Alexandra Whittingham at 2023 SXSW Music Festival

[@1967250s]

Magical! Love it.

[@Cinetyk]

I'm Portuguese, born in Portugal 1984. My dad played the guitar, so many portuguese songs and also of course the spanish masters of old - to my father just revered as masters absolutely ever no question about it. For my life, like 20y after I find this "Alexandra" girl on YT and start hear her playing and I'm like - this sound is my life. You convey all the history, all the feelings, this is just gold platinum standard playing. And she's not Portuguese or Spanish yet the feeling is there. How is it possible? I'm just happy it is

[@olegpashevich7883]

[@mikelnavarro69]

Thank you very much Alexandra!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Outstanding!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍

[@mekydro]

Wow! Exquisite playing and great music.

[@bryanwhitehouse4141]

I have so much admiration for her abilities.

[@sam8290]

Captivating...

[@rrubio44]

What a wonderful tone and beautiful control.. I really admire an artist who is able to make the melody stand out a little more yet let the accompaniment be heard clearly as well 🎶🤔😟😢👏🏼

[@jaimetrejo1722]

Nice interpretation of New Order - Elegia

[@ubifidessemperspes]

Thank you, Alexandra, for another wonderful performance. I would love to attend a live performance when you tour the US.

[@Francisco-lg2dd]

Do you know the name of the 2nd piece?

[@jgspitler1]

Alexandra, if I had known you were going to be here for SXSW I would gotten tickets. Love your vlog, and performance videos. My wife and I just saw Ana Vidovic, a few weeks ago. She put on a great show as well. Please come again to Texas!

[@MrDwanehoward]

Very good.

[@PedroGarcia-bd1dc]

Muy bonito suena muy bien recuerdos de la alhambra

[@fredericinterpaul1801]

Génial et simplement merveilleux Merci! ☺️🥳

[@ahmetrk123]

🙏

[@JoeKool5738]

Some parts were gorgeous. Emotional! Loved the 2nd piece a lot. Keep playing Alexandra, you have raw talent that cannot be taught!❤😎

[@robertritchie2860]

Raw talent? Add to that many many thousands of hours practice and and unwaiving dedication to the art form.

[@davidcook3795]

You looked about like I do when I make mistakes. It is kind of nice to see professionals make mistakes too. My mind blanked once while playing Recuerdos when I got to the repeat minor section. Briefly paused then had to skip to major.

[@martineduardofirpo2518]

Wulfrache, Alejandra es de las mejores, su comentario es desfortunado. Respete el talento de esta gran guitarrista

[@carlosdemiguel5228]

Hola .....lo mejor tu empeño en darlo

[@carlosfriass923]

Excelente interpretación. Bravo!!!

[@Francisco-lg2dd]

Do you know the name of the 2nd piece?

[@ThisGuyRocksLikeCrazy]

Great performance as usual. I wonder what it feels to perform in front of a larger crowd that are not used to classical guitar performances compared to playing in front of a smaller crowd who are all classical guitar enthusiasts?

[@christopherstanford5599]

🎶🤗🌹♥️

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]

I just Learned about SXSW while Searching IMDb. Is there a Tubing Festival for Tubers like me? If Not I'll head it.

[@stantonh1452]

What’s the name of that 2nd piece?

[@gtrmusic69]

Congrats on your new guitar. I personally liked the Dean more. But we're all different that way...lol

[@pavlebn]

She actually borrowed this one from a friend because she didn't want to travel overseas with the instrument.

[@СтаниславВолков-щ2л]

Скажите пожалуйста, как называется второе произведение и кто автор? Я не понимаю устную английскую речь.

[@TheMaecki]

Mmmmm...The second piece..

[@tatatamaya54000]

This song is vary difficult

[@user-vxymoqm]

べートーべンのソナタ ありがとう！ puより

[@micktulk]

Challenging acoustics but great performance.

[@lucasmahe9606]

Hi guys, I really need to know the name of the second performance. I love it so much!

[@ARTISTSAND]

It’s an arrangement of Elegia by New Order we commissioned for this performance

[@lucasmahe9606]

@@ARTISTSAND where could i find the sheet of this piece?

[@Bubulles1977]

Il faut aimer ce genre de musique mais quand on connaît les capacités de cet instrument on peut être un peu dessus quand même.

[@michaelbishop.]

I agree, this is appalling travis picking, but as serious classical playing , whilst carrying an injury, few are capable of such mastery.

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

@Michael Bishop What injury is that?

[@michaelbishop.]

@@kathyhollenbach7413 Tendonitis? Who could resist trying 31 different guitars?

[@user-vxymoqm]

ごめんなさい。 違う。私の知らない作曲家でした。🤔

[@wulfrache]

just sounds like someone practicing travis picking, but badly

[@c.a.t.732]

When I read your comments, what I'm actually hearing is "Women with talent I could never dream of achieving scare and anger me."

[@wulfrache]

@@c.a.t.732 I was better then this when i was a child

[@c.a.t.732]

@@wulfrache Everything you say makes you sound like you're still a child.

[@Thefare1234]

She is a good guitarist overall but her tremolo technique is weak. What I have realized is that for the most part guitarists who don’t relax their wrists (most modern guitarists) have problems with tremolo as their fingers are not efficiently aligned on one string unless they have small hands like Jennifer Kim.

[@Francisco-lg2dd]

@@Thefare1234 I’m waiting for your tremolo technique video to come out

[@wulfrache]

Seriously? She needs to work on her articulation this is amatuer at best

[@c4arschfisch51]

where are your recordings? You full professional braggart
