6661joshua In a way you are right. Look, I play both electrical (blues, rock etc) and also classical guitar, of course not even close to the level of this kid. One thing is for sure, master the classical guitar is way way more complicated than the electrical guitar, it requires literally thousands of hours of dedication, not so if you want to be a good blues guitarrist
thats becuz you guys dont make things, just reproduce, and when you guys try to make music its a piece of crap. So stick to the real classical players while we make the real modern deal ;)
I have collected recordings of variations and transcriptions of Paganini's 24th caprice since before I attended college (for more than 40 years). I have versions played on a tuba, a glass harmonica, drums, and even washboards and saws. I participated in the recording of a new-age, jazz version for a musical project at Cornell University. This performance on acoustic guitar is-without doubt-the most talented, pleasing and moving rendition that I have experienced. It is also remarkably faithful to the original violin composition. Considering the technical complexity of matching the many violin techniques and sounds on a guitar, it's clear that this artist is gifted beyond any words that I can find to praise her performance. Viewing and listening to this CZcams video is very uplifting. It is truly a great thrill. Thank you, Li Jie. You light up my life. You are amazing!
Talented beyond recognition, for sure. Uplifting - no. It is impossible to be uplifted when one is steeped in unfathomable jelousy at a.. 14 year-old who has attained what I never will and what people who have studies the instrument for decades never will either.
Nah, she ain't. She's pretty good, but nothing beyond that. Pretty shallow interpretation. She doesn't give it a romantic alla Liszt/Mendelssohn interpretation nor a Segovia-like purity achievement. She just play all the right notes in a good tempo. Nothing says best than the last 20 seconds of this video. Just bland, bland music. She never goes for a virtuoso-like feeling. But she's pretty good, I won't deny that.
This young lady outclasses most of the guitarists I have heard here in You Tube. She has a distinct technique and clarity in every single tone she brings up. I played capriccio 24 myself on both guitar and violin a couple of years ago. In several of the variations and especially the one with thirds and decimas as many otherwise simplify , Jie Li manages gallantly.
***** Hey, look at there, check this out, man! Do you see that too? There's like a piece of cloth there... Is she blindfolded, or something? OH YEAH! DUMBASS.
Rom Rom if you can play this song doesnt mean a thing, if you ask her to play Steve vai..it will be a hard, al di meola? another fail,..paco de lucia and his intricate moved...fail. when i learned to play fast and intracate passages i thought i knew it all..but i couldnt be more wrong. peace!
Who are the insecure 559 wannabes that down voted this. Li Jie at 13 and I still can't get her feel after 20 years. Incredible, masterful, go home cry babies.
I don't know why people would discredit her talent because of her ethnicity... Yea she's Asian and she has probably practiced loads but so do other musicians?
I have always admired this performance since 2009 , I actually quited from playing to enjoy such master pieces as this sample. My most sincere congratulations for Li Jie
his fingers are so flexible, running back and forth on the fingerboard, and producing an outstanding sound....I hope that when I finally master this song on the guitar as well, it will be as good as this!
Listen, it's cool if you don't know the guitarist's name and therefore refers to him as "unknown", however it's not cool to refers to him as "asian". By doing so you suggest there are differences in the capabilites between lets say europeans and asians, which everyone who's researched it will deny. Just try to imagine if he was european, would you have put that in the description?
Mere Eraso He is from Sweden. What do you expect? Sweden is the new Africa and the most liberal country in the world. They don't even use "he" or "she" anymore. People are all "it" in Sweden. The social constructs have really destroyed them.
Wow. It's not often people admit to intentionally having chosen words with racist underlinings, but you just had to go all out, didn't you? Enjoy your small collective illusion of power for as long as you can. I mean it. Because you'll soon find things crumbling around you.
George Dounos hahah nobody who actually plays violin would say that... If you try to play this peace on a violin, you will laugh at your own comment m8.
Guglielmo Vetere Its a joke XD i mean this is amazing talent no denying that. But I play violin bass and classical/electric guitar and this makes me lol so hard. Guitar in general is sooo much easier to play than violin. And this peace is one of the hardest to play very clean on violin, requires sooo much echnique of especially left hand but also bowing technique.
every now and then I keep coming back to this video ... this must be my 40th - 45th time watching this. thank you for keeping this video around! this is truly a treat for the ears and eyes.
W O W! You play so wonderfully that you can wake the dead up with your music. Your playing fills me up with so much peace and love. You are absolutely fabulous. Thank you for all the wonderful feelings and sensations you create with your instrument. Bravo. Bravo. I hope to be hearing more from you soon as I believe that also your whole audience does too. Bye for now.
Li Jie is probably the best guitarist that plays this "thing", that is a very masterpiece, in the essence. All the deaf that missed the like button are also deathbrains... just look the flames that raise on her fingers, no words.
great instrumentalists live off people like paganini. that's why paganini is immortal and this lady is as mortal as all of us. technology will never replace creativity but it will certainly replace instrumental performance. great skill though. thanks for the upload.
One of the most soulfull versions of this piece i ever see on a classical guitar. I am a heavy metal guitar player and know how challenging this piece is, i start working on it 3 months ago, but other than the most metalists, i try to play it clean, because distortion kills all the delicate parts. I watch this movie nearly one time a day, its wonderful how she play that.
This is the MOST INCREDIBLE GUITAR PLAYING I have ever seen or heard in ALL of my 45 years! What technical prowess...and talent. Just unbelievable. Period . END of Story. I believe this is what Randy Rhoads could have ended up playing, if he had lived, he LOVED classical guitar.
Wowwwww . What a rendition !!! I just saw the John Williams version ,that is great , but nothing is like this .Congratulations for this wonderfull lady .
That entire palm mute section is so amazing. I can palm mute but try doing it while finger picking, that's a whole new world of hard. Li Jie never ceases to amaze me. Seriously if not the best then very, very close to the best guitarist out there.
Very hard piece. When I first started playing it took me three months all day practicing to play it properly, even though I have over twenty five years experience with the guitar.
unbelievable talent, she's playing this piece when she was only teen, but some people like me, could not play this piece until old age. I admire her so much
Unknown guitar soloist?
Her name is Jie Li and she kicks asses big time!!
C'mon...
Let's hope it was a joke ;-)
She is Jie Li. Now a guitar teacher in the Central Conservatory of Music, China.
LOL
485 jealous pentatonic blues scale players
:D

i mean, those guys in those days were geniouses, you are not, sorry =/

Thank you, Li Jie. You light up my life. You are amazing!
see my comment above, would be interested in what you think
Time pass during quanritine
Yeah!! what this man just said 🤔
Talented beyond recognition, for sure. Uplifting - no. It is impossible to be uplifted when one is steeped in unfathomable jelousy at a.. 14 year-old who has attained what I never will and what people who have studies the instrument for decades never will either.
Unknown? She is Li Jie. Amazing World Class guitarist
beginner's luck lol
Amazing? No, she's allright and that's it.
Alright?? No, she is amazing!!
Nah, she ain't. She's pretty good, but nothing beyond that. Pretty shallow interpretation. She doesn't give it a romantic alla Liszt/Mendelssohn interpretation nor a Segovia-like purity achievement.

You're just jealous.
Worth repeating to keep the commentary up to date. She is the lovely, talented, Li Jie.

Probably,
watched this video over a hundred of times... Such a great performance.
You can feel bad after watching this if youre playing guitar.
its true man, im done ....:(
Why would this make me feel bad? This just inspires me to play more.
Love to see you do better mikey.
ooffffffff *****
***** Hey, look at there, check this out, man! Do you see that too? There's like a piece of cloth there... Is she blindfolded, or something? OH YEAH!
DUMBASS.
If you can play this song, you can play everything.
i have tabbed this, it seems more difficult than it really is, the most difficult parts is the arpeggios
it gives me a headhache this arpeggio.
Rom Rom if you can play this song doesnt mean a thing, if you ask her to play Steve vai..it will be a hard, al di meola? another fail,..paco de lucia and his intricate moved...fail. when i learned to play fast and intracate passages i thought i knew it all..but i couldnt be more wrong. peace!
Claudio Cruzat
thats common sense
Latin Lover for some.. not always
I couldn't play this song even if my brain was directly plugged to the guitar... just amazing...
she made me melt !! she combined the arrogance of the violin and the softness of the guitar :D just amazing
I'd like to see any video of some unknown guitarist with the description: "Unknown caucasian guitar soloist playing ..."
well that won't happen white ppl want to be known....lol
I am learning this piece and is very difficult. She is a máster.
She is well known, her name is Li Jie
4:08 - 5:16 my favorite part. Its been 10 years and I still enjoy this video. Thanks.
Who are the insecure 559 wannabes that down voted this. Li Jie at 13 and I still can't get her feel after 20 years. Incredible, masterful, go home cry babies.
She's make it look easy...
she is young,when she matures and with experience she will have soul,fantastic skills
mike jones fuck you
Красота! Одно из самых лучших исполнений, какое бывает. Николо бы заценил и похлопал.
She is trying to say "If you are not an asian, give up on your guitar"
I don't know why people would discredit her talent because of her ethnicity... Yea she's Asian and she has probably practiced loads but so do other musicians?
roses are red , violets are blue , and there is always an asian who is better than you
Lol so true
+Tomas Pap Because there are so many
+Allen K ya that's one of the reasons.
Chinese is Asian idiot
nah everyone in Asia is so racist they can't comprehend belonging to the same racial category
Thật tuyệt diêu. còn trẻ mà công lực cao siêu thâm hậu quá. !
She's Li Jie
PseudohumanoCL that's what they want us to think
Next guitar hero-
1: easy
2: normal
3: hard
4: extreme
5: asian
So
fucking
beautiful
I have always admired this performance since 2009 , I actually quited from playing to enjoy such master pieces as this sample. My most sincere congratulations for Li Jie
this is very good performence, guitar very hard than violin why they have to touch wire and violin is not...
sure...
I feel frustrated because i could never play like this , inferiority complex sucks ...
Well you can still aim for half as good or 90% as good... It's better than nothing... :p
+Ayman Achoua i can play this but not same speed, i tabbed it myself from watching the video
That's impressive
+Latin Lover dude you really tabbed all of this???
CAn I get the tab for this piece?
I can do that, hold my beer.
his fingers are so flexible, running back and forth on the fingerboard, and producing an outstanding sound....I hope that when I finally master this song on the guitar as well, it will be as good as this!
If she could only drive half this good!
+Allen K ='D lol
Con asiáticos es trampa
+Gunner Si eres guitarrista clasico y no puedes tocar eso eres la verguenza de la profesion,tampoco es tanto esta
+Capicholo B yo no toco ni el himno de la esperanza jajaja xD
jajajaja
+Gunner esperanza what
tipico latino mediocre
This is my shit!
Great❤
Wait a minute!!
2006??? Good lord!
When this video was uploaded,
I used to make mess on the bed🙄!!!

Even the fact that I wrongly said "he" instead of "she" should be evidence that judging by looks nearly always end up inaccurate...

who gives a fuck.
TeamFlamingStones pls tumblr go
paganini is difficult to perfome.....on violin.....on quitar even more
Guglielmo Vetere i tend to agree with you. i think it would be easier on guitar. but still extremely challenging on any instrument.
George Dounos In general it would be easier on the guitar, but not when performed like this I would think.
George Dounos hahah nobody who actually plays violin would say that... If you try to play this peace on a violin, you will laugh at your own comment m8.
Guglielmo Vetere Its a joke XD i mean this is amazing talent no denying that. But I play violin bass and classical/electric guitar and this makes me lol so hard.

guitarvideos777 Gr8 comment m8 I r8 it 8/8 ;) as Yoda once said: "Great butthurt I sense in you"
she has a diabolic magic in her fingers OMG! honestly i've never seen anything like this before in classic guitar. amazing! mind blowing!
The brilliance and artistry brought tears to my eyes
every now and then I keep coming back to this video ... this must be my 40th - 45th time watching this. thank you for keeping this video around! this is truly a treat for the ears and eyes.
that's why I love Classical guitar exhibition, brings out the creativity in you.... :)
W O W! You play so wonderfully that you can wake the dead up with your music. Your playing fills me up with so much peace and love. You are absolutely fabulous. Thank you for all the wonderful feelings and sensations you create with your instrument. Bravo. Bravo. I hope to be hearing more from you soon as I believe that also your whole audience does too. Bye for now.
I played classical guitar when i was young. Seeing this remember me how difficult it was and how wonderful she plays. Very very impressive !
i watch the video over and over and i cant believe what im seing, thanks for this picece
Li Jie is probably the best guitarist that plays this "thing", that is a very masterpiece, in the essence. All the deaf that missed the like button are also deathbrains... just look the flames that raise on her fingers, no words.
One of the best guitarist in the world hands down( and up around frets) in the world.
BEAUTIFUL. STUNNING. THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Unbelievable! This is world class playing.
I never tire of listening, her name is Li Jie and she has an angel soul!!
great instrumentalists live off people like paganini. that's why paganini is immortal and this lady is as mortal as all of us. technology will never replace creativity but it will certainly replace instrumental performance. great skill though. thanks for the upload.
One of the most soulfull versions of this piece i ever see on a classical guitar.

I watch this movie nearly one time a day, its wonderful how she play that.
BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍😍
she plays amazingly well, I just can't seem to stop listening to this part 4:10 - 5:14; it's so beautiful!
This is the MOST INCREDIBLE GUITAR PLAYING I have ever seen or heard in ALL of my 45 years! What technical prowess...and talent. Just unbelievable. Period .
END of Story.
I believe this is what Randy Rhoads could have ended up playing, if he had lived, he LOVED classical guitar.
I like this interpretion of this piece the most!
this is just outstanding. loveful to watch, to hear and to know that this level of skill is existing among us.. .-)
Quelle merveille, découragement un peu, car je commence juste à le travailler au violon...Dernier chemin de ma vie.
Wowwwww . What a rendition !!! I just saw the John Williams version ,that is great , but nothing is like this .Congratulations for this wonderfull lady .
Its simply brilliant!!!
That entire palm mute section is so amazing. I can palm mute but try doing it while finger picking, that's a whole new world of hard. Li Jie never ceases to amaze me. Seriously if not the best then very, very close to the best guitarist out there.
Beautifully played. very expressive.
Simply a grateful guitar player. She is very amazing. Congratulations from Colombia.
she sets a new standard for guitar playing
Man, this girl can play. Great control, time, and articulation.
I look forward to the day that she tours the US.
Браво !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellentissime bravo quelle interprétation
absolutely amazing
That's an immense post TheAlphaBaron gave us. The very important thing is no matter what you choose: be constant, be passionate. Forever.
Wonderful young talent!!!!!
she has everybody beat, just based on how young she is here,i read about her,she is the real thing..... amazing.
i dont understand how someone can be this good so young
Many people can play fast like her but she plays very clean which just makes stand out.
Amazing.... increible lo que toca esta piba, muy grosoooooooooooooooo
I wish I could experience more moments akin to listening to this. Such talent!
Very hard piece. When I first started playing it took me three months all day practicing to play it properly, even though I have over twenty five years experience with the guitar.
wow beautififul piece
well Tuned guitar with a brilliant player mmm
Outstanding performance !!!
Stunning!!!
Beautiful!
Totally amazing, inspired me to play more classical guitar... absolutely one of the best classical guitar pieces ive ever seen played.
Que hermosa. Excelente. mucho talento. felicidades me gusto mucho.
unbelievable talent, she's playing this piece when she was only teen, but some people like me, could not play this piece until old age. I admire her so much
I can't think of a harder piece... and she nailed it! Li Jie is amazing, not just a technical player.
+Patrick P Listen to the Grean Jota,taht real difficulty
Fantastico y tremendamente admirable!!!
Beautiful, bravo.
This is the one greatest performace on guitar I have ever seen- bar none.
Ohh My Godd.... it's amazing...
Thanks for posting! A stunning performance that would make even the venerable John Williams hold his breath for a while.
Is it strange that whenever I hear this song I wanna headbang?
The intro sounds pretty damn metal to me.
She is amazing,
this music is made for the angel of beauty
i dont understand how this person can have such incredibly perfect technique!!!
Simply beautiful
totally amazing.
the power of pure focus AMAZING makes me want to practice ..away I go !
No comments... It`s just awesome!!! Have nothing to say more...

Perfect played!
Complimenti! Bravissimo.
