[mchrose]

how about a tears flowing down to the face of a woman..? :(

[Mr5stevenr]

@mchrose Hi. Thanks for the nice comments!! That is a good point. Maybe the Spanish word can mean tears of a woman as well as a child. I don't know. Happy New Year. Steve.

[ALIASGUITARGLADYS]

Great version and interpretation. The sound is perfect.

[Mr5stevenr]

@GlennValt Hi Glenn. Thanks. Yes, this is one of my better uploads. But I could never have posted if Tarrega hadn't written the exquisite notes. He has some lovely music. Steve.

Nicely played Steve. So many of us share the joy and beauty in emotion of this music. You play it very calmly and peacefully, a Joy.

[Mr5stevenr]

@unfailingpromise  Thanks Jake. Welcome to my channel. Your profile shows an enquiring mind which invites new sensations, and you can put that to good use in your music. May your guitar always sing sweetly. Steve.

Artur

[Mr5stevenr]

Mi amigo Artur. Gracias por amable comentario. Buenos dias. Steve.

[richardstadlerguitar]

very clean, and gentle approach, I think your way of playing is unique- It would be great to hear you through a microphone that could capture your full artistry:)

[Mr5stevenr]

Thanks for your comments, Richard. The microphone i use here is a new one i bought last year. It was not a very expensive one, so i'm sure a better quality one would improve the sound. I don't modify my uploads. But this is heaps better than my earlier webcam uploads. Cheers, Steve.

[VLombardi01]

that was nice! There's some emotion in it.

[Mr5stevenr]

Thanks Vince. Jeez, you have some good stuff on your channel. You're Multi-talented. Steve.

[chsgdss]

Beautiful Steven.

Kisses,

Raíssa.

[Mr5stevenr]

@chsgdss Thanks Raissa. Welcome to my channel. Regards, Steve.

[SabMei1]

This 1001 st Lagrima is a very beautiful version. Youtube would be poor if you wouldn´t have posted it.

All the stars from Germany

Sabine

[Mr5stevenr]

@SabMei1 thanks sabine. i don't have the feeling for melodies that you have, but i do my best. steve.

[CNlyrical]

Steve, i enjoyed listening to you.

Thank you for translating "Lagrima"

and explaining the meaning of this piece of music,

i like it even more now!

Crystal

[Mr5stevenr]

thanks for your kind comments, crystal. i've had a look at your channel, and you have some lovely music there. steve.

[Gangly1]

Beautiful Steve.

No sliding, which is the important thing with this piece, I feel. Great accurate playing.

Cheers,

Paul

[Mr5stevenr]

thanks paul. i try to only slide my fingers only on the unwound strings, but it doesn't always work out that way. you're from england i think, well there is a great upcoming english tennis player here playing at the moment in the Hopman cup, laura robson. she's the youngest finalist ever in this tournament,at 15, and she's blitzing them. between her and murray it looks like the cup will go to england this year. good stuff. steve.

[KlodeB92]

Bravo for this very convincing version .! 5 well deserved stars .Claude

[Mr5stevenr]

thanks claude. and thanks for your pm. i've been doing your alternate version of the carcassi study. it's very good. steve.

[Mr5stevenr]

thanks jean. i just wish i could sing like you, and use my guitar as an accompanying instrument sometimes. steve.

[Mr5stevenr]

you are really making progress with your music, josie. maybe your lagrima is not as far off as you think. steve.

[Mr5stevenr]
