4:42 Guitarist: absolutely killing this unplayable part creating a magic moment Guy in the audience: Prepares to let out the hardest and loudest cough known to men its like theyre not even try to do it quietly

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that well, on piano it is a very difficult work but I never thought that this piece by Chopin could be played on a simple guitar with just 6 strings versus 88 strings at the end of the piano (keys). Your performance is excellent, it is a true miracle! The best I've ever heard. Greetings from Houston, Texas. US

i mean you have 108 variations on guitar tho

Simply mesmerizing! The fidelity of the transcription is excellent not just in terms of the chords and notes, but also in capturing the character and soul of the piece. You often see transcriptions of Chopin's music based on a duet for piano and sustained instruments (violin, flute, ...), but this makes me feel that the beauty of Chopin's expression shines most in the percussive ones, where silence is allowed to interspace the progression. It sorts of create a very intimate atmosphere, appropriate to the solo and introspective nature of these pieces.

Espetacular

[@eenayeah]

Incredible!!!

[@box1702]

Qué logro poder llevar lo que fue compuesto para 88 teclas a 6 cuerdas. Notable y tocarlo con la mano izquierda porque la mano derecha, en cierto modo, se pierde en hacer sonar la guitarra.

What kind of guitars do you play?

[@philiphii]

I have two main guitars, a Chris Savino and a Robert Ruck.

[@gatlar28]

@philiphii Interesting! Are either of your guitars Cedar topped? What do you think of Cedar guitars? You are a great player! I bought 2 of your albums years ago! I especially love chromatic fantasy and fugue! Your speed is mind-blowing!

[@philiphii]

@@gatlar28 The Savino is spruce top and the Ruck cedar. I prefer spruce tops. Thanks for the kind words.
