This premiered on my Birthday, sorry to say that I did not find it until last week. Happy Birthday to me! I am spellbound by the talents both young and old. I encourage the 38 thumbs-downers to record and upload themselves playing a finer performance.

[@enricoceva4784]

Tecnica strepitosa, grande musicalità e suono meraviglioso. Grande Scott Tennant❤

[@julikim2125]

Beautiful playing by Elle and Jack!!! Thank you 🙏😊👍💕

[@intimateharmonymusic4173]

Wonderful performance Scott. Vince Stuck and I always enjoy your expressive musicality. Thanks for being here for all of us!

[@judwatkins9478]

This concert is a gift to all the world! Elle Davisson is possessed, as a young person, of magnificent talent, performing difficult pieces such as these, which she performs flawlessly.

[@jimenagallardo9802]

Congratulations to Elle, she has a big future!, she is great now, such a sensibility!, saludos de México.

[@stevedavis8329]

i love that there actually are classical guitarists who aren't embarrassed to have a snark up on the head stock. I wish my ear was perfect, but if it were up to me, much of the classical repertoire would wind up being played down in "older neil young needing this down a whole step" range 🙂

[@jeffreyharper2731]

Snarks are the best tuners. I have one for each of my guitars

[@johnturtle6649]

so relaxing to hear and just be

[@barberpianoserv]

It's always such a pleasure to hear Scott play! Technical excellence infused with sensitive musicality warms my heart and encourages me to grab my guitar and practice! Thank you Scott!

[@RobertoAlvarezGalloso]

Les Barricades Mysterieuses reminds me of my time in Spain [Euskadi and Galicia] the ancestral homelands

[@allenhong205]

it is a thrill to see Scott' performance which absolutely is a sooth to the pain of pandemic. His style and being on the stage is always a model for young guys to copy because it looks so beautiful and natural. Hope see you more on the youtube

[@ecdavek230]

Wow. Really loved that first piece Elle performed. So energetic. Very reminiscent of types of music from early Windham Hill. Looking forward to listening to rest of concert.

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

Well done Elle just too start with saudade not an easiest start. Congratulations on creating a nice ambience

[@javaclouds8017]

Elle Davisson: what a wonderful technique!! nice.

[@Jomo1438]

That Wild Mountain Thyme is just gorgeous. Thanks for playing it!

[@josemariaf.j.dasilveira7060]

I saw her as a baby girl playing, Amazing

[@theguitarsofmatthewgrasso]

Sublime Scott!

[@gotamaexpediciones8043]

Very Sweet. Thank you very much Omni Foundation and all the players.

[@skateborg]

Loved the performances. Bravo and cheers to all who played in this video. Thank you St Mark's and Omni Foundation!

[@robertcohn8858]

This entire concert is so beautiful - especially the final piece by Mr. Tennant. Thank you so much for posting.

[@kjellfagerheim6789]

Bravo

[@casz7098]

I've been watching these masters on this channel for about a week now. They all seem so happy and content.

[@cycling.guitarist]

I was drawn into the music not only by the sound, but also the sensitivity of dynamics and phrasing from such a young player. Sky is your limit, never let your talent slip away!

[@FaceTheStreets]

Thank you. This was such a beautiful performance from all of you.

[@dmcdani605]

As ALWAYS . . . a memorable and impressive program . . . congratulations and thanks to the Omni Foundation, certainly not to leave out the two young performers, Elle and Jack, skill and presence for any age and yet . . . so young. Looking for their growing musical influence in years to come.

[@SirgalDelRchannel]

This is awesome. Such a beautiful and excellent performance,. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Stay safe , healthy and have a great weekend.👍

[@Dreamamine_THE_ONLY_REAL_ONE]

THANK you Scott. Wonderful and heartfelt as always. I LOVE Wild Mountain Thyme, and that was a marvelous version! God Bless. Hope to see you at The Sheldon again soon!

[@andreasbyczkowski3435]

Impressive! He was already the most “solid” “classical” guitarist as a USC freshman “welded to his guitar” with zilch pretentiousness a couple years ago and has consistently broadened musically into galactic unknowns.

[@PeterTerpstra7]

Thank you, Scott, that was a great concert! Applause! Hope to see you soon playing live in Seattle!

[@joaorezendelopes3956]

Always a lesson to watch Scott playing.....just incredible!!!!!

[@michaelemmanuel9191]

Such high artistry. Thanks, Scott. Thanks so much

[@rodriosss]

The first song sounds SO INCREDIBLY BRAZILIAN ! I'll research more about it.

[@leovic2011]

Roland Dyens 's honored Villa-Lobos with Trois Saudades & Capricornes. Besides, he recorded "Naquele Tempo", album with the arrangements of the Brazilian Master Pixinguinha. PS: Senti que parecia uma Bachianinha, mas foi o seu comentário que me fez buscar mais!

[@rodriosss]

@@leovic2011 The way I felt when I listened to this music was so amazingly familiar... Villa Lobos is fantastic.

[@Michajeru]

Thank you Maestro, you are an inspiration.

[@OscarGhgilia]

A real pleasure to hear you play!

[@TaiChiBeMe]

Wonderful wonderful performance! I love Scott's playing always. Such great sound and control.

[@maryhalvey2861]

Thank you, Scott. From John Halvey

[@gaetanlelu1499]

Belle pièce contemporaine, rendue très prenante grâce à l'intelligence et à la technique d' Elle Davisson. Merci. And great contribution from Scott Tenant. Very moving.

[@herinirinacharlyrandrianas7451]

Very nice site for these sweet melodies...

[@timpaminecraft]

[@nancymelody7584]

Tremenda seleccion, me hace añorar los tiempos de mi juventud. Esta era mi musica preferida, ya que yo era un joven con alma vieja.

[@uweboll8833]

Great! Thanks & greetings from Würzburg.

[@budemita]

the Alfonso Montes piece makes me cry 😭

[@musicadelaprepa1532]

Bautiful sound, beautiful concert, I really love theguitar ❤

[@larrydean4433]

I could not play the 'Bells' in that position when I had the pinched nerve, electric ants with razor toes, but at least I could play. Perhaps I should try again, now that I can have the guitar down again on a Dynarest. Beautiful as always. Thanks.

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Inspiring music throughout. Scott made me practice both tremolo pieces off this

[@MarkInLA]

Thanks Scott ! Great job on "Campanas" ! I have this piece and forgot about it ! Now I know I gotz to to dig it out again.. Beautiful guitar ! MDem

[@christineberge9324]

[@Andrea-hh6li]

I immediately bought "Floreando" guitar pdf. Fantastic!

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Where can I buy it? I need to practice

[@norbertogustavoblanco1700]

Muy bueno lo de Tennant... Creo que usa cuerdas Savarez Cantiga.

[@juanmanuellinares3083]

hey it's the guy that wrote Pumping Nylon! I'm watching this shit

[@josephmarcello7481]

And thank you for your continuing exploration into repertoire which is new and unknown to us.. Scott, please consider what has been long conviction of mine about which I shall Sunday write an essay or article if I ever get around to it, which is the arguably naughty habit of guitarists to tune in front of their public. No other instrumentalist in my experience indulgence themselves quite to the extent guitarists do in assuring themselves or their audiences that their instruments are calibrated exactly as they should be. However, it seems very few have realized that this often steals the glory of the guitar announcing its first notes at the inception of a piece, rather than before it. The guitar's voice should emerge as a new and pristine phenomenon, never heard prior to that moment when the first piece begins its song. Surely there cannot be that much alteration in pitch from the moment the guitarist emerges from backstage and sits down on his or her stool. Even harpists who are notorious for tuning, manage somehow to avoid this rather frustrating habit. And it's up to the teachers my friend, to cultivate new and better habits!

[@robinterkzer8128]

Wondrous ! xxxxxxx

[@alceufilhomusical3541]

Sonoridade fantástica

[@olewetdog6254]

That third fella's pretty good! 😮

[@irfanchooify]

Bravo !

[@teresitacosta3695]

Magnífico!

[@josdurkstraful]

Elle: not only is your playing great but also you look stunningly beautiful with that dress and the flower in your hair.

[@harishv7245]

👏👏👏

[@flightloungebeats]

love when the players are just geniuses lol

[@edwardanderson3506]

At the 26:43 mark. Scott's expression is priceless!

[@chita1205]

espetaculo de menina, toca muito bem

[@Boldstrummer]

Don't know how kids like Elle and Jack can afford $12,000 guitars. . . But here in Silicon Valley anything is possible. One of my students brought into his lesson a $80,000 Hauser like Segovia played! So I'm not surprised by anything these days. . . . Anyway, great young players. And of course Scott is a great master. We both studied with Pepe Romero. Love the Alfonso Montes pieces. I'm very fond of Venezuelan music.

[@RufuxDei]

53:24 wow!!!!

[@hectormontoya5025]

Genial.

[@MaguireGuitar]

Elle Davisson!! Nice work!! It is kinda discouraging for old farts like me to see youngsters play so well!

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

I agree , super kids but they need to learn to smile

[@MarkInLA]

PS. Sometimes I think your 'right-leggedness' guit. is the original way it may have been meant-perceived by the first luthiers, descending from the lute and all....

[@domarali6553]

wao...

[@shadowblaster124]

Scott Tennant comes out at 15:08

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

What brand of guitar support is Scott using here? I can’t see it.

[@openly-creative]

😊

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

15:26 ...you're welcome.

[@SergeyNikolaevGuitar]

55:46

[@StopFear]

Can anybody tell what size guitar Scott Tennant plays here? Seems like it may be smaller than the standard size but I cannot tell for sure.

[@StopFear]

Does anybody know who taught the Davissons guitar? Like who is the instructor or what music school did they go to?

[@flippinguitar]

Christopher Mallett at the California Conservatory of Music.

[@BernieHollandMusic]

I can't figure out how Scott's guitar is being held in position whilst he plays !

[@paulloladeira]

Belly supports the guitar. Wonderful playing , by the way,

[@RationalThinker1859]

Resting on the 2nd or 3rd or 4th belly roll.

[@artform7836]

It's an old Flamenco style position placed on his right thigh.

[@maxsteinhoff]

The Force is Strong with this One!

[@josephmarcello7481]

Provo to you and your protege, Scott, from your one time or actually, 2-ton host in New England, along with the entire l a g q.. a couple of extracurricular nuances you might want to share with your charge.. tell her she's allowed to smile now and then, and that as long as the audience is offering her their applause, she should give them her attention, and not be tuning the guitar in preparation for her next piece, so dutifully.

[@ClassicalPan]

Does anyone know which luthier made that guitar? I really like that unusual rosette.

[@BUTEOGALLUS]

Check the description of the video. All those informations are given there along with the full list of pieces.

[@furknee06]

Anyone know who makes the guitar he is playing. Mr tennant always has great taste in guitars.

[@tasdiaouri1592]

S Connor guitar

[@JasminsBoss]

The guitar sounds loud and crisp but I wish I could hear the intros, too soft.

[@StopFear]

At the 20:00 mark what did he say ? His what wife?

[@bbb12228]

What guitar is Scott playing ?

[@christofinb]

Great to see Scott playing and refreshing to hear some more original repertoire. Makes a change with no Bach also, I personally get bored with Bach.

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

That indicates a deficiency in you, not in Bach. Great art judges you, you do not judge it.

[@christofinb]

@@JeremiahAlphonsus then oh great one I bow to your superior opinion 👏
