll add to my previous comment.. I was such a Django freak in those days..I was only a kid myself..what divided me from my "electric" friends was my love of jazz..Gypsy guitar jazz... did any budding guitarist see the lightning finger work?..makes shredders look like hacks eh?..God i wih I had an ounce of that talent!
@SAK47RAMENTO Distortion (pedals anyway) adds compression, which in turn covers up the articulation and technique of the player. Some pedals manage to compress in a very natural way, and make it sound organic. Now, I will say, people that play distorted AMPS have a lot of talent. Cranking up a Marshall or the like creates a much more organic, and in turn, unforgiving, overdrive. I will agree though, the best are the ones that play articulately and cleanly in either situation.
people say this guys better than hendrix and all sorts of other guitarists, granted the guy is really fucking good but cmon yngwie would show him a trick or 9000000 as would batio no disrespect to either of these great players !!! I love what they do and i love me the jazz!!!! respect and thanks for making awesome music
@jan1080 IOW, fretting and picking is technically more demanding on acoustic guitars, while keeping a clean tone without noise is harder with distortion. I love using distortion btw. Squeals are fun, hahah.
what amazing version of Spain!!!!!! its' already in my favorites! i didn't knew who Stochelo Rosenberg was simply amazing!! The Guitarist who is seated between Bireli and Rosenberg at 5:06 ...Is He Christian Escoude (Or Scoude... i don't know how it is spelled right..i saw a documentary of him in the tv and they said his name first as "Escoude" and couple of minutes later "Scoude")???? Any One????????????
After 13 years of intense research, I can tell you without any doubt that it’s « Escoudé ». I can finally move on and live my life again, can’t wait to see how tall are my kids.
the real song is fast... google Chic Corea's free jazz version with Gonzalo Rubalcaba... and tell me if it loses its identidad ;)... the concept of jazz is the flexibility of a songs identity... lagrene's solo is beautiful
True that but I did say "And besides...". As in, to cover to ways of looking at it. What I mean is that Spain was originally written as a samba. However in jazz, you're free to play whatever however you want. Guess I should've written it a bit clearer.
Hey there mjtsl and TimTimmeychoochoo whatever...please direct us to posts of you guys playing your perfectly 'spaced' jams which 'breathe' so effortlessly. These guys fart better music than you guys could make on your best day! Eat it girls!
they didnt change the time signature at all they just sped it up......i reckon its great, the tune is obviously there and it all fits well........o and to all those who think bireli just fucks up he doesnt.....he has repetative strain injuries from playing guitar constantly......thats why he messes up a bit
I've seen this video about fifty times recently, and everytime Bireli starts with that solo I close my eyes and forget about all my problems...
No effects, no pyrotechnics, no loops, no auto-tune just straight ahead raw talent in your face!
In this song, it's Nous'che's perfect rhythm playing that gives the unique atmosphere. Insane rhythm!
That strum pattern hard af that fast
That rhythm guitar player is inside such control on volume and rhythm
The manouche guys take rhythm guitar very seriously!
Yes dude, great line up!!
Stochelo Rosenberg (Lead Guitar)
Yogi Bear (Lead Guitar)
Charlie Sheen (Rhythm Guitar)
Robert De Niro (Contrabass)
ROBERT DE NIRO AHAHAHAHAHA
Puercorpse .And you ➡Timmy ( South Park)...
LMAO!
stocholo is the underdog always and when his solo comes he kills it ..hes the man
The guy that impresses me the most is the rythm guitarist! Listen to that beat!
that's incredible, not only the soloing but listen to how fast that rhythm guitarist is playing
II really adore this song. What a serious pace. Brilliant. Thank you so much for posting.
i love all the charlie parker licks bireli throws in there . this guy is next next level

His name is Bireli
Bireli plays so fast, but his sounds stays pure, amazing
So goddamned great! THIS, my fellow guitarplayers, is truly among the most difficult style of playing around... Im in AWE! Nais tuke, dja devlesa mire pralas! Dja devlesa! :D
How can someone not like this?
i know right
Please Humans !! Music is meant to Unite people !!!! leave your Egos outside, Please!!!!

Wow !!!!!!!
Pure Talents and beautiful music !!!
this is simply fantastic. whoever tried to make music must understand this!!!
Unbelievable. The best version yet!
Very smooth, I don't know if it's the sound man who set the levels so perfect that it could go right onto a CD, or the musicians playing so well, perhaps both. Excellent job!
Bravissimi: meno male che c'è ancora questo livello musicale in essere!! Complimenti a tutti
Bireli never gets lost. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and I've never heard anyone, ever, like this player -- he knows his way around the instrument better than most of us guys know our cocks.
It's a higher target to aim for I guess..
Loool
I love these guys
i heard bireli , when he was 13 !! he was brilliant , already....he HAS improved... ;-)
I dont know, but when I listen to this, I've got a big smile
wow...!! jazz lives every where in any culture....
Truly great!!!
I don't even see how this is possible!
How?
These guys are "pretty amazing"
Oh, this is absolutely awesome.
This is an awesome interpretation. Love it!
God I love music!
Che solo che tira Birelì...da apnea...bellissimo.
i am absolutley speechless
Me encanta es increíble como tocan
Bireli´s solo is awesome - sounds like one by George Benson -> his California Dreaming version (for those who dont know - very very relaxing song!)

I think it is just great.
I think it's fantastic! Really pulls in a lot of that Spanish vibe...
Fantasztikus zene,zenészek
Tear!

BIRELI IS THE GREAT
Un rayon de soleil, par ce temps .../
omg, I know Spain in different versions but This is amazing. Birelli solo...what can I said. Listen Guthrie Govan Spain version. Incredible too ( other style obviously)

Bireli est juste magique. :-)
Awesome.

Stochelo is on freaking fire!!!
You're right. This idea that the top of the mountain can hold only one person is ridiculous. There's room for many, even folks who never receive an ounce of notoriety.
Awesome!
hell yea they did
i ♥ this
i really, really like it ! :)))
Que Belleza!!!
Yeah there are sitting two of 10 bests guitar players in whole world, write an e-mail to them, give them a lesson.
WOW, AWESOME!!
@chillichomper Yup. Chick Corea off Return to Forever's "Light As A Feather" album was the first appearance I think. It's become a modern Jazz standard by now though with quite a lot of people covering it but mostly guitarists since it's very flamenco influenced & the perfect vehicle for melodic soloing.
muito bom mesmo !!!
Yessss
Haha! trust these guys to take a killer tune and speed it up even more, incredible!
Stochelo Rosenberg nacio solo 8 dias antes que yo.saludos desde Argentina.
We've come to expect the awesome fireworks from Lagrene and Rosenberg, but there is no mention of the rhythm guitarist or the bassist. Those two guys are awesome as well.

Wow! Bravo!!!
great
@andrenuk talent is french for hardwork, practice and dedication.
This shit is so fluid. 🔥
Impressionante!!!

@krissjr
the piece is from the fusion dude himself, chick corea.
Stochelo killed the song!
daaaaaaaaah... i just saw a video of him playing violin

@wesman0120 The fast sort, with ultra quick neuromuscular connections and the optional sub-micron accuracy...

Swing masters
Euk Euk!🤘
just try listening if you still can't fathom jazz or maybe music in general.
this is by far the fastest version ive ever heard
@jan1080 IOW, fretting and picking is technically more demanding on acoustic guitars, while keeping a clean tone without noise is harder with distortion.
I love using distortion btw. Squeals are fun, hahah.
jazz manouche lo mejor de lo mejor !
Okay, who else went cross eyed when they watched this?
what amazing version of Spain!!!!!!
its' already in my favorites!
i didn't knew who Stochelo Rosenberg was simply amazing!!
The Guitarist who is seated between Bireli and Rosenberg at 5:06 ...Is He Christian Escoude (Or Scoude... i don't know how it is spelled right..i saw a documentary of him in the tv and they said his name first as "Escoude" and couple of minutes later "Scoude")????

bireli = god

les meilleurs guitariste manouche reuni terrible les mecs
@r3ck0rd no stochelo didn't mess up.. but what did the 3d guitarist doing at the end.. It took the concentration away for a second!!
