That was so much fun! I sat with guitar in hand and played along with you, and it was like I was getting a masterclass (except without the nerves). I already know the piece fairly well, but I think that brought it up a level or two for me. Thank you so much!

Its been great to watch you progress over the last year or so, Eric. Not surprised to see you dropping a line here. You have great taste, after all. Cheers, friend.

This is a very nice approach. Most guitarists edit every duff note out of their videos (even their instructional videos) so that they sound superhuman, so it must take courage to put your practice on display. It's very informative to hear a fine guitarist like you being frank about the challenges so we can hear how you overcome them.

I could listen to this for hours. Hearing you practice is so much more satisfying than hearing me practice!

Your enthusiasm for the nuances in the notation is inspiring. A lot of people in our modern world think classical music is boring but that is just so far from the truth. You really embody the magic of this music, Alex. Thanks for sharing these deep dives.

I haven’t heard you play in awhile, Alexandra. I began to forget how well you play and why I appreciate your musicianship so much. Forgive me; I’m old. Thank you for today. It’s nice to be reminded what a wonderful player you are.

I was playing a Sor etude on a classical guitar for sale, and the salesman walked up and said, "so you're a classical player?" I replied, no, I'm a classical student. He said he knew just what I meant. ... I'm very glad to find you, Alex. Congratulations on your accomplishments.

What a joy to watch your thought process. And what a lesson for us all, that there is SO much more to executing a piece of music than just playing the notes on the score. Your interpretation and musicality here are breathtaking.

I've admired Flamenco from afar and very infrequently over the years. The stresses of long Covid brought me a lot closer and I listen to street performers mainly on here every day and they lull me to sleep most nights . I find it more authentic than concert hall performances somehow. I find your style and teaching very easy on the ear however. Beautiful piece ofcourse. Thank you. You have a great skill, enjoy and be very proud.

Caprixo Arabe is a piece that I really like, thanks for sharing the reading of its playing and its beauty. Music must be taught since childhood because our human beauty makes it appear with it. Thank you very much Alexandra.

Wow instant subscribe! What an amazing gift to sit with you and the music and learn this. I learnt the intro and A section really well recently but the B section or whatever you pros call it stumped me as I’m still very much an amateur classical guitarist. Thank you so much I’ll do this tonight.

Thanks a lot for sharing your in depth view of this piece. I havent seen anything like this before. As a beginner i am often times oblivious to the details you mentioned. It seems one is expected to either have the insight or not. But if noone ever points out the little things its unlikely to notice them. Especially when its not the kind of music you listen to on a regular basis.
