@spongey222 You are what we call an "Internet Douchebag".

@Kierinsky just stating a fact thanks homo. Never said it was a bad thing that he looks serious. It was just funny. It is, however, bad that his guitar is out of tune. Still a great tune

i love how the guitar can be percussive, melodic, and i think someone famous said it was like its own mini orchestra.

Btw, I agree that this piece had moments where it feels discordant, but that is on purpose.

Perhaps you would prefer the second movement, because it's much more beautiful and pleasant sounding.

you guys better get a job.....

[mdwierd]

They probably will. They did an amazing job, but the sound doesn't do the piece justice.

Yes the pieces are unconventional, but it takes a lot of talent to do what they did.

And in case you didn't know, this was recorded at the GFA Convention, which is one of the most prestigious guitar conventions in the world. I was at this concert, and it was amazing. In fact, we our guitar orchestra is planning on doing this piece when he comes to our school.

I'm doing being on my soapbox now.
