      i watched this 4 years ago as a guitar noob.. now i have developed more skills and listened to it again and noticed the minor 'mistakes'.. which is in all, is okay, its just when you have the ear you just cant unhear.. its ok though this is a difficult and very technical.. still a 10/10 performance.. 👍

    My 20yr old son passed away on 08/13/2019 and we had to wait for his recipients to arrive for the transplants. That was a 2 day wait but in the mean time I stayed with him playing a selection of music. This piece was one of them and the most memorable. Thank you, I appreciate everything that you do.

      there is difference between performance mode and practice mode.
      when you are in practice mode if you make a mistake, you go back and practice that part until its clean
      when you are in performance mode, you must continue without flinching. you are boudn to make a mistake sometimes while performing.
      skill is just to keep going like nothing happened.

    For many decades I have collected and seen in concert the greatest guitarist of the 20th century (Segovia, Bream, Williams, Lagoya, Yepez, Barruecos, etc.) as well as many other renown virtuoso guitarist and lutenist to the point that I mistakenly though that I have heard everything until I listened to your playing. Your breathtaking interpretations refreshes my senses and re-spark the feeling I felt when I listened to Segovia for the first time and motivated me to play as well. Thank you for re-energizing us and the guitar repertoire with your talent, musicianship and very thought out lessons. I also appreciate your dedication to early music instruments that makes you a very round and balance musician.

An then there is Charles Berthoud on bass together with Victor Wooten.

    I used to love playing romantic music on the piano. I’ve played this piece many times. Eventually I fell out of love with Classcal / Romantic and fell in love with the music of Bach. But hearing Chopin on the guitar I’m again a fan. I think this music pairs so well with your instrument and your playing.
