Classical Music on Electric Guitar

[Riffman15]

Hey all,

I've been playing classical guitar in conjunction with electric guitar for years. However, while I'm capable of good competence with fingers when studying classical seriously, I find that I'm more naturally inclined to play my electric.
Since I prefer classical to other forms due to its greater quality, I've been looking to duplicate classical guitar pieces artfully on the electric.

I am not trying to play "cheesy" neoclassical link Yngwie Malmsteen or something, but want to create authentic sounding renditions of classical guitar pieces, with at least some of the dynamics of the conventional players.

I've started a small YouTube series, highlighting my experiments with this.

Some examples:

Barrios, La Catedral (allegro solemne):

Bach Violin Partita in Bm:

Carcassi, Etude #7:

Ruiz Pipo, Danza (from Cancion y Danza):

I'd like to get your feedback on what you think of these performances.
And plz, no snobs

I know the original thread was a bit more specific, but its title fits a lot for a general discussion imo. Especially now that the links in the original post sadly don't work anymore.

And that's what I wanted to do, revive the general topic a bit. Does anyone else enjoy electric covers of classical pieces? Personally I love the sound of both genres, so such covers are just the best (when well done)!

Of course usually it's the most popular classics that get electrified. Here are some of my favorites.

From Marcin Jakubek on Youtube:

Spring - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HR-aWshus8
La Campanella - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW1agXqCw9c
Radetzky March - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsMjlzai1-U&list=PLZpwAM6rglt6MKbTexUulZ2gX9ABDhKAo&index=39

Vivaldi Metal Project, love that album! Especially - you guessed it - Spring, or rather Illusion of Eternity here. I really enjoy the song, and how the lyrics change from talking about new life to death:

I listened to quite some metal covers of the 24th caprice, since it fits the genre so much, this one is my fav, by Dr. Viossy:

And to end it, here's a playlist of different metal versions of classical pieces (btw this one reminded me that while I love the electric sound, I definitely don't dig the aesthetics of the usual metal album cover illustrations ):

Of course there are also classical electric medleys by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but I like their original works much more, to be honest. Enjoy, and I'd love to hear your favorites too, if you have any!
