Jose Luis Merlin performs his "Dream of Horses"

Jose Luis performs for the SF Guitar Society. This is his own composition.

[@joseluismerlin]

At that concert I played with my favorite guitar. It is made by Melchor Rodriguez and this model is called "Merlin" because it has the sound that I asked him to have.

[@brookcrenwick]

I have just discovered Jose Luis Merlin and I am hoping that I can learn his compositions and so far it seems feasible that I can learn and at the same time I can feed my soul.

[@bluesswice1981]

Jose Luis Merlin is a personal friend of mine and all of my family.. I studied under him extensively starting ten years ago and have learned many of his compositions. He is a beautiful man and his music is absolutely tremendous. For those of you just learning about his music you are stumbling onto a true treasure of a man, composer, and performer. Can't wait to meet up with you again soon Jose Luis. God bless, Chris Swicegood

[@heatherbaker3534]

very cool Chris!

[@psychesonic1]

Wonderful to finally see one of my favourite composers for guitar.

[@keiloneg.7284]

He just seems so cool

[@alinagrunina]

Very elegant performance. Every piece of Jose Luis Merlin is a discovery.

[@JeffreyGoodmanMusic]

This is a special and lovely composition that breathes with the beauty of the tradition of Tarrega and other great masters of the guitar.

[@QGfk1]

I never cared for flamenco guitarists until I discovered Merlín. He may have a flamenco style, but his music is very much in the great tradition of early 20th century Segovian art-music. The more modern influences only serve to make his pieces and his style more unique.

[@rajonetwo4254]

His music is very romantic and sentimental Many guitarists today but a few who can compose and play them beautifully

[@joseluismerlin]

Buenos días worldchangeeeeeeer : En ese concierto yo toque´con mi guitarra preferida. Está hecha por el Melchor Rodriguez y este modelo se llama "Merlin" porque tiene el sonido que yo le pedí que tenga.

[@Yuriy21]

This music speaks, that it was written by the fine person!

[@freddymusicien7656]

Two magnificent souls, the guitar & you; a perfect mariage

[@Zanthxs]

Gorgeous... absolutely gorgeous...

[@ShambhalaVillage]

After consideration of so many other artists and pieces I keep coming back to this piece as the one I want to learn next. It expresses that dreamy mystery, depth and emotion of Evocacion but takes you to even more places that are textured with life and feeling. Like a long journey back through the wilderness, after realizing you never really wanted to leave. Much Gratitude for this.

[@reginaldmolethrasher437]

What kind of FUCKING WEIRDO gives this a thumbs-down!?? This is sheer, unutterable beauty. If you're not struck dumb by this man's artistry, you're not human.

[@Donwitter1]

Merlin has it all together-brilliant technique,massive musicianship and note articulation that is so beautiful.He has been here in New York a couple of times but I missed him since I had gigs at the same evenings.He should be better known .His Suite de Recuerdos is a juicy piece of work that is his most well known work.I just love this and his other videos as he demonstrates how to perform superb works of Latin American Origin. I hope to see more videos of this great artist!

Preciosa la obra y la interpretación, como hace que fluya la música.

Encantame este sonido és una obra prima, muchas gracias. De Brasil.

[@Heybat]

Great composer!!!!!

[@spadalino]

I've heard only a few of Merlin's compositions, but I love every one of them! It's a shame he's largely overshadowed by other players/composers in the US.

[@mariaeugenia.9128]

Wow, he musta loved horses in an erotic way! How many women have been serenaded with music that beautiful through out history? Not many i'd say.

[@DenizCKeskin]

Its simply wonderfull! And it seems that you love Tarrega :) , Because the song has some similarities in some of his pieces.. It sounds great.

[@nkoshkin]

it sounds so familiar... I guess I heard similar music many times...

[@joseluismerlin]

Mr Nikita: Thanks for your opinion...

[@nkoshkin]

Dear Jose, you are welcome :))

[@crosbat]

[@brucegelman5582]

Good ear.

[@BTB25647]

Well done man....indeed it is .

[@worldchangeeeeeeer]

Alguien sabe qué guitarra usa? Does anybody know anything about the model or builder of the guitar?

[@niritgolan57]

where can i find the notes of this beutiful piece

[@zarapico]

Forgive me, but that's nowhere near a flamenco guitarist. Pure classical and latin style there

[@afterlate8866]

Can't he be given a chair that doesn't creak!
