Tanging Ikaw - Jose Valdez

*** From Rare Gems from the Philippine Archives Vol. 3 ***
I haven't heard this one nor could I find a recorded version, so here's my own take - no PHRASING, no VIBRATO, no EMOTION as my critics always tell me....I'm venting because documenting/recording all these pieces is difficult and very frustrating and people who shoot at me from their hips are not really helping - oh well, I can't please everyone. This is one those times when I want to give up and which makes me ask myself "Why do I even bother?."

Hahaha! Anong walang phrasing, vibrato at emotion?? They're wrong. Maybe they're just deaf! One thing that I admire about Kuya Raffy is that he can play the piece with passion and emotion even though he's just sight reading the score. Walang alam sa music yung mga nagcocomment ng ganun. haha! Kuya Raffy, you did your recordings great! One of the best guitarist in Youtube to!

Thanks Bryan. That was the point I was trying to make in my description. I've only spent a week on the piece by the time I record it and it's because I'm playing catch up with the rest of the repertoire. Perhaps a more vastly talented person can render the pieces beautifully without spending a lot of time learning them. Thanks again.

I always look forward to discovering that you have made a new recording and have always found your music a great delight. I'm sure I am one of many who appreciates your effort and dedication. Take heart, keep up the good work—your recordings matter very much indeed and the music you are distributing is a tribute to you and its composers,

Best wishes, SV :)

Thanks SV. I haven't been active in Delcamp (couldn't post most of my vids there), but out here, you've been a great source of support.

Go lang ng go, Raffy. Wag mong intindihin ang mga critiko na gusto kang i-discourage. Take the constructive and trash the destructive comments. Ganun lang. Everytime na tinatamad akong mag ensayo, I watch some of your vids para magising ang interest ko. I am sure there are others like me out there. For us self-taught guitarists, you are one stout hearted friend who selflessly share your talent to the world. You're awesome and more tham half a million viewers attest to that.

@lugudningginu

thanks. You've been a constant supporter. Napuno lang talaga ako sa mga private messages na very negative ang remarks. They don't realize na if they don't like what they're watching, at least it's free...walang nawala sa kanila. They didn't need to put me or my work down.

[NingasKugon09]

Yes, I don't know what they are saying but i always find your music full of emotion and always very expressive...

[i guess when one becomes popular there will be always be few that will negatively critique your works, just continue on and do what you're heart dictatates you to... ]
