Just an old Aria Pro run through a Line6 preamp.

[Lucanio]

It sounds like you recorded through a pickup but I see no cable going from the guitar. Is the audio not being recorded at the same time as the video?

[Estonianwoodsman]

awesome tone...

[jacquillo]

Thanks to Heitor Villalobos and the Great Grand Master Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, John Williams and Christopher Parkening to mention a few now, 'markus777' has joined their ranks. I like your Flawless Speed of Execution, just like hearing an Andres Segovia and Christopher Parkening 33 rpm LP Vinyl recordings way back in the mid 1970's.... Thanks for Posting Maestro.

I've been searching for this take on this etude. Hands down the best interpretation I've heard. 5/5

[markus777]

Lately, I've been trying to buy this Ramirez Classical, basically a high end student model. But I'm salivating over it and look forward to putting way more YouTube videos out there as well (as well as CD's to hockl). Thanks for watching my little video!

[EgyptRamy]

Amazing! :)

[Sillysongstress]

You are awesome!!!!!

[markus777]

Hey, Sillysongstress, you in this arena is kinda surreal. Thanks for watchin

MisterUtterson:

Thanks for watching. I use pima throughout entire piece (my pinky also moves but I'm not actually using it). On the descending run, I use basically im with my thumb anchored on the 6th string the entire time (for stability). I practice the piece ultra slow and quietly with a metronome and very staccato style just get more speed.

[MisterUtterson]

Alright, that's very helpful for me to know. Thanks alot!

[MisterUtterson]

Great playing! Do you use the a finger at all or do you play m i m on the high strings? It was difficult to spot it because it's so fast...

[YourTrollus]

Hello Markus,

You say that you are "just a guitarist" !

I say you're a "full guitarist"...

Bravo and thank you for all that you share with us on YouTube.

I have great pleasure to listen the music that you do.

[colbypizza20]

good job

[PunkFTW]

DAMN DUDE!! I am learning that piece now and i am a 2nd year guitar student in highschool. That's amazing I know how hard it is to play it. GREAT FUCKING JOB!

[markus777]

Thankyou. Practise it staccato and mezzopiano and you'll get speed when you have to speed it up. Good luck at school.

[kly45]

This sounds like Matt Bellamy was inspired by this

[guitarboris]

Nice speed!

Very clear sound!!!

Try to make "waves" (louder - quiet)

Also - do not acsent 2-1 strings

[markus777]

Thank you, sir...not quite sure what you mean by the "acsent 2-1 strings"...it's probably too complex to convey to me via email. Cheers!

[tantriclondon]

the best interpretation !!! i make a big search...that was the best!!!

[vegasmebaby]
