David Fingerstyle Show
DAVID FINGERSTYLE SHOW
What is a fingertsyle show? / O čem to je?
[ENG] An instrumental guitar show for original & outstanding parties, weddings and celebrations!
David performs famous worldwide music alongside his own compositions using a technique called Fingerstyle, allowing him to simultaneously play melodies, harmonies, and bass lines—much like a pianist. His technique also incorporates percussive elements, using the guitar body as a drum to create rhythm through tapping or slapping various parts of the instrument.
This transforms his guitar into a versatile, multi-functional instrument, delivering a dynamic one-man-band performance.
His repertoire includes many styles like pop, jazz, bossa nova, swing, rockabilly, blues, tango, bolero and flamenco. He has been playing his show in many European countries and performed in a UK comedy - The Man Can - in 2016.
[CZ] Instrumentální kytarová show pro originální a vynikající večírky, svatby, obřad a oslavy!
David hraje slavné světové skladby spolu se svými vlastními kompozicemi pomocí techniky zvané Fingerstyle, která mu umožňuje současně hrát melodie, harmonie a basové linky – podobně jako pianista. Jeho technika také zahrnuje perkusní prvky, při kterých využívá tělo kytary jako buben, čímž vytváří rytmus pomocí poklepávání nebo úderů na různé části nástroje.
Tím proměňuje svou kytaru v univerzální, multifunkční nástroj a vytváří dynamickou one-man show.
Jeho repertoár zahrnuje mnoho stylů jako pop, jazz, bossa nova, swing, rockabilly, blues, tango, bolero a flamenco. Svou show předvedl v mnoha evropských zemích a v roce 2016 vystoupil v britské komedii 'The Man Can.'
