    Jan Cyrka playing his tune 'Brief Encounter' live in the studio.

    Alternatively, you can buy the enhanced version of the album "Spirit", which includes the original version of this track.
    Technical Data:
    The Guitar is a Kramer Nightswan loaded with a PRS HFS pickup in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Jeff beck in the middle position. There is a boost circuit built into the guitar which Jan made with a little help from some techy friends. The Nightswan was given to Jan by Kramer when on tour in the US with Zodiac Mindwarp (who were supporting Guns and Roses on the' Appetite for Destruction' Stadium tour). The Amp is a Cornford Roadhouse 30 as displayed at the end of the film.
    MORE ABOUT JAN.......
    Jan Cyrka is probably best known for three solo albums full of meaty guitar playing: "Beyond the Common Ground", "Spirit" and "Prickly Pear". However, Jan's career began in the 1980s when he was guitarist-in-chief with cartoon biker band Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, supporting Guns 'n' Roses on extensive tours of the US and Canada. He now composes and records music for a variety of clients and his music has appeared on TV shows and movies such as Friends, Hi-Fidelity (John Cusack), The Fast and the Furious, Saturday Night Live, America's Most Wanted, Wife Swap, The Jeremy Kyle Show, Absolutely Fabulous and many others.
    Jan produced the monthly instructional CD accompanying Guitarist magazine for over ten years, and has worked with many of the world's finest players in his studio, including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Mick Taylor, Pat Travers, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jerry Donohue, Billy Sheehan and Zakk Wylde. Jan also produced and mixed Guthrie Govan incredible first album 'Erotic Cakes'.

    Jan was my first electric guitar teacher from Guitarist Magazine nearly 30 years ago. This was one of the first lessons from Melodic Rock/Hoodlum Corner(?) sections. Beautiful piece of music. I frequently come back and watch this. I wish we had youtube all those years ago.

    Unbelievable performance. That song is phenomenal. Has the same level of feeling as The loner by Gary Moore.

    That is possibly one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard.

    With so much shredding on TH-cam it's refreshing to listen to a guitarist like Jan who can compose, produce and play from the heart with such emotion. Although he can play fast, evidently here it's often the simplest and subtleties of music which are the most moving. This track is beautiful.

    Jan has always been a dynamic player with a unique style & an uncanny use of trem bar techniques. One awesome player with such great tones.

    I like fast guitar playing styles, but quite often I find it much more difficult to do
    slow phrasing and to tell a story with a lot of feeling and melody. You are a great guitar player Mr. Cyrka. 5 stars.

      no one is holding a gun to your head and making you watch people play fast. I cant stand Hip Hop but there is nothing i can do to change that lol Just listen to whatever type of music works best for you and dont put others down. Some people just enjoy playing fast.

      I was stating an opinion, dude, Jesus, take a chill pill. I wasn't saying playing bad was bad, just that too many people focus on it as a benchmark for skill, and it was refreshing to see a video like this. I wasn't actually putting anyone down, so really no need to be a douche. It's not like I was posting hate on a video where a guy was playing fast, and going out of my way to be a dick.

    Let me ask you a question. If you were simply listening with your eyes closed... would it matter? Does it matter what kind of brush a painter uses as long as they make a beautiful painting? Music is art... and as such is not restricted by rules.... just the creation of art. I listen to this and hear a person with incredible feel and sense of melody. Period. Bravo to a beautiful song and performance.

  • @moonchard
    @moonchard 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing tone and melody!

    I've read all the comments here and I do not understand how a minority can suggest this melody would be improved with wider vibrato and the use of finger vibrato rather than using a whammy! To use a wider vibrato would be like having a delicate cake with a metre of icing on the top. This track is perfect and it makes no difference what so ever if finger or a whammy bar is used for vibrato. The end result is what matters not the tools used.

    He did use the Hamer Diablo for quite some time (which he still owns) but eventually succumbed to the superiority of the Nightswan. The Palmbay was something that was about to happen but in reality didn't. Just one of those things!
