Thu Le, your story touched me deeply. Your family didn't have enough money, but you had love, and found a way to appreciate what you had and keep working and learning. The only thing bigger than your talent is your heart.
Dear Thu Le, you are a wonderful story teller! My wife and I enjoyed your story and pictures very much!!! I admire your self control to not yell at your daughter when she dropped your guitar! 😳 We are so impressed and amazed how a tiny girl from Hanoi from a very modest family has made such a worldwide impact with the stunning level of playing you have achieved. If you write your autobiography, I will happily pay extra for an autographed copy!!! Please accept our best wishes for continuing success in your playing career and happiness for your family. 💖💖💖 From Todd & Julia
You are not only one of the greatest guitarists on earth, but a great narrator. Thank you for sharing, inspiring, and spreading the love inside of you.
@@Yaiscimen I hope you are aware that you aren't actually insulting me but the lady. I guess you have problem with your English. Check out what you wrote again, will ya?
Dear Thu Le, First, I want to thank you for all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your musicality with us ! It's very useful, and very appreciated by guitarists like me, who don't have your talent, but can improve day by day with your kind assistance. This video is not the most profitable (technically speaking) but the most moving, and then the most inspiring for us all ! As you suggested it, I dare to share my own little "guitar story". We don't have the same musical background. I started to play in the early eighties, dreaming of joining a band and becoming a famous rock guitar player one day (!), like so many teenagers. I wasn't rich either, but to be honest, it was far much easier for a french yougster to access to decent instrument for an affordable price, compared to what it was for vietnamese players of that time ! However, good, (or even decent) instruments very beyond my range. In my early twenties, I started playing seriously with a band who splitted after a few years. But I remained friend with the singer of my band, who offered me his guitar one day. It was an Ibanez folk model (AE400 TV) : nothing exceptional, but much better than any other I ever had before. Time passed, I started a new band, more serious and more successful : my Ibanez became my best friend : I wrote songs with her, played it on recordings, brought her on stage. One day, this band broke up. For some time, I kept on writing songs for other people and myself. But after a few years, I had to admit that I wasn't talented enough to keep on playing full time. It made me so sad that I decided to forget about playing. I stored my guitar under a bed for years. The guitar came back in my life when I became a father : I started using it to play child songs to my kids, and then, step by step, my Ibanez brought me back to musical practice. My daughter broke it first when she was 6 years old, and a few month later, my son did exactly the same. Both times, the guitar was broken on the headstock. Both times, I brought it to a luthier, who asked why I was so stubborn, wanting to fix this "not that good" guitar when I could almost buy a new one for the price of the repair. But as you explained it in such a moving way, the attachment when have for an instrument is sometimes above any financial concern. Almost 40 years after the arrival of this guitar in my life, she is still around, now played by my son who has become a guitar player too. Thanks again for your beautiful story about your early guitars, and for reminding us how important an instrument can be, for us or for the ones who can't get one. Offering an instrument to someone who really needs one is maybe the most beautiful gift we can make.
Thu Le, you are such an elegant lady and so well-spoken. I love seeing the emotion and expression in your eyes and face when you talk about your guitars and the people who helped you along the way. My first guitar, a Sears and Roebuck Silvertone, was passed on to me from my brother when he bought a new guitar. I wish I still had it, but I still have the memories of learning a few chords and playing songs with my brother. I love your videos Thu Le. Best wishes always, Jon
Thu Le you made a grown man cry with pride! From scrappy humble roots you rose! Tiny, only 5, but with fingers like 3 years old. Fighting them against old, rusted steel! Pushing your fingers to their limits and more! Perhaps, with your belly a little empty, tummy growling, waiting for dinner that will be modestly portioned! Intense determination to conquer these steel strings attached to a piece of wood that you could paint beautiful sounds. Encouraged by the love and care from your artistic father! From humble roots you blossomed. Focused, Intense, proud, you diligently challenged each of these special guitars to blossom into the humble, loving, nurturing, inspiring, thoughtful human beings. Virtuoso artistic mastery of the guitar that can express every range of emotions in a way that only you can produce! I would love to hear another story about your experiences with your Japanese friend and what she's doing now, have you reunited with her? Perform together? A story about what it was like to be only 7 and learning in these disciplined situations, your competition you won..... 🙏❤😊 Thanks so much for being such a special person
I am 70.years of age and never thought I could play the guitar.. Two years ago I started mainly self taught and i learnt to read music. Starting so late in life I can never achieve a level that I would like to aspire to. I love your videos and music and this latest video is really a lovely inspiring story. Your videos that innvolve your daughters playing guitar are also so refreshing. They are a credit to you. Vietnam has had such a sad and difficult history, it is truly wonderful to see, through your playing and your character how the past is behind you. Thank you for your inspiration. Frank Rossi
Thank you Thu Le for that inspirational journey with your beloved guitars. Your honesty and sincerity allows reveals what a beautiful being you are . 🙏
Thu Le you melted my heart with your story. I could see and feel the love and passion in your eyes as you told of your journey from being a young guitar student to a world class guitarist. You certainly have had your share of struggles through the years but you kept at it and you became successful. I am SO proud of you. My first guitar belonged to my younger brother who died at age 30. I still have it and every time I put my hands on the neck and play it I think of him.
My fist guitar was steel string and provided by my father.He sang in quartets and the sound of those harmonies are my first musical memories. I wasn’t even old enough to have language but I remember being held in my mothers arms, the lights being turned off and the sound of that first sung chord.The thrill was physical. I deeply regret letting that instrument get away from me. I’ll bet we have one skill in common. Learning to tie those broken steel strings back together. That, I do not miss. (in the event that you ever find yourself having to do that again, (God forbid 🙏) a pair of strong forceps really helps). Thanks so much for sharing yourself with us. You’ve enriched and edified me by your efforts and existence.🕊💐🌹💐🕊
What a beautiful story! I’m sure you could make beautiful music on any instrument that you take in your hands. It’s not the price of the guitar or the name of the builder, but the heart and soul of the person who is using it. Growing up in the late 1950s I remember my parents loved Spanish guitar music, and they worked hard to save money to buy my older brother an electric guitar. They couldn’t afford to buy lessons for all three of us boys, so the oldest one went to lessons and he in turn taught us younger boys how to play. Your story means a lot to me because you were able to overcome a lot of obstacles and you are pursuing your own musical dreams. Thank you for this amazing story, and may Heaven bless you and your family, whatever your ambitions and aspirations!
Thu Le: you are not only the gifted and talented guitarist but also a lovely human. being. Thank you so much for opening yourself up and share with us the wonderful steps of your musical journey. Sincerely wish you all the bests and peace. We love you !
Beautiful story! It was hard time and difficult. I was living in Vietnam in those period years. But you are made it. Your dad and family are proud of you. Thanks a lot for sharing.
_Thank you for a beautiful story a_ *_"guitar"_* _story. For all guitarists the ones that fall in love with its sound and its portability so you can carry anywhere you wish and have fun with it and of course, you always treasure the very first one usually the cheapest one that you can get, but it held dear to your heart because it embedded your whole childhood in it....Oh! what a beautiful memory it keeps flashing through my mind I feel like I'm tasting a full spoon of condensed family love it placed me back on the bank of my childhood stream. Once again thank you for your lovely and also romantic story_
With her playing she's able to move me and now, listening to her story, I understand why. I'm a musician too, 61 y.o., not as good a musician as this beautiful woman but I was good enough to earn my bread for most of my life and I learnt pretty soon a lesson: you put in your music exactly who and what you are, no more, no less. So this woman had lived a lot, experienced a lot, suffered and struggled a lot to reach her dream, and her family struggled as well and made so many sacrifices to help her on her way in any way possible. And she had friends and mentors who recognised the quality within and helped her and I bet she's so grateful for all the love and support she received. We can hear all these things coming out through her hands, directly from her heart and soul and this, my friends, it's the thing that makes all the difference of the world for an artist. All my love and respect to you, Thu Le, keep on make this crazy world a better place with your beauty and your guitar. 💖
Thu Le, I was deeply moved by your story about your guitar. Your dedication to classical guitar is truly admirable. I hope you'll continue to share your journey with us.
I just happened across your channel today and I loved your guitar history, very interesting seeing pics of some of the guitars you grew up playing. I appreciate you and I'll look at your other videos! 😊🎼🎸👍
Hi Thu, It is a beautiful Sunday morning in Melbourne I am having my cup of coffee and listening to your story .It is very interesting story,it brings tears to my eyes when thinking of my first broken guitar that my mum picked it from the neighbor trash bin for me. i never forget the exciting feeling when i hold on to it . So now every time i feel upset with my elderly mum i think of how much she loves me on that day. Thanks for sharing your great memory.
I love your humble stories. My life was similar to yours and my parents could not afford to send me to music school or pay for private lessons. We had an old piano at home and I learned to read music when I was 7 or 8 by a relative. Then I learned the music cords too in 1980s. I think I learned so much from that old piano. Today my day job is not related to music and I can afford an expensive grand piano. I was at a concert tonight and I saw so many parents pampered their kids which never happened to me. I played a simple piece not to show off to kids. People came to me and said I played piano so good. But I wish I could tell them how I learned the music. Don't worry about your old guitars as long as you have a better one. They are just some wood and metals. But your daughter learned a lesson that you could have never thought her in any other way. She will always remember she broke your beloved guitar and you glued it back together. That is what mom is for!
There was a touching story between the guitar and the giant artist Thu Le. Her story touched my heart so easily. Million thanks to Thu Le. Thanks for uploading.
I'm in tears...what a great story.....really wonderful to see the pictures. Love that your guitar's.....no matter what the name or status mean so much to you. I have always felt the same.....my first (1970) was stolen......my second met a similar unhappy accident as yours's and became unplayable. While none were big name brands.....my guitars are precious to me......no matter what they are.....like children. I have never much understood people selling their guitars.....though I'm happy they did......because I got to buy them. I could no more sell any of my guitars than I could sell my arms legs or fingers (though sometimes I feel I should definitely sell my head).......perhaps I'm just a sentimental old fool.....but they are to me like an extension of my soul and story..... consoled me in hard times and brought much joy in happier ones.....have kept me centered in my humanity.....which is.....for better or for worse......what I am. Thank you for your lessons and inspiration and sharing your heart. You are a gem. 💖🎸💖🎼💖🌈🌈🌈
So interesting and captivating! Thu, I love these kind of personal stories! Cutest ever childhood photos! I still have my student model Ramirez that I purchased new, $440 USD (1973 when in college) from a man in Woodside California. He and his wife bought two of these guitars in Spain and brought them home thinking he would keep one and give the other to his daughter. His daughter was not interested in learning guitar thus his selling it to me. I was fortunate to know luthier John Gilbert who personally installed his signature tuners and did some other work, including putting a slight radius on the fretboard for ease of playing. I stopped playing for some years and actually was going to sell my Ramirez but thankfully my wife talked me out of it. Glad she did because I dusted off my guitar and starting playing again about 15 years later! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful guitar journey!
A long story with many adventures. What I do not get together, you look between 25 and 30 years. How come you experienced so many things. I got my first violin at my age of 10. As we could not afford buying an instrument I borrowed a 3/4 violin from my school. After 3 years later my mother surprised me with an instrument she bought from a luthier next town. She paid 500 DM for it in 1963 (around 125 $ that time). I know it was the best possible my mother could afford. My violin teacher said it was a saxonian instrument and quite good. However I never really was content with it but I never said it. The neck was a bit narrow and I had difficulties with my thick fingers. Also the sound was a bit thin. When I was 21 I bought my own which I have till now. My brother got a guitar but I played more with it than he did. It was fun but I never got beyond playing chords or simple melodies. It was in the late sixties and I was a big fan of Andre Segovia. However, what he did was just too high above of all I could ever dream of. But I dreamt - till now. So each time I'm listening to your play the dream comes back.
Oh, teacher! It's a very beaultful story about your trajectory wiht your guitars. I, when was a child, every day listened my cousin Ana Maria played his guitar, and I was fall in Love for the instruments. Unfortunatly, I just got a guitar when I was 16 years old, couse I was very poor, and my family didn't have money tô buy me... But, thanks God, today I can get a good instruments and sometimes I can give then to people that don't have money for it. Well, I think I stretched a lot. Thank you só much for your wonderful videos and for the serie "Thu Lê Talks Techniks". Be careful!
My first guitar is a second-handed factory guitar which costs about $150. I bought it from my guitar teacher and I still play it. I started learning guitar in 2018 during the darkest days of my life. Each time I play guitar, I feel so happy and relaxed. I certainly can't be a guitarist, but I will keep learning and playing.
What a beautiful, inspiring story. I like especially the part where you say, “But don’t worry, I didn’t yell at her” when your young daughter had the accident with your much prized guitar. It says lots about you and your precious family. I recently purchased a very good used Spanish flamenco guitar, my first professional quality guitar, and I am following your excellent instruction, starting with tremolo technique. THANK YOU!
It was a very emotional guitar stories, you were like a lotus flower bloomed beautifully and risen up strong from the muddy swarm in pitch darkest night...Keep going forevermore with your guitars. Hopefully your two daughters will carry on to play with such devotion on these instruments.
You are a great person and a great guitarist with heart, your renditions are smart and sensitive! .... I bought my first concert guitar two days ago, and I am still waiting for it!
How great is your journey, so interesting and inspiring. What a cute photo of your very first performance. Like yourself, I still have my very first guitar - steel string Martin copy which my brother bought for me way back in 76 from some money he owed to me. Have a couple of really nice guitars now.
Hi Thu Le, I am a new subscriber who is fascinated by the color and style of your music. I am truly thankful that I can listen to your performance on TH-cam rather than at a concert hall. And I very much empathize with your grief over losing your first guitar.❤
My first real professional guitar took me a long time to afford. It was on layaway for almost a year. Every week when I went to the music store to make a payment I got to play it a little. My parents made the last payment and surprised me with it for Christmas. I miss those days. Thank you for reminding me how special they were.
Memories are one of the few things we have that are priceless .... simply because they can not be stolen and under normal circumstances not be lost. Wonderful that you cherrish them so much.
Wow ma'am, I just found this video. What an amazing story. It was wonderful to watch you story. You are a wonderful story teller. May you continue to perform for a very long time.
Exudas amor a la guitarra por cada poro de tu piel, y ello se manifiesta no solo en cada nota que sale de tus dedos, sino tambien en cada palabra que pronuncian tus labios. Eres toda una inspiración, y es un lujo escucharte. GRACIAS!!!
You have more emotional talent than most guitarists you know can conceive of… I have a fourty-years old guitar a girl bought for me when in twenties. She is my beloved whom I has been sharing my soul with for over 30 years. I am very thankful to hear your story that will be remembered for a long while.
Thank you so much for sharing, Thu Le. Your stories are so moving and also inspiring. I had the same constrains growing up in Saigon after 1975 with very limited resources that my parents could afford for my education, let alone music classes. You have come a long way but never forget your difficul beginning. Please keep on the great works and contunue to inspire others! ❤
You're so gifted. It's very emotional for me to hear your story about your first guitar. I enjoy listening to your guitar playing a lot. Thank you, Thu Le. I'm very proud of you.
I owned 3 guitars in my life.Sadly I did not pursue a goal to progress to a level of professional guitarist. I think to become such a great guitarist takes more than interest and ambition.You worked for it consistently Thu le so as to have passion for perfection. Job well done.
Thank you for letting us know more about you Thu Le.👌 There is no doubt that the excellence you show in each composition you play is a reflection of the life you have spent dedicating to this wonderful instrument called classical guitar.🎸👏
Wonderful story. I was emotional when I saw the photo with you and your father. I am also having two children and my son plays the classical guitar in the academy and my daughter is playing the piano and ballet for about 12 years now. I play the guitar or piano when she dance on it. We are giving sometimes performances together in cultural centra . We love music and culture and I really love your story. My best wishes to you and your dearest.
Your story made me so emotional as it was kind of similar to mine. My first concert guitar (around 30 USD) that i performed in your city Hanoi in 1985. I was there 3 months to practice and perform several times. That was such a beautiful memory in my life. Thanks for sharing your touched and beautiful story. ♥️♥️♥️
Very compelling story. It reminds me of my childhood. My first guitar I made it myself. I found a guitar neck in a garbage pile and proceeded to construct the body painstakingly. The sound was terrible. The strings dug deep into my fingers. But it gave me great joy. I left it behind when I migrated from Haiti to New York. However I sitll can't stop the sadness and occasional tears thinking about it. Best of luck, good health and continuing success. You are the best. From Eddy
Dear Thu Le.... So wonderful to hear your story. I wish not to post my life story here. I have a Brasilian guitar, signature Sergio Abreu, performed by Abreu. Maybe you have heard of Abreu? I can no longer play it, as I have now spinal problems and arthritis in my hands. However, in the hands of a master, the guitar projects very well, has very good intonation, and a very sweet sound. It is now 40 years old, has been around the world, and remains in excellent playing condition. I doubt the woods can be replaced; rosewood, pernambuco, Italian spruce, bone, etc. I have tried many brands of strings, but it sounds best with Savarez blue. Difficult to part with it, but maybe someday I will find a good home for it.
This was an exciting adventure to hear about your beginnings and struggles through the years to where you are now. The best part for me was when your daughter dropped your first paid for guitar, a prized possession. You chose not to scold her even when this hurt you deeply ... a very wise choice. A guitar can be replaced or fixed reguardless of the importance. A daughter cannot. Once again you have kept me on the edge of my seat as you share these memories and the continuing growth of those 2 precious students of yours. May God richly bless you and your family!
I think that behind each of our guitars there is a story to share the love we have for them. I have two guitars, a Salvador Ibañez (Valencia) since 1965, (thanks to my father for buying it) built in 1928 and a Nuñez Gran Concert 1984. Thank you Master, it is always nice to see your videos. ♪♫ ☺
Wow. I loved this video ThuLe of course I am a guy. The tremendous efforts your family makes for even the simplest instruments is very moving, I understand why they are so special to you. I would be so interested to hear more about the story of your father, I never had a chance to hear it...what an amazing man. you melted my heart
Dear Thu Le, what a beautiful story! Please consider writing a book about your life, career, making a living as a guitarist in Vietnam. It's obvious you have so much to say and you are an engaging storyteller. It will be a fascinating read!
so enjoy watching all your videos, your two little ones are so lucky to have you teach them this art. I'm just learning how to play acoustic spanish guitar and hope one day to get to your skill level.
Hola Thu Le muy interesante tu biografía y la ganas de tu padre para que seas una guitarrista clásica. Gracias por tus videos que siempre los veo. Tengas lindo Domingo Thu Le con tus lindas hijas y familiares. Un saludo desde Trujillo - Perú.
Thu Le, This is a very compelling and captivating autobiography. Having made more than three dozens trips to Hanoi, I could imagine the scenes you described growing up with your guitars. Thank you for this delightful story. Mọi người ở khắp mọi nơi có thể nghe bài hát của bạn và sự thật tỏa sáng rực rỡ.
Love the story em ❤❤❤. I am getting a bit emotional hearing your story. Being a Vietnamese living in VN till 1981 I can feel the situation you were in. But that only makes your life as guitarist more special, overcoming all short falls and obstacles with your passion and the guidance of your dad amd teacher to become a brilliant international guitarist today is a story to treasure. I got my first guitar at 11 yrs old. It was an acoustic guitar because I liked to play and sing 😀. Only when I was 15 I fell in love with classical guitar after I heard the sound of it. My mum bought me a second hand classical guitar through a friend. It was a French made but I can't remember the brand. It came with black nylon strings. I left it back in VN with my cousins when I left. I don't know if they still have it.
What a wonderful story. Your father is a very special parent who has been crucial to your development. It is wonderful to hear such a story that underscores how important an interested father can be. But you certainly do him great honor and I'm sure he's very proud. Thu Le, you are unique and I hope you will have a wonderful life. 💝Guitar accidents most of us who have played have experienced -It was good that your daughter was not injured😋
It was so interesting to hear your story. Over the years, there was no stopping you because not only do you have a great talent - you also have a deep kindness and joy that just plain shines through. I thank you for posting these videos. Your music is an important part of my day.
Rất thích câu chốt của Thu Lê, mình có cây đàn vợ mua tặng nhân dịp Valentine cũng mấy năm rồi, và với mình đó là cây đàn hay nhất dù nó chỉ 4 triệu VND
What a wonderful story about a father’s love (and guitars). Thank you for posting it. Words I long to hear from one of my granddaughters: “Papa, will you teach me to play the guitar?” Sadly, I’m still waiting.
Hello, Very nice story, my first guitar was given to me by my brother who passed 10 years ago. He found it in front of a house on the ground, it was in a pretty good condition insite it's box. So i was quite happy and play it for more than 15 years. As i was playing with a friend in his house, i had to go and let the guitar just for a couple of days but he never give me back this guitar and disappear with it. Tried to found him but with no success. I'll never forget this guitar and still now, i'm thinking.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful family stories. I am lucky to own several electric and acoustic guitars including my first acoustic (40 years old now!). Almost all of them have a special story... some purchased on remembrance of a family member others used in performing. Anyway, thx again... always enjoy your videos.
Wow Thu Le so very proud of you for coming through all this adversity and the difficulty involved being from a ,not so wealthy family but perseverance and hard work hasn't stopped you achieving your dreamed of goals,I wish you the greatest success you so richly deserve in all your endeavours and yours is a serious lesson for us bless you.❤
I still keep my first guitar my parents bought me when i was in primary school in 1989. I just play for half year on that time because the guitar teacher left us 😭 Then i play guitar again when i was in college about 1998 for 2-3years with private teacher. Today i’m 42yrs, during lockdown pandemic i play guitar again from last year until now.. I hope one day i can play guitar as beautiful tone as yours 😄
Rất thú vị những gì bạn kể về thời thơ ấu của bạn và luôn luôn là những gì cha bạn đề nghị bạn trở thành một nghệ sĩ guitar cổ điển lấp đầy trái tim của chúng tôi. Một lời chào lớn từ Peru và có một ngày chủ nhật tốt lành.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful guitar journey! The struggle your family had to went through in order to give you the best 💖✨! I have a secondhand Antonio Marin Montero 1978 No.212. Borrowed money from my grandparents to buy it which I paid back! I’m now 63. Hopefully wishing my grandchild will play the guitar! 🤗
Great stories Thu Le, My guitar stories wasn't even better than yours. My first cheap guitar brand after a motorcycle, Kawasaki. that always out of tune. My first guitar teacher was my uncle that has very limited guitar skill, I can't afford to get to a private course at music school. So I figure out pretty much everything by myself back then no internet era. My grandpa gave me money to buy my first cheap electric guitar (Prince) still have it today and re-build it after Eddie Van Halen Frankernstrat. Now I afford to buy some guitars. I had 4 electric guitars, 1 bass and 1 acoustic guitar. If there was a branded on my guitar, it's not a premium expensive one that I own and I love them all :)
Thanks Thu Le for sharing your story, I really enjoyed it. You are a classical guitar super star and you can make any guitar sound good even if it is broken. I wish you were around 40 years ago to be my classical guitar teacher. I stopped playing the guitar many years ago and as I am retired now I am getting back into it again but can only hope to be as good as you in my next life.😀. My father was a good classical guitarist but didn't have the time to teach me. I played the electric guitar and toured with bands in the 70's until the late 90's. I will be watching more of your videos to get some tips bust mostly for enjoyment. Keep up the great work, you are a legend.❤
What a beautiful story/journey. Apart from the guitars it shows the dedication, passion and determination necessary to achieve goals no matter what they are and how much raw talent you have. I also learnt that guitars come in different sizes even when they are “full” sized. Thank you for your inspirational story.
Incredible narrative , of a woman who let her fingers do the talking! I’ve just started learning guitar at 63!, 😂 Have a Yamaha NT1 But wish to get a more traditional classical guitar , it u til then, I’ll keep watching Thu Le instruction videos .
Muy interesante tu historia de vida Thu, con el apoyo de tus padres, dedicación y talento has logrado alcanzar el podio de los mejores guitarristas del mundo. Es un placer escuchar tus interpretaciones, felicitaciones!!!
Thu Le, your story touched me deeply. Your family didn't have enough money, but you had love, and found a way to appreciate what you had and keep working and learning. The only thing bigger than your talent is your heart.
Dear Thu Le, you are a wonderful story teller! My wife and I enjoyed your story and pictures very much!!! I admire your self control to not yell at your daughter when she dropped your guitar! 😳 We are so impressed and amazed how a tiny girl from Hanoi from a very modest family has made such a worldwide impact with the stunning level of playing you have achieved. If you write your autobiography, I will happily pay extra for an autographed copy!!!
Please accept our best wishes for continuing success in your playing career and happiness for your family. 💖💖💖 From Todd & Julia
Thank you so much Todd for your continuing support and love . I will update my autobiography soon with TH-cam audience ❤️
@@ThuleguitaristI love ❤️ your beautiful voice & your sweet English. You are stunning… you are gorgeous Angel 😇 of Vietnam 🇻🇳 ❤
You are not only one of the greatest guitarists on earth, but a great narrator. Thank you for sharing, inspiring, and spreading the love inside of you.
@@Yaiscimen you mad bro ... LMAO!!!
@@Yaiscimen I hope you are aware that you aren't actually insulting me but the lady. I guess you have problem with your English. Check out what you wrote again, will ya?
Dear Thu Le,
First, I want to thank you for all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your musicality with us ! It's very useful, and very appreciated by guitarists like me, who don't have your talent, but can improve day by day with your kind assistance.
This video is not the most profitable (technically speaking) but the most moving, and then the most inspiring for us all !
As you suggested it, I dare to share my own little "guitar story".
We don't have the same musical background. I started to play in the early eighties, dreaming of joining a band and becoming a famous rock guitar player one day (!), like so many teenagers.
I wasn't rich either, but to be honest, it was far much easier for a french yougster to access to decent instrument for an affordable price, compared to what it was for vietnamese players of that time !
However, good, (or even decent) instruments very beyond my range.
In my early twenties, I started playing seriously with a band who splitted after a few years. But I remained friend with the singer of my band, who offered me his guitar one day. It was an Ibanez folk model (AE400 TV) : nothing exceptional, but much better than any other I ever had before.
Time passed, I started a new band, more serious and more successful : my Ibanez became my best friend : I wrote songs with her, played it on recordings, brought her on stage.
One day, this band broke up. For some time, I kept on writing songs for other people and myself.
But after a few years, I had to admit that I wasn't talented enough to keep on playing full time.
It made me so sad that I decided to forget about playing. I stored my guitar under a bed for years.
The guitar came back in my life when I became a father : I started using it to play child songs to my kids, and then, step by step, my Ibanez brought me back to musical practice. My daughter broke it first when she was 6 years old, and a few month later, my son did exactly the same. Both times, the guitar was broken on the headstock. Both times, I brought it to a luthier, who asked why I was so stubborn, wanting to fix this "not that good" guitar when I could almost buy a new one for the price of the repair. But as you explained it in such a moving way, the attachment when have for an instrument is sometimes above any financial concern.
Almost 40 years after the arrival of this guitar in my life, she is still around, now played by my son who has become a guitar player too.
Thanks again for your beautiful story about your early guitars, and for reminding us how important an instrument can be, for us or for the ones who can't get one.
Offering an instrument to someone who really needs one is maybe the most beautiful gift we can make.
Thu Le, you are such an elegant lady and so well-spoken. I love seeing the emotion and expression in your eyes and face when you talk about your guitars and the people who helped you along the way. My first guitar, a Sears and Roebuck Silvertone, was passed on to me from my brother when he bought a new guitar. I wish I still had it, but I still have the memories of learning a few chords and playing songs with my brother. I love your videos Thu Le. Best wishes always, Jon
This lady is beautiful, sensitive, creative, hugely talented, modest and caring. Humanity at its best.
Thu Le you made a grown man cry with pride! From scrappy humble roots you rose! Tiny, only 5, but with fingers like 3 years old. Fighting them against old, rusted steel! Pushing your fingers to their limits and more! Perhaps, with your belly a little empty, tummy growling, waiting for dinner that will be modestly portioned! Intense determination to conquer these steel strings attached to a piece of wood that you could paint beautiful sounds. Encouraged by the love and care from your artistic father! From humble roots you blossomed. Focused, Intense, proud, you diligently challenged each of these special guitars to blossom into the humble, loving, nurturing, inspiring, thoughtful human beings. Virtuoso artistic mastery of the guitar that can express every range of emotions in a way that only you can produce! I would love to hear another story about your experiences with your Japanese friend and what she's doing now, have you reunited with her? Perform together? A story about what it was like to be only 7 and learning in these disciplined situations, your competition you won..... 🙏❤😊 Thanks so much for being such a special person
I am 70.years of age and never thought I could play the guitar.. Two years ago I started mainly self taught and i learnt to read music. Starting so late in life I can never achieve a level that I would like to aspire to. I love your videos and music and this latest video is really a lovely inspiring story. Your videos that innvolve your daughters playing guitar are also so refreshing. They are a credit to you.
Vietnam has had such a sad and difficult history, it is truly wonderful to see, through your playing and your character how the past is behind you.
Thank you for your inspiration. Frank Rossi
Thank you Thu Le for that inspirational journey with your beloved guitars. Your honesty and sincerity allows reveals what a beautiful being you are . 🙏
Thu Le you melted my heart with your story. I could see and feel the love and passion in your eyes as you told of your journey from being a young guitar student to a world class guitarist. You certainly have had your share of struggles through the years but you kept at it and you became successful. I am SO proud of you. My first guitar belonged to my younger brother who died at age 30. I still have it and every time I put my hands on the neck and play it I think of him.
My fist guitar was steel string and provided by my father.He sang in quartets and the sound of those harmonies are my first musical memories. I wasn’t even old enough to have language but I remember being held in my mothers arms, the lights being turned off and the sound of that first sung chord.The thrill was physical. I deeply regret letting that instrument get away from me.
I’ll bet we have one skill in common. Learning to tie those broken steel strings back together. That, I do not miss. (in the event that you ever find yourself having to do that again, (God forbid 🙏) a pair of strong forceps really helps).
Thanks so much for sharing yourself with us. You’ve enriched and edified me by your efforts and existence.🕊💐🌹💐🕊
What a beautiful story! I’m sure you could make beautiful music on any instrument that you take in your hands. It’s not the price of the guitar or the name of the builder, but the heart and soul of the person who is using it. Growing up in the late 1950s I remember my parents loved Spanish guitar music, and they worked hard to save money to buy my older brother an electric guitar. They couldn’t afford to buy lessons for all three of us boys, so the oldest one went to lessons and he in turn taught us younger boys how to play. Your story means a lot to me because you were able to overcome a lot of obstacles and you are pursuing your own musical dreams. Thank you for this amazing story, and may Heaven bless you and your family, whatever your ambitions and aspirations!
Thank you so much!
Thu Le: you are not only the gifted and talented guitarist but also a lovely human. being. Thank you so much for opening yourself up and share with us the wonderful steps of your musical journey. Sincerely wish you all the bests and peace. We love you !
Thu Le, you are wonderful! You should feel proud to yourself very much. You guitars should all been proud to be with you too!
Dear Matthew, thanks for your kind words!
Beautiful story! It was hard time and difficult. I was living in Vietnam in those period years. But you are made it. Your dad and family are proud of you. Thanks a lot for sharing.
_Thank you for a beautiful story a_ *_"guitar"_* _story. For all guitarists the ones that fall in love with its sound and its portability so you can carry anywhere you wish and have fun with it and of course, you always treasure the very first one usually the cheapest one that you can get, but it held dear to your heart because it embedded your whole childhood in it....Oh! what a beautiful memory it keeps flashing through my mind I feel like I'm tasting a full spoon of condensed family love it placed me back on the bank of my childhood stream. Once again thank you for your lovely and also romantic story_
I began learning guitar 2 years ago for relax, after 2 years I realize that guitar is a big world inside 6 strings and I love it
Prettiest guitarist too.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
With her playing she's able to move me and now, listening to her story, I understand why. I'm a musician too, 61 y.o., not as good a musician as this beautiful woman but I was good enough to earn my bread for most of my life and I learnt pretty soon a lesson: you put in your music exactly who and what you are, no more, no less. So this woman had lived a lot, experienced a lot, suffered and struggled a lot to reach her dream, and her family struggled as well and made so many sacrifices to help her on her way in any way possible. And she had friends and mentors who recognised the quality within and helped her and I bet she's so grateful for all the love and support she received. We can hear all these things coming out through her hands, directly from her heart and soul and this, my friends, it's the thing that makes all the difference of the world for an artist. All my love and respect to you, Thu Le, keep on make this crazy world a better place with your beauty and your guitar. 💖
Thank you so much Alessandro for your kind words. I wish you all the best!
Thu Le, I was deeply moved by your story about your guitar. Your dedication to classical guitar is truly admirable. I hope you'll continue to share your journey with us.
Thank you so much!
I just happened across your channel today and I loved your guitar history, very interesting seeing pics of some of the guitars you grew up playing. I appreciate you and I'll look at your other videos! 😊🎼🎸👍
Hi Thu, It is a beautiful Sunday morning in Melbourne I am having my cup of coffee and listening to your story .It is very interesting story,it brings tears to my eyes when thinking of my first broken guitar that my mum picked it from the neighbor trash bin for me. i never forget the exciting feeling when i hold on to it . So now every time i feel upset with my elderly mum i think of how much she loves me on that day. Thanks for sharing your great memory.
I love your humble stories. My life was similar to yours and my parents could not afford to send me to music school or pay for private lessons. We had an old piano at home and I learned to read music when I was 7 or 8 by a relative. Then I learned the music cords too in 1980s. I think I learned so much from that old piano.
Today my day job is not related to music and I can afford an expensive grand piano. I was at a concert tonight and I saw so many parents pampered their kids which never happened to me. I played a simple piece not to show off to kids. People came to me and said I played piano so good. But I wish I could tell them how I learned the music.
Don't worry about your old guitars as long as you have a better one. They are just some wood and metals. But your daughter learned a lesson that you could have never thought her in any other way. She will always remember she broke your beloved guitar and you glued it back together. That is what mom is for!
Thanks, lovely story!!!
There was a touching story between the guitar and the giant artist Thu Le. Her story touched my heart so easily. Million thanks to Thu Le. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you!
Thu Le, thank you very much for sharing this. I am not sure why I am shedding tears. The old photos definitely remind me of my own life in Asia.
I'm in tears...what a great story.....really wonderful to see the pictures. Love that your guitar's.....no matter what the name or status mean so much to you. I have always felt the same.....my first (1970) was stolen......my second met a similar unhappy accident as yours's and became unplayable. While none were big name brands.....my guitars are precious to me......no matter what they are.....like children. I have never much understood people selling their guitars.....though I'm happy they did......because I got to buy them. I could no more sell any of my guitars than I could sell my arms legs or fingers (though sometimes I feel I should definitely sell my head).......perhaps I'm just a sentimental old fool.....but they are to me like an extension of my soul and story..... consoled me in hard times and brought much joy in happier ones.....have kept me centered in my humanity.....which is.....for better or for worse......what I am. Thank you for your lessons and inspiration and sharing your heart. You are a gem. 💖🎸💖🎼💖🌈🌈🌈
So interesting and captivating! Thu, I love these kind of personal stories! Cutest ever childhood photos! I still have my student model Ramirez that I purchased new, $440 USD (1973 when in college) from a man in Woodside California. He and his wife bought two of these guitars in Spain and brought them home thinking he would keep one and give the other to his daughter. His daughter was not interested in learning guitar thus his selling it to me. I was fortunate to know luthier John Gilbert who personally installed his signature tuners and did some other work, including putting a slight radius on the fretboard for ease of playing. I stopped playing for some years and actually was going to sell my Ramirez but thankfully my wife talked me out of it. Glad she did because I dusted off my guitar and starting playing again about 15 years later! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful guitar journey!
A long story with many adventures. What I do not get together, you look between 25 and 30 years. How come you experienced so many things.
I got my first violin at my age of 10. As we could not afford buying an instrument I borrowed a 3/4 violin from my school. After 3 years later my mother surprised me with an instrument she bought from a luthier next town. She paid 500 DM for it in 1963 (around 125 $ that time). I know it was the best possible my mother could afford. My violin teacher said it was a saxonian instrument and quite good. However I never really was content with it but I never said it. The neck was a bit narrow and I had difficulties with my thick fingers. Also the sound was a bit thin. When I was 21 I bought my own which I have till now.
My brother got a guitar but I played more with it than he did. It was fun but I never got beyond playing chords or simple melodies. It was in the late sixties and I was a big fan of Andre Segovia. However, what he did was just too high above of all I could ever dream of. But I dreamt - till now. So each time I'm listening to your play the dream comes back.
Oh, teacher! It's a very beaultful story about your trajectory wiht your guitars. I, when was a child, every day listened my cousin Ana Maria played his guitar, and I was fall in Love for the instruments. Unfortunatly, I just got a guitar when I was 16 years old, couse I was very poor, and my family didn't have money tô buy me... But, thanks God, today I can get a good instruments and sometimes I can give then to people that don't have money for it. Well, I think I stretched a lot.
Thank you só much for your wonderful videos and for the serie "Thu Lê Talks Techniks". Be careful!
My first guitar is a second-handed factory guitar which costs about $150. I bought it from my guitar teacher and I still play it. I started learning guitar in 2018 during the darkest days of my life. Each time I play guitar, I feel so happy and relaxed. I certainly can't be a guitarist, but I will keep learning and playing.
The guitar is part of Thu Le's life, a beautiful story of the accompaniment of both. Congratulations
Thank you for making us dream of your music 🇻🇳🇲🇽
What a beautiful, inspiring story. I like especially the part where you say, “But don’t worry, I didn’t yell at her” when your young daughter had the accident with your much prized guitar. It says lots about you and your precious family.
I recently purchased a very good used Spanish flamenco guitar, my first professional quality guitar, and I am following your excellent instruction, starting with tremolo technique. THANK YOU!
Great, keep practicing M!!!
Very touching and lovely story. Glad that you got the Romnich guitar from Thailand.
Thank you Thu Le for your heart warming story. I will be grateful for the guitar I have and I will get a new nylon string guitar soon. ❤
Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your story. Appreciate your sincerity. You are a true gift to the classical guitar world.
Heart touching story. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to listening to more of your excellent performance.
Thank you so much!
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo… C’était une très bonne idée de nous faire partager L’histoire de chacune de vos guitares… Une merveilleuse aventure.🥰
Thank you Chi, let the world know there is gorgeous guitarist of soul and heart in Vietnam.
It was a very emotional guitar stories, you were like a lotus flower bloomed beautifully and risen up strong from the muddy swarm in pitch darkest night...Keep going forevermore with your guitars. Hopefully your two daughters will carry on to play with such devotion on these instruments.
You are a great person and a great guitarist with heart, your renditions are smart and sensitive! .... I bought my first concert guitar two days ago, and I am still waiting for it!
How great is your journey, so interesting and inspiring. What a cute photo of your very first performance. Like yourself, I still have my very first guitar - steel string Martin copy which my brother bought for me way back in 76 from some money he owed to me. Have a couple of really nice guitars now.
Hi Thu Le,
I am a new subscriber who is fascinated by the color and style of your music.
I am truly thankful that I can listen to your performance on TH-cam rather than at a concert hall.
And I very much empathize with your grief over losing your first guitar.❤
Thanks you so much Mitsu!
My first real professional guitar took me a long time to afford. It was on layaway for almost a year. Every week when I went to the music store to make a payment I got to play it a little. My parents made the last payment and surprised me with it for Christmas. I miss those days. Thank you for reminding me how special they were.
That's cool. I had a similar experience with my first baseball glove. Best to you, Jon
Memories are one of the few things we have that are priceless .... simply because they can not be stolen and under normal circumstances not be lost. Wonderful that you cherrish them so much.
Wow ma'am, I just found this video. What an amazing story. It was wonderful to watch you story. You are a wonderful story teller. May you continue to perform for a very long time.
Thank you so much Theo!
Exudas amor a la guitarra por cada poro de tu piel, y ello se manifiesta no solo en cada nota que sale de tus dedos, sino tambien en cada palabra que pronuncian tus labios.
Eres toda una inspiración, y es un lujo escucharte. GRACIAS!!!
I salute the dedication and hardwork and your love for first guitars😊Not everyone has this except legends🙏
Your music brings great joy and peace to me, and your voice too, thank you for sharing these memories Master Thu Le.
You have more emotional talent than most guitarists you know can conceive of…
I have a fourty-years old guitar a girl bought for me when in twenties. She is my beloved whom I has been sharing my soul with for over 30 years.
I am very thankful to hear your story that will be remembered for a long while.
Thanks Charles!
Arunachala om
U are so kind.and
Came out of hard work like Lotus..
🇮🇳👌🙏
Thank you so much for sharing, Thu Le. Your stories are so moving and also inspiring. I had the same constrains growing up in Saigon after 1975 with very limited resources that my parents could afford for my education, let alone music classes. You have come a long way but never forget your difficul beginning. Please keep on the great works and contunue to inspire others! ❤
You're so gifted. It's very emotional for me to hear your story about your first guitar. I enjoy listening to your guitar playing a lot. Thank you, Thu Le. I'm very proud of you.
Thank you, Thu..., very nice and emotional video.., very beautiful memories. We all love you...🌹🌷🌺❤
Tan chảy với tâm sự của chị Thu Le! Love you!!!
I owned 3 guitars in my life.Sadly I did not pursue a goal to progress to a level of professional guitarist. I think to become such a great guitarist takes more than interest and ambition.You worked for it consistently Thu le so as to have passion for perfection. Job well done.
Beautiful story, and beautiful guitars. Such an interesting
Journey life is.
Many thanks!!
Beautiful heartfelt story of your faithful stringed companions.
Thank you for letting us know more about you Thu Le.👌
There is no doubt that the excellence you show in each composition you play is a reflection of the life you have spent dedicating to this wonderful instrument called classical guitar.🎸👏
What a nice ending .. you're right. I still dream with my perfect guitar ..
Loved the pictures :)
What beautiful memories you have - thanks for sharing them.
Wonderful story. I was emotional when I saw the photo with you and your father. I am also having two children and my son plays the classical guitar in the academy and my daughter is playing the piano and ballet for about 12 years now. I play the guitar or piano when she dance on it. We are giving sometimes performances together in cultural centra . We love music and culture and I really love your story. My best wishes to you and your dearest.
Thank you and so nice to hear that you pass on your passion to your children!!!
Your story made me so emotional as it was kind of similar to mine. My first concert guitar (around 30 USD) that i performed in your city Hanoi in 1985. I was there 3 months to practice and perform several times. That was such a beautiful memory in my life. Thanks for sharing your touched and beautiful story. ♥️♥️♥️
Very compelling story. It reminds me of my childhood. My first guitar I made it myself. I found a guitar neck in a garbage pile and proceeded to construct the body painstakingly. The sound was terrible. The strings dug deep into my fingers. But it gave me great joy. I left it behind when I migrated from Haiti to New York. However I sitll can't stop the sadness and occasional tears thinking about it. Best of luck, good health and continuing success. You are the best. From Eddy
Nice story Gabriel and thanks
Dear Thu Le.... So wonderful to hear your story. I wish not to post my life story here. I have a Brasilian guitar, signature Sergio Abreu, performed by Abreu. Maybe you have heard of Abreu? I can no longer play it, as I have now spinal problems and arthritis in my hands. However, in the hands of a master, the guitar projects very well, has very good intonation, and a very sweet sound. It is now 40 years old, has been around the world, and remains in excellent playing condition. I doubt the woods can be replaced; rosewood, pernambuco, Italian spruce, bone, etc. I have tried many brands of strings, but it sounds best with Savarez blue. Difficult to part with it, but maybe someday I will find a good home for it.
This was an exciting adventure to hear about your beginnings and struggles through the years to where you are now.
The best part for me was when your daughter dropped your first paid for guitar, a prized possession.
You chose not to scold her even when this hurt you deeply ... a very wise choice. A guitar can be replaced or fixed reguardless of the importance. A daughter cannot.
Once again you have kept me on the edge of my seat as you share these memories and the continuing growth of those 2 precious students of yours.
May God richly bless you and your family!
Hay quá Thu ơi. thế bấm của thu trên Các phím đàn rất là sáng sủa. giống như Các cao thủ guitar của thế giới.. khỏi chê vào đâu dược..
Fantastic stories. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you Maestro. How humble of you to share that lovely information with your public
Es una guitarrista superlatíva, muy brillante y muy virtuosa, me alegra haberla conocído; es una inspiración!!😊🎸🎶🎵👏👏👏
I think that behind each of our guitars there is a story to share the love we have for them. I have two guitars, a Salvador Ibañez (Valencia) since 1965, (thanks to my father for buying it) built in 1928 and a Nuñez Gran Concert 1984. Thank you Master, it is always nice to see your videos. ♪♫ ☺
Wow. I loved this video ThuLe of course I am a guy. The tremendous efforts your family makes for even the simplest instruments is very moving, I understand why they are so special to you. I would be so interested to hear more about the story of your father, I never had a chance to hear it...what an amazing man. you melted my heart
what a beautiful story , loved it ,thank you for sharing it ,
Dear Thu Le, what a beautiful story! Please consider writing a book about your life, career, making a living as a guitarist in Vietnam. It's obvious you have so much to say and you are an engaging storyteller. It will be a fascinating read!
so enjoy watching all your videos, your two little ones are so lucky to have you teach them this art. I'm just learning how to play acoustic spanish guitar and hope one day to get to your skill level.
Hola Thu Le muy interesante tu biografía y la ganas de tu padre para que seas una guitarrista clásica.
Gracias por tus videos que siempre los veo.
Tengas lindo Domingo Thu Le con tus lindas hijas y familiares.
Un saludo desde Trujillo - Perú.
What a pleasant lady and a great story teller, beside being a great guitarist...
Thu Le, This is a very compelling and captivating autobiography. Having made more than three dozens trips to Hanoi, I could imagine the scenes you described growing up with your guitars. Thank you for this delightful story. Mọi người ở khắp mọi nơi có thể nghe bài hát của bạn và sự thật tỏa sáng rực rỡ.
Love the story em ❤❤❤. I am getting a bit emotional hearing your story. Being a Vietnamese living in VN till 1981 I can feel the situation you were in. But that only makes your life as guitarist more special, overcoming all short falls and obstacles with your passion and the guidance of your dad amd teacher to become a brilliant international guitarist today is a story to treasure. I got my first guitar at 11 yrs old. It was an acoustic guitar because I liked to play and sing 😀. Only when I was 15 I fell in love with classical guitar after I heard the sound of it. My mum bought me a second hand classical guitar through a friend. It was a French made but I can't remember the brand. It came with black nylon strings. I left it back in VN with my cousins when I left. I don't know if they still have it.
What a wonderful story. Your father is a very special parent who has been crucial to your development. It is wonderful to hear such a story that underscores how important an interested father can be. But you certainly do him great honor and I'm sure he's very proud. Thu Le, you are unique and I hope you will have a wonderful life. 💝Guitar accidents most of us who have played have experienced -It was good that your daughter was not injured😋
It was so interesting to hear your story. Over the years, there was no stopping you because not only do you have a great talent - you also have a deep kindness and joy that just plain shines through. I thank you for posting these videos. Your music is an important part of my day.
Thank you!!
THANK YOU TEACHER THU LE FOR YOUR PAST HISTORY , EXCELLENT GOD BLESS YOU TEACHER ❤️🙏🙏🙏💯
Rất thích câu chốt của Thu Lê, mình có cây đàn vợ mua tặng nhân dịp Valentine cũng mấy năm rồi, và với mình đó là cây đàn hay nhất dù nó chỉ 4 triệu VND
What a wonderful story about a father’s love (and guitars). Thank you for posting it. Words I long to hear from one of my granddaughters: “Papa, will you teach me to play the guitar?” Sadly, I’m still waiting.
Hello,
Very nice story, my first guitar was given to me by my brother who passed 10 years ago. He found it in front of a house on the ground, it was in a pretty good condition insite it's box.
So i was quite happy and play it for more than 15 years. As i was playing with a friend in his house, i had to go and let the guitar just for a couple of days but he never give me back this guitar and disappear with it. Tried to found him but with no success. I'll never forget this guitar and still now, i'm thinking.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful family stories. I am lucky to own several electric and acoustic guitars including my first acoustic (40 years old now!). Almost all of them have a special story... some purchased on remembrance of a family member others used in performing. Anyway, thx again... always enjoy your videos.
Wow Thu Le so very proud of you for coming through all this adversity and the difficulty involved being from a ,not so wealthy family but perseverance and hard work hasn't stopped you achieving your dreamed of goals,I wish you the greatest success you so richly deserve in all your endeavours and yours is a serious lesson for us bless you.❤
Thank you so much Tim!!!
I still keep my first guitar my parents bought me when i was in primary school in 1989. I just play for half year on that time because the guitar teacher left us 😭
Then i play guitar again when i was in college about 1998 for 2-3years with private teacher.
Today i’m 42yrs, during lockdown pandemic i play guitar again from last year until now..
I hope one day i can play guitar as beautiful tone as yours 😄
Rất thú vị những gì bạn kể về thời thơ ấu của bạn và luôn luôn là những gì cha bạn đề nghị bạn trở thành một nghệ sĩ guitar cổ điển lấp đầy trái tim của chúng tôi. Một lời chào lớn từ Peru và có một ngày chủ nhật tốt lành.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful guitar journey! The struggle your family had to went through in order to give you the best 💖✨!
I have a secondhand Antonio Marin Montero 1978 No.212. Borrowed money from my grandparents to buy it which I paid back! I’m now 63. Hopefully wishing my grandchild will play the guitar! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your guitar stories, I loved it.
Thanks for listening
Great stories Thu Le, My guitar stories wasn't even better than yours. My first cheap guitar brand after a motorcycle, Kawasaki. that always out of tune. My first guitar teacher was my uncle that has very limited guitar skill, I can't afford to get to a private course at music school. So I figure out pretty much everything by myself back then no internet era. My grandpa gave me money to buy my first cheap electric guitar (Prince) still have it today and re-build it after Eddie Van Halen Frankernstrat. Now I afford to buy some guitars. I had 4 electric guitars, 1 bass and 1 acoustic guitar. If there was a branded on my guitar, it's not a premium expensive one that I own and I love them all :)
Thanks Thu Le for sharing your story, I really enjoyed it. You are a classical guitar super star and you can make any guitar sound good even if it is broken. I wish you were around 40 years ago to be my classical guitar teacher. I stopped playing the guitar many years ago and as I am retired now I am getting back into it again but can only hope to be as good as you in my next life.😀. My father was a good classical guitarist but didn't have the time to teach me. I played the electric guitar and toured with bands in the 70's until the late 90's. I will be watching more of your videos to get some tips bust mostly for enjoyment. Keep up the great work, you are a legend.❤
Thanks Johann!!!
Wow sounds amazing wow.
What a beautiful story/journey. Apart from the guitars it shows the dedication, passion and determination necessary to achieve goals no matter what they are and how much raw talent you have. I also learnt that guitars come in different sizes even when they are “full” sized. Thank you for your inspirational story.
He aprendido mucho de usted. Le deseo siempre lo mejor
Incredible narrative , of a woman who let her fingers do the talking!
I’ve just started learning guitar at 63!, 😂
Have a Yamaha NT1
But wish to get a more traditional classical guitar , it u til then, I’ll keep watching Thu Le instruction videos .
I cried and I got inspired by you. Thanks for sharing your history with us 🥰🥰🥰
Muy interesante tu historia de vida Thu, con el apoyo de tus padres, dedicación y talento has logrado alcanzar el podio de los mejores guitarristas del mundo. Es un placer escuchar tus interpretaciones, felicitaciones!!!
Muy lindo el consejo final. Gracias estimada Thu Le, un abrazo.
Muchas gracias!
Touching and Inspiring !!! Thanks Thu 🙏
