In 2001, I studied with Maestro Dyens at his master class in Burgundy France. That was my brag. He arranged the magic flute for 21 guitars, and we all got to perform a piece individually. He was absolutely magical. It makes me so happy that you are now introducing a true embodiment of a playing player. As in, his arrangements are fun and unique. I will never forget he emphasized having fun and being free. He would of loved your work. I know this because when you play with love, you celebrate existence at its core. You're wonderful and the rest of us who also play are wonderful. We are most fortunate to share this experience at any capacity. Much love good sir.

Finally my favorite guitarist is back, I am very happy with your improvisations and guitar playing. Continue and always success and content 🙂

Roland Dyens is my favorite guitarist, I've never seen anyone else do what he has done on a classical guitar. I feel like he was the only true master of the instrument as a whole. But what blows me away ever time I listen to him is how much control he has on each voice in a piece. No matter how complexe the harmonisation, he would always make it intelligible. Every single note is played with the right intent, the right volumn, the right attack. Anyway, thank you for this tribute.

Fuckin finally I saw him once live. And my life waa never the same. From full fledged metalhead that played almost exclusively metallica riffs, to classical guitarist in the space of an hour. Mr Dyens opened my ears to a whole new world. Had the privilege of shaking his hand and exchangin a few workds after the concert...what a gentleman Thanks for the video. Cheers to all

What a superb tribute to Roland, especially your own brilliant arrangement at the end. Cheers.

Wonderful story, and wonderful tribute to Roland Dyens. It's a privilege to hear you play. Thank you.

Hey, Lucas... this is going to be a long comment. First, glad to see a new video from you. Second, so nice to find out that we share a profound admiration for Roland Dyens. I can hardly play several chords on guitar, but I love this instrument. And I had the occasion to see Roland Dyens once live, in Bucharest. I've been completely mesmerized. His Libra Sonatina is a masterpiece! I'd love to be able to play some of his more sophisticated songs.... and the news of him passing away in 2016 really made me very very sad. It was a cruelly untimely death. I can only hope that his legacy, his eclectic approach to guitar will endure. Third, it's a nice old guitar the one that you play in this video. And very funny way of inserting the microphone in the inside :) Those small holes on the front of the guitar - do they serve a purpose, or are they just part of the patina of the instrument? Keep up the good work. I'm waiting for Tango En Skay, but it's jazz. You know, 2-5-1, cause the walking bass is already there, right? :) :) :) I'm sue Roland Dyens would appreciate such a rendition!

Lucas, this video is a treat! I love your interpretation of tango in Skai and your arrangement of Nuages is fantastic. Bravo from a French lady.

I remember going to a special week for students who wanted to take extra lessons from a well respected teacher from the University level and one of the students played this piece. I became obsessed with Roland Dyens too. I'd love to see more of his repertoire played by you. Greetings from Spain.

Wow. I love Nuages and your version is stunning.

Rolland would be proud of what you're doing! He always found new ways to play and new sounds and effects on the guitar. He once commented that in his arrangements of songs like "La Vie en Rose" he even tried to capture the breathing of the singer! Your arrangements and performances remind me very much of Roland!

As a french guitarist, Roland Dyens is truly one my favorite composers and has been so important in my learning of guitar. I've praticed and played some of his pieces for so long. I even had to learn Songe Capricorne for my final exam and loved it.

Where have you been?!! Not many guitarists in this world could pay as wonderful a tribute to the great Roland as you Lucas. Bravo! :o) xx

I recently found Roland Dyens and have become obsessed with his music. Its awesome to hear my favorite KZfaq guitarist talk about my favorite guitarist

Oh Lucas, you’re so good… At around nine minutes you play so well with the melody / harmony. Such a pleasure to listen you. Merry Christmas!

Dyens is one of the greats who sadly passed too soon. Very creative and original. Amazing arrangements (which are NOT easy to play). I'm fortunate to have seen him live in concert twice.

wow !!!! Absolument génial cet arrangement de Nuages... magnifique

I had a few important guitar teachers in my life and Roland was my favourite as a composer. He taught me some composition too. He was awesome, and in private always ready to play and improvise in many styles. He loved jazz, he loved all Brazilian music… mentioned Egberto Gismonti as a huge influence and adored Bach. He was very fond of Sor too, and played Giuliani like a dream. His talent was limitless and he worked all the time. I miss him a lot as a friend and inspiration, he really left too soon. Your video is great and Roland would enjoy hearing you play his music. Thank you.

Tango on Skai was incredible. Your fingers sure can fly!

Wow, that arrangement of Nuages is amazing! 👏

Finalmente voltas-te!!!! Saudades que já tinha tuas 😍😍 Abraços de Portugal!

This is just amazing, entertaining and touching music. I can see why you fell in love with him. RIP Roland Dyens and thank you for bringing him to my life🙏

My teacher Alexandre Bernoud was a friend of Roland Dyens, he taught us his compositions and arrangements, great pieces of music ;) happy to see you back in the game :D

Was so pleased to see you’d posted a new video. You’ve been missed maestro. Simply love your playing and videos whether serious or playful. I hope you’ll be back posting more regularly. You’re playing is a real inspiration to wannabe guitarist like me. Thanks!👍🙏🏻

Dyens… his music and arrangements are perhaps the most intricate to play not only because of the high technical level required, it also demands a high level of musicianship. He indeed made use of all the expressive possibilities of the guitar. Nice video.

What a great interpretation! Congrats bro! Greetings from Brazil!

Great to see you back. Extraordinary musicality and chops. Thank you

Just spectacular, thanks Lucas. A beautiful tribute, and your own playing is superb (as usual!)

My favorite guitarist !! Still wondering if your guitar will have a second hole one day..

Thanks Lucas for another inimitable installment of your wonderful tributes, superb playing, and dry humor.😎👍

Great to see you back. Really enjoy this kind of videos of yours, going deep into the topic :)

holy shit. That arrangement of nuages is superb. Genius. Great tribute! Mixed best of diverse worlds.

Thanks for bringing Roland to more people, what a great Christmas gift !!

Saw Roland in Cordoba during a Flamenco festival. I had attended a master class along with 50 others (way above my head) at the City College in San Luis Obisbo. I'm sorry to hear of his passing

I've missed your playing and fine arrangements.

Absolutely beautiful version of Nuages Lucas❤️

Thank you, Lucas! I had not heard of Roland Dyens prior to this. I'm in for a treat as I explore his music. What a holiday gift! All the best to you and yours for 2024 😊

Excellent!....your appreciation of guitarists from different genres and your own superb talent are always a pleasure to see & hear.

Amazing Lucas, such a wonderful and touching tribute. I thoroughly enjoyed your performances here! My first exposure to Roland Dyens, was through my brother who learned that piece and performed Tango en Skai in a concert in my hometown. That was the first time I heard it and I was like what on earth was that!!! Since that time I've listened to many of his wonderful compositions, and what a unique musician Roland Dyens was. Truly a gift that keeps giving to the world, even though he's not physically with us anymore, and I definitely can hear his spirit in your playing Lucas, congratulations you're carrying on his legacy. :)

Wonderful story telling and marvellous virtuoso performance. Fantastic piece.

Fantastic. Lovely to see you back. That last one was incredible.

This is a beautiful homage to your hero. That's special. This is the first video of yours i found and i'm glad i did. Thanks for sharing your gift, passion and knowledge with the world

Loved the nuages arrangement, the brilliant bass+harmonics part made my day, thanks! ❤

Wow Lucas, this was great!!! I loooved your arrangement of Nuages, wonderfully expressive in a way that is different from Django but so close to his spirit of play. And your rendition of the first piece was so varied in tone and phrase, magical! In French, saudade is pronunced « so - dad ». Very simple. Thabk you for sharing all this art with us. ❤

Roland Dyens is my favorite guitar composer and transcribing! I owe him a huge deal of what drove me to make classical guitar one of my main goals and one of my main sources of entertainment and therapy! Thanks for making a video on him!

Good to have you back Lucas !!!We love you!

A pleasure having you back with new videos. I have missed you!

Delighted you're back, been a while! Happy holidays, Lucas and co!

I gotta say, i totally enjoyed the ad break!

welcome back! as usual, great respect for the masters, and great performance by yourself

Miss you uploads, top tier quality. Amazing as always

The legend is backkk! What a wonderful early Christmas present

Carinhoso is one of my favourite Dyens' arrangements. He loved Brazilian music.

Glad you’re back. Missed you brother. Happy holidays.

Great stuff. So many techniques in one piece and you played both of them amazingly well. Love this style/sound.

Yeeees! Happy to see you here again. What a music!😊

With Antoine Boyer and Yamandu Costa your are one of my favorite guitar player, Lucas! I also love this master Roland Dyens and his works for the guitar. Have a nice Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks a lot for your shared videos and your music.

Glad you're back and cheers from Brazil.

Brilliant playing bravo!! When I was in my teens I was given a guitar like yours that had the sweetest tone, and I learned to play these lovely arpeggios quite smoothly as you do. I gave the guitar away, one of those impetuous things that you do, and forgot how to play those arpeggios. It must be lovely to be able to play them so well.

Wonderful to see you back!

You are such a wonderful musician and human being.

Man, what a guitar player you are. 👏👏👏👏👏

a beautiful tribute Lucas! Love your playing of Tango in Skia and Nuages incredible!!

Great interpretation on this 2pieces.Happy new year Lucas...👏👏

I love all your videos, your funny ones really crack me up, you have a great sense of humour with timing as impeccable as your beautiful playing and your serious ones are works of a real master.

Great to have you back. My jaw dropped on your take of Django’s tune. Thanks for talking about mr Dyens, I feel he deserves to be much more reknowned. PS: Great format, alternating between clips, a good narrative and exquisite music !

It's so great to hear from you again

Always a delight! God bless you Lucas and Merry Christmas.

Thank you so much for pointing out great guitarists..while you yourself are entering or are allready playing in the same room! I love your dynamics giving depth and colour to the music...bravo!!

That‘s just … the best of this years x-mas presents for me. Thx Lucas

It's great to see a new video from you!

So good to have you back!

Welcome back. Dyens is a Giant. Thank you... I played Tango en Skai whilst my Brother and his Partner danced a Tango, I'll never forget her whirling dress and the way she choreographed her movement... All part of celebration for my Mother's second wedding. Thanks to Roland obviously.

Thank you for this wonderful fiery tango. I - a professional cellist - deeply feel this music. This is a classic. This makes the heart start to dance in the chest. And knees and legs - they themselves lead you to the dance floor. I didn't learn to dance - but I love it (although maybe it looks like a clown's dance 🤣)...

Beautiful, I have listened to that piece for years and never realized Roland was the composer! Great video!❤

What a wonderful version of Nuages. Thank you for the dedication!

Wonderful tribute! Thanks man, really appreciated. Loved your arrangement of Nuages and your interpretation of Tango en Skai!!

Glad to see your Channel again. Welcome back 👍🎶🙏

Man, I could not tear myself away from the last piece! Incredible... no, incredibly beautifully mesmerizing!!

Roland Dyens would be very very proud of you Lucas!! You're incredibly talented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏

Amazing as always! Lucas has a sublime musical taste and the most cared and precision technique. I give thanks listen to him!

I’m glad you are back!

Great to see you're back

Amazing take on Nuages! This video reminded me listening and practising libra sonatine almost 15 years ago with a huge love respect for him.

This whole video was fantastic. Thank you!

Wow, incredible! I'm so happy to see so many subscribers 😊

Glad to see you back Lucas Brar .... man you are an exceptional musician ... mind blowingly good! Made my day... Merry Xmas

i cant wait to explore music as much as you have to be able to play a bass line, multiple harmonic techniques and a melody and put crazy techniques like those into my own arragements

One of my favorist guitarists. Thank you for posting this.

Merci pour cet hommage au grand Roland Dyens ❤

This one of the most impressive and inspiring guitarists ai have ever heard. And so humble. Wow! Thank you!

So glad you’re back, Lucas! We’ve missed you!

Bravo Lucas 🙌 Amaizing arrangement, tech and feel , virtuoso playing ..

I really enjoyed your amazing arrangement of Django's Nuages at the end of your video! I met Roland at the guitar festival of Nordhorn and his aproch to composing and playing the guitar is truly unique!
