How could one live without this lovely music
Thank you so much for this beautiful gift. I'm Scottish and have heard this tune so often throughout my long life but never so delicately expressed. I genuinely shed a tear.
A Lively scottish tune. Goes so well with Alexandras charmlng english accent, her såning fon instead of fun, so Nice.
Beautiful, suspenseful phrasing. Occasionally, she is behind the beat just the perfect fraction of an instant. Building interest as the note rides to the rescue right before the soul notices its absence.
I can’t help but love the melodies of Scottish folklore. There’s something about them that just caresses one’s ears and heart. And so does your playing. You give a soul to any piece you play.
... Like a painting taken out of time: the beauty of a princess, beautiful music, an excellent choice ... magnificent! ...
I've listened to a few of your pieces now, after discovering you only yesterday. You blow me away with the feeling you generate, you can tell when a performer understands and okays from their heart. I listen a lot to Estes Tonne, who I've followed when he was a busker. You have the same gift of light within music. 😎☯️🌹
Oh the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather. Will ye go lassie go.
Dear Alexandra, this song was a delight for the soul. We need much more of this. The scene outside fitted perfectly. Thanks a lot.
Soothing arrangement of the Scottish/Irish folk song. We need tranquility especially now with the virus. Thank you Alexandra!
SUPER WOW!!!
Alexandra is such an amazing guitarist and person. I find this piece so moving. So many videos on KZread on guitar playing, but Alexandra is one of the few I’ve see who demonstrates the beauty of. the nylon-string classical guitar.
This rendition of this classic is the best I have ever heard... Alexandra your playing is divine...
Goosebumps .... it slips under my skin and makes me thinking of wonderful times in the past with my parents.... ⭐
Hiya Alexandra, a really lovely interpretation of a classic. Thanks very much and stay well. David 😎🎶🎸🇬🇧
At times like this, only one thing to say... thank you Alexandra
Purity, talent, delicacy define you. Each sequence of notes is a word from your heart. Thanks!
A glass of wine, a beautiful women and music played so well to move an old man to tears, thank you. Love listening to your Passion.
I’ve never liked playing acoustic guitars but I love the sound of them being played professionally.

Hello Alexandra, I’ve been playing electric guitars since the beginning of 1966 and I’m an outright electric guitar freak and I will never change but I adore listening to Spanish guitar music and your version of Asturias knocks me out. The American group the Doors used this piece of music on their song called Spanish caravan on the Doors album called waiting for the sun. I wouldn’t know if you have ever heard it but in my opinion it is incredibly good. No disrespect to you you but I’ve also been listening to Gabriella Qauvado for many years and she is also like you incredibly talented. Please keep safe during this awful time in our World and please keep posting your beautiful guitar playing. Peter. As a matter of interest I’ve just released my new album called Peter Newman’s greatest hits volume 24, Please check it out.

This is a classical guitar. Acoustic guitars have steel strings, classical guitar have nylon.
I want to learn to play like this for love. Music is a beautiful way to express feelings that do not have words. You are an inspiration. Cheers and play on!
Terrific.....x
I bought the Guitar, had the lessons and dedicated the time but unfortunately I just don't have what it takes........So listening to you is a real pleasure that I greatly appreciate. Stay safe everyone.

Trust me, that's how most everyone feels. There's no one who doesn't 'have what it takes' to play guitar. I had one in my house for 2 years before I started playing and now I major in classical guitar. If you don't want to play it then that's completely fine, but if you genuinely want to play then the only thing stopping you is yourself.

Classical guitar involves dedication and hard work. You're not going to run a sub 3 hour marathon on minimal practice, same with classical guitar. Start easy, get the basics right and keep working at it.

Charlie Parker claimed to practice 16 hours a day, it all just depends on how badly you want to be great at something
Brought tears to my eyes, real playing. Thank you.
Few artists put a smile on my face every time I listen to them. Thank you and may God give many years to develop and share your amazing talent.
Very good. I love classical guitar❤️

I had to set my guitar down and just listen. So graceful. Many thanks for adding beauty to the world.

*Wonderful!*
Lovely. Thanks Ale.
Lovely! Thank you.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!
This is just what we all need. Thank you, sweetie.
Mesmerizing!
What a shocker that she would be able to negotiate her way through this simple, lovely tune. (And you won't hear it played any better.) But here's the irony: tunes like this will resonate at least ten times more with the overall masses than will some of the more obscure minefield extremely difficult classical pieces she plays. Those pieces are fun to watch - granted - and I always wonder how on earth she has it in her to do it. You have to see it to believe it...and I still don't. The finger stretches, the accuracy, the technique, the speed...the whole nine yards - it's something to watch. But those pieces generally lack soul...heart... But do they make up for it with impossible pyrotechnics? For me, the answer is no. But again, it's a trip watching a mortal do the immortal. But _make me cry_ the way Macyn Taylor does with "The Fisherman."
Till now, it still nice to hear, emotionally healing🙂👍
This is so peaceful, I love it.
J'adore !! Bravo !!
I still love this everytime I see and hear this
Alexandra, your guitar sings this song as beautifully as the voice of an angel. You have been added to my list of cultural treasures.
