    I can't understand why anybody would give her a thumbs down she's talented and shes worked diligently to hone her skill and direction, she keeps doing what she loves doing you should applaud her not Boo her, The haters can never give credit when credit is due.

    Era el único hijo de una familia pobre. Con un esfuerzo inmenso mi abuelita materna, me compró una guitarra. MIs padres querían que aprendiera a tocar un instrumento. Finalmente, a duras penas lo hice. Ahora soy un hombre de 74 años. En esos recuerdos de mi niñez tocaba el instrumento cada vez que me sentía muy triste. Si bien aún tengo aquella guitarra he olvidado todo y mis dedos no me podrán ayudar. Cada vez que tengo esos débiles sentimientos, propios de mi edad, de los recuerdos y las cosas pasadas me pongo a pensar en momentos que se fueron. esos que entonces me afectaban enormente. Sin embargo es esto que escribo un craso error.. La vida no es más que esto, He visto partir muchísimas personas que adoré. Me gustaría acompañarme con la guitarra.. Aunque creo que es tarde para ello. Agradezco a los que hayan dejado unos segundos de sus vidas en leer estas palabras.

    What a vision! And such a talent! She plays with a native, iberic soul. From Spain or Portugal. What amazing young lady...💚🙋‍♂️

    Translation of Tito Livio Catalano's comment as it was so touching and inspiring. The beauty and power of music to transcend language is always miraculous.
    He was the only son of a poor family. With an immense effort, my maternal grandmother bought me a guitar. My parents wanted me to learn to play an instrument. Finally, I barely made it. I am now a 74-year-old man. In those memories of my childhood, I played the instrument every time I felt very sad. Although I still have that guitar, I have forgotten everything, and my fingers will not be able to help me. Every time I have those weak feelings, typical of my age, of memories and past things, I start thinking about moments that are gone. those that then affected me enormously. However, it is this that I write a gross error... Life is nothing more than this, I have seen leave many people that I adored. I would like to accompany myself on the guitar... Although I think it's late for that. I thank those who have left a few seconds of their lives to read these words.

    Greetings from Greece and congratulations! You are perfect. You play every note so precisely and crystal clear. I learnt Asturias when I was a young student, and it was one of the titles I played to pass the exams here in Athens. But I have to confess that you play it better than I used to do!! Congratulations again!

    Your hard work paid off, you have made this piece come back to life with vitality and freshness which it has been lacking for ages. After reading your bio, I'm not surprised. This piece is hard to play, but it takes a master to extract its full potential which you did with ease. Power sound and meticulous playing. Congratulations. Wish you all the best.

    The music is beyond sublime, it’s transcendent. As if the composer tapped into a dimension rarely understood. It evokes a sense of place, time and emotion one can’t quite put into words. How a person can dig so deep into the creative mind to compose a masterpiece like this is beyond my comprehension. Bravo! I have listened to this many times since I discovered it.

    @davidpbailey 4 года назад +32

    This is an inspirational arrangement. Certain sections have been altered slightly to ease playing. I have always struggled with bars 25 to 36 with the tremolando effect of m i on the B string. Alexandra's alteration makes it easier and still highly effective.

    This is right now the best version I’ve heard of this piece. I loved the clarity and power that she played it with (although these 2 words aren’t appropriate to describe it, I’m sure).
    I can only imagine how much practice went into learning this piece. Beautifully done, miss. Finesse!!
    And o how beautiful you are :) those dimples, haha, could kill a man 🤩
