And"a great artist can come anywhere." Verdad?

[Onosk]

Yeah Conpeito, that's it!

This is incredible a Torres guitar made in 1887 sounds like that?

[Onosk]

Well, the live sound is very much better... :-)

I would like to study this song do you have the transcription for guitar?

[NicolasSpit]

not good. he tried to put to much feeling and he ended up making such a beautiful song ugly. just what happens with women, using too much make up and paint on their face , ending up ugly as well. not trying to offend the artist, just an opinion

[raffi719]

FOR ME , YOU ARE LIKE JULIAN BREAM.

[LadyLorridaile]

@jonewer i was refering to you saying "learn to read music", poor thing.

[jonewer]

@LadyLorridaile I dont know why you have to go around insulting people. I said he was very good but not as good as Bream. Because frankly, no one is as good as Bream.

I am not judging anyone, its my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

Also, you're ugly and you smell.

[LadyLorridaile]

@jonewer you're just a poor stupid comparing with this artist, who has a world-wide fame... now YOU learn to have a bit of respect before judging!

[raffi719]

excellent with feelings , interpretation and techniques. one of my best preferred guitarists. I wish you more success.

[crreativeme]

Ah, I stumbled onto this like an unexpected flower in a field. Beautiful--thank you for posting.

Excellent cantabile, expression, colour, contrast and interpretation of this Mendelssohn. Those who cannot produce a similar sound out of a decent guitar should refrain from playing....until they have understood the importance of tone production.
