[@morotivera8948]

Agustín Barrios el genio de la guitarra el paraguayo que transmitió el alma guaraní en sus composiciones y trascendió al mundo que hoy valora una música única e incomparable

[@Aristotles.daughter]

I used to perform it when I was 12.... I was a talent as people used say. Then stopped my lessons, gave up and never follow my dream as I had problem with my left hand because of overstrain. I was too young and stress my hands, made extrusions. Now, 40 years later every time I come face to face with grand tremolo I cry...

[@ChrisM541]

That's a shame. Are you able to play to any level, even for yourself, without discomfort? Even 'keeping your hand in' is good for the soul, heck, 3 chords and you've got Status Quo :)

[@Aristotles.daughter]

@@ChrisM541 unfortunately after a few minutes of playing there is pain and have to be patient for a couple of weeks till pain disappear...Too pity! But I still have a great voice, am a contralto super bass woman and I can sing!

[@octo9897]

i felt you 😢

[@josephhenry4725]

Listen ..I am 73 trigger finger and arthritis in my left hand ...still keep playing ..get arounds ...been playing forever ..play it from the heart..it will come through.

[@kikemartino4573]

Everything composed by Barrios is awesome. Mr. Russell you're a MAESTRO!

[@tiiuk]

Barrios played by David Russell, it doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!!

[@peterkoska5213]

His tremolo is incredibly smooth. Very edifying rendition

[@roseanmary]

Totally agree. Rusell's tremolo is the second best in the world. The best is Pepe Romero's (in old recording).

[@sennuraskoglu]

💯💯💯

[@newislandguitar]

..this is Gorgeous...there should be no "dislikes" from capable musicians.

[@donevans1892]

Don't worry there's not.

[@davidjaggs]

I can't really understand the dislikes.....what is it they would change????

[@jonathansera6134]

haha this comment aged well

[@francoisona]

David, your tremolo is exquisite. No one's compares to it not even John Williams'. Thank you for existing.

[@rdv8216]

Playing well is all about being relaxed and keeping it simple. Thank you, David.

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

Keeping it simple? lol.

[@mralowen]

That’s why I love playing classical. Because to do it well you have to empty everything else in your mind

[@netcoms197]

i play best when im thinking about something else lol

[@goterfortress1]

@@amigosXcorrespondenc I believe he meant that he doesn't do like any unnecessary hand moves or weird faces when he's playing. In a sense, Russell is a very straight forward musician, he only sits down and plays, and he does it flawlessly. That's just my opinion though :)

[@dany695]

Eso es tocar con el Alma y no con los dedos!!! Enhorabuena David...eres un maestro...

[@angelocatania4772]

E va bè, Russell è sempre Russell. Non si smentisce mai. Eccezionale esecuzione ed interpretazione di questo pezzo DAVVERO DIFFICILE. Grazie per il post.

[@nathanandrew2719]

this was absolutely breathtaking. bravo. I'm not even a guitarist, I'm a classical pianist and this song which was a random click makes me want to learn classical guitar. So beautiful thank you

[@philiphaycock3845]

There's always that one guy that coughs.. is it the same guy at every performance?

[@muhammadhangtuah9746]

Philip Haycock lol

[@adenindra2506]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Rival classical guitarist's employ them, to try to spoil the performance in some way.

[@hngi26]

It’s the famous “Carnegie Cough” which will never go away, no many how many cough drops you take to the concert hall.😂 I know that since I’ve been attending every international series and American series..😊

[@ramyjanygorbil692]

Bravo David ! ACM thanks for posting this gem!!

Smoothest tremolo you'll hear anywhere. Bravo.

[@Saitenfee]

I have to keep hearing it, it's so beautiful!!

[@christopherperez7847]

Barrios was one of the few ever who really understood Tarrega! I love him for that!!!!

[@nadiacardozo2947]

This is barrios though

[@billpierce5365]

What a wonderful musician David is.... He help make classical guitar survive and thrive!!!!

[@dmitryzarubin9934]

Excellent tremolo technique. This is especially important in this production, which many on KZbin play randomly. Yours is very good and sounds great.

[@GrzegorzNowacki]

*The most beautiful selective tremolo technique with wonderful sound precision* *David Russell is brilliant* ツ ♪ ♩ ♫

[@isaiasanjosviolao8185]

I would agree...sorrowful and absolutly beautiful

[@enriquebetancourtescalona3634]

Hermosa!!! Excelente interpretación gracias!!

[@mesutkeskek6458]

i am wondering that which kind of 26 people doesnt like this. Perfect tremolo perfect performance

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

mesut keşkek Without feeling it loses it's meaning, that is the secret to performing this well, otherwise it's just notes on a page.

[@ducnguyenminh3274]

Well I guess the 26 dislike this are NOT people...

[@JamesHLee-un8un]

Thank you for this awesome video! Huge fan of Mr. Russell! you're tempting me to become a guitarist. Thank you for your inspiration.

excellent~!...🦚

[@curaticac5391]

The name of this piece is "La Última Canción" or "Una limosna por el amor de Dios"; I don't know where this improvised "El Último Tremolo" name comes from... .

[@fleitasd]

The real name is "Una Limosna por el amor de Dios"

[@obserbador11]

Agustín Barrios le dio el honor a uno de sus discípulos pidiéndole que le nombrara la canción y, éste le llamo "El gran tremolo" (es una historia que sabemos muy bien los salvadoreños)

[@netcoms197]

we wont hear a "better" version than this recording, from anyone - it took me 10 minutes to think of what to comment lol

Luca Prospero that's the real title. while El Ultimo Tremolo means the last tremolo because this was the last tremolo piece that Barrios wrote

блин он круто тремоло играет. так ровно. как ниточка. рука вообще не шевелится...только пальцы...короче как моисей завещал.

[@lifenote1943]

steve jobs shredding it

[@lifenote1943]

lmfao I almost spit out my drink, completely forgot I wrote this

[@Jellysfrickingstuff]

The only thing that gives me trouble on this piece is playing the tremolo when your thumb comes up closer to the tremelo string and the transitions

[@jezzatakla]

It's absolutely excellent, however, I bet you can't play it really badly like I can.

[@mankillsquare]

Well I mean, I could play like this if I had this guy's curved wall :S

[@shadowgold1]

me encanta como toca pero no me gusta como interpreta.

[@fennelleastman8816]

disappointing

[@bdn-135]

David's slow tempo in the first two bars violates music theory, and the overall standard tempo should be balanced (Williams played very accurately) - this is the basic framework of the whole song. Inconsistent rhythm disturbs the soul...
