Manus. I've played Classical Guitar for 45 years and you are clearly among the best and most accomplished guitarists of your generation. How TF do you only have a 1,000 subscribers? Your technique amazes me. Just when I thought I'd learned a thing or two in my nearly half century of study. You younger people take the envelope and stretch it beyond my horizon. I have slight envy, but then again, it is the duty of the young to go places the elders can only dream about. Have yourself an exceptional life and thank you for your dedication and ability

Hi Michael! Haha, that's very kind of you to say. I suppose I'm not very good at playing the 'online game' - I don't upload videos of the most famous pieces, or the most widely searched on search engines, and I never used to upload regularly. Hopefully these weekly videos will help a bit! I guess I'm not the best at forcing myself to network either! Glad you enjoy my playing though, that's nice to hear.

@@ManusNoble1988 You're welcome sir. I'll be looking very much to more examples of your talent. I also discovered Gary Ryan around the time I stumbled upon your channel. Yet another amazing musician with 1k subscribers. You both seem connected so could you kindly give him a kick up the rear cos we'd love to hear more of his work. I hope to make the journey from Australia next year and see you guys live Have a great life mate

Damn, was that a cheeky squirt of Creggan White Hare at 9:40 there? Absolutely adore that tune.

[@ManusNoble1988]

Yep, I'm gonna sing it next month haha it's my favourite too!

Hi Manus, what music stand is in your studio? Looks really nice and a great height.

[@ManusNoble1988]

It's a RAT Jazz stand, they're amazing! Can go super low or super high, really sturdy and look very professional if you need to use them in public.

@@ManusNoble1988 Thank you! Also, really nice handpan playing. Congrats on the studio!

[@ManusNoble1988]

@@izzyfreaky thanks! I'm ending up selling the Indian scale one. Shame as it's so nice, just not quite for me!

[@hughjosephfeely]

Hey Manus, just wondering where you got the shruti box, did you buy it online? I’m looking to get one to accompany the bouzouki too, also what tuning is yours in? I know they come in male and female

[@ManusNoble1988]

Hey Hugh! I got mine from Shruti Box UK, handmade by Stefan there. I went for the M3 C box with their footpedal. www.shrutibox.co.uk/m2/
