    I rarely comment on TH-cam but this is so beautiful and worthy of high praise. I never imagined this transcription would work on solo guitar so well. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks 🙏

    Wow. Simply amazingly beautiful. My grandfather loved classical guitar and introduced me to Segovia on vinyl when I was young. Wish I could share this video with him.

      Thank you so much for listening and commenting. I was introduced to the classical guitar by my grandfather as well, he showed me albums of Liona Boyd and lent me his guitar, which was the instrument I first learned on. Happy New Year!!

    Utterly gorgeous, this is one of those pieces that really works well with the reverb in the hall - unreal that you got it to translate to the guitar so well, that says everything about just how good your playing is!

      @@AdamCicchillitti When saw the song I just had to listen to the version, is one of my favourite classic, in fact I gave it a try so many years ago, but in an electric guitar way, with a recorded backing guitar and shortened version, but has nothing to do with yours lol..! And btw I was exploring your channel and again congrats, you have a great career and play several great artists like Tárrega, Albeniz, Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, Bach and many other great stuff so just wow 👍🎸💪

      Great question! I use Guitar Nails Kit adhesives. It’s basically 3M double-sided tape. Non-toxic, so it doesn’t ruin the nail-bed, and sticks really well. You have to make sure when you apply the stickers that the real nail is very clean and that the nail you’re applying is perfectly filed down to fit on top of the real nail. I played on my real nails for 20 years so I didn’t want to start using toxic glues www.grandsalondeguitare.com/product/a-175-guitar-nails-kit-refill-adhesives/

This piece could technically be played on any guitar but is best-suited to a classical guitar.
