This young man - MIKE BONCHONSKY - has been trying to teach me how to play the guitar for the last few months. Before each of our lessons Mike will pick up a guitar and just warm up. One time I asked if he'd mind if I filmed his "warm up" picking and put it on YouTube.
The song is "Asturias de Leyenda" by Spanish composer Issac Albeniz. This compsition was first played in public in 1892.
You got that right, Paulie! I will sit there literally mesmerized watching his fingers move around the fret board. And the great thing is he likes almost all styles of music. Occasionally he'll go into this reggae style riff that will knock your socks off!

The young man can certainly play, can't he? Thanks for the kind words, Frank. I'll see him again on Thursday and I'll pass them along to him.

Thanks much, Lynn! The guitar he's playing in this video is one that the store lets him use for instructional purposes. The instrument he uses for recitals is a hand made guitar that sounds like it was made in heaven.
Thanks again for the kind comment, Lynn!
