  • Well performed! I'm learning number 23 at the mo. I really like Garcia's etudes. :)

  • @Cretin321 Thanks Cretin321! I also like Garcia's Etudes. Good luck with 23. I'm playing around with #11 as I find time!

  • amazing... dynamic and stuning ( :

  • @lubomirn

    Thanks for your comments! This is a great study, as are all 25 of the Etudes Esquisses!

  • Greetings and thank you for recording ! Im playing that right now and its an amazing piece i like to slide the octaves at the end and i like a warmer sound all along but deam you're good ! ! ! Amazing again ! ! !

  • Man this is great

  • this is awesome

  • I think he's based in Oxford, England and has his own website. (Gerald Garcia).

  • Excellent work, strong playing, and very clear musically.

  • Thanks adeadgbe!

    I really had to push my guitar for this recording. The guitar is by Hippner, in the style of Torres, spruce top, maple back and sides. It's an intimate instrument with a rather soft voice, but it's my favorite guitar.

    I appreciate the time you have taken to comment on the video. Thank you!

  • Damn good, man. This is one of my favourite Garcia etudes to play. I wanted to check it out on youtube to see if I could improve on any sections. I think I'll modify my ending to be less straight-foreward. Thanks for the vid.

  • KingZerxst, I am honored to know that my recording served as a reference for you.

    Thanks for taking the time to comment, and thank you for the compliment.

  • I forgot to ask you , what is the guitar you are playing? Sounds pretty good!

  • Hey Guy!

    The guitar is a Darren Hippner 2003, modeled after Torres. I pushed it for this particular piece, but it's my personal favorite. Spruce top, maple back and sides. Thanks for asking!

  • Famous video and very nice recording!!!

    If I have a second life,I'll play guitar like you do!!

    Thanks for sharing Maestro.

    (thanks a lot for the comment you posted on my sample a few days ago -on classical corner-)

  • Guy,

    Thank you, but I think you're too kind! I've enjoyed a few of your recordings at your website (Marakech, Sad Life, Sunny Day) and I can only hope to be reincarnated NOT as a player, but rather as a musician, such as yourself.

    But I am very grateful for your kind comments on my playing. Thanks again.

  • Nice job!  Gerry's music deserves to be better known.

  • Hi Paul,

    Thank you for listening and for the comment.

    Believe me, I'm trying to get these Garcia Etudes better known with a little help from YouTube! Hard to believe they were written in the early 90's ('91 or '92 I think) but aren't more popular. They do seem to be catching on though.

    Take care and thanks again for checking in.

  • Hey sis! Thank you! Hope all is well in NYC.

  • Hey brother. Very nice guit-box work!

  • Wow

    that was really nice, and I have no idea what it is spose to sound like, but it was pleasing!

  • Thanks Willy! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Nice to have some non-classical-guitar players enjoying the music! I'm happy you stopped by.

  • Great job! I've put up a video of #6 but my virtuosity doesn't match yours. Excellent tone and clarity. I think that I'll try it and see if I can't get close to your skill.

  • rvltch,

    I'm familiar with your recording of #6, and I hope you'll be recording some more for us!

    Thank you for your kind comment. I love this study and many others in the set, and the composer, Gerald Garcia, no doubt deserves more credit than I for this.
