MARAVILLOSO A mis 70 años, primera vez que me hacen llorar con una grabación. Es que realmente MARAVILLOSO. Espero tener la oportunidad de llegar a tocarla parecida. TODA una inspiración. Desde Santiago de Chile

It just so happens that whilst listening to this in the still of the night, a soft drizzle played its own pensive tremolo on the autumn leaves outside. This moment will inspire me for many years to come. Thank you.

Dear Friends and guitar lovers. I have been holding off on commenting on the many dislikes because the reason for them is quite surreal. I investigated how could this be, that in 24 hours, at some point last year, I got tons of thumbs down. It turns out that there was some kind of unexplainable glitch; It seems that 94% of the thumbs down came from………. you ready for this……. BANGLADESH….. I know, strange…..:) what have I ever done to them, I thought. So, as to be expected, Some people gave me a sincere thumbs down, that's fine, but not this massive amount from one country that is not knows for being a classical guitar metropolis. I have said nothing, because It always seemed undignified to respond to criticism in a public way. I figured I would "break" that rule since we do live a world of ever closer communication. Thank you all for your support and comments. Cheers.

[@jennydanza3974]

Adam del Monte Frankly it's a sham... I don't think those thumbs down could possibly be independent people disliking what you do. I personally love your playing and have kept coming back to these videos for a year or so, the best renditions I've heard (my preference) and I've tried to copy your style when I play these songs, you're my inspiration.

[@omarmachismo97]

Adam del Monte hey man I'm from Bangladesh,this video is brilliant maybe play some Piazzolla? im sure the dislike issue was a glitch or something lol

[@BarriosGroupie]

Adam del Monte Sounds almost perfect to me, but could do with a little variation in the sound level on the tremolo as emphasised in the original piece.

[@drakestraw]

Adam del Monte It wasn't perfect. If the people who listened were mainly classical guitarists, that would explain the thumbs down. It's a difficult piece, sustaining that tremolo for such a long stretch.

[@aadigard85]

+Adam del Monte : Why the fuck bengladesh could have anything personal against you ? by the way, how can you know the down votes are from that country ?

[@rosalbarodriguezsoto9238]

Preciosa interpretación de una obra magistral del arte guitarrístico.

[@devillsimagination1049]

You are one of the greatest player I have ever seen in my life....A lettle respect from India....Sir..take care

[@sergius28]

[@dinodba7378]

Beautifull spanish piece for guitar by Maestro Francisco Tárrega, excellent performance !!

[@brahim119]

What an amazing virtuosity of Mr. Del Monte, everything is perfect in this performance, a millions *BRAVOS* to you and respect for the great artist. *BEAUTIFUL* work.

[@ferpirata76]

Spain gave to the world two of the greatest guitar geniuses that ever lived: Francisco Tarrega and Paco de Lucia. Thanks Adam for this beautiful interpretation

[@rubenarteaga4484]

Very fluid tremolo with a ton of emotion. Love it!!!! Well done sir.

[@JGULLIF]

This is why I play guitar, period.

[@dododudo1]

You are playing extraordinary!

[@peymanghahremani7721]

[@kofler100]

I can't imagine it played any better. fantastic!!!

[@juliorodriguez9685]

Excellent interpretation very smooth he brings out the sentiment of the composition

[@philipgrier9376]

sublime paying of a sublime piece of music. Thank you.

[@demymortelliti]

Beatiful maestro Adam ! Love your cross classical/flamenco approach, one thing I was searching for a long time… usually two almost completely distinct worlds, but you are the prove that it is possible ! Thanks for sharing 👍🙏

[@arasizadeen]

So Beautiful

[@gabrielkrenz]

Adam, la ejecución es impecable.

[@normantong3475]

One of the best I should say

[@joelbrown9086]

Hi Adam - I am an intermediate guitar player and mostly play Flamenco and been listening to your great flamenco playing and stumbled onto this. My teacher has me practicing Recuerdos to improve my tremolo and it has come a long way. When I looked for examples to follow I found great players like John Williams and Kim Chung, but this is every bit as good as them if not better and will use it in my practice. I will definitely be coming to your show in San Diego this August.

[@zenbubu]

Beautiful!

[@edloti]

Very beautiful! I enjoy this so much

[@calsino9543]

Beautiful, thumbs up for sure!!!

[@jmcnicoll1137]

Not sure why it was voted down. Great filming! Well played and recorded. Thanks for the music.

[@javiercedemora]

gracias amigo me encanta

[@marceloc1810]

Hola Adam! Soy guitarrista hace 53 años que toco. Estudié con grandes maestros y al menos desarrollé un buen oído. Tu interpretación me parece excelente. Haces bien en denunciar lo que pareció ser un juego malintencionado. Te felicito y agradezco que hayas subido este hermoso trabajo.

[@Astro90909]

My dear friend Adam... one of the best!!!

[@dododudo1]

Capricho Arabe olso. Thank god for people like you.

[@calderonperu]

Excelente... saludos desde Perú...

[@pintorezco9]

Eres un genio !!!!

[@ravoraveloson2134]

Thank you Sir Gracias

[@cynthianavarro4316]

I agree! He just kept that legato line moving all liquid-like and added the feeling effortlessly with just the right touch!

[@dengtrmstr]

Lovely, please keep them coming!

[@zyngary71]

wonderful!!! thanks!!!

[@Skankhair333]

Beautiful. Very even tremolo, fantastic tone on the thumb melody, and nice expression and dynamics in all aspects. Del Monte's Recuerdos is one of my favorites; up there with Pepe Romero and Ana Vidovic.

[@otono77]

Amazing performance of all plays, it's just brilliant!!! Why so long no new videos? Hello from Russia!

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

otono77 Soon, my friend. I am preparing a flamenco video series.

[@arslanbutt273]

Always ❤️

[@sergius28]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@minniegoddess]

I've heard this wonderful piece played by many but this version takes the cake, if I may put it that way! The others don't even come close. Beautiful... so poignant and hypnotic.

[@jonravenwulf7788]

Very good by the way am thinking of learning this just for what might come out of it.

[@arfurlife]

A most superb version and very nice video too. Truly wonderful playing. You can definitely count me in as a new fan. Its such a hard piece to play at this level. Great tone, even-ness and interpretation ...I am green with envy lol.

[@paradigm759]

amazing!

[@aveilchng]

AWESOME

[@LafayetteLeSaint]

It is a real shame how some jerks abuse technology to abuse people who are striving to produce something positive and beautiful. Your artistry is very good. You do not need to take a backseat. Dios bendega mi amigo.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Gracias amigo. I appreciate the support.

[@natalialyon3636]

Adam, muy bello todo. No te creas de los comentarios negativos, son de gente envidiosa que ni tan siquiera pueden tocar on radio!!!

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Gracias compadre¡

[@rickandrew6397]

Adam, should be no down votes, only ups or no comment, finely performed 👏👏👏👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

thank you......one day I may get around to it.......too busy composing now.......:)

[@peymanghahremani7721]

great performance. I actually have improved my tremolo by instructions given in your videos. I will upload my own play of Recuerdos De la Alhambra possibly soon.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Thank you kindly. I'm glad your tremolo has improved. Best of luck!!

[@sergius28]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@brunocastag]

Very nice!!!

[@zakaryaeboudi]

great

[@johnnygodel7531]

Maestro Del Monte, could you do a version with the flamenco tremolo? Thanks in advance.

[@astrofacil2218]

Would be great to hear a flamenco tremolo version of this song

[@johnnygodel7531]

Great. His tremolo improves as the piece develops.

[@jimmyalvarez3427]

hi adam u are a fabulous guitar player first of all if u could send me the version that u play and second could u tell me how long u have been playing

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Thanks for your comment. This is the standard Segovia version I suppose. Been ply for a long time....:)

[@metrocomputerworks]

strong, machine-gun tremelo. rushing back to your tremelo video

[@idanmashta]

Hey Adam wanted to ask if you can play a cover for "Morente" by vicente amigo i think it will be interested!

[@franknelson2235]

hi adam can i have a tab for this song you are an amazing teacher and performer you rock

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

I don't know where to find tabs for this. Sorry

[@gigimc]

hey Adam, I was looking for a song you did for the Flamenco Windham Hill compilation-- 'Night in Marrakesh'/ have you ever uploaded that one?

[@mechamusotto]

gigimc Hi there, Yeah, I remember recording that one many years ago but I never uploaded it anywhere. It’s just a CD recording the video.

[@gigimc]

gotcha... I found a playlist on here that had almost every song from it but couldn't find that one ANYwhere... it's not a bad little cd tho/ might get it! lol

[@snappydoodad]

Hope you don't mind my asking - could you tell us about your guitar?

[@mariopage1541]

M Delmonte, please forget about the stupid bad commentaries of Bangladesh people. Ypur playing is absolutely amazing either in classical or flamenco. You are a truly great player and we are all looking forward for your nest recording in performance serie.

[@sergius28]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JoeAse]

Anybody else wish that you had the software to give Adam 1000 likes from 1 hit?

[@rubenvergaray1624]

Estimado Adam, a toda mi familia nos encanta la música que usted interpreta. Me gustaría saber si me puede dar permiso para mostrar sus videos de KZbin, "Recuerdos de Alhambra" y "Granada", a mis alumnos de español en la Universidad de Brigham Young, pues vamos a hablar justamente de La Alhambra. Puede encontrar mis credenciales en LinkedIn. Le estaré muy agradecido. Rubén Vergaray-Nauth

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Estimado Rubén, muchísimas gracias por sus amables comentarios y me alegra mucho que le guste a usted y a su familia. Por supuesto que tienes mi permiso, ni hace falta pedirlo, para compartir mis vídeos con sus alumnos y amigos y todos Los amantes de la música y los buenos aficionados. Le mando un cordial saludo y le deseo lo mejor. Adam del Monte

[@connan6909]

Људи су љубоморни ,све похвале за извођење

[@jonravenwulf7788]

Dont get it twisted there was a time when his tremelo sounded like dadadaxadeeedercadadadaedapfapdadada but that's how we all start out.

[@edzmuda6870]

As a classical guitarist who dabbled in flamenco, I think holding the guitar flamenco style is superior to the classical position.

[@paulnash2294]

Very nice performance in many ways, but last chords are hared pp and ppp! Such a good idea in view of the title. Why do so few players obey Tarrega?

[@jashuacee]

A very technically demanding piece but played excellently. I think one of the reasons why people aren't liking it is because of the lack of expression and dynamics. Possibly some more obvious crescendos/ decrescendos and some rallentando's would help. Other than that your tremolo is great and your technique is outstanding, cheers!

[@klasikindo]

Can you please show us all how it's done by posting your version of this piece???I mean you criticized his playing for this and that.....gee I can't wait to hear your version of recuerdos.

[@jashuacee]

klasikindo Did you even read my comment? The only thing I criticized was his lack of expression. I stated he played excellently and his technique was outstanding or did you only read the second line of the comment? Your comment is so flawed in many ways, do I have to be a professional musician to have an opinion on a performance? Does a movie critic have to make his own movie before criticizing a movie? Okay, well next time going by your comment, don't have an opinion on ANYTHING unless you can do it better! Please think before you make these comments, it makes you sound like a child.

[@klasikindo]

Joshua Chen Sorry I don't mean to be rude. To me his playing is perfect and I just don't know what else needs to be there. So when I read your comment I was keen to see just that. I didn't know you can't even play recuerdos. Also we live in a free world, of course you can have an opinion on anything. It's just that I was fooled by your comment. You sounded like a pro. I didn't know you don't even know your shit.

[@jashuacee]

klasikindo I realise my comment was a bit harsh and I do apologise. Thank you for acknowledging my point, but I'm not too sure where you got the assumption that I haven't played the piece or have any knowledge of the guitar. Yes you could say his performance was flawless and his tremolo is great but as I said earlier I believe the absence of dynamics caused it to be disliked. I was trying to give out constructive feedback but obviously you have taken it the wrong way, also I'm not sure why you apologised for being rude and then said "you don't even know your shit".

[@dsuvar]

I like this version. It's not to fast as John Wiliams or with many pause as Ana Vidović. It is hoe it should be.

[@soprano27100]

57 people are jealous!!

[@lucasIINF]

Completely, his performance is brilliant.

[@TheHesseJames]

This tremolo thing is maddening to me. I just can’t get it down to sound nice. What I don’t get is when I watch your fingers - not only yours but of other great guitarists as well - you seem to play it way slower than it actually sounds. I just don’t get it…

[@TheHesseJames]

What do you know? Practicing it from time to time actually got the job done! In the beginning you think you`ll never get there but you do!

[@mariodelgado662]

why so many dislikes
