Took me 20 years to get his touch technique, now just another 50 years to learn his playing skills. He was on a level of absolute control of timbre and mastery of finger pressure that takes decades to master. Unreal and will never be duplicated.

No doubt, my friend...I'm a proficient folk/blues fingerstyle guitarist and have just begun learning some classical techniques and I realized quickly that developing a fluid tremolo was going to take me a while , to say the least, lol...this man was at a level most of us could never achieve but we can allow it to inspire us to be better and explore the limits of what we are given 🔥

@Robert Cronin There are many videos of him using a lot of his left hand touch and right hand control techniques. His Bach videos clearly show how he uses his left hand ( wiggle the fingers) for vibrato-tremolo effect. His right hand for example he has it at the sound hole then when he needs brighter tones he slides his hand down closer to the saddle bridge. These touch and tone control techniques takes years to master. An example is I have 5 guitars ( acoustic, electric, classical) I never buzz on any of the frets with the low action setups on them, but my dad has absolutely no control over his finger pressure and always complains about fret buzz 😂. In order to play on a low action guitar it takes a mastery of finger pressure control in order not to have fret buzz. I like low action guitars and my setups are a nightmare for someone with no finger pressure control.

@Danfuerth Gillis Charo began guitar classes with him at age 9...You must see her play...Yes, the same Charo we took as a comedian, is actually a brilliant guitarist...Thanks to Andres Segovia...

One of my all-time FAVORITE guitar pieces! I've listened to this recorded version countless times over the last 4 decades. Godspeed Mr. Segovia❣️❤️

Segovia's tremolo is sublime, in some parts it's so smooth you might think there is a violin playing it. Wonderful, beautiful piece.

Yes, it's because he plays the 3 finger tremelo which many guitarists do not...I like this version best...Jack Baker NYC.NJ

Such soulful piece- a true classic, played by the most famous classical guitarist.  It can't get any better than this.  SO much soul!
