Tasty indeed! Well, you're just phenomenally musical, no question. You play your classical intro with beautiful expressiveness (I'd like to hear you play some Tarrega some time!), then move into the swing feel incredibly naturally, as thought the two styles were always meant to coexist. The way you play them, they do! Bravo! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

I used to LOVE playing Tarrega. He really knew how to write for the guitar. I'm a little mad at him though- it was his transcription of Malat's "Sereneta Espanola" that started my left hand on this weird nerve problem.I'm really flattered that you like my playing- I am a huge admirer of yours!

Wonderful playing as always Mark, but also the tone you get is all your own. I loved the classical part at the start and as has been said, the way you just move seamlessly into Jazz, Wonderful, regards M Check out my latest song called Come Back Billie

Thanks I like messing with stuff like this- there are people who do stuff like this WAY better than I do (Martin Taylor,Joe Pass,Lenny Breau,Ted Greene,etc.)I don't think I'm quite at the genius level yet.

Mark, I've come to decide that its not your recordings but my ears that are a little dull (from an audio point of view of course, your playing is NEVER dull!) at times :) This is really beautiful - not sure what else I can say.

delicate, yet forceful There's such a light touch that the forceful movement of this swinging piece sneaks up on you almost unnoticed, but it's undeniably there. The coordination involved that it takes to play this is one thing, but it's really the style you put into it that impresses me. And I like the guitar slapping, too!

Actually due to this continuing hyper-sensitivity in my left hand I can only play 1 guitar that doesn't hurt my hand, so having more would be kind of useless. Please don't quit cause I need to steal ideas from you! Check out my latest song called Blues in Bm
