[2009framat]

@Pikangu

I want to listen to your guitar playing. I doubt it is better but maybe I am wrong :-)

[gnralex1987]

Hehe i have Exams on guitar today and im gonna play this song XD

[salterrific]

A very wonderful technical representation of the piece, however I agree with the previous comments relating to expression. This is a very romantic piece requiring fluid changes in tone color and dynamics. The dynamics were good, however I would recommend using a different tone color when melodies are repeated. It would make the piece much more interesting.

[iapaia5]

best cover of this song i think.

However, you should do it a little faster, especially the triplets. (quarter note = 76)

(sorry about the bad english)

[soniramsonitnatsnok]

@iapaia5 quarter notes at 66 are [to me at least] more potent to express and show off tonal differences and emotions in this song;)

[camiellll]

you have to decorate your things more

this is really standard

i have the paper work and what you do is precisely what they say

it's really boring.

but what you played was nice.

[zashleyfreaknfan4eva]

Mr Joe You rock! This is very very very very well played really amazing! i'm playing this study right now and i'm trying to play it just like you.......Wonderful interpretation!

Maya :))))))))

[theoden707]

I could set a metronome to this and it would be dead on... not the best interpretation, this is very romantic guitar writing. You can slow down and speed up to better communicate the phrases and passions.

[xMyPeanutx]

I remember my teacher told me to wear an arm sock of some sort :)

[sircloud7]

is there a purpose? i've seen other guitarists wear them too

[xMyPeanutx]

You can wear them to slide you right hand up and down without difficulty.

[mopsbombe]

it's really good

[JesseGuitar07]

sounds really nice!

thanks for sharing my favorite song:)

all the best

jesse

[lilla19930519]

ITs good but its too fast. The romances are slow

[uraniumbombs]

not only that, but he doesnt stick to the rhythm , especially on those triplets

[DonAnzalone]

Well done!!

In fact it is Adagio by Johan Kaspar Mertz.

[LumberjackHands]

Great work! I would have like to hear those triplet a tempo but it's a personal choice when your doing an interpretation. I'm wondering from which Opus it comes? All i got is Adagio and i have some more rest in my score to do.

[entay12345]

Funny! Master Horowitz had a same silly opinion at the beginning. But after he met Mr.Eduardus Sasrawan Halim , an Indonesian Chinese, Master Horowitz change his opinion.

[koelerberg]

great. My favorite with Mertz. My scores are titles "Adagio" but that part is - not 100% but still - a part of a piece called "Romance"

[denizmertcan]

Is the song's name really romance?

[echisenefrega]

great play, really good....

[putridmist]

balamanti2 = racist

[fede1886]

very nice.

I love Mertz music.

[runnyeggs]

very nice

[balamanti2]

chinese playing classical guitar; seems they lack a little bit the soul of european spirit

[GenkiSudo0922]

You're pretty arrogant for a guy who doesn't have any videos. Who cares if he's Asian? The world is nothing without Asians.

[Dauphinplayer]

that is funny tho that is the sense of some people. Hector Villa-Lobos said that only Brasilians should play his music. I think it's cause some people are threatened if someone from another race can do something just as good or better.

[balamanti2]

I am not european you Moron...Villa Lobos is right...you can not eat a better Pasta than Italy ,or a better Tabbouli than Lebanon, Nor play Villa Lobos if UR not Brasilian...Chinese R good in emitation.but the piece still it lacks the spirit :-P

[mannotwiththeplan]

Thank you for letting everyone you are an asshole.

[LumberjackHands]

Humm! This is way under Joe's abilities. I guess he played it as a study more than really want to do a concert version.
