[tanukisama]

awesome...

[keethgreen]

you WILL be famous one day. never stop playing man no matter how much fun your friends have drinking and doing other stupid things never let anything else get in the way of youre playing. you'll be happy you never stopped.

i still play but i'm a few years older than you and i've stopped a couple times in my life and i wish i had just kept going.

anyways happy trails and keep at it :)

[SteveAudio]

Solid, bad-ass performance. Nice work!

[8491angel]

Jeffo, great job. Keep up the practicing and share some more.

Thanks

[msmacjap]

This is so beautiful it hurts, it's perfect!

[rockin982]

One thing I love about this piece transcribed for classical guitar is the sustain on the strings gives a very nice harmonic quality to the piece that you don't experience when it's played on the Cello. Although I have to admit I'm so used to hearing it in G that it's intially jarring to hear it in Eb. But it sounds lovely.

[yumeybaconcutout]

wow, great job! im 13 and ive been playing this piece for a little while, and it is, although easy to learn, incredibly difficult to master. you execute it very well (although im probably not worthy of giving any criticism whatsoever). how long have you been playing?

[brianmdv1]

Nicely done! Very nicely done.

[orangmakan]

Simply whow !

great interpretation with a lot of feeling.

I wish i could do that...

[nicknguyie]

Youre face looks soo intense when you play :) face of a pro

[alyeahal]

Wow! Beautiful job...

[engjell21]

nice

[chickenluvr2005]

FANTASTIC! Wonderful position.! Keep your fingers loose though.

[maximike007]

Hello boy, très belle interprétation ! bravo !!! C'est vraiment très bien joué pour un jeune homme comme toi, encore bravo ! Can you give yourself the tablatures please? Mickaël de France.

[ThePathofHappiness]

I admire your talent, and the work it must have taken, I wish you well.

[fluweel2]

wow, this boy totally gets it right. an absolute talent.

you're a true artist, live up to it!!

[Jim1490]

Hey man, very nice job on this piece. Great acoustics from your bathroom too haha, I do this...my mum thinks I'm crazy :P You deserve a better quality classical guitar if you're playing pieces like this at your age though. Thankyou.

[painter1955]

Very nice!

[mjverive]

Beautifully played, incredibly mature. Keep up the good work!

[pianomanskill]

Dude your flippin good at what you do bro. love the studio. thats a difficult piece. well played

[jackurma012]

[randyana]

[Jim1490]

[snipersas]

Well done on this.

[skyemozart]

Very Nice Playing, like your version alot. Love the fact you are playing in the bathroom, only guitarists do that. I am 44 and I still play in the bathroom. Keep up the great work.

[esraretin]

im so jelous now im 27 he s just a child

[shue3303]

That was beautiful.

Well done :)

[fratermus]

Lovely phrasing, an excellent ear for music.

[breakingxmyxheart]

[nattyta95]

What are you playin' in the badroom?

[slowframe]

haha, that bathroom has some nice acoustic sound to it XP

[bluesvalerio]

wow wow wow wow

i love it :D

[Wertrational]

Wahnsinn, ein Amerikaner der Bach versteht. Machst du weiter?

You go on with Bach?

Greats from Germany

[larissabf]

[polillarabiosa]

........simplemente alucinante lo de este niño.......increible......emoc­ionante

[baseballdude3430]

better than me!

[vsnagpal]

Your facial expressions tell what a great musician you are, and will become. Good job man.

[mossydie]

No, the sound he produces tells what a great musician he is and could be with hard practise.

[vsnagpal]

What I mean, was you can tell how physically involved he is in playing the music. Playing an instrument is so much more than just the sounds you make.

[mossydie]

Hmm. No, I think I'm going to be a purist and disagree with you. Music is music, for listening to - all possible effort I think should go into producing a wonderful emotional sound. I think it looks much more masterful too, keeping still.

[gringochucha]

You can be a great master and keep still all day honey.

[crsmiami]

Watch Yo Yo Ma play this on cello, he is anything but still.

[gringochucha]

If you are answering my comment I honestly have no idea what I meant when I said that.

Cheers.

[xXCocytusXx]

I want to know what this kid could do with an electric and some distrotion

[Carolinaman09]

lmao bathroom studio. Nicely done btw

[citychicken]

This was the very first pievec of music to sort of shake my soul up about twenty years ago. It remains my favorite, and watching you fall into playing it makes me feel a little less alone in the world.

A remarkable young man. Keep working hard and opportunities will doubtless find you.

[kelborgui]

Muito bom!

Só não pode para de estudar.

[tutmankingasher]

beautiful playing!!!!!! i am about ur age and i go to juilliard. just a tip for your nails, mabye they're at a funny angle or have corners so buff them ALOT and your sound will be AMAZING.

[nylonguitar]

Wow! Your playing is incredible. Your playing is well beyond your years. You are natural.thanks, I really enjoyed your playing.

[AndanteLargo]

Hey! This is just great!! I think you are going to go very far. Never stop playing!

Respect,

Per-Olov

[bndeyo]

Very nicely done!

[Blzeebabe1]

You are amazing.

[van1976]

Excellent!

--Van

[uncleparsnip]

hey...very well executed.

[MNYCNY]

Very nicely played, very musical and natural. It's like you're talking to us. I think yours is one of the nicest performances of this piece on YouTube.

[bkstump]

Hey, you need to post some more performance videos!

James

[sootandstars]

This is amazing kid.

[PoopPoopFart]

Well done, sir, rock on. Or perhaps I should say BACH on. lololz.

[Jeffo7DPT]

Uhm, your 'name' doesn't do you justice. Feel free to change it. Nevertheless, I feel that I've received the ultimate compiment after viewing your videos. Wow. I feel that I know what to look for technically and with regard to artistry. I so appreciate your kind review!

[PoopPoopFart]

Wow, thanks for the kind words! You're right, a user name change would probably be good... I should get on that sometime soon...

[8491angel]

@PoopPoopFart Jeffo's comentary about you made check your contribution and I must confessthat I really

was impressed at the amount of talent you displayed. Congrats. Please post some more with the same singer. She has some style and beauty in her singing. Thanks for sharing!

Angel

[bkstump]

Excellent performance! I played this piece to audition for Ernesto Bitetti many moons ago, so I'm aware of it's various difficulties.

Oh, and I love your performance studio. :)

Keep up the great work!!!

Jim

[Jeffo7DPT]

Thank you so much for your kind compliment! Bach is hard to play, given expectations of a metronome/canned presentation. Putting feeling into his pieces is dicey at best. And thanks for compliments on my sound studio. It's the best I can do right now. :)

[jbtaylor892]

wow, that's pretty good man. If you know where I can get the tab for it can you drop me a message? Thanks. Oh how long have you been playing?

[MatthewWSmith]

Very impressive playing! Do you know the one that Bach wrote his music for? Also, how many hours do you average practicing a day?

[Jeffo7DPT]

Thanks very much for your comment. I really appreciate the encouragement. I understand that Bach wrote SDG (Soli Deo Gloria), which means something like 'For the greater glory of God'. As far as practicing goes, I practice most every day for maybe an hour & 15 min's or so.

[SxxVIII]

Again, I love it. Thanks.

But why do you have to be playing in the toilet ? ;)

[Jeffo7DPT]

Great question! One reason is the acoustics of all the tile. It seems to sharpen the sound of the nylon strings. The other, perhaps more important reason, is that I've never been rejected by the toilet. Sometimes a neutral audience is just perfect. :)

[mayorde18]

I read that you played with some Chen Zhi's students in a competition, right?? Can you tell me something about the first place winner?? what pieces did he play?? you are good man

[Jeffo7DPT]

Hey- Great to hear from you. A song by Roland Dyens (piece?) by the 1st place winner and La Catedral by Barrios by the 3rd place winner (both Chen Zhi's students) are all that come to mind. Thanks.

[mayorde18]

and what did you play xD?

[Jeffo7DPT]

4 pieces- Joropo by Jose Luis Merlin, this Bach piece, Valsa Choro by Villa Lobos, and Sonata L. 483by Domenico Scarlatti.

[kcjrr27]

I hope you'll keep playing for many, many years. Thanks for an enjoyable performance.

[Jeffo7DPT]

Thanks very, very much for the encouragement. I played in front of some big-wigs in Austin today and at least they didn't throw tomatoes. So, I guess I did OK! I appreciate your comments and your rating!!!!

[kcjrr27]

Please do post more pieces as you get the chance. It's apparent how much you love and appreciate this great music, and that's a joy to see. You also encourage me in my practice -- I'm nowhere NEAR your level, but ... at least I get encouragement!  :)

[lute323]

Wonderful！　Your interpretation of this Bach piece is very good. I keep playing this piece more than 20 years but your play teach me some hits of improvement of my play. Please upload some other pieces. Very well done!

[Hate1978]

good to see a young kid not spraying some brainless scribbling grafity(is this the english word?)at walls or making trouble in school.... keep on playing, this is a super guitar performance.u get 5-stars from me

[SxxVIII]

Brilliant. Thanks.

[oldwhtman]

Good job, Vincent.
