The whole piece is 22 minutes long, hope you get to see more of it soon.

But thanks nonetheless, the ending went just about alright!

Oh my gosh, that was just beyond fantastic. Wonderful job!
I could just sit and listen to/watch someone play the guitar for hours, so I quite enjoyed watching/hearing that.
That is a lovely sounding piece too, by the way. Very, very nice.

Again, fantastic job! :thumb:

I hope to hear more soon(get with it people! ;) )

Indeed Fingernail, I had no idea you were performing at that level. Have you played any pieces by Augustine Barrios? I've been seeing if I can play Julia Florida, which is probably not a good idea if you've had no training...

Just for you I played a bit of Las Abejas (the bees):

So, 'nail did smash the guitar afterall?

Seriously Medlar, we appreciate the effort.

Could TTLG host it perhaps?

(www.youtube.com) is a lot less uptight, or at least it'll take weeks til they take it down, place has been full with kickass live concerts and stuff for as long as I can remember.

Haven't really been around much since the competition.. just got a chance to hear what Medlar managed to post to Google.

Wow... that was awesome. As another lifelong musician (we seem to have a lot of musicians here... another great thing), that was an excellent performance. Poised, collected, professional, confidant. wow.

Fingernail, not many people get to "be there"... you got there already and did a kick-ass job.
I, too, really need to see the whole thing... damn BBC legalistic BS.

@Medlar... thanks for doing what you could to let us at least see part of this event. I appreciate it.

TTLG can't, we've not got the bandwidth available, however depending on the size I could probably host it myself.

So Medlar, how big is it?
