Great music !

Thanks! The music, while not all that difficult on piano (for which it was originally written), is tricky for guitar.

I've played this on piano. Sounds twice as good on guitar.

shit, he makes so many mistakes in this one its almost unbareable to listen to. he wasnt ready for an audience with this song at all!

works best when played on the japanese ukelele

Funny isn't it - Albeniz was composing on piano, with the guitar in his soul. Lovely performance of a testing guitar piece.

This is not a widely recorded piece for Guitar, but is one of my favorites. Amos seems to be performing the Segovia arrangement, but he makes some odd changes such as the chord at around 2:19, and the run at 2:33 or thereabouts.

@gerundino98 oh yeah, totally. this guy makes it sound very relaxed, as if he is sitting on some mexican sidewalk playing it. i do like that, but piano just seems to bring music more alive than most instruments, on some songs anyway.
