    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.

    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. 😎☯️🌹

    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.

    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.

    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."
