Mr Acker, I stumbled upon this video 16 months ago which, at 70 years old, inspired me to learn acoustic guitar. I had no previous experience of any musical instrument whatsoever, but I thought "wouldn't it be amazing to play like that". I've now had 16 months of weekly live lessons of 1 hour from a fantastic tutor. I've learnt music theory and I'm well on my way to playing jazz, and I love it! I know the years may catch up with me before I'm any good at Spanish guitar, but at least I have a new goal in life. A huge thank you Brandon 🤗🇬🇧

This piece is a relatively modern piece, believed to have been composed in 1896. No, it is not medieval, but it predates vinyl records, radio music broadcasts, and television... which is why it would be so impactful for a listener. @@Zepego-jk2iz

I played this for my guitar recital to graduate as part of my repertoire. This was the only piece I felt a close connection with simply because of how beautifully it was composed. To me, the transitions from minor to major throughout the piece portrays the ups and downs in life with the tremolo being the constant and continuous breaths that we take. And last but not the least, the piece ends on a "major key"(positivity prevails) . Tarrega was a Legend.

Just WOW ... four reasons: one: here, you prove your advice on an even tremolo. Two: you overcome the fretboard to produce an always legato, easily separated, melody line in both voices; three--What flow! ... no discernible position sound breaks! Three: the thumb/bass line stands so clear. And four: the treble then becomes so easy to listen to, separately and harmonically. Okay, and five: your (if-I-dare) rubato endows greatness to the piece that I've always hoped for. WOW, bravo! . . . .

The way that Spaniards play the guitar is unique, for the simple fact that they don't play the guitar with their hands, they play it with their heart, and when one begins to learn to play the Spanish guitar, it is understood. You not only have to learn to touch it, but to understand it as if it were part of your body. A great greeting from a Spaniard, a very good video with a lot of passion !!

[@acool6401]

I attended a boarding school for gifted kids in my youth and my roommate was a musical prodigy that knew all these beautiful classical pieces and always seem to win all the school talent competitions. He practiced every day and so he inspired me to get my first guitar and learn. He was only 14 years old but was willing to teach me. I played until my fingers bled and I eventually developed the callouses like him. He taught my fist piece (Bouree In E Minor by Bach), I eventually went on to learn “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” when I fell in love with the piece on the very first listen. Such a haunting but beautiful melody, a moderately difficult piece due to the tremolo technique but I persisted and developed the intuition and rhythm 🎵 for it. Well that was over 40 years ago and I don’t play as much these days but I still know this piece today by heart and never lost my fascination with it.

I have listened to different versions, but I still think this is the most beautiful version

Brandon, I listen to this everyday. It has something that words simply cannot put. Thank you for playing this!

This is one of the most beautiful guitar pieces I listened in my life.

The tremolo is perfectly fluid. Gorgeous, Brandon!

Way to go Brandon. Imagine sitting in your hillside villa and writing this breathtakingly beautiful piece. Wow! Probably the last thing he ever wrote. How could you do better?
