check out this dude do classical guitar covers of famous pop songs

[foodcrisis]

i favorited this on you tube a few months ago and was thinking about making a post about this.

i'm guessing this guy legitimately finds out these classical style arrangements from pop songs by ear with knowledge of guitar... however i feel like he might have some type of spiritual muse where he was playing guitar in a past life or he's getting some information that has been around longer than the actual pop songs from the radio.

like guitar has been around for so long that i can't really believe that no one has put together these song arrangements before the actual pop songs came out. like some human probably created these arrangements on guitar long before we even had the technology to record music.. i really wouldn't be surprised if there were some type of secret organization that documents music and they have some ancient sheet music with these songs written, and some of the artists on the radio might actually have their songs written by people that knew about this sheet music... one of the main reasons they even play these songs on the radio could be to study if a person can actually arrange the old music texts... like maybe i'm wrong and it's all just coincidence. maybe people wrote those songs before and it was never documented, or i could just be way off and all of this is just new stuff... anyways fun to think about.

this version of 'you're still the one" by shania twain really is so obvious to be played on guitar, i don't see how even if it wasn't written centuries ago that someone in the 60's or 70's had to have composed it.



whatever it is. this dude is a pretty accomplished guitarist. not sure if this is spiritual discussion or fits the music board. it's definitely music discussion, but i'm thinking about some pretty abstract and stuff from the spiritual realm... i feel like since it's links to music, it's okay in the music forums. thanks.

also makes me think that music is a spirit that wants to come back through people. like these arrangements of notes will exist again and again, probably all across the universe forever.

i say these tunings are obvious... i've never made music as complex before.. i don't mean to sound full of myself, but it just sounds like something from an ancient fair or something and so much like stuff from the 60's/70's or whatever. it's really complex but it's just standard scales and what not.

Bit like as it starts as a sad story, that organically goes though different stages.
Not Jewish but its about the destruction of the Temple Mountain in Jeruzalem.

Organic in the story has all you expect human lyric s & intonation can capture.
Despair sadness acceptance beautiful universal bursts of vocal sound.
Accompanied by, like they are one, by the Guitarist.

At 6:20 when the beat boxing & guitar instrumental starts & at 8:40.
It gets real bizar ! Is that what if i listen Goo Goo you mean.

The way he beat boxes is amzing as it creates a 3-d audio effect,
accompanied by the guitar that some times seems to dissonant the beats.
And other moments balances. This also a live recording.

To me it seems as it always was is and will be.

beat boxing like that takes a lot of energy... around 6 minutes the singing reminds me of the jewish band guster... that dude might even be a better singer... dig the vibe, a little different and more hip hop than folk i usually go for, but it's definitely awesome stuff.... i saw rahzel the human beat box one time and my friend was always crazy at beat boxing.. i could never get the hang of it.

as i'm kind of questioning my contribution to this site.. i remember this is a good thread that i think is something people would be interested in even if they aren't commenting on it.

i saw this metallica video a couple weeks ago and was thinking about it.. with the history we go by standard guitar tuning that a lot of these metallica songs were in was being explored for thousands of years before we even had electric guitars... these acoustic versions this guy is playing, i again have to assume someone would've thought to try out these note combinations centuries ago. it kind of is what it is and what music should sound like. i have the same thing to say about the first two videos i posted in this thread. the metallica stuff is darker, but how was it that no one thought to write dark music centuries ago.. idk:



i conspired that the shania twain song i posted about above was maybe written by music executives that knew the original classic guitar version.. i just really don't know.. maybe she is also just connected to the spirit of music or it's as simple as this guy is playing the notes of the singing in the shania twain song and it sounds classical.. maybe it hasn't been documented by a secret government... but generally i think there is a spirit of music, and music will come back through different people by chance...

i also conspire that the members of metallica might be MK ultra experiments and they were shown this music.. the classical guitar parts in metallica are centurties old, and then electrric guitar was created and groups of under ground occult members wrote metallica. they could've shown the members of metallica all the tunings from a past history of occult knowlege when they were babies, and they realize that information as adults unconsciously and are better musicians.. it's possible. some people might not like this theory of conspiracy... i also post about how i think i was shown paintings and music as a child as some form of MK ultra experiment... some one actually led me on to that the history of music goes further than what we know on another message board as well. this post isn't all stuff that just came to me. i thought it was interesting so i'm sharing it.

aside from metallica being MK ultra victims though, i think they could just have a serious spiritual connection with music and are writing stuff that was written by other musicians centuries ago and then turning it metal on their own. they are taking information from the other site and making it their own.. no human taught them like i conspire about MK ultra.. i just sometimes think it might be the MK ultra thing. that generally you could show certain babies that pay attention a certain way art or music and they will do it as an adult. i've talked before on this site about that... but that's what i think about this music... either way the metallica sounds really good on this guy's guitar. i could see my thoughts ruining metallica or music for someone, but on the other end of that, i think some one might find it interesting... like some of this metallica video is a lot like the pace of what they put for music from medieval (had to look up the spelling of this) times.. i feel like it could've been like a lesser known area's musician that originally wrote the song and it was just passed on by secret groups of peple.. there is sheet music from like way before guitar was invented too. why wouldn't they've made the classical parts of metallica before metallica and recorded it on sheet music.. i'm conspiring that they even had ways of recording before what history claims stuff was created, but whatever..

this is the oldest piece of music supposedly... the last forty seconds sound a lot like the screamo genre.. i know some other posters made threads about emo and screamo, but plenty of thousands of years ago people were playing some pretty punk stuff



i wonder if this is really what it sounded like or if this person is off with their interpretation of sheet music, but they definitely had the music transcription we use today for thousands of years before what's going on today.

So i got recommended this guy doing "blanka's theme" from the super nintendo video game system's version of Street Fighter 2...

this is another one of those music pieces where i don't see how guitar existed with this tuning for thousands of years and the song was never documented. these are all scales that have been around and supposedly this piece is from the video game from the 90's and never created before... like all the stuff i posted in the thread above, i think it's very possible that these were older music pieces and then the people that made the video game just made synth versions of really old guitar, possibly working with a secret government that has more info on history than the public really knoews... i think this could actually be some type of government test. they want to see if anybody can study classical guitar enough and learn what the old versions of these songs were.. i wouldn't be surprised if there were really old recordings or sheet music for the acoustic version of this song... this dude is super talented being able to do these versions just from the information of the video. he really knows classical guitar. pretty impressive... out of these two clips of him doing street fighter songs, "blanka's theme" is my favorite.. it reminds me of the you tube guitarist Ewan Dobson's intense style, but he does a lot of other non standard tunings.


Blanka's theme Steet fighter 2 version:


Blanka's theme street fighter 2 ACOUSTIC:


Vega's theme Street fighter 2 version:


Vega's stage street fighter two, ACOUSTIC VERSION:


In street fighter the character "Vega" is from spain, and that's supposed to be the spanish themed battle stage... it sounds a lot like stereotypical spanish classic guitar that influenced it.. i don't think the notes in the acoustic version really go along with the video game stuff as well as Blanka's theme... anyways, i feel like this also has been a composition long before street fighter.

Also, the synthesized music from the early video games is so hypnotic imo... i feel like the synth music got me into the video games a lot more than the guitar versions would've got me when i was a child... not always, but i think sometimes synthesizer can be more captivating or hypnotic whatever you'd want to say. i think this is why pop and rap music are so big now days.. i can really feel some early video games sound track with the early synth sounds.

anyways, this subject really interests me.. i hope someday that there is a secret government data base that releases all unknown historical stuff like what i am talking about in this thread. like there is an unknown to the public history of music that they don't let us know about to see if people can replicate it with out hearing it... that would really be interesting. if they aren't doing that. they should set up some type of simulation and not show everyone all the music we have and see if some one will come along and recreate the same music and how similar it would be.. i think that be an interesting use of time studying the way humans work.

what about this? these mouth harps have to been around for centuries, so simple to make... imagine back in the day. there's no music but some traveling shaman dude comes to your village and plays one of these:



it doesn't really start to sound like familiar techno to me till about a minute in, but i've definitely heard stuff that sounds like that.. i know PBS or whatever documents some pretty weird passed down from ancient whenever music from tribes around the world, but this mouth harp is pretty crazy, and i could see that type of stuff being around way before people would've thought.. just the natural foot stomping keeping the beat, it's how someone would dance with the instrument.. idk. i feel like this kid is really tapping into history and thought space that kind of runs all through out the universe. same thing with all that classical music i posted, or really any music in general... like i feel like this song would be made anyways if it weren't for techno. would this particular kid have made it? i really don't know... but i feel like music just kind of comes from a certain part of the universe or it just exists latent in people's mind. the music will come back through different people always with people have the technology of instruments.
