Great player! Please could you make a perform of "Berimbao" or "Tico Tico" they are my favourite songs.

[442mario]

beautifully played.I only wish someday I could play it half as good.

[grison7]

Great guitar, i love nylon sound. Great guitar solo too. Viva Brasil!!!!!!!

Born and raised in Italy =) Allora tanti tanti complimenti dall'Italia!

Charming waltz!

It is executed with feeling and the warmth, going from heart.

Thanks you very much Samanta.

[bluesgurugod]

Beautiful!

Thank you!

[terpentoon]

You did great ! Many nice details show a deep musicality. You realy deserve acompliments for this.

[Galeanification]

Powell perfectly performed ... :-)

[tonylibb]

It s beautiful. The sound is perfect and brilliant interpretation. Congratularion. These into my favorite.

[HoundDogTail]

No complaints! I love the way you play it. I checked the internet for other versions, but yours my favourtie and the way I play it now.

[FrankRMusic]

Very good version, very nice!

Best wishes, Frank

[nonexponential]

Expressive, intense, beautiful! - Athan

[HoundDogTail]

Beautiful interpretation!! It inspired me to play the piec my self. Which version do you play? From the songbook from Baden 1976?

[whoiskcwhat]

Would youy play a piece of mine if I send you the sheetmusic? That would be great.

But you have to blow your hair at the end as well!

[TheJaloa]

hola hermosa , brillante e impecable ejecución, qué tipo de microfono empleas para lograr esa especie de sonido ovation ?, se escucha exquisito , saludos.

[hueseph]

My only complaint is the sound of the guitar plugged in. I hate the sound of peizo transducers, particularly on nylon strings. Other than that the performance is very nice. Virtually flawless and still with feeling.

[stickybun68]

@hueseph Thanks, glad you like it!! I didn't have a real classical guitar at the time, so... it was either Takamine preamped or nothing. :-)

[hueseph]

@stickybun68 Oh. Hey, as far as transducers go, this sounds pretty good. I know how expensive a good classical guitar can be. My brother bought a "mid level" Jim Redgate that was a mere $8000 ten years ago. They get ridiculously expensive for the better known makers. I had a Takamine which I sold to a friend who's girlfriend at the time promptly put her foot through it. Nice.

[GorkaMar1]

Preciosa interpretacion!!!!!!

[xXxGatekeeper666XxX]

Can you post the tabs of your version of this beautiful classical piece please????? :)

[stickybun68]

@xXxGatekeeper666XxX I don't use tabs, I'm sorry... But you should be able to find the music sheet online! THanks!

[HoundDogTail]

@xXxGatekeeper666XxX You can find the tabs on brazil on guitar. Just google. There are all Baden's songs on Tab. Though the arrangement you find there is not so nice as this one. But it'll do and you can pimp it yourself!

[0ri0ninh3ll]

Su canción y usted es hermoso. 

[apswirl]

Your music is beautiful and is only matched by your physical beauty. Enchanting.

[mariotito]

What a wonderful interpretation of such a complex piece I have been playing it for over 7 years never ceases to amaze me on how other people play it. Again wonderful and masterfully played. Ciao

[Audeladesapparences]

Merci pour cette très belle interprétation !

Thank You for this very lovely interpretation!

:-)

[renatovcortereal]

great sound also

[hueseph]

Very nice playing. I wish I had the time to become as accomplished as this. Maybe when the kids leave home finally.

[hueseph]

@guicortei My you are judgmental aren't you? There's an old saying, "put up or shut up". In other words, when you can do better, others will listen. Until then, your opinion holds no weight. 

[MrGuitarcat]

@guicortei Do you like movie ? Or pantomime ? Music is an scenic art. I think you must read the "paradoxe de l'acteur" of Diderot. If you want some computer play music and have no facial expression.

[stickybun68]

@guicortei I appreciate that, thanks!:-) I'm actually working on removing any facial expression wahtsoever. Doesn't add anything to the music.As I look to my past videos I'm, like, what was I thinking!?;-)

[MrGuitarcat]

@guicortei You like Marco Pereira ! Me too ! He make facial expression too ! And i prefer the smile of stickybun68...

[Matd8e2]

I love your smile

[MOSERAGER]

it sounds good !

thanx very much !

[MrPino58]

I love you,kiss

[natto2303]

very nice

[BOSSA1845]

cool!!



[MrStraubs]

This is a Brazilian song. You made​it into American music (too many slides). I prefer playing Baden Powell.

[rokkemasky]

I'm just following your posts since some months now and I had to say you're one of the best guitar player on earth. Your technique is impressive but what catch my attention everytime is the feeling coming out your soul and landing on the strings and frets. Please keep posting this masterpieces !

[carlajenkins1]

Someone said a "cute' woman??--pff!--You are gorgeous,...and I Love love love the way you play this Samantha!--another one of yours that just went into my YouTube faves! :)----so sensitive!

[Jazzguitman]

You are sooo good ! Touch,tone,phrasing.....so good.

[PiratepigEX]

[stickybun68]

@accuruneide Ti ringrazio... diciamo che in realta' gli studi classici seri li ho iniziati da poco...

Ciao!

[accuruneide]

@stickybun68 oggi, domenica, ore 8 del mattino: camera zeppa di note, sorpresa nel constatare che sei italiana nonstante quel Wells che suona molto UK... che altro dire: rimetto il pezzo e faccio una odccia prima di usicre. Ciao ciao... AndreA

Baden Powell... oh, what great memories come up about a concert of this genious on the strings I experienced in the 80th "live" ... the sound of your recoding is amazing... warm and of 3D quality. you played in midth my office :-) , very relaxing. Many thank's...

[stickybun68]

@IMCOnAir Thank you for listening! I'm glad you liked it and that it relaxed you! Ciao!

[bjornerlings]

i simply love the gentle touch of the melody, - you make it fly by blowing under the wings, - romantic, and the harmony flows above.

[MrPentatonicablues]

Great talent

you´re "AMAZING"

"OSSEQUI SIGNORA MAESTRA"

[lyonbarcelone]

Absolutely perfect! so romantic, so strong emotions...it's breaking my heart. Baden Powel was amazing guitarist and composer. Bravo Samantha for once more your performance was awesome. You are great guitarist. I hope one day I will listen you playing live.

[RikCastle]

una goduria dei sensi. non esagero

non è comune nel classico trarre stile personale;. chitarristi al servizio dei compositori, una sorta di schiavi a parte grandissimi: personalità davvero scarsa. Piacevoli comunque, rispettabilissimi strumentisti! te lo dico io che sono l'archetipo perfetto dello stilista, con difetti e pregi. ti si riconosce tra migliia! oltretutto solo per pregi. anche a non guardare il video: eccola, è lei! non che tu sia un'immagine da non osservare.

Complimenti

Riccardo

[stickybun68]

@RikCastle Uao... grazie mille Riccardo...

[mussie302]

Best instrument in the universe. One of the best players in the galaxy. It doesn't get any better than this. You managed to smile, too!

[stickybun68]

@mussie302 Thank you so much!! That's very flattering!

[dino5003]
