This piece is a relatively modern piece, believed to have been composed in 1896. No, it is not medieval, but it predates vinyl records, radio music broadcasts, and television... which is why it would be so impactful for a listener. @@Zepego-jk2iz

Mr Acker, I stumbled upon this video 16 months ago which, at 70 years old, inspired me to learn acoustic guitar. I had no previous experience of any musical instrument whatsoever, but I thought "wouldn't it be amazing to play like that". I've now had 16 months of weekly live lessons of 1 hour from a fantastic tutor. I've learnt music theory and I'm well on my way to playing jazz, and I love it! I know the years may catch up with me before I'm any good at Spanish guitar, but at least I have a new goal in life. A huge thank you Brandon 🤗🇬🇧

Quando, circa mezzo secolo fa, ero un ragazzino che prendeva lezioni di chitarra classica, questo brano mi incantava e mi ero ripromesso di diventare abbastanza bravo da suonarlo. Avevo ahimè sottovalutato la difficoltà del pezzo (o sopravvalutato le mie povere dita sghimbesce) e non sono mai riuscito a realizzare quel sogno di bambino. Ma sentirlo suonare dalle tue mani sapienti, mi restituisce intatta quell'emozione di allora... Grazie di cuore Brandon, spero che tu riesca a toccare ed emozionare il cuore di altri giovani più capaci del sottoscritto, come stai riscaldando ora il mio cuore attempato

I played this for my guitar recital to graduate as part of my repertoire. This was the only piece I felt a close connection with simply because of how beautifully it was composed. To me, the transitions from minor to major throughout the piece portrays the ups and downs in life with the tremolo being the constant and continuous breaths that we take. And last but not the least, the piece ends on a "major key"(positivity prevails) . Tarrega was a Legend.

Just WOW ... four reasons: one: here, you prove your advice on an even tremolo. Two: you overcome the fretboard to produce an always legato, easily separated, melody line in both voices; three--What flow! ... no discernible position sound breaks! Three: the thumb/bass line stands so clear. And four: the treble then becomes so easy to listen to, separately and harmonically. Okay, and five: your (if-I-dare) rubato endows greatness to the piece that I've always hoped for. WOW, bravo! . . . .

I was literally practising this seconds before giving my hand a rest and stumbling upon your video. Spectacular! Your tremolo is stunning and your playing is full of expression and control. You’re a fantastic player! Liked and subscribed :)

I've not yet been to Spain, but I feel like this piece beautifully and perfectly encapsulates what it's like to take a stroll through its ancient towns or its breathtaking countryside.

Indeed, and more precisely strolling across the gardens and courtyards of the Alhambra and hearing the gentle noise of the many fountains ...

i close my eyes and i can see gaudi's pinnacles spiraling to the sky; the plains of andalusia and its horses running distant; the sun rising behind a villa overlooking the Mediterranean sea.

I have to say that Brandon REALLY UNDERSTANDS this piece. This is playing beyond technical excellence, he's telling a story.

Una de las mejores versiones que he escuchado. Refleja muy bien la emoción y la nostalgia de la pieza musical por la ciudad de Granada y por su Alhambra ¡Enhorabuena,!

I've been a bit overwhelmed with work and life in general recently. In days like these it's so good to have little places where you can find comfort. I knew I'd find it here, by this hauntingly beautiful piece and your impeccable playing. Thank you so much!

The way that Spaniards play the guitar is unique, for the simple fact that they don't play the guitar with their hands, they play it with their heart, and when one begins to learn to play the Spanish guitar, it is understood. You not only have to learn to touch it, but to understand it as if it were part of your body. A great greeting from a Spaniard, a very good video with a lot of passion !! I recommend that you see a lot of Paco de Lucia, the greatest guitarist there has been on earth at a level higher than anyone you can ever see. Greetings and blessings!

One instrument and a divine player. Shows what we've truly missed in the era of DAWs and synthesized music, without any soul. Brandon is our figurative lodestar who shows what great music from the far ages is truly the panacea to our yearning soul.. Brandon is truly doing God's work here.

The crematoria in my city have bern ablaze for the last few days, wherever I turn there are wails of despair and cries of grief... The dead are piling up, one over the other remorselessly... I had been shocked and numbed by this onslaught of grief, but this piece helped me cry. Thank you. We need you, now more than ever. Stay safe, keep us in your prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽
