Not negative, started out by saying "sorry to say", and yes, you need to work with a metronome, that's fine, so do I. I don't have to beg for attention, no prob. I'm actually responding to the people that are mad at me for saying your tempo needs work. I'll go away now, no bother, enjoy!

Why not stop putting negative comments here and start putting positive comments on Grisha's videos. He IS great and an inspiration to me. I don't put videos here to prove anything...I'm just a guy that likes to play. Seem like your just begging for attention and your jealous of the attention I am getting. Already I have 5 or 6 comments just from you.

I'm just someone out here telling the truth, sorry. There's so much fluff in the comment section here, not one negative comment, except for mine. John I love that you love guitar, but you are not great master! That's okay, either am I. But have a little humility. Have you seen Grisha? He IS a master, flamenco player from Russia, he's REALLY awesome and people bust on him all the time. This is a free market and you can do whatever, but yikes! Grisha was only 19 in some of those videos!

who are you? are you tarrega or andres segóvia?just live and let others live, ok? that´s better for all of us

newthings158 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean or anything, I look at a lot of videos and rarely comment. But this is really weird, John are you making all of these comments yourself from different addresses? Because you're okay, just. Now I'm not that much better (with right hand fingers, working on it) but I don't have rows of people calling me a beautiful master either when I know I'm not. Your technique is really sloppy and you need much more work, sorry to burst bubble...

Are these all your friends? Ha ha! 7 thumbs down, I've never had that before, sort of elated...

newthings158 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Yes, I think I did explain. What I mean, I'll say it again, is that his tempo is embarrassing, sorry! I love it when people love music, so in a way I love this guy, but he's got a shop on line, he's teaching when he should really give it a few more years even though who am I to say when somebody is allowed to teach..? The constructive criticism; go and practice with a metronome, a lot! And stop making esoteric pieces out of just a major 7 arpeggio! Egad, some humility!

Care to at least explain what you mean instead of just throwing that out there? I'm sure he could appreciate constructive feedback as opposed to saying something is awful without explaination.

love the music...well done !!

newthings158 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I'm sorry to say this, I'm not a hateful person, but you need to close the store for a while and go back and practice, your tempo is awful! Sorry.
