@cirillosp Unfortunately William's started the trend of modern guitarists playing the piece really fast. Using his immaculate technique he swamped the dynamics and emotion of the piece. This spurned an army of young guitarists that concentrate on technique and forget the emotion.

@Scarlov87 HAHAHA YOU'RE SO FUCKING FUNNY! Wow! How did you come up with a joke like this? it's so clever and new! I've never heard anything like this before on youtube. You're so awesome. You must be really intelligent to come up with such a smart joke.... -_-

@homer1990kne Fully agree, Homer. The art of guitar playing is not the proper occasion to promote chineseborn cheap circus! Howgh!

he's pulling the strings!

@01GuitarGuru01 he didnt write asturias. This piece was originally written for the piano by Isaac Albeniz and segovia brought it to the guitar

[FingerMyFinger]

@01GuitarGuru01 he's not the composer, he is recognized as the man who brought this composition from the piano to the guitar and had the guitar validated as a worthy instrument to study, instead of just having it as a play thing.

obviously this gentle man is a genius for writing such a great piece, but when he plays the chords he pauses... John Williams doesnt and its very hard to do that

Awesome! I need to learn this...

@indigoblue4me NO I replied to the person I wanted. You and I both know this is a great performance, but the moron hellgodhaven calls himself a music teacher that obviously doesn't appreciate music like it is supposed to be. I just wanted to add to the comment and show how little he really knows about music.

All music become personal. Comparing one performer to another is stupid. Enjoy the music for music-sake and beauty of it...My message to all listeners!*

[indigoblue4me]

@jkb052088 agreed, I think the only problem here is that you got the people mixed up that left messages here.

Read the messages again and you will see what I mean.

Either way, this IS a masterpiece and a MASTER playing this piece, of that there is NO doubt !!!

There have been, and always will be masters at guitar playing, but Andrés Segovia and Narciso Yepes will always be on the top of my list of the greatest of the greatest guitar players of all time. <3

However I can play this it...My way, which note for note will sound the same..its the beauty of the performance which moves the listener. However close mindedness to anything does not allow for freedom of expression. So this hellgodhaven methods may work for most people, but I believe he is correct in the fact not anyone can play an instrument. The difference is the want to and passion to learn. Slow and correct technique anyone can learn anything with a GOOD teacher!!!

[jkb052088]

Some people just see performances of this and see how much better this man is at guitar and they choose to settle. Obviously this "teacher" believes he teaches the student in a way that they should be able to play anything. I am a music teacher by profession and by trade (B.ME) If I would have listened to what people told me or how well I played at one time I would never be where I am. I sing and can play any instrument that I put my hands on. Can I play this piece as well as this man? No
