This is the most harmonically rich version of this song I've heard.

[@stevecantor]

I’ve known Peter since the 70s when I first moved to San Diego. He’s one of the best guitarists you’ll ever hear and a very nice guy as well.

[@twangbarfly]

Totally beautiful arrangement and playing - one of the best versions of this piece I've heard on guitar.... Or any instrument really. Thank you!!!

Hi Michele, that's so nice and thanks for listening!

[@beaumontmuni]

"Lyrics: V1: Sad is to live in solitude .. Far from your tranquil altitude, Sad is to know that you can never live on a dream, that never can be, will never be. Dreamer awake. Wake up and see ... V2:. Your beauty is as aeroplane, So high my heart can't bear the strain, A heart that stops when you pass by, only to cause me pain, Sad is to live in solitude. " .Thanks Peter for sharing. Jobim's greatness is indelible.

[@1flat5th]

I'll probably need a life time to understand how to build such rich harmonic improvisation.

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

Thanks for listening and Yep it's taken me a long life to learn all those harmonic moves.

[@eduardoverdeja9596]

Incredible phrasing and amazing chordal knowledge. Beautiful!!

[@javilalima]

BRILLIANT! Loved it. What guitar is that that you're playing?

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

Heya, thanks for listening and that guitar is one made for me by Yuris Zeltins and the Blue Guitar in San Diego. I've had it for almost 30 years! Also, If you want to learn how to play this arrangement follow this link to Open Studio Network: www.openstudionetwork.com/pro...

[@enaremco]

Tom would have loved this version.

[@barakados]

Mr Sprague, since I discover you I don't stop listen you. The way you arrange songs and the sensibility that you treat strings mesmerize me. And as I tell you before is th best nylon sound I ever heard, included Pat sound, as you play with your fingers. If you were so kind I'd like to ask you something. I've already seen the video of your guitars and gear. I wanted to know with percentage of your line sound you mix with your mics sound, do you do it in both channel? And how much relevance has the reverb in you sound. Because even with different guitars you archive similar results, and always sound like heaven. I'd like to emulate you with my poor man gear. thanks in advance

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

Thanks and yes, mostly all mic sound with just a little D.I. sound. Mics rule! Effects on the guitar is reverb medium hall, a little delay about 400 ms, and some chorus. That's the secret mix, HAH! all best, P

[@barakados]

@@PeterSpragueMusic ey! Thanks for that treasure! I wasn't so far, I was trying with 375 ms delay after the hall reverb, but only in line no in the mics. Keep giving us your soul on every tune. 🙏

[@carlosmarques9938]

Tá incorporado! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
