[@josdurkstraful]

Brandon, I love the soft musical touch in your playing, like a breath of fresh air in between all the shredding ;-)

[@daelinproudmore5068]

Your interpretation of capricho arabe is the best I've ever heard.

[@karapuzik_music3619]

Great performance! A real high-class concert! I listened with great pleasure!

Thank you for sharing!

[@polygraphovich]

Lovely, Brandon. Thanks for posting this.

[@pisanu6699]

It's so nice every time listening to the music you've played.

[@japonjuan5452]

I´ll never get tired of listening your capricho arabe interpretation, absolutely superb. In general all the pieces you play.

[@flyingshutters3438]

Superb. My favourites were the baroque pieces, but they were all incredible

[@stevepinnell453]

Beautfiul playing Brandan, nice to hear some Tarrega how it's supposed to be played after my attempts! Have been enjoying watching your video lessons for other people too, some much musicality... might go and torture my guitar later today! 🤣

[@tsparks4133]

1:41 Reminds me of that "Frog uh Went uh Courtin'" diddy that cowboy mouse was pickin' for Tom and Jerry. Every time there was a "TWAanng," Jerry lost a whisker.

[@virginielafrench3921]

I like it when you add a little rythm to your playing ! ❤❤❤

[@Roman_Evgenev]

Great'warm baroque + classic guitar performance 👏

[@jao2949]

Thanks

[@timmercier4986]

Thank you for giving us your God-given talents . Your interpretation of Francisco Tarrega's music is so great. Well done, Brandon .

[@neclark08]

Please, @timmercier... Don't diminish Brandon's Skills, Hard Work & Passion by attributing them to Super-Natural entities of any type.

[@neclark08]

...how much of the 'warmth' produced by your gut/nylon-strung modern guitar (the orientations of the tuning drums & -keys are my give-away) comes from the shaping & open sound hole of the body -- and how much from the materials of which the strings are made? I heard only the slightest 'squeaks' from the E, A & D strings -- meaning they are metal-wound nylon

[@maxlowson7711]

Wow this was a good time! Now i need one of these and find a way to keep my wife.

[@ivanliebgott2791]

[@gardengit]

Beautiful !! Would love to hear it without nails !!🍀 Thank you for the great music...

[@danielcornejo148]

I love your interpretation of capricho árabe, I got into classical guitar after hearing you play that song on the 275k guitar video, maybe is a streach but i would love to hear you play that song on an absolute beginner guitar i think it would make an awesome comparison video!!

[@brandonacker]

Thank you! Watch the last minutes of the following video to hear Capricho Arabe on a 200, 2000, 20,000, and 200,000 dollar guitar :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4G8aoCunJiCgLMsi=5ovylU8vNrT8b-6-

[@danikaiser6508]

Thanks for the stellar performance! My favorites were El Columpio and Capricho Arabe 👏 Do you ever perform concerts without nails?

[@brandonacker]

Thank you Dani! Yes I have played many concerts without nails and have many recordings here on KZbin without them. I'm using nails in this video though. I hope you're well! Brandon

[@danikaiser6508]

Wonderful, thank you! Keep making awesome content 🙌

[@jandenijs7337]

What is the second piece? Very nice.

[@brandonacker]

I just added the full program in the description:) Espanoletas by Gaspar Sanz

[@jandenijs7337]

@@brandonacker thank you so much!

[@kierongilfillan7783]

What company make your classical guitar gut strings

[@brandonacker]

Aquila for nylgut. Kurschner for real gut.

[@jayshepherdguitar]

Thinking about going the nailless route when I finish my doctorate… I play so much bass and electric guitar, but I still love the classical guitar, especially early music. Might reach out to you about some nice period instruments. The old lattice braces Lissarague doesn’t do that music justice like your axes!

[@virginielafrench3921]

SPECIAL REQUEST : BRANDON, PLAY THE BEAUTIFUL MEDIEVAL ARIA " DOUCE DAME JOLIE " SOMEDAY !!! PLEAAASE !

[@Remi-B-Goode]

26:52 🤙

[@edwardanderson3506]

Please forgive me if I'm mistaken. Was that a grimace at 4:30? You looked at the guitar as if it moved its fret on you. ;) In any event thanks for all the coaching (by example) you have done in several videos about handling pressure and mistakes. Oh, did you eat your banana? 😉

[@brandonacker]

haha no I didn't make a mistake. Just feeling the music :)

[@virginielafrench3921]

@@brandonacker even if you did ,it wouldn 't be the end of the world ,dear Brandon ! 😊 You 're human , we're humans . We can fail

[@crysipo]

I'm sorry you can't listen my applause! But I do!

Please tell us.....WHO MADE your Baroque Guitar?

[@brandonacker]

Julio Castonos in Malaga, Spain:)

Many thanks, Brandon, for your prompt response. I make, (and professionally play), my own lutes and guitars in England. A delightful recital. The nails sound good on the baroque guitar....they give it almost a harpsichord clarity and attack. Congratulations!@@brandonacker
