@kusumosutowo Merci!!

[NGANSONHA]

beautiful!

[drdavid62]

And precious little time to practice - eh? You have my sympathies!

[drdavid62]

I think you need to tighten up those sutures a bit doc - keep working at it! Nice effort, thanks for sharing.

[maheranous]

@drdavid62 if you only knew how many sutures I tighten every day!!!!!!! It has ruined my fingers. But I will listen to your advise and do it a little bit more. Thank you for listening.

[Michajeru]

I think that you really get to the soul of this piece. The guitar sounds wonderful.

[maheranous]

@Michajeru Thank you. It is a beautiful piece I have to say but only if the legato is respected. I have to confess that my guitar helps a lot as it is very easy to play. Thanks for posting.

[JCTGuitarra]

Yes, is a beautiful guitar! Smallman of the best luthiers of the world or maybe the best.

[maheranous]

@JCTGuitarra Totally agree with you.

[JCTGuitarra]

Great Guitar!!!

[maheranous]

@JCTGuitarra Thanks. It is a 2008 Smallman & Sons.

[VargaGulsh]

hey I'm also in Kirkland! great playing!

[maheranous]

@VargaGulsh Excellent!! Do you play too?  We should get together for a session. Thank you for your kind comment.

[ezchaton]

@maheranous how hard is too play this song as a beginner? :)

[maheranous]

@ezchaton Actually, it is easy to play. Pay attention to tone (right finger positioning) and go very slowly at first with your left hand string transfers. You will find that there is an easy way of gliding between sections. Thanks for posting.

[truthslap]

a wonderful, very well controlled, fantastic performance. this is exactly how it should be played, I enjoyed this alot.

[maheranous]

@truthslap Thank you so much for your kind words. Much appreciated.

[cheme85]

Is he playing a smallman guitar?

[maheranous]

@cheme85 Yes indeed. You have the eye. Smallman made it for me on the recommendation of Judicael Perroy.

[oknarbtal]

nice surgery

[maheranous]

@oknarbtal Thank you.

[Dshadow98]

alright thanks i will do my best since this is my favorite piece to play

[Dshadow98]

this is the piece im actually tryin to learn first. Any tips u can give me for a beginner in the guitar?

[maheranous]

@Dshadow98 Go very slow and play the melody alone first. When you are comfortable with it, play the baseline which is repetitious. Work hard at "muscle memory" paying careful attention to finger positioning. As for the right hand, pay attention to the tone and to the angle of attack. I prefer free strokes (not rest strokes) for this piece. Good luck.
