omg!!!!You're really talented!!!I have never seen such a great guitar player at your age!!!!You're great,amazing!!!Gongratulations and thank you!!!!!!
I recognise the sentiment about late starters not being able to compete - but only by playing and practicing can you achieve. This is inspirational and not disheartening.
Music is not simply a technical exercise. What I envy here is the musicality and the strong foundations. I bet reading and learning a new piece are a lot easier for Gabriel than me! Ha!!
I don't know how he plays now, but to play maria with 12 years that way is not such an incredible thing and he has some mistakes, he even has a little wrong right-hand-position, he sounds a little artificial to me but anyways he is good. 'd like to know how he plays now, what he plays...
don't missunderstand me. I am not saying that I am better. I am even saying the other thing xD I admit I shouldn't have post that, but anyways I said "he is good". I didn't say "I am better". The thing is I also want to be that good and I am jealous. But sure, wenn I record myself playing that, I'll send you a comment and we discuss de matter. xD yeah, I am a little stupid and altiv woman!
I don't think I implied you're "bitter". Believe me, I understand the value of words. Nor do I think you are stupid. No who loves music like this is stupid.
It's clear that the boy works hard at his music. He is trying to please his family and friends. He wants his teachers approval. The sparkle in his eyes is satifaction at getting through the piece.
I thought there was great musicality in the playing. Nothing is ever perfect.
Don't be jealous. You're fine. Just keep working at it!
i guess. i mean, yeah he's young and all but it was still a pretty boring interpretation of a song that is typically much more exciting with a more passionate and rythmic feel. but good job.
PLEASE!!! "What's that written below me??? "Your right hand position is wrong"? The kid plays brilliantly!
Maybe his "wrong hand position" is what makes his music shine. Who knows? Whatever he's doing, it sounds great. That's all that matters in music, anyhow.
wow, are you kidding me; his position shifts in order change the color of the sound-after watching your video; i see you don't have any clue as to how to do that.
excellent, je parle l'anglais et je prends la classe du francais en lycee dans l'Amerique. vous etes tout a fait (desole au sujet des accents, je ne sais pas comment faire les accents sur un clavier americain) le guitariste, en particulier pour quelqu'un qui a 12 ans. c'est tout que j'ai dire, j'espere jouer la guitare comme vous à l'avenir parce que j'ai 14 ans et je joue toujours la guitare.
excellent Gabriel! bravo pour la recherche sensible de l'émotion musicale qui cache la technique, c'est cela le vrai talent, laisser l'impression que c'est facile...continuez SVP
what s amazing is that not only you master the piece, but it s also very musical. I showed the video to my kid for his inspiration, and he loved it. Merci beaucoup.
Bravo Gabriel!!! J'aime ton sourire malicieux quand tu dis avoir 12 ans. Toi au moins, tu as l'air de t'amuser quand tu joues, et tu n'as pas oublié que jouer, c'est aussi essayer de transmettre ce que tu ressens et, si possible, ce que pensait l'auteur.
Continue, car tu es doué, mais ça, ce n'est pas une découverte de l'entendre dire, n'est-ce pas? Mais continue, parce que tu aimes ça!!! Et puis tu donnes de la joie et du plaisir à vivre, et ça, c'est beau!!!
Oh? Please check out the version posted by guiliotampalini.Which is not to say the kid is not ten times better than most of us who have been playing 30 years and more.
exellent!!! can't wait till i'm as good as you-- only been playing 2 1/2 years but teacher says i play very good in a short space of time. you are a mega player
very very nice
