How a classical guitar piece became the most played music ever

First

Fun, interesting, thanks

I still use the 5190 / 3310 version on my Moto G stylus. When I receive a call, it turns heads for anyone who remembers. People expect me to play 'Snake', too...

Imagine if they had taken “the Lick” from Jazz.

I used to compose ringtones on my nokia 3310 when I was 13 years old, I programmed in Eminem's Trailer park girls. It's probably the first time in my life composing music on a computer

Fun Fact: The Nokia 2010 was the first phone to have the tune as a ringtone. It was also my first phone and I was 18 at the time. That was around Jan 1996.

What a trip down memory lane, had no idea it came from a classical piece!
Remember that the Nokia tune in the beginning was one of the many ringtones that also had a vibration pattern that follow the melody, which was especially useful when you put your phone on "vibrate".

I still use my Nokia for daily use.
When Nokia was whoared out to Microsoft I bought a few original Nokia phones for later. I never regretted this. It is a known fact that when a company is sold to Microsoft bad thing will happen to it and everything that made it great is altered and changed and corrupted.

I love Tarrega

Im blasting Adelita by Tarrega all night all day he's crazy underrated

my dear, i really appreciate your videos and your sensitivity. have you heard "symptom of life", willow's new song? pleeeease check it out, i know you will like it! love from brazil!

Nokia 5510 from 2001 could play mp3 and aac.

Interesting - I never knew this! Sounds right as a guitar peice though

the way you pronounce finnish names is killing me

glad i found your channel, your stuff is stimulating and relaxing to watch.

Great video, thanks for posting. The only Tarrega piece I learnt as a classical guitar student was Lagrima...

When I had one of the early smartphones - a Sony Ericsson P800, I got my band mate to play the original of Gran Vals on his acoustic guitar, which I then recorded and set as my ring tone. I felt very smug and funny.

The newer Nokia smart phones still have this as the default ringtone. I had one for a couple of years a few years ago.
