I felt inspired to play classical guitar again after watching “This is Berk.” I’m 28 years old and haven’t played in about 10 years. But I’ve picked it back up and bought your tabs. It’s slow going, but I’m learning. Now I need to learn Romantic Flight lol.

[@Thegenerator100]

Bout the same for me except I'm 20 and hadn't played for 2 years only until recently.. I knew for a fact however, from the second I heard this rendition of Romantic Flight that I was going to pick it back up. Honestly, some of the chords (especially those pesky barre chords) and techniques are making it reeeeally tough for me but I'm determined to not give up, it's just that beautiful. The way BTG plays it makes it look waay to easy lol. That's how you know you're listening to a pro, they make it look easy

[@Aethrin]

One of the things I love about classical guitar the most is that at its core, it really more of a storyteller type of music, rather then a well wraught feeling to grandiose artpiece. Wether I listen to grand symphony, hard rock, electro, rave or even barouque/classical/romantic era not are as down to earth as this form. At the end of a day, there is a great feeling to sitting at the base of a tree and playing classical guitar at the setting sun horizon. Humility as a work of pure art. Telling a story that everyone can relate to.
