My son took a master class with Xavier. He is a gentleman, a teacher, and an incredible artist. Made a real impression on my son. Isn't that what it's all about?
You know, I don't care that they're a few little blips here and there, a few incorrect pressures on frets, this is THE BEST I've heard this be played. Just EVERYTHING about it. So much soul. Like VELVET! God that was so beautiful. I now listen to this almost every day hahaha.
Does it get better than this? I dont think so. This kid is gifted beyond belief. He's only been playing ten years. If you know classical guitar, you know thats no time at all. It's miraculous.
Great guitarist...passion, phrasing....can turn notes into music (not as common as it seems)....this guy is a real pleasure to listen to...thank you for posting!
I love your playing Xavier, you really seen to play music from your heart and express it so beautifully. I am also amazed at how you can literally cover half the length of the fingerboard with those big hands 😃 that is some incredible technique that you have developed! Please come and visit New Zealand sometime!
Hola Xavier, me fascinó encontrarte en You tube!!! Eres un joven talentoso!!, Interpretas con el alma. Visita Chile para ir a escucharte en vivo!! saludos
@@rtensor Well it's similiar to cello technique... I don't know of any mainstream use at all, also similiar to how modern guitarists do downward chromatic runs with a single finger gliding down the neck
Hello Xavier! Very nice performance of this Scarlatti K.380. Your arrangement is quite special. If i see and hear right you use an alternative tuning (sixth string D) in combination with the capo in position 2, so that "E" on sixth string remains open. Is your arrangement possibly availble? Best regards from Holland.
Reli Suyskens I think this is David Russell's arrangement, but played with a capo and dropped D as you identified. I've been learning this piece myself, using the same version, but I've edited it to my own liking. There is a difficult section in the second half, which Williams takes down an octave. It's a great piece.
I don't think that the performer was ready for K380; especially technically. The mordents are the cream of this piece and they are very challenging on the guitar. Ida Presti is the only mortal known to me who may have gotten them right. Nonetheless, a promising young musician.
