[ivanlennon00]

@DannyShreds87 yes i know! really difficult

[gdsimmons79]

[Z3r0mt]

So inspirational- Thank you

[Maximusstriker]

this guys right hand doesnt move

[Rocka901]

Holy balls he can play I'm still having a hard time with the slurs

[classicalmannick101]

great rendition, just as good as yorks own one.... humphrey guitar?

[bringonthegoons]

Sweet. Nice modern example that modern technique doesn't need to mean dynamic death. 

[eelz212]

you played the shit out this.

[delameu]

great sound quality

[paulandlesson]

Outstanding! People who are learning the classical guitar, would be wise to take a look at this. Althougf it may be far off in your playing, take a look at his right arm wrist as opposed to Segovia. I would love to know this player's mentors. I am heading to his site now. This gentleman also knows how to practice, what a player. I will be playing this in a couple of days, after not playing it in years and ran across this. Beautiful!

[savemyplaylist]

Man I love that chord progression at 1:25

[jakevanfan]

I saw him in concert last Saturday and he was great.

[super6plx]

this is something that'll be yours forever, you can show this to everyone you meet and say "this is me, I am epic" lol xD

great job, I always look for this video when I search for this song

[quetz70]

agreed. very clean and incredible technique

[Wtcguitar88]

Is this in DADGAD ? anyone got a link or something to the music in York's transcription ?

[veitchguitar]

IT'S DADGBD just both E strings dropped a tone

[cuerpoeperra]

D A D G B D Still needs the trans??? I got one.

[Gorack1313]

Hey great job. My only nib about this performance is that at around 1:38 you really picked up the tempo of the song and really destroyed the cleaniness of your playing and it sounded a bit to sloppy in some areas of it but for the most part you played most of that section clean. I would suggest picking up the tempo just a bit prior to this section for a more smoother transition into the tempo change becuase it was quite drastic or just slow it down a tad but this is just my 2 cents great playing

[super6plx]

it's meant to go that fast

in reality the tempo is exactly the same, he's just playing a lot more notes (sorry for stating the obvious :P)

and if you meant that, and are just trying to say he actually did speed up a bit, I don't think I heard it, but I didn't listen too closely ;P

[maruo85]

his arm very very long!

[veitchguitar]

Excellent. I love the clarity of your playing

[jemjoesatch]

acoustic/classical guitar sounds so amazing GOD BLESS THE GUITAR!!!!!!

[pfmhh]

素晴らしい！

[addaiaguitar]

Amazing performance of a great piece - one of the best on youtube! Did someone say it was too fast? More videos please. Kristian

[Frahiam]

Just Amazing! you're really good, keep it up!

Absoulutely the best and clearest version on Youtube

Congratulations!

[migguns]

algo rapido, pero de las mejores diigitaciones que he visto, bastante bueno

[o0Sulo0o]

where can i get tabs or music sheet D:

[jakefakerakecake]

Beautiful. Just looked him up on google image though, really wanted him too be old and wisened. The guy looks like he should be in Whitesnake!

[jemjoesatch]

LOOOOOLLLLLL yeah and i bet he could shred like hell on an Ibanez

[gator8373]

a bit too fast imo but definitely very good.

[HenrySpock]

Fantastic Job! Short of York and Li Jie, I think you have the best video of this piece on here. And I've seen a few now (too damn many.) :)

[buckethead111]

he resembels provovativity and lacks sustain.

[brucegalliver]

Without doubt the best and most precise version on youtube.

Amazing

[elduendevicente84]

Wow,nice work.One of the best version..remember me Williams's version. Maybe harmonics not very clear...

Thx

[eloggyloko]

hay momento en k pierde el feeling pero el resto esta perfecto

[AtterseeSommer]

You look young. How many competitions have you entered? Probably won a few. At any rate, you are magificent. Who were your teachers? At the colleges I teach, we have two competitions coming up, in March and Summer. Let me know if you'd like information on them.

[KINARF]

beautiful

[snarfergarfer]

WOW, didn't think any performance of this piece could impress me more than the Li Jie version...you set the bar a bit higher on this one, excellent execution!

[RoofFiddler]

Anyone who nitpicks the technique or performance in this video is simply pursuing pedantry.

Easily, by a fairly wide margin, the best rendition of this song on youtube.

[procyoncmi]

Please, don't flame me!

This is one of my favorite renditions of Sunburst and I also really like the chosen guitar for this piece. Amazing tone. Anyway, in some spots I can hear 'mechanical struggle'. I can hear why the piece is difficult. He seems to speed up and play with anxiety in difficult spots. Also, the part at 1:44 could have a louder melody over the hammerons in the bass.

2nd best to Andrew York's performance, which is absolutely enthralling.

[Idyllwoodduo]

Fine Work!

How did you make out at the Music Teachers competition this year?

[ImperialK2]

That was probably one of the cleanest and best executed versions of that piece I have heard in my life. Cheers to you, sir.

[LeaningBear]

One of the top guitar videos on Youtube.

[nonemlinus]

Awesome! 

Hey, have you checked out York's "Marley's Ghost"? I'd love to hear you play that. It looks like a difficult piece (to me anyway).

[kthen]

very nice performance. love the tone too :)

[cbradac]

beautiful playing! 5 Stars!

[jaekanglee]

Solid performance. Speed and intonation of power spot on. Nice job.
