@anthonela1

thanks

[detseroneLAG]

You're awesome. I'm a beginner and I really enjoy watching your videos...they motivate me.

[VOLKEMA]

Absolutely beautiful, great dynamics and as always thoughtful and well executed playing... what a treat! thanks for posting.

[fookthefrench]

Beautiful! I've enjoyed watching your hair evolve over the years.

[troubleclef]

@fookthefrench

or "devolve" as the case may be. :D

[bl4st3r]

This is excellent!

[Marcioon9]

Congratulations, I love to hear it. It's good to see someone make music with zeal, with quality. Thank you.

[troubleclef]

@Marcioon9

thanks!

[chamacojesus]

Gorgeous! I'd never dare arrange a classical piece... Fantastic sound, btw! Next time you need a duet don't work twice, just call me ! ;D

[troubleclef]

@chamacojesus

thanks, Jesus. not an arrangement here, just straight transcription. but i think you would do just fine either arranging or transcribing in any genre. cheers. thanks for watching

[Jamie2Rock]

A master at work once again. I just wonder why Mr. Clef didn't show the meldoy played in a second window. Perhaps he wasn't decently dressed? The fans can only wonder...

[zinger52]

So good to hear you again, wonderful and inspiring but too technical, that is for me 

[Conzerned]

Bravo! absolute Bravo!, Every time I think your done impressing me, It happens all over again.

[troubleclef]

@Conzerned

thanks a lot

[jonathanratcliffe]

Tony have you ever thought of covering a John Martyn song? I think you would do a beautiful job one. And this is sublime!

[troubleclef]

@jonathanratcliffe

i've never listened to John Martyn. strange because i do like a lot of acoustic british guitarists of the same era. but he's still one i haven't delved into.

[hyperboreal]

Gorgeous. Very nice to hear you doing duets, I get dizzy just by thinking what you could achieve using this formula. Great choice of music once again Tony.

[troubleclef]

@hyperboreal

Thanks, Alex. Not sure i'll do too many of them. there's a guy who has a solo guitar version on YT in Eminor which is worth checking out and which i considered learning but i felt like keeping it in the common Dm transcription and not sacrificing too many chords.

[van1976]

A "Romantic" number...I like...err Love..

5*

--Van

P.S. Brrrr it cold around "our" parts (neighbor), 2 degrees last night....your guitar playing gives me a little warmth...and worth a couple listens too....

[troubleclef]

@van1976

thanks, buddy. finally seeing some snow. nothing like last winter.

[mendozamoneta]

Simply beautiful... thanks for sharing.

[charly1344]

[ckn711]

[sangolt88]

[NoDeity]

[ddanze]

[troubleclef]

@ddanze

[Buxcorp]

Beautiful..

[baffinismo]

Bravo!!

[butchermachine]

Brilliant!

[LittleMickyFingers]

Masterful! Lovely tone and technique.

[troubleclef]

@LittleMickyFingers

thanks again, Micky

[farleyfsantana]

is this your version or you play with a score?

[troubleclef]

@farleyfsantana

well i learned it by ear, nothing written down. just took the Heifitz clip from youtube, extracted the audio, imported it to Audacity and played it again and again until i could figure out what the pianist was doing. the melody part was easy.

glad you liked the Cais arrangement. that was one i was very pleased with myself. cheers.

[farleyfsantana]

I'll try to learn by watching i learned Cais by Milton Nascimento watching you

[ThePeaceableKingdom]

Absolutely amazed. You blew me away...

[troubleclef]

@ThePeaceableKingdom

thanks

[JMRBAQ]

Maravilloso. This time, you make me cry. THANKS.



[troubleclef]

@JMRBAQ

don't do that, now. dry those eyes. :D thanks a lot.

[Morfeusm]

great as always, sir!

[AnushaR04]

Such a beautiful sound! I can listen to it all day! :)

[troubleclef]

@AnushaR04

be my guest. thanks!

[BiggBrown28]

Make a book of all your tabs and sell it. I'll take twenty :) (there's no way you don't write anything down)

[troubleclef]

@BiggBrown28

I appreciate it but strange as it may seem I really don't need or want to work from a page with scribbles on it. WAY easier to just relearn it by listening and watching.

[Jazzguts]

Watching and listening I think the accompaniment part is just as interesting as the beautiful melody, very sensitive composition and wonderful execution,enjoyed listening, Tony hop over and listen to my " My funny Valentine" I think you'll enjoy,greetings Vic.

[troubleclef]

@Jazzguts

thanks, Vic. Yes, since all the "work" is in the piano part, that's the part I filmed. Of course, that means the clip should really be called "Accompaniment" and not "Melodie". Ha ha. cheers, man. Happy New Year. I enjoyed your latest, as well.

[Ebonius]

A beautiful thing to hear as I have my first cup of coffee on this January Sunday morning. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent yet again.

[troubleclef]

@Ebonius

Ah, music and coffee. A match made in heaven. thanks!

[Aarrmehearties]

Nice tone

[Stratboy999]

Lovely stuff.

[miaris]

Wonderful :)

[49Eleonora]

Beautiful played. Really like it and love the sound of this guitar.

Hope you don't mind if I add this version to my fav. list.

Happy new year!

[troubleclef]

@49Eleonora

don't mind at all! thanks. Happy new year.

[thehazeisgod]

My heart!

Absolutely divine, sir.

[FALENKO100]

Beautiful two-voiced interpretation of a classic modernized thanks to your wonderful and harmonious version. May God keep your ear many years.

[troubleclef]

@FALENKO100

thank you

[nuno173]

Nice, Tony! Fantastic work! Thanx for sharing

[woodchuckmool]

exquisite!! thank you

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Beautiful!!!!

Martin

[GeorgeSpan]

Beautiful sweet sound and melody. Bravo!

However, I would prefer you to film the main melody part and not the chords part.

What about using a double window?

Just great anyway!

[troubleclef]

@GeorgeSpan

well, there's more action in the accompaniment so that's why i did it this way.

thanks.

[mariocrevaggi]

great, as allways. what about overdubbing some beatles song?

[amccann7]

Tony, that was so enchanting, really lovely, my friend.

Amy

[troubleclef]

@amccann7

thank you, Amy.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Do you read tablature or do you read music? I haven't had a guitar in so long I forgot both. Very nice music you're playing though.

[MuchoSuavo]

Heck yeah! This is amazing!

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

Bravo!

[guitargalsings]

Gorgeous and masterful Tony. You have such a wonderful "touch" on guitar. Love hearing you play. Thank you for sharing. ~Janie

[troubleclef]

@guitargalsings

thanks, Janie. I appreciate it.

[RL82]

wonderful job as always, you should split screen the melody section next time if u record video for it.

[troubleclef]

@RL82

yeah, that'd be cool. but it's hard enough figuring out how to do just the audio overdub! :D

[plaidman67]

Beautiful playing of a wonderful piece! Thanks for sharing. This is fantastic!
