Hey y'all!
Thank you for all the love on the newest video, I couldn't be happier honestly.
Here's the story of how I created this concept and got Ichika to jump on. Basically me talking for 20 minutes about this year long process 😂
I was a bit tired when shooting this video, whole April is mad busy, so forgive me if I seem out of it :))

Here's the first "official" collab on my channel ❤️ What do you think?
I wrote the tabs for my sections, they are attached.
I am super busy this month, and I thought that instead of an analysis or anything I'll make a behind the scenes video of how we collaborated on this song, and about the whole process. That should be pretty soon.
Love!

When he was younger, my dad ran a few marathons - and his finish time was lower than the length of this stream - so saying it was a marathon is literally an understatement 😂
Thank you all for coming! To those who performed for us - awesome job, it's always a blast. And to those who came simply for the first part, I hope you liked it ⚡️ See you in a month!

Heyy!
I'm feeling really great today: I'm definitely all healthy now; it's the second night in a row that I watch a Studio Ghibli movie; and I bought a new carpet for my living room - truly a once in a lifetime day 😂 The only thing that could make this week better is if there was a livestream... oh wait, it's coming up on Thursday 🤯
Hey y'all,
I'm feeling much better today. Thank you for all the wishes, it's all super heartwarming ❤️
As requested here's a behind the scenes look at both audio and video of Toccata. The whole process of making it explained (+ some rambling), and also a quick tour of the garage where I shoot some of my videos.. for some reason.
Enjoy, see you soon!

Hi all,
Yesterday I started feeling a bit under the weather, but nothing major at all and I was expecting to be all good today. Well unfortunately turns out I have a full on cold now, fever and everything.. and combined with the spring allergies coming to me I just can't imagine having the stream this Sunday. It's nothing serious I'm sure, but still I do not feel able to work and play nor...

It's high time to schedule this month's stream, but I'm facing a weird dilemma since the end of the month falls far from a weekend. We can either have the stream happen this Sunday, or next week on Thursday. The time on either day would be 5pm CET.
To me both days work equally well, so I thought we can solve this democratically :) If both days work for you you can vote t...

Today we wrapped up Classical Spectacular - not only was it my first time playing at the Royal Albert Hall (duh), but also my UK debut.
I'm super stoked with how it went, I couldn't ask for a better time. The 7th show concluded today, and I shot a quick behind the scenes for all of you right after getting off stage.
Enjoy!

As promised here are the tabs to my recent electric arrangement of Tears In Heaven ❤️
It should also be possible to play on an acoustic, although not as comfortably... Enjoy!
Tab files are attached.
Hi in March!
This week I was assembling my new live show setup, which will be used among others in Royal Albert Hall soon - here's how it works.
This video came out a bit geeky - next one should be a behind the scenes of Toccata :)

Thank you all so much as always for you support and for coming around. I hope you enjoyed this month's stream ☺️
Really sorry for the audio issues initially, and for the hiccups along the way - so mad at that 😭 No excuses there, but still I hoped it was enjoyable though!
Huge congrats to everyone who played (and did magic!) for us this time, super impressive as always.

Hi all, there’s a weird bug in my Zoom, I’m trying to fix it asap.
It was literally working well for the past 20 minutes 😭
Have to delay the stream by 10 min.

Hey!
Right after I finished recording the recent flamenco arrangement I also shot this quick explanation/tutorial. It's not as in depth as usual, but if any of you were curious how to play it here it is.
I wasn't to sure about posting this, but since the reception of this arrangement was so positive, and also since I couldn't record anything new this week, hope you like this!

Hey!
Here is the sheet music for my recent flamenco/classical arrangement of Nothing Else Matters. It's one of my favorite short videos I've done this year so far, so I'm really happy to share the tabs with y'all. This can also be played on a steel string acoustic guitar, but definitely I recommend to use a nylon string.
I shot a quick tutorial too, coming up soon!

Heyy!
I just got my flamenco guitar back from my family house, and I thought I'd share my journey learning the style, as well as some techniques, and stories (like how I bought the guitar, who made it, what my teacher was like etc.)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Enjoy this breakdown of the first half of my newest arrangement - Toccata.
Second part will be out very soon. Also working on some more chill stuff for Patreon.
On that note, feel free to give me any suggestions for the less analytical content you want to see :)
Cheers!

More things to come, for now take a look at these pics from the day of the shoot 🖤
Yoyoyooo,
I thought there was enough of analytical talk and tabs as of late, so here's me talking for 20 minutes about how exactly we came up with and recorded the official video for Kashmir.
It's probably my favorite official video (for now), and it was a really cool experience making it with Mortvideo.
In the vid I talk about how we scouted the location, who's in my re...

It's my absolute pleasure to share two tabs of my short arrangements, tabbed fully by a patron - Max Martinez!
Max is a total boss, because he wanted tabs for those pieces, they weren't available, so he literally wrote them himself.. Super impressive stuff - takes great ears, and great discipline to put it down into tabs so well. Congrats to Max!

Here's the 2nd part of my Asturias breakdown, here especially I talk about more non-guitar things, like the idea I used while "jazzifying" the slow part, and rhythmic approaches in the harmonic tapping part.
Enjoy!
Let me know what you want to see next.

Heyyyyy!
Here's an overview of my arrangement of Asturias. I talk about how I approach arranging it, also from a non guitar perspective, and about all of the techniques I use.
I think this one came out super cool, and I talked about a bunch of really important things. Second part is coming up now.

I also talk about how I learned these techniques under my teac...

-Picking parts of phrases to make wild.
