Fantasie Impromptu - Fredric Chopin (Covered by K-Fox)

SpeedStar

I love classical, and I love this.
Waiting for someone to do a rock version of Mozart's K448 in D on Guitar.

Bumblefoot with the same piece. Not a live performance though (there is one, but it's not good quality sound):

I love the Fantasy Impromptu - and most of the rest of Chopin's compositions.

This guy is good and he is fast, but he does not really keep to the Chopin composition, either in the number of notes plays, nor in the actual notes played, or with the feel and emotion.

I don't know. I think Chopin would have approved of some of it.

Your right, K-Fox likes to speed up the original tempo to make it sound more Rock, but it's fun listening to different interpretations. The piano version done by Uli Schinkmann is my favourite. Although not guitar, it is very beautiful.

Now someone do Mozarts K448 in D for 2 pianos, or Pablo de Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy violin Concerto, on guitar. Now that would be Awesome.

Damn - Bumblefoot is just too awesome.

I know what you mean. It's like a recording I have of Elliot Fisk playing Paganini's Caprices - Technically I'm impressed that someone can pull it off on a guitar (especially a nylon), but If I want to listen to the music, I'll listen to Isthak Perlman playing it on the violin.
