***** BEAUTIFUL LUCA *****

[lucabez]

Hi Raissa,

Compliments again for your so lovely playing!

luca

[yourisaforever]

Lover, there will be another one, who'll hover over you beneath the sun, tomorrow, see the things that never come today...

When you see me fly away without you, shadow on the things you know, feathers fall around you, and show you the way to go, it's over, it's over...

[lucabez]

Hi Isa,

I don't have neither the voice neither the courage to sing so beautiful words! Many thanks for to have remembered them!

All my best,

luca

[yourisaforever]

@lucabez

Hi Luca, sorry I didn't meant you couldn't sing! No need ! The words just came to me while listening to your beautiful playing, only later I saw you have them included in "more info"...I think I'll often come back to your music!

Thanks,

Isa

[hairyass1959]

Eccellente Luca...un pezzo di storia in fingerstyle...

Paolo

[lucabez]

Grazie mille Paolo!... e poi detto da uno younghiano di qualità come te ha sicuramente un valore aggiunto!

A prestissimo,

luca

[owlet1963]

The sound of this guitar is just awesome, Luca! But what is a guitar with a beautiful sound if it is not played by the right person witht the according talent? No carpenter for you, Mister, Wizard it is, lol

[lucabez]

...Ahaha!... Thank you really very much, Nathalie!...

A time STEFAN GROSSMAN told me: "Or you playing guitar or guitar playing you"!... I try only to guitar playing!...

lol,

luca

[owlet1963]

you met Stefan Grossman too??? woow! I'm impresssed! well, his statement has truth in it... Call me insane, but I think guitars, like old houses and old ships , have souls. If in the wrong hands, they DO play the guitar player indeed. Guitars actually have masters, not all guitars I try out appeal to me and allow me to play them. Sounds crazy? oops.. I KNEW it! :)

[lucabez]

Yes, guitars have surely a soul... and for that we can feel music in our soul... as you can see, I'm just a little crazy too... ahah!...

Stay well,

luca

[owlet1963]

I am glad we agree on guitars having souls! :) Cause they DO! And only those sensitive to music know that and can tell!

And as for crazy... Welcome to the club, we have jackets! STRAIT jackets, haha!

Seriously now... Someone I would have LOVED to meet would have been Marcel Dadi, he died way too soon!!

Take care!

Nathalie

[lucabez]

Great guitarist Marcel Dadi!... great musician and surely great man too!...

[LeftyGonads]

Great playing!! You are a fellow lefty, which is always nice to see. I was thinking of buying the Guild GAD 50 lefty. It seems to be the best acoustic for under $1000. Yours sounds great.

[songmansinatra120]

excellant arr. and performance on one of my favorit neil songs.******

[lucabez]

Hi Mike,

thank you very much!...

I'm really pleased that you like it.

Best regards,

come vedi però in questo caso anch'io, se parliamo di chitarre, non sono stato fedele alla mia irlandese!... ehehe!...

Un caro saluto ed a presto,

luca

[markskywalker71]

Non fedele, ma basta che ogni tanto la suoni senno' si dimentica tutte le canzoni che le hai insegnato:)

[lucabez]

...ahaha!... Davvero, hai proprio ragione!...

[MegMerrilies]

Great playing of a beautiful tune. I don't know this song so I will have to search for it now!

Hi Meg,

[universalmind3000]

Il primo a commentare...che onore prof! aspettavo da tempo un nuovo video nel suo canale e, come di consueto, si tratta di un bellissimo riarrangiamento! ...Certo che questa Guild ha proprio un gran suono!

[lucabez]

Ciao Davide,

che piacere risentirti!... grazie mille per le tue gentili parole... lo sai che quando iniziai a suonare la chitarra ero un fan sfrenato di Neil Young?... questo pezzo è un po' a ricordo dei vecchi tempi!... Davvero, il suono della Guild è così ricco di armonici e risonanze che in certi punti sembra quasi che insieme alla chitarra suonino anche delle tastiere!...

Un caro saluto

P.S. pensa all'appuntamento di Renbourn, se ti va!...
