THE Fabio Lima?!? 🤩

[@SemihFatihAdem]

Game and movie music hold a special place in my heart as they evoke/hold the emotions you felt while watching or playing. It becomes more than just music; it's a nostalgic trip down to your memories.

[@augustinestrings]

It's FFVII for me!

[@beatrixguitar]

Great episode, I loved the casual, cozy vibe! It was so good to hear Amanda talking about her motivations after watching so many of her short form content :)

[@amandakaya]

Thank you Beatrix!!!!! 🙏🏻

[@odeluchi]

So nice, Amanda! Congratulations!

[@philltadman]

That was great! What an interesting format for an interview. I obsess about damaging my nails and guitar when changing strings. I now cover the top with a piece of cardboard for protection 😂

[@augustinestrings]

Very clever! You could even use the empty pack of strings 😉

[@BenDiamondGuitarist]

[@augustinestrings]

thanks Ben, we think so too!

[@rodrigolerner698]

Beatiful interview. Congrats!

[@JimmyOnGuitar]

This is great! I can really relate to that struggle of having to set mics up and take them down for every single recording (I have a 2 year old daughter). It’s by far the most time consuming part!

[@amandakaya]

Thanks so much 😁 set up and take down are definitely time consuming!!!! 😭

[@augustinestrings]

Jimmy, TH-cam magic just led us to your rendition of Anxious Hearts -- my absolute fave!! Bravo. - eli @augustine

[@JimmyOnGuitar]

@@augustinestrings thanks Eli! When I recorded that piece I had only owned a classical guitar for 8 months, and was still very much a newbie! LOL

[@CarlosVazquez-eh6dl]
