Tarrega's Grand Vals as performed by Richard Durrant

[ricardohernandezosun]

why people think that playing faster is better?

[kirbycairo]

Nice version (fish fingers and all), obviously much faster that Tarrega intended, but still interesting. Is that your own fingering? It is radically different from how it is written or arranged for the classical guitar. I can't tell if it would be easier or more difficult than the traditional fingering. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the passion of your expression.

:/ no creo que asi sea como Tarrega quiso que la interpreten

[richarddurrant]

Yes it was a little fast. I may have had one too many fish fingers - or perhaps that was how the moment grabbed me. Probably the latter. The next day I may have played it a little too slow - but that would have been barometric pressure - or perhaps I was just preventing myself going out of my mind with boredom......

a little fast :-P

Every note is executed with authority and finesse. Every note is clear and with power! This man plays like only a hand few that you could count on one hand. Of course no one plays like Richard. I can't believe only 2,000 views. The only other guitarist that comes to mind who can play with such precision as Richard, but different to his style is Lawson Rollins, look him up here if you haven't see him play. Richard is one of the best for sure!

I’m sitting here having my blood pumped through a big machine to get all crap out, I just played this on my laptop and the nurse told me to switch of my phone. You played Grand Vals expertly and with feeling, I loved it. From the old geezer
