I think you are referring to "music technicians" Jon. Those whose musical etchings are NOT "pleasing to the ear" just aren't listened to as much. Plus, different TYPES of sounds can also "sound" beautiful, depending on the levels OF appreciation of the listener's personal experience. I'd say her abilities lie moreover in her abilities to "Please different genres" of music lovers, in general, while, obviously having her specialties in classical. I WISH SHE WOULD HIRE A SECRETARY to attend to some of the details of her viewers ; I hope she responds to YOURS.

agree , she is special ( i dont talk about guitar skills ) , she sounds diferent , i cant explain , she is unique , im older than old of you...i heard ( many of them personally ) the best guitarrist of the world , the best ones.....she is special....

She didn't compose this.

Yes. But we are commenting on the performance. @@ericsierra-franco7802

That's the best way to see it... Enjoy! :-)

@Toadywefly After watching this piece (twice!) and just watching the sheer technical prowess she has, I was lamenting to my wife that I would never be as good of a player as this. At 47, I don't have the dexterity I used to like I was in my 20's, and my brain isn't as fast as it used to be (not to mention all of the other commitments in life that I have). To paraphrase another commenter above "I could practice 26 hours a day and still not be half as good as this". It still makes me sad, as I would love to be able to play music like this, and especially share it with others.

@@willyspanish .And the notes one

humanity and hope for music

Me too, just before I read your comment. And not the first time she has brought tears

I can't imagine how difficult this is to play. And she looks so damned relaxed! LOL. Wonderful playing. She is my new favorite classical guitarist!

And on top that, i add ... still a beautifull lady! OMG!

What would you suggest to learn as a beginner? Gotta start somewhere

That's for sure. She plays very well.

Don't need to know how to play - you can easily tell the degree of mastery required to play the instrument at that level. Amazingly talented!

sj , is a breathe of fresh air

I think this video has its speed increased a little (about 1,2X). You can see it more clearly at 3:57, in the movement of the vegetation outside the studio.

Try any of her vids. You can’t fail. Every one is unique. Great arrangements make music entertaining. She has great arrangements. I could fall in love. But I’m an old man. 🧐

Me too! I wasn't expecting that when she went to the back of the guitar. I was smiling from ear to ear!

@@Skeftomai Disagree

Exactly my thoughts!

amen, play on

Yes it is, also check out Marcin, he is an amazing player.

These aren't classical techniques though. (Edit: or at least I don't think they are.) I've never seen a classical guitar player move their hands that much. The intonation also isn't as acute as most classical performances. There are brief moments, so brief its the strum of a single chord, where she's forceful and it reminds me of flamenco, but I see no pulgar, or picado, or anything indicative of flamenco. Personally though I've never heard of "Latin picking", so maybe it's a tradition all of it's own?

@@gyozanomics think of it as breaking new ground! Or Jazz.

I’m a guitarist and a scientist. I pride myself in being an informed intellectual. My knowledge of classic guitar is by no means exhaustive but I, personally don’t know of a more technically proficient or more emotive player than SJ.

I absolutely agree - let me also recommend a French female guitarist; Gaëlle Solal

Didn't know you knew her so well. How deep are the recesses of her heart, may I ask you?

this music have a ton of virtuosity and futuristic feels, amazing

How does she set new standards?

Well said

👏🏽

Couldn't word it any better, was a fantastic interpretation of the story.

bbandthegroove “Ascendant.” Good word to describe this.

Transcendant!

Marvelous

Sorry, Ricardo, word is Argentine (English/international) or Argentino (Spanish), not the slavishly-copied GERMAN: "Argenentinian." . . . Learn your own language!

@@TalentedDilittante Argenentinian, is to complicate thinks.

@@TalentedDilittante 1st) I wrote Argentinian, not "Argenentinian". 2nd) Both Argentine and Argentinian are correct in English: "Argentinian - of or relating to or characteristic of Argentina or its people" is the definition from Thesaurus and Cite Dictionary. 3rd) "My own" language is Spanish. 4th) I write my comments in English in order to be understood by an international community and share my feelings and opinions about music. I appreciate every feedback related with the content of my comments. 5th) Since English is not my native language, I'm expected to make some mistakes. So, a message intended only to remark an alleged mistake, which was not even a mistake, is not welcome. Sorry, Douglas, should you have something to say about Quique Sinesi, Stephanie Jones, Piazzolla, guitars, or any related topic, I would be happy to hear it.

soy solo una replica de mi mismo

Sad but very true!:)

*badass not bad ass But true^^

@@bluesigma7122 good observation. That's likely NOT the case (if Ms. Jones has ANY Latin in her:) lol

Any metal fan should listen to Paco de Lucia, it's a real treat dude, I highly recommend it, watch out for 1:32* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zruoe8xkuK_WgJs.html

Agreed, I wish I'd appreciated this sort of thing more when I was younger

Uh, so do you; to put it mildly.

baia baia, miren quién está aquí

@@nickparsons337 :)

Same to you🌹

Brilliant, very pithy & powerful!

I literally thought of Kara the second I saw the thumbnail. Luckily I love and play music so this was an incredible video for much more than just how beautiful Stephanie is :D

The same as you 😁

me too......

@@sriatmas Kara is one of the main characters in Detroit: Become Human. The layout and colors of this thumbnail really highlighted the resemblance.

Wow nice objectifying her
