I was at the concert at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Saturday evening. It was stunning! Maestro, your joy of playing the guitar and great music was evident to all of us! It was, by far, the finest guitar concert I have ever attended! I truly believe that I experienced one of the finest classical guitarist in the world! My only regret is that I had to miss playing at the masterclass that morning due to a prior scheduled rehearsal! Bravo, Dr. Harb!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching and listening to you playing this Bach piece, which you played so beautifully and with such great passion and empathy too.
Killer fucking playing bro super clean, as is expected when playing such pieces lol. Awesome bro, refreshing to see a young caucasian play something other than metal, and im a metal head for gods sake, have to admit i liked it more when it was little more obscure, as everyone was doing for the love of it, and not the payday.
