Hey Rob, I am doing a video about the life of Catarina de Bragança and I will love to you use your music as. bed to the video. Do you think this will be okay?

Muito lindo! ❤

Hi, lovely playing once again. I have been learning it since the first time I have heard you play it so nicely. I have a litlle question to my fellow guitar players: what's happening at 2:45 is it a trills, I don't understand it's just so smooth (on my tab I have 7-5-7-5 for this part for the first string, but it quite doesn't ring the same). If any one pass by thank you for your help, and anyway happy playing all

I'm late to the party, but gobsmacked as always Rob. Well done my friend.

Hi i really love the the rendition, can i ask which song is this? and do you have maybe tabs i could purchase to learn it?

Amazing story! Rob I am sure that if you did lose that finger, you would still be playing today like the great Django Reinhardt figured out his two finger system! Cheers to 50 years of good music!

I'd love to know what device your beautiful voice is recorded on, such as the microphone and stage stereo you use. 😂

May many others come!

Una dulce melodía. Se me figura del Renacimiento.

Hello Rob, May I ask you what arrangement you are playing ? It is the one from Luys de Narváez, right ? Hope this message finds you well

Great performance, great material. Was this the G208CWC ?

Avvesome!

Fantastic!

hope you are well Rob

🌼wow🌼

Bob the breed eater good on ye

Beautifully played. Hope you are doing well. I haven't seen you post in a long time.

Love the album Rob, nice to see some of the pieces being played on video as well.

Fantastica interpretazione, molto bene personalizzata

Rob, eres excelente músico felicidades!!! Intentaré tocar esta pieza con la maestría con la que tú lo haces!!!!

Lovely! And thanks for the string review.

The tones in his fingers

I'm reading a Carter Family bio....and suddenly an acoustic archtop...seems desirable...that one looks fantastic. :)

October 2024: Just discovered this and enjoyed it immensely. As a complete and absolute beginner to classical guitar I have wanted a good comparison between playing with and without nails. There is another CG artist who plays with nails and who has also covered Sagreras Book 2 on KZbin. I loaded up this video in one tab of my browser and also loaded his video into another tab,. I then played #3 from your video and the same part from his video and did this for each part , to see how each sounded. The result was very interesting for me. Both of you are excellent players, and both videos seemed to be very well recorded. I truly enjoyed both and the beauty of the pieces came through in both, and both were very engaging. But there was definitely a difference in tone and sound. Your "no nails" playing reminded me of the difference in my hifi system after I made the switch to a tube amplifier. The music was the same, but the tubes added a warmth and intimacy to the sound that I personally found to be more enjoyable. This is a very subjective thing and in no way suggests that one is superior to the other. My addition of tubes to my hifi system was for me and me alone. I can and do enjoy listening to music on systems that do not have tubes, but for my own personal taste, I choose tube, In the same way, although this little experiment of mine is not perfect, I am choosing to start my classical guitar learning with no nails because that sound really does appeal to me. This was interesting, because i could see how it would be possible for someone else to do the exact same little test and reach the opposite conclusion. It really does come down to personal taste!

Wunderschön.

awesome playing man. i play my ukulele in 5ths, and love bach too.

This is majestic. Thank you Maestro McKillop 🙏🙏

The First set of 3 start from the high E string. That confused me, lol. Thanks.

Buena interpretación. No corre con la música y casi respeta todos los silencios de la melodía. Todos los intérpretes la apuran demasiado y se comen todos los silencios que permiten saborear los acordes

Great Sound

I found this video during the early days of Covid ….i finally found the book Do you have any plans to try to get it re released?

Hi Rob. I've been playing classical guitar for over 20 years, and all this time, I never imagined playing without nails could sound this good. After discovering your videos, I now find it hard to listen to other guitarists-it’s both a blessing and a curse! My own nails are gone too, and I’ve switched to playing with gut strings. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift!

Touching music Rob, thanks.

Very nice, including the theatricals, I would play it the same if It would be my song, so yes, resonates with all 20millions of me.

Молодец

You are my favourite guitarist to listen to right now.

Thank you for sharing the video! You mentioned a technical fingerstyle book with exercises-could you let me know which one that is?

This is how de Visée should be played.

Oh Rob, this is really stunning 🎶

Hi Rob, we haven't had any news for 7 months. I hope everything goes well...

me was told not to lean with my pinky

Sir, this is just beautiful. :,) Thank you for sharing such beautifully played songs :,)

Its nice to hear a maetro with no nails play. Classical guitar music would be taken up more if the insistence to nails, by a lot of tutors, is dropped. Some of the reasons i gave up as a kid was that long nails on the right hand attracted unwanted playground attention and they naturally got broke playing out, especially basketball. Instead of hearing how disadvantaged my hand positions were because of insufficient nails, maybe it wouldve been better encouraging actual playing. Any way, 30+ years later, Covid lockdown made me pick up the guitar again and am enjoying playing, with no nails. Also, without the constant 'tabs are cheating', tabs have allowed me to learn pieces way past the level of my notation reading abilities. I just have to check-in with the musicians playing the piece to work out how to get the 'sound'. A disadvantage of most tabs is that they generally dont have the same detail of info as classical notation...

Maestro RMK, your playing makes me stop and smell the flowers, indeed !

Maestro RMK, you are a rare talent who can bring out the best of things : intonation of strings, sound of the instrument, the flow of the music piece, the art of fingering, the voicings of a certain mood, etc. . .

Inspirational. I wonder incidentally, have you ever tried the Ap Huw MS?

There are many Aguado waltzes. What's the opus number of this one?

OK, I am brand new to this tuning but I've been looking all over for something like this. Going to buy the book right now

too fast ....i love it ...but too fast

Your sound makes a good argument for playing without nails. 🙂
