[annabatarowicz]

That's great Bridget merikedes is going to transcribe this I'n guitar technics nest month I am going to learn it. I hope I can play it as good as you man

[wozza2341]

Bravo! Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[brobdj]

Very well played and your guitar has a beautiful full bodied tone. Nice! What make is it?

[MaxiiCavs]

Congratulations !! from Argentina :)

[maxbirsa]

bravo!!! you play great!!!

[deathroundthecorner2]

one question about your nails :), do you have any, if yes how do you shape them,because im haveing trouble getting tone out of them XD??

[PaulSaywood]

@deathroundthecorner2 Yes, nails are important, but you need to keep the edges smooth and ramped.

[Campestral]

@deathroundthecorner2 nails don't have to be long, as long as you can play the strings with the tone you need then what do you reckon? nothing rhetorical we all wonder such things yet we always come back to our own wisdom :)

[Primos2212]

ohh es la cancion del nokia :P

[MrTomasplc]

Hey, you did a good job!!! I have one tune of Tarrega in my channel!

Congratulations from Brazil!

[jedispy]

It's a great song. Too bad his Nokia cell phone started ringing at 0:18 into the video. Gotta remember to turn off that ringer homie.

[houseman179]

i like that gutiar its got a really nice sound. your fingers look like you play more electric guitar than classical :p but thats just a guess, really well played

[derpokerlude]

Hey Paul. I want to ask you a favour.Please

Nice Playing.You fill it with Live.

[MsRuby20]

Great! :)

[enenenene0989]

beautyful hands

[klonakingdom]

u're good.. i mean great!! ;D

[redbeardmusic]

Thanks for your post, I enjoyed your playing. The phrasing is tricky in the second theme no?

Loadsa nice music here, don't know about any Strauss though...

[metalmutha]

Brilliant m8, very good job. Wish I could play like that. I've had a stab at this on my steel string acoustic but it doesn't sound very good. Plus I only know the intro, well sort of! Any constructive criticism would be welcome. Thx.

[YVONNE241191]

I am in love.......in your guitar-I have never asked you what kind of gitar do you play?

What made it?

Brillant!!

[MRZEROO]

it is very nice Paul very well played!! 5 stars

[ownalm]

the first part sounds happy, that make me feel you're type of guy who like to express emotions with high degree i think.

[key2kingdom]

this looks much harder than it sounds. Great job Paul.

[PaulSaywood]

That's proably just me and my bad playing. :)

Thanks dude

[key2kingdom]

hahaha! that's modest Man, but totally untrue. Grade 8 with distinction is in the post!

[disneypassholder]

@PaulSaywood On the contrary, I believe that what he is saying is you make it sound easy.

[yarods]

beautiful vals, i love tarrega, bravo, friendly, patrick

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you Patrick

[nonexponential]

Isn't it amazing how Tarrega absorbed the essence of

vals? Thanks - Athan

[PaulSaywood]

Indeed, he is the Strauss of the guitar world, speaking of which, I would love to transcribe some od Strauss's waltes. :)

Thanks Athan.

[CrazyAllyB]

Lovely Paul, makes me think of warm sunny days, and orange groves...NOT nokia, lol!

Caroline :D

[PaulSaywood]

Thanks Caroline,

I agree it is a very summery piece

[juliemusic87]

love the song and you did it so well

are you going to apply for partnership on here again i think you should

lovely paul 5 stas, thats all yt is allowing me to give you

[PaulSaywood]

Hello Julie,

I think I am still such a long way of becoming a partner on this channel, I will need tens of thousands of views on my videos, that may happen one day but I can't see it happening in the near future.

Thanks for always being here though. :)

[jondavis1234]

Seeing these videos makes me realize how much I've missed your guitar videos.

Please make more of these, Paul! I think they're more important than your comedy videos.

[PaulSaywood]

I am working on about 9 different pieces at the moment so I should keep you happy for a while, just not sure which one to post later.

Thank you very much Jon, I really do appreciate your encouragement.

[ajekyllandhyde]

I didn't know that the nokia tune was related to Tarrega..I'm serious! :)

I do like these vals rythms..And here is a very well played one..Conragts!

I wonder if you have ever tried working on Canarios?

[PaulSaywood]

Well Nokia only used a small part of it of course, and it was free from copyright so who can blame them?

I have tried Canarios once, I found it quite awkward, but as I am in the mood for playing lots I may well put it on my 'to do' list.

Thank you

[YoJolina]

Always fun to hear this nokia tune!

Best,

Jo

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you Jo

[delboy1978uk]

yay! that was cool! well played!

i didn't know he wrote 'the nokia tune'! :-P

[PaulSaywood]

Yeah, apparently he was going to work for Vodaphone but they didn't offer enough cash. ;-)

Thanks Derek

[delboy1978uk]

lmao! yeah and apparently albeniz wrote material for the doors! ;-)

[haggidubious]

Bravo!

[elczanka]

Paul, welcome !!!!!! With a great pleasure to listen to you. Great music. I always admire.

Alicja

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you very much Alicja

[Depressedbarbie]

Thank you for making me happy as always.

[PaulSaywood]

Glad to have helped. :)

Thank you

[dhanabandot]

i've watched this 5 times and it still very entertaining.. the tunes are awesome.. i enjoyed it very well..

5 stars...

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you, I'm pleased that you like it. :)

[ecotts]

good show... :) i enjoyed it very much

[callingclarity]

awsome man loving the long hair too!

[PaulSaywood]

It's about time I had it cut really, I'm getting too old for it.

Thank you :)

[dogdigger50]

very well done paul.can't get how serious you look here and on gs you are so nonserious.

[PaulSaywood]

Yes it's a bit of a change eh? But I these tunes are quite difficult, and I have to concentrate, whereas those other videos I can relax and talk shit, I'm not sure what I am better at.

:)

[dogdigger50]

your good at both

[PaulSaywood]

Well I am a bit of a 'jack of all trades', I was going to be a driving instructor or a mechanic, I'll have a go at anything, but mastering something is more difficult.

[dogdigger50]

classical looks as if it would be more difficult than electric cause mistakes would show up easier

[PaulSaywood]

You are spot-on there David, it's easy to hide mistakes with distortion and in the mix with other band members, solo classical is very exposed, every mistake can be heard, I certainly find it more difficult, but then I like the never-ending challenge of it. :)

[karryn13]

Amazing. :)

[dennise7star]

Beautiful song! Well done:):)

~Dennise

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you Dennise

[claudiaflamenco]

just great! comme toujours... :)

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you :)

[ElemeFF]

You're in fine form at the moment ... quality stuff.

Any chance of some details about the guitar and the strings that you use.

Regards and 5*

[PaulSaywood]

My guitar is a Cuenca model, quite cheap but it's much better than the last one I used. The stings are just Martin high tension, I would prefer D'Addario but I can get the Martin's at a very low price from a dealer.

Thanks for watching. :)
