I've been obsessed with guitar interpretations of this piece. Probably 10-15+ covers i found did not leverage finger tapping or felt near this technical. Thanks for making this :)
@@empireofshred9612 I did however, find a beautiful version of this song played more classically. Search for belgrade Guitar District and BMV 565. A classical guitarist did amazing work on this song! You might appreciate idk
@@wickedmusicbox Thank you so much man! That means a great deal coming from you! I just came back to check out your video again after a few years here. I never saw your comment before now. I'm going to be using this as an inspiration for the students on my mailing list on the subject of innovation. It's funny, I wasn't expecting to be so blown away again!
I commented this once years ago and I'll comment it again. This video should have 10 times the views my Toccata and Fugue arrangement has. This is unreal.
The tablature and a complete lesson for this version of "Toccata and Fugue" is in my guitar instruction dvd "ASAP Two Hand Tapping" available on my web site shown at the front of this youtube video and amazon.com
LOL! Thanks!! Hey, if you are interested in learning some or all of this arrangement of "Toccata and Fugue" I offer live online guitar lessons where I can show you how to play it and give you my tablature transcription. Here's the link to my live guitar coaching: guitartricks.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?calendarID=1274409&fbclid=IwAR35LuhmQIjAsO_BNLAO351u0GQvGwofQ5T3_92nJZSa7dDNn2hDfTZP5IU
@The S......well their algorithm obviously works as last night I was viewing a Japanese guy playing this exact piece on electric guitar......then today, up pops Dave Celentanos version!
I've seen so many classically trained metal guitarists and the only reason they never took it far with classical was because they loved tapping too much. In classical guitar playing you have to grow your fingernails out so you can use them as picks so therefore no tapping. You brought metal back into a classical lovers life. Very well executed, very clean, and perfect tempo. Excellent!
Dave Celentano , he is my TEACHER , I started proper guitar learning in 1998 with his three books 1- Flying fingers , 2- Magic touch , 3- Killer pentatonics and continued with his other books ( Rock arround the classics , modal jams and theory , speed metal , over the top , rock licks , power rhythm , etc ) I recommend his book (Flying Fingers) as a daily practice for all guitarists from beginners to advanced ones
I bought this guy's Flying Fingers on CASSETTE in 1995. I wore the tape out! Still to this day, Dave's the most talented 8 finger tapper I've ever heard.
Thanks for your positive words!! I'm offering online guitar lessons if want to work on Toccata and Fugue or anything else guitar. Here's the promo video: th-cam.com/video/dPL9gNDa9TM/w-d-xo.html
J.S. Bach would be mesmerized!! Amazing...and anyone who plays guitar knows it takes a virtuoso to play a complex transcribed piece like this so flawlessly! Holy WOW!!!
@@wickedmusicbox Ok thanks so much for your reply! I will be purchasing your dvd soon as this piece is amazing and I want to learn it. Also great performance!
I come periodically to this song just to assume how much I suck and how much I need to improve just to be a normal guitarrist. Thank you very much Mr Celentano for showing how much we can improve and how much we can suck at the same time. Much respect.
Jesus, this is astonishingly good. Excellent feel & expression - much closer to an organ than every other guitar version. Yet all done with a guitar tone! Well done!
I show how to play 'Toccata and Fugue' and many other great classical pieces in my new course "Classical Concepts For Rock Guitar". See a free preview at my web site advertised at the beginning of this video.
I came here looking for a solution to how i could play certain parts and my god have i been shot out of the sky O.O huge compliments to Dave this is pure genius!!!!
@@wickedmusicbox i appreciate your help very much :) ty for the offer, thing is i am just getting back into playing guitar and your tapping skills are just over and beyond of what i can do at the moment. Im just starting to see that tapping is a tool i could use for some of those difficult parts in Bachs Toccata and fugue so im still at the very beginnig
Sure. Give me your email and I'll send you the first page. Once you've got that playable, make a short video of yourself performing the first page and send it to me. Once I see you can play it correctly I'll send you page 2.
Excuse me for my bad english.........I am French !!! JS Bach could be proud. The Toccata was very very rock and I think he choose an organ because it was the most powerfull instrument. If JS Bach could be present now, I think he could love electric guitar. Dave, I was searching on You Tube the best Toccata on electric guitar, and I think you are the best because you play it with respect. You don't destroy the original, and it it a very high performance. Congratulations.
Dave you´re awesome, please send us a tutorial of this fantastic execution or at least the tablatures, this is the best version that i ever have listened in my life...
Thanks Jonattan!! I teach how to play this version of "Toccata and Fugue" in my dvd "ASAP Two Hand Tapping" (tabs included): www.musicdispatch.com/product/viewproduct.action?itemid=1292 It's also available on Amazon.com

The bestest comment brother!
One of the cleverest comments I've ever read.
Still the best version on youtube! I rewatch it every year ;)
Thanks! I appreciate it!!
This is by far the best rendition to this piece on an electric guitar. It's glorious
Thanks and much appreciated!!!
Agree with that. . . . The most close to the organ's "feel" on those fast fiddly notes, very well played indeed.
I appreciate your comment! Thanks!@@earFront
Great rendition, but fugue, unfortunately, is incomplete...
Imo one of the most underrated version of this piece
Thank you very much Guha!!!

And this is the better
this is fu***ng clean
Fugueng clean
The clea#est
I swear Bach was a metalhead back then
I agree!!!
No, the Metal guitarist of today are classical musicians.
Lmao hell yea man!!! 🤙🤘😂😂🤣🤣
Bach was a metalhead without electricity
The pipe organ was his synthesizer.
This video should have over 100 million views. Awesome!
***** Thanks Brotha!
***** really..
***** Your classical interpretations are awesome!!
+DanMummSolo Wonder what you think of my version.... would be honoured if you take a listen..

This really shows the influence Bach has on metal.
Good job.
Bach's Toca&Fugue on el.Guitar best version :)
th-cam.com/video/Di4UNfrLBLs/w-d-xo.html
I would LOVE to see Bach watching & listening to this!
How could he NOT be thrilled with this?!
Thanks brotha!!
I commented this once years ago and I'll comment it again. This video should have 10 times the views my Toccata and Fugue arrangement has. This is unreal.
Best performance ever of Toccata and fugue on guitar!
I agree 100%. Absolutely beautiful and amazing!
See commander in chief for maybe a few less taps... nonetheless genius!
Bach's Toca&Fugue on el.Guitar best version :)
th-cam.com/video/Di4UNfrLBLs/w-d-xo.html
The best version anywhere!
Thanks so much!! It's a lot of dedicated and patient practice.
This has got to be the most impressive version of Tocacata on guitar I've ever seen :D Really well done!
Thanks Alexander!
Absolute wizardry! That’s the original heavy metal music right there…. Played flawlessly and made to look easy and for one know it isn’t 👍🏻
Thanks Steve! Toccata and Fugue is the heavy metal song of classical music.
This is the best cover on youtube. I literally vomit when I watch anyone else trying to hold a candle to monster that is J.S. Bach.
Playing J.S. Bach is not easy and took me a while to arrange learn Toccata and Fugue for guitar. Thank you so much!!
The tablature and a complete lesson for this version of "Toccata and Fugue" is in my guitar instruction dvd "ASAP Two Hand Tapping" available on my web site shown at the front of this youtube video and amazon.com
How is it possible this guy is not as famous as he could be?
This is simply amazing! by far the best version ive heard, never been a fan of the tapping technique, but now im changing my mind.
Me too,i love it.
One of the greatest guitarists/guitar teachers of all time
Wow!! Thanks so much!!
This is by far my favorite electrical guitar rendition on this piece on youtube. Thanks for sharing with us.
+Valo Gonzalez I've seen many great versions of "Toccata and Fugue" on youtube, so your comment means a lot. Thanks Valo!!!
Well that about takes the cake for both Bach on electric guitar and tapping as a way of life. I’ll be studying this for the rest of the year.

500 years ago they would have burned you at the stake.. because this is magic.
bach was fired from his organist job for writing this because they thought it was devil music
side winder lol just like today
bor ogoro Lol!!! He's from another planet.
th-cam.com/video/PAz9GbBW5Z4/w-d-xo.html check this guy
Problem: This masterpiece wasnt written 500 years ago.. .. Plot twist: Bach was a timetraveler !
I've got to admit, I have never seen this tapped and on a Les Paul too. Amazing!
Thanks! I hope you dug my interpretation.
Hey youtube, how about recommending this for everyone to see?
Yeah, I agree!!
@The S......well their algorithm obviously works as last night I was viewing a Japanese guy playing this exact piece on electric guitar......then today, up pops Dave Celentanos version!
If you have also notated Toccata and Fugue in D minor from your version in Tab, these are available for download
Thanks for the compliments! Glad you dig my tapping version of "Toccata and Fugue".

Thanks so much for the props!! Much appreciated. Did you ever take private 1 on 1 lessons from me or just learning from my books?
@@wickedmusicbox Just from the books , at the days of casssete tapes and then C.ds , from centerstream publications - Ron MIddlebrooke , through mail
I bought this guy's Flying Fingers on CASSETTE in 1995. I wore the tape out! Still to this day, Dave's the most talented 8 finger tapper I've ever heard.
Thanks for the props Matt!!!! Hope the book kept your 'fingers flying'!
Me too. Cover have wings and fingers so flying fingers ha ha. It has two right hand finger stuff, last song.
Little finger is hard to do tapping.
Man that les paul is beautiful
Sou Brasileiro... Nunca vi alguém fazer tapping com tanta perfeição e segurança!! Parabéns brother!
Wow!!! Thanks Julio!! Much appreciated!

@@wickedmusicbox Hey, I was just wondering if I were to play this version, would I need a capo?

@@wickedmusicbox Ok thanks so much for your reply! I will be purchasing your dvd soon as this piece is amazing and I want to learn it. Also great performance!
@@wickedmusicbox oh and also is this in standard tuning?
I come periodically to this song just to assume how much I suck and how much I need to improve just to be a normal guitarrist. Thank you very much Mr Celentano for showing how much we can improve and how much we can suck at the same time. Much respect.
LOL and thanks for listening!! It's a whole lotta practice and discipline.

Es la mejor ejecución que vi en todo youtube. Sería extraordinario que lo enseñe con tabs

Somebody get me a dustpan and brush - my face just melted right off me...Incredible stuff!

Insane 8 finger tapping. These classical movements always elicit memories of Randy Rhoads [R.I.P.] Simply beautiful.
Thanks Wolverine!! Hey, I recognize that guitar!
Wow! The first person, other than John Williams, that I have seen play this properly on guitar!
Awesome Dave!!
Thanks Tony!!
Tony Burnett actually it was the late Kevin Peek, and not John Williams, who played the majority of guitar on Sky's version of Toccata.
oh damn that was so clean
Thanks so much!!
impresionante..un maestro de la guitarra
+Pablo Sartori Thanks Pablo!!
Really awesooome
