Bonjour cher compatriote ! 😊 Avez vous vu la vidéo de Brandon au musée de la musique de la porte de Pantin ? Ça m 'a fait plaisir de voir ça. Ce musée est super ,ça m 'a rappelé des beaux souvenirs

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

[@peterprince2304]

[@dianawhatley7369]

That was completely beautiful!

[@virginielafrench3921]

Oh yeah ! Beautiful ! And i prefered the ancient guitar . It sounds smoother to me .

[@researchcooperative]

I wish we could clap with sound, scrape our chairs, and smother a cough or two to make your audience more real! Thanks for the show.

[@LiqmcD]

That chromatic run in caprice arabe was magical Brandon. Ty.

[@virginielafrench3921]

Oh got it ! Ty is for thank you ,not your name . Right ?

A string artis 🎸 gracias my friend.

[@Ghjiijbv]

you are such a talented dude, this quick strumming motion sounds soo bad on my nylon guitar, I think you got an video about it, how is it called?

[@brandonacker]

Thanks! It's a repicco. I teach it in my video called the "coolest strum pattern"

[@bernie.guitar]

Who did you study with?

[@brandonacker]

Xavier Diaz Latorre is my current teacher. Before Mark Maxwell and Anne Waller. :)

[@bernie.guitar]

Awesome 🎉

[@bernie.guitar]

I studied at University of Miami with Rene Gonzalez and with Ana María Rosado at NJCU

[@bernie.guitar]

I think you’re the gold standard for online guitar knowledge

[@Circinus.]

Hey Brandon am just 15 trying to go into classical music .I've been playing guitar since last 6 years i really wanna improve myself can you please give me some advice

[@brandonacker]

Yes, find a very good teacher. This is the best thing you can do for yourself. You can take my online courses at classicalguitar-pro.com/ and then try lessons with one of my teachers at Arpeggiato.com if you don't have a great teacher yet. Practice as much as you can but make sure it's good quality practice and not just performing your pieces hundreds of times. Practice makes permanent! Lastly, focus on telling a story with your music. Moving the listener is the ultimate goal. So exaggerate the expressivity of the piece so that it is moving, clear, and beautiful always :) I'm wishing you the best on your journey! Brandon

[@virginielafrench3921]

​@@brandonacker perfect answer ! And it applies to any instrument i guess ( well ,maybe less for rythmical ones ) . I asked the same to Harry Connick jr years ago on his website when i started the piano and his answer was similar to the one you gave this subscriber . Great !

[@virginielafrench3921]

Brandon, can you play other instruments ? If so ,which one(s) ?

[@brandonacker]

Just plucked instruments that you see on my channel. I can sing a little and used to play drums

[@virginielafrench3921]

Could we have the pleasure to hear you on the drums too one day ? Please do it !

[@princeicio]

Can you play 5th Caprice by Paganini?

[@virginielafrench3921]

Are some of these arias from you ,Brandon ? If so ,did you compose them before playing or do you improvise ? Either way , beautiful playing ! Very soothing ! Bravo

[@brandonacker]

Thanks I improvised on preexisting pieces:)

[@virginielafrench3921]

​@@brandonacker ok . Merci pour ta réponse. Theorbo player Christina Pluhar sometimes does the same . She is amazing. You should listen to her if you don 't know her already !!! I bet you will like !!! 👍

[@jhchg]

👍

[@kingbobbie1915]

I can't believe I missed the stream, damn you KZbin!!!

[@brandonacker]

Next time! I'll do more. This was really fun. Thanks for your enthusiasm 😊

[@virginielafrench3921]

I live on the other side of the world for you ,Americans . When it 's night time for you it 's daylight in France and vice versa . Difficult to get in touch LIVE

[@virginielafrench3921]

I feel frustrated i can 't applause ! 😞

[@Heo_Kyeon]

Am I the only one who doesn't match the sync between video and sound? Anyway, the performance is so good!

[@kristophersenne6103]

uh the video starts going rly out of sync at like 5 minutes in, and by the end theres like a 4 second out of sync delay

[@elmolewis9123]

I jumped in for the playing and thought the Wings of Pegasus channel would have a sequel. Thanks. My faith is restored!

[@kristophersenne6103]

@@elmolewis9123bot?

[@theoldgoat4525]

You play so nicely. Trim those strings or tucked them away. It just looks sloppy and lazy and distracting.

[@Yorkie285]

Your really not playing, it was taped and your faking it.

[@Erkynar]

Oh, shush and behave.
