Thomas Viloteau

[NocturneGQ]

how many of the past gfa winners use smallmans?

[duderock009]

@NocturneGQ gabriel bianco , judicael perroy and thomas viloteau ...all french!!!

[MrArdelco1970]

good interpretation and nice composittion 

[sir1920]

this is realyl beautiful.

[poupee58]

I apologize for my dispariging remarks ,nasty of me. Violteau is one of the very best young guitarists anywhere ,he is a very talented and sensitive musician .His guitar sounds fine in his hands which are magical hands .His playing of the Brouwer is first rate..

[poupee58]

Viloteau has beautiful hands for the guitar .He is a very good player but needs to get himself a proper ,beautiful sounding guitar mott an artificial sounding piece of junk like Smallman.

[classicalmannick101]

@poupee58 dont be so quick to judge lattice-braced guitars. Smallman may have designed/pioneered them, but by no means is he the best at building such guitars, even he admits so. He just shaves the soundboards too thin to get a big volume, whilst diminishing the "traditional" sound of the guitar. A lattice braced guitar with a normal thickness soundboard imbibes the best tonal qualities of both traditional and lattice guitars.

[poupee58]

Flemencojames .You obviously did NOT know Segovia .He would have thrown smallman guitars in the garbage can .They sound like loud banjos.

[goodha2]

This guy was cool, after winning he played at a church in miami and my friend and I took him out to see Miami the next day and hung out all day, really funny guy. Also plays sweet blues electric guitar!!!

[Dreamdek]

brower?

[TheEarlOfDublin]

Thomas Viloteau is incredible

[jazzadellic]

It's a good thing that there are many different types of music, because it would be a very boring existence otherwise, for both listeners and musicians.

[thinkpad20]

Just recently discovered this guy... now one of my favorites. I hope to hear more from him!

[aarib120]

this is really a heart-breaker song, very good interpretation, it seems he dedicated his life to this. it's really rare to find someone plays a music witch you have to be a pro' just to listen. probablly he did sign a contract withe the satan!

[fuckthu]

that's smallman guitar kekekee

[Classicalmusicfan123]

Does anybody know what guitar he's playing?

[Pjoffel]

He plays a Greg Smallman...

[aarib120]

do you?

[maarargu]

i wanna one of them, but are very very expenssives

[capnpayne]

haha

[Entropy56]

This music is an intellectual fuck.

[halvey123]

What was intended Sir. Do you even Know?

[halvey123]

Great technique, not sure where the tunes are. Melodies to take home with me. Haunting guitar but does not make me smile and think of Romance or fine dining as other classical guitar does. My vote goes to Tarrega.

[Guitarwizard]

Fine dining? you, good sir, are an idiot.

[halvey123]

The pleasure of a fine dining experience with live classical guitar performing melodic repetoire seems to have eluded you. Perhaps you are socially challenged. But to stoop to name calling. Tsk,tsk,tsk. Consider the source. Happy with Tarrega, thank you sir.

[Guitarwizard]

halvey,

This man didnt dedicate his entire life and soul to classical guitar, to provide background music for your meal at the olive garden. This man is a genius/artist. Your remarks are unfitting, crude, and common.

You dont understand art or culture, so keep your comments inside your trailerpark where they belong.

[iiirdeyeheretik]

You are horribly shallow and undeserving to listen to music at all. I'm horridly offended to hear someone call my music something as base and repugnant as "dining music".

[halvey123]

Deep Sea Seamus, please let it all out, perhaps without the expletive, what a joy to listen to classical guitar(which Kenny G does not play) such as Tarrega, which I do play and love to play for listeners who are able to take the melodies home with them. Lighten up. We are in this for the genre, not ourselves.

[GirlyGoalie12]

This guy came to my guitar class. He was so good. I wish I could play like that.

[GirlyGoalie12]

I sat right in front of him.

[goodha2]

well im taking him to south beach tomorrow here in miami before he goes to puerto rico so there :P lol

[goodsonbasinger]

Pretty cool stuff , good player.

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

This piece has a weird feeling, it would be good for a scary movie, nice playing tho

[LumberjackHands]

It's from Leo Brouwer and it's called Danza de dos negras if i remember......

[ImperialK2]

Rito de las Orishas

[LumberjackHands]

Thanks! Can't find my old tape of it :)

[hiddenmarcovich]

danza de las diosas ngras del rito de los orishas

[japenagosc]

Isn't this Exordium?

[japenagosc]

Leo Brouwer - El Rito de los Orishas - I Movement (Exordium(

[piyomer]

very nice sound..

[bergeronf]

that's hwat happens when R. Dyens trains you and you make the effort. can't wait to see this guy next term.

[ropgchris]

i hate you for having a Smallman guitar!!!

[tibow01]

En plus de toutes ces nombreuses qualité,c'est un "pompeur" hors du commun, peut être un jour deviendra t il "tractionneur".

merci pour la découverte d'un autre univers guitaristique.

souvenir de colmar!

[jloomis666]

this man is a great guitarist. i saw him live at my school a couple weeks ago. he was amazing

[flemencojames]

Your crazy who wrote that below thomas is an outstanding guitarist,the piece is stunning, and segovia would of loved the tone.

[blarghwastaken]

I'm not sure if it was meant to sound that way, but to me the tone is awfully nail-y. He plays near the bridge almost the entire time. I do not generally care for that tone, but I think the piece is wonderful.

[aitkenjoshua]

I'm three minutes in and he hasn't gone near the bridge much at all. What video did you watch?

[hiwatt65]

I think he intentionally plays this piece that way. It helps to give it a tense, anxious feel. I rather like it, personally. Matter of fact, about a month ago I saw him play this at my college in Grand Rapids. I sat about 20 feet from him while he played, and this piece in particular, gave me goosebumps.

[jhg12989]

Rito de los Orishas is one of Leo Brouwer's greatest master works!!! Extremely effective concert piece if interpreted well.

[jargenlink]

wonderful playing who is the luthier of this guitar.

[Abs0lutGuitar]

That's a Smallman.

[SoloGuitaristNet]

Great Player! We are presenting him in March.

[fabienKLE]

un des meilleurs guitaristes classiques..impressionnant..ou­vert aux autres styles..et tres serein en live...

[gabyanco]

bravo !
