Latin Fingerstyle On A Classical Guitar

For this video I'm venturing off the classical path with an awesome fusion piece called "Cielo Abierto" by Quique Sinesi! 

The Argentinian guitarist and composer is famous for his unique and innovative style that successfully combines Tango, Jazz and Classical Music. "Cielo Abierto" (Open Sky) incorporates percussive techniques typically seen in Acoustic Fingerstyle music. It was incredible fun to prepare and play this composition! Hope you enjoy it, too!

Stephanie Jones is one of the most talented musicians in the world. She plays to the ear. Many very talented musicians get lost in demonstrating the depths of the musical talents and skill yet fail to make music that is pleasing to the ear. Stephanie's music is very much "musical". She underplays to her ability in an effort to make music sound beautiful. She is a genius.

For non guitarists you have no idea how difficult this is to play and the years of training and practice it takes. This young lady is very talented.

Falling into this it’s like a YouTube’s award to a viewer.
She’s from another dimension.

It took me 60 years to realise I would never be able to play even a shadow of this and now I can sit back and enjoy listening to someone else play without
a hint of regret.

[macrumpton]

Every time I come back to listen to this it impresses me all over again.

[paohermosin]

You play so beautifully! Thanks for sharing!!

[Scentofrain.]

The beauty of your playing literally made me weep. The obvious devotion and passion you have for your art is helping renew my badly damaged faith in humanity.

[edwardmorton]

Excellent playing.. brilliant sense of rhythm and an amazing technique. Such a relief to know that classical guitar is in pretty safe hand for the foreseeable future and beyond.

[davegallagher]

Such an incredible musician. Her passion comes from the deepest recesses of her heart. There are really few like her.

[bbandthegroove]

i pretty much never comment on things, don't engage on these sort of forums - that being said:
Precision all too often sacrifices emotion - and emotion, precision. This is truly... breathtaking. I can think of no other word. Flawless execution, and more feeling than I can almost bear. Truly ascendant.


Thanks for this - it literally changed my day.

Delighted as argentinian just to listen such a beautiful interpretation of a great aregentinian composer.
By the way, for all guitar lovers, don't you miss "Invierno Porteño" played by Stephanie

Finally a classical guitarist stepping out of the box! And setting new standards for all of us. Thank you Stephanie Jones!

Uh, the drum solo here totally blew me away.
I've seen numerous SJ videos, (and good gawd is she excellent) but I was NOT expecting that.
It's tough enough to be flawless with a phrase, or a rhythm, but to transition like she does without hesitation is truly awe-inspiring.
She breathes guitar.
(I hiccup a little at a time, lol.)

[thiago-caz]

It's really mature, isn't it? Perfect technique allied with feeling, groove. I'd love to see her live one day!

[ericwilliams]

Being a die hard metal head, I think this is the most bad ass playing that I have ever seen!!! Most metal guitar players would kill to be able to play like you!!!

[gilbertorosales]

Astonishing performance...She is a GREAT GUITAR PLAYER...quite UNIQUE...

[rayian]

I listened to the entire "Open Sky" album earlier today. which includes this piece.
Stephanie, I absolutely love your energy. I'm blown away
