I used to play just like that before my knee injury... 😢

I only play after everyone else has gone to bed. Just shy I guess.

My understanding of music is quite limited. I'll describe this piece as powerful and sweetly askew. Parts remind me of American acoustic fingerpicking.

[@robertlaghiti7228]

There is this uncertain quality or shifting in the melody. It is a characteristic of Arabic Music and Tàrrega aswell. Though it may be brief characteristic in all music. Because even in happy classical music there are nervous parts in it. That guitar board slapping he did at the end. Somehow he made it cooler than the action is conducted.

You're onto something. This is in the style of Baião, a northeastern Brazilian folk style. Given the big influence from iberic culture, we also get some of that moorish flavor.

Damn, what is he like 10? Amazing

[@blahblah49000]

I believe his thumb is longer than my pinky. :D What a great future he has!
