Hi Chris, Great performance! Are you still enjoying your Carrington? I visited Chris Carrington a couple of years ago and bought a Cedar/Brazilian 660 model from him. It's a wonderful instrument!

Thank you for your attention. You have already helped me by turning my attention to this inspired performance of Villa-Lobos. I love the way you let the music flow naturally yet find the right time and tone for each note. Truly an example to be followed... You deserve your Smallman which serves you wonderfully. Best wishes,
Gergely

This music is awesome... everybody can have his own version of this piece of music, but your version is the best, what I heard. I am learning the preludium at this time too.
I am sorry for my english, because I am from small city of the Czech republic, so I can´t english good.

Lukynner - Thanks for your comment. I was in the Czech Republic about 3 years ago. I was playing concerts in Germany and my host took me there for a day. Your English is better than my Czech.

Great sound and interpretation! Very enjoyable video. I'm curious as to why you put "Smallman" in your tags? Is the guitar based on a Smallman?

[@RONzilber]

Great version of this wonderful piece of music.
Love your playing. By the way, you have a great guitar! what a great sound! so soft and warm. Hope to have one like yours.

Fantastic version! I love especially the fact that it is very focused in the interpretation and less in the technique and virtuosity. Sorry if my english is bad.

[@guitarsociety]

Thanks Sam. That means a lot to me coming from you. I'd love to hear you on TH-cam, too.

Really good Chris. Really, really good! But then I kind of expected it would be.
