[@GERRYARQ]

Es excelente el maestro pepe, tuve la fortuna de oirlo en vivo en Paracho Michoacán, como el... ninguno. felicidades maestro, ojala vuelvas pronto por acá.

[@lordfary]

la guitarra es la voz de un pueblo un sentimiento es española , pero universal ,gracias maestros,por tocarlas y acariarlas, gracias por componer pra ellas

[@aaround]

Recuerdo esta cancion en el conservatorio de musica de Xalapa veracruz.. todos mis companeros de guitarra la tocaban... Exelente interpretacion.. Bravo

[@fernandan0]

He makes it look absolutely effortless - amazing! It really looks like he "feels" the music rather than "plays" it.

[@brianjacobi]

Wonderful performance. So calm, a true musician.Thanks so much for posting. Brian. NZ

[@cxhxexvxexrxe]

Iheard it at Mewdelin , my country in apresentation of Mr. Pepe Romero and all the public was captivated by the enormous abbilty and the joy He inspires in all of his performances.We are lloking forward to have him back as soon as possible.

[@LSDodgers]

I love this, it reminds me of my nonna. I was like maybe, in my young years 5-10 we would go and visit her in the old country.... Old school.

[@darkwingduck42]

I saw Pepe Romero in concert in Toronto playing "Concierto de Aranjuez" with an orchestra.... For TEN DOLLARS. That is insane! It was so beautiful! After the concert, he was signing autographs, and I took a picture with him! I wish for everyone to experience something that exciting in life...> Unforgettable.

[@MrJKTenor]

Just amazing playing! And such a nice man. I had the great pleasure of hanging out with Pepe and his whole extended family (Including the other 3 guitarists who make up Los Romeros) Everyone was so welcoming and open. Guess that is part of why all of their playing is so incredible!

[@Insanitypkz]

WOW! Amazing control of dynamics and tempo! Wonderfully played. This is the guitar song i want to learn to play the most, working my way up there ;D

[@treboryevrah]

I've had the opportunity to hear him play this in person...Amazing!

[@genitorey]

Quien conoce la Alhambra y se enamora en ella y de de enamora de ella y al escuchar un virtuoso y sus sentimientos ya no se puede llegar a más

[@blckcrss]

amazing how his tremelo is seemless between string changes, Ive got it down ok but this guy is amazing, I have been fortunate to have a good friend who knows Celino, a nephew of Pepe's, who was kind enough to show me a few pointers on how to play his song not only accurately , but with emotion and conviction as well!! Awesome video, one of my favorites

[@babeharrlson1191]

love this song so much ever since i got shivers from hearing it on the sopranos,

[@SuperCarver2011]

He plays this beautiful piece with flawles execution and such passion.

[@rosa3778]

Ole Francisco Tárrega y Ole Pepe Romero! Orgullo de España!!!

[@piscean60]

I have a soft spot for Pepe- I first heard spanish guitar with him playing, so for me, he's the "one" just gorgeous

[@julianmaccoy]

recuerdo cuando lo vi tocar en la universidad nacional en colombia majestuoso

[@jaxmikey59]

I saw Ana Vidovic perform this last night in Jacksonville FL and it was perfect!

[@Leongrimaldi]

All you who writng comments. you seem to be suprised over the skills. This guy is one of the worlds best classic guitarists. It aint that strange that he´s good or should i say god..!

[@ZegatonZ]

@TandBcomedycreators "Recuerdos de la Alhambra (translation: Memories of the Alhambra) is a classical guitar piece composed in 1896 by Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tárrega[1]. He wrote it in Granada. Additionally, Ruggiero Ricci created an arrangement of this piece for the violin."

[@coffeemachtspass]

Pepe Romero is my favorite interpreter of Recuerdos... ever since I first heard him on the St. Paul Sunday radio show. John Williams is good, too. Yepes and Segovia are terrible.

[@artielon]

As good as this piece is played "straight up", this "thinking man´s" interpretation lifts it up to a higher level - thrilling!

[@USoeyadi]

simply beautiful

[@areyesmares]

Maravillosa interpretación

[@reaperdeathgod1]

I agree with you on that, i've heard his wife play this (i'm her student, yay me!) and even though she's out of practice it still sounds wonderful. She taught me how to play this (duet version) and says that he plays this very, very, very quickly, normally played lasting over 5 min because lotta people can't play the full single version correctly without mistakes in less than five minutes or something like that.

[@rifebobo1524]

wow, this song sounds good, I like this song!

[@professormueller]

Einzigartig - ganz große gefühlvolle Gitarrenmusik. Danke dafür !

[@CONTRAPUNTOS]

The sound is pianissimo, but the soul is present!

[@freerunnerJ]

When I first heard this track I thought it was two instruments playing. Simply Amazing.

[@cacciato69]

one of my great losses was a recording of the Four Romero's in 1969 ... somehow lost in shipment home from Vietnam ...

[@darkpdragon]

the fingering style is called tremolo, i have to agree this is probably the hardest style of playing style in classic guitar, especially to make it sound so natural where it sounds like there are 2 guitars being played

[@OFlute96O]

I just wanted to press louder, than I recognized, that I couldn't anymore! This is genious, to play it not loud, well it is for me, and I don't play the guitar so ^^

[@XXmonkiXX]

wow! reali nice!! perfect time, perfect hand position, realy nice!

[@berrolv]

He might be the best...very calme performance

[@aysunkahraman]

I like this performance :)

[@xapirol]

@hephyk es hijo de un compositor y guitarrista Español llamado Celedonio Romero

[@garyblais8602]

Superb .

[@tuxedomoon]

Does anyone know what guitar Pepe uses here?

[@cesarvegamx]

En mi opinion, el tremolo más limpio es el de John Williams, pero la mejor interpretación de Recuerdos de la Alhambra, sí es la de Pepe Romero.

[@byhammerandhand]

Bravo!

[@artielon]

With Memories

[@elverdaderosol]

Así se hace!!!!!

[@howtocall]

Because this playing has its own soul

[@anleet]

That's crazy. The day I can play tremolos like this... eh... will probably never come.

[@shuaigui7681]

great

[@eruseron]

alguien me puede confirmar si esta forma de tocar se llama bien "razuelo".

[@inwonderwoman]

My dream neighbor!!!

[@5amuu]

yeah even people like paco de lucia and vicente amigo use mics live, although they're really loud without them.

[@tkelly411]

pepe and angel recorded this,,with 2 guitars,bee yeautiful

[@kuikoman]

Tienes un tanto de razon, son personas distintas. Saludos!

[@musictranscription]

Do you want me to transcribe it?

[@musictranscription]

I love to transcribe music

[@Liebrerson1465]

Este esde los tremolos mas limpios que he escuchado, incluso me atrevo a decir que es mejor que el de el maestro Juan Carlos laguna

[@danud321]

Please Check Yvonne Helkenberg! Am I the only one who thinks this lady tremolo is one of the best even comparing to all the maestros?

[@dom0tron]

Tremolo master

[@retremulo]

Executo recuerdos de la alhambra, e um dia humildemente pretendo chegar lá. youtube gilson vergara. Pepe Romero executa a peça com o coração.

[@bennyjazzful]

I AGREE 100%

[@sclogse1]

Lovely version of the theme to Terminator 4.

[@eriobotrya]

no, danud321, you are not alone. Pepe's version is one of the best, but I also agree that Yvonne Helkenberg has a brilliant tremolo technique. Just a shame about the quality of the video & sound on her posting though. And if you listen very carefully, she occasionally goes awry with the timing, whereas Pepe maintains a more consistent tempo throughout. Still, they both manage to avoid the infamous 'gallop', and if I could play it as well as either of them, I would be a very happy guitarist.

[@marchintherain]

この曲ずっとGuitar は2本で演奏していると思ってましたf^_^;

[@HitokiriDiaz]

@danud321 I agree!!

[@arfurlife]

you re right, God could never play this piece, its just too hard.

[@seebaastian]

@sarothra0906 Hey, He is a man not a Machine! If you want to comment, please write something useful and clever.

[@Bostero3771]

An incredible performance by the great Maestro Pepe Romero.... yet.... I still prefer the interpretation of Ana Vidovic. Both technically perfect but Ana's has a superior musicality.

[@LaMarAzura]

this video sound is not the way it should be. it sound as if it is comming from under the water. the clarity lacks. I have the old original cd and i know how it should sound.

[@TomorrowsChild77]

@Leongrimaldi I hate when people say a guitar player is God... it's stupid.

[@USoeyadi]

@mrboppman1 I never wrote that he messed up. Read again !!!!!

[@kuikoman]

esto si es tocar! no como santana y esos engreidos!

[@effeme]

3.10...it's just mmmm!!

[@xapirol]

Para mi la version de Recuerdos de la Alhambra mejor interpretada es la del guita rrista Narciso Yepes que está colgada en KZbin

[@mahdadzarafshan]

Sabicas was awesome too, technically without any peers, but he's dead unf.

[@arfurlife]

Ok, fair enough. maybe God could play it if he practised 8 hours a day with a metronome and invested in a really top teacher and gave the tzunamis and earthquakes a rest for a while.

[@austinjosephbw]

14 people must be deaf.

[@Hermeterec]

from Jose' Timo Sepulveda.....Pepe is far better than Segovia EVER was.....

[@ipoodaily]

keep your weird theories to yourself

[@TomorrowsChild77]

I said intelligent, not pseudo-clever.

[@kpexmex]

I think it's a good song altough I've heard better performances but romero is good

[@TomorrowsChild77]

Oh please, at least come up with something intelligent to say.....

[@gerundino98]

@dinulipatti1950 Yepes is better
