Luca Stricagnoli Plays Vivaldi on Acoustic Guitar: “Winter” (The Four Seasons)
“The Four Seasons” by A. Vivaldi is a masterpiece. My favorite part is “The Winter”, or “L’ Inverno” in the Italian original title. The first time I heard “Winter” as a guitar version was in 2019 during “International Guitar Night”. In that tour, my two friends Antoine Boyer and Samuelito, played an incredible arrangement for 2 guitars, and until this day that’s still my favorite guitar duo.
Recently, I found the brilliant version of Emre Sabuncuoglu, which not only is amazing, but was also very useful for me to learn the notes by ear from his guitar, rather than an orchestra. Thank you to all these artists for the great inspiration. My arrangement ended up having several differences, including a completely different tuning, the usage of percussion, the usage of tremolo in one of the latter parts, plus several Fingerstyle techniques used here and there. Overall, I believe that I managed to take inspiration, but at the same time adding enough of my own ideas to the pot. The video has been masterfully shot by my super wife Meg, as per usual at around 3 AM to avoid having people in the scenes.I am using a X4 carbon fiber guitar made by the brand ENYA MUSIC enya-music.com . I am also using a WX-501 wireless system by SWIFF AUDIO, as well as their tuner. swiffmusic.com .
