i studied guitar under Emmett Finley, also a student of the same master. Looking at your hands is like looking at his, just so sublime. And... furthermore, I can see he gave you lots of room for interpretation. You don't hear that with many other guitarists. They play so dry, I can't even listen. It's a very enjoyable blast from my past hearing you. Thank you for sharing.

WOW! Fabulous!

I met you at Berkeley Music exchange when you were picking up your Kohno. Are you enjoying it? :-)

If my hands had been bigger I would be playing it tonight! Thanks again for playing it for me! Eric (bought the Montalvo Fleta Model)
