Maestro Cruz this is beautiful! I hope that some day I may be your student. I would be honored to know what you know and be instructed in the world of classical guitar.
I just picked up Phish's new album called Joy tonight and just listened to their song "Joy" (which was very good) and now my friend sent me this most pleasing video Ode to Joy.. a great synchonistic ode indeed! Yes to Joy
beethoven would be mad... but i would be smiling... i love beethoven... and i love you too... without his work... i would never see your amazing work as well... : )
randombackwash has spoken!! Actually, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and others were musicians who saw music as expressed emotions. Everyone's emotions are different which is why artists of any genre are encouraged to do so. I hate elitists.
very good! took me some time to find it but it was worth it. lengthy and intricate what more could you ask for. arrangement and performance are among the best in the world!
Viva Del Marco!! the world will never know just how great Mark is . He has been my favorite guitarist for 20 years.He can rip thru jazz,rock or classical and be artistic and original while doing it. I always say if God played guitar He would sound like Marc Cruz !!
Excellent.
