You always make everything sound so beautiful 🤩🥰😍🤘😎👍😚

[@johnoneill919]

You play very beautifully Gretchen, always a pleasure to hear and see you.

[@dancampeau1963]

Amazing. First time seeing frets like that.

[@gretchenmenn]

Yeah, these True Temperament frets were new to me as well... Kenny Hill swears by them, and I can see why. They grew on me immediately.

[@frankmarotta1960]

One of my favorites as well. Quite moving. Thanks for sharing!

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank YOU for listening! 🙏

[@metalpunk9519]

[@user-RomYch978]

Cool, Grethen! Wishing you & Zepparella ladies whole lotta success fro Siberian Seversk city.

[@VAdu56]

Magnifique...!! c'est Là qu'on s'aperçoit que Bethoven était un compositeur hors pair, avec les autres Bach, Chopin, Shubert, Litz, Mozart...et les autres...Bravo Miss, c'est super bien joué...et ...quelle guitare...!! ;) :)

[@gretchenmenn]

Merci beaucoup! 🙏

[@Old_Man_Medina_Gaming]

Fantastic

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you so much 😀

[@eduardorocha2345]

Great Playing! and some flamenco/spanish song would be fun for us to watch and maybe nice to learn.

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you! There are some great Spanish ones for sure... flamenco is another discipline entirely (I took one lesson only to realize my classical background gave me almost no head start at all!), but I'll register your request for something Spanish. ☺️

[@MatthewMartinGuitar]

So good! Gretchen, you can play anything!

[@gretchenmenn]

You are very kind... Always working on everything, and never enough time! 😵‍💫🤣

[@jimthecraftyguitarist878]

Amazing

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you!

[@michaelcolsonmicolson]

Merci Gretchen pour ce passage de Beethoven à la guitare acoustique ! 🙂

[@gretchenmenn]

Merci a vous!

[@kenren110]

Gorgeous performance as always! I'm a little worried about your luthier though...the neck is pitched way forward and the frets are crooked! Kidding aside, who made that guitar? It fits you in several ways...and the intonation is very good. Thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@gretchenmenn]

Haha! This is Kenny Hill's personal guitar... just on loan for a bit, which is quite an honor. Thank you for listening!

[@user-wv4xc1us6u]

Oh Gretchen

[@gretchenmenn]

🤓🙏

[@user-wv4xc1us6u]

❤

[@snapfinger1]

Don’t you think Tarrega would’ve loved that guitar ?

[@gretchenmenn]

I can't imagine anyone not loving it! Any skepticism about the frets dissolves when you play it.

[@snapfinger1]

@@gretchenmenn speaking of dissolving watching you play. Your Most High Awesomeness.
