    This video taught me that one should be listening as one is playing. I play Fingerstyle and all these artists are listening to the sounds of the music more than looking at what they are doing on the guitar. Big learning lesson for me is to "Open Up My Ears" when playing. To feel the music just as much as you are playing.

      Nathan, mate, Torres guitars are the guitar equivalent of Stradivarius violins. They're that big a deal. Torres single handedly invented the modern guitar, everything we think of as standard in a guitar today is something that he came up with, for example having 6 single strings (most guitars before then had double strings for each string, like you'd see on a modern 12 string guitar, which is just a 6 string guitar with each string being doubled, playing the exact same note but just at a higher octave). So not only are they basically still the best classical guitars out there, they're also incredibly historically important, they're museum pieces. So yeah, you're not gonna ever buy one. Nobody here is. There's plenty of fantastic classical guitars out there these days that are as good in quality as these but are a fraction of the price, and also are guitars you'll actually play. These Torres guitars, even if you owned one, you'd never want to play them or even touch them, because of the risk of accidentally damaging them. You would rather be safe than sorry. That's why instruments like these and Stradivarius violins are mostly in museums, with very few being regularly played anymore.

    Besides the sweet but classic sound, all these Torres guitars have exceptional intonation. Granted, I'm not sure if any intonation work has been done after the math besides all the restoration, if not then Torres is truly amazing!!

      @segovianity Před 2 lety

      In the thorough research for his book on the life and work of Antonio de Torres, the late Jose Romanillos pointed out that early guitars (including 'La Leona') had poor intonation (pp 144-145 of the classic study).

Try Optima Gold wounds and Gut plains on any guitar and you will see what I mean. Of course nails or no nails, and the player matters. But ı find it shameful that such supposedly well thought of demos dont mention the strings used. Am I wrong?
