Hannah Rocks!
This piece is malevolent and scary..
Wow you’re bending and slapping inside your classical style love it

[DorothyOzmaLover]

The way those harmonics are performed to open the music is so wonderfully artful and your musicianship is true class.

Excellent Bravo! Koshkin would be proud!

[nelsonsoucasaux]

Absolutely superb composition and interpretation and, yes... really spooky and dark, as the inspirational theme requires. It's really a dark waltz ! And I think that's one of first pieces for classical guitar that I listen to and watch being played that incorporates electric guitar techniques, as powerful bendings, vibratos and others ( I play and compose solo electric guitar pieces ). Congratulations !

This is my favorite Usher Waltz performance on YouTube. Love your guitar too! I must take a look at these David Pace guitars. But your playing truly is breathtaking.
