Hmmm. I went to the link and listened to as much as I could take... I find this particular piece to be dismayingly akin to musical navel-gazing absent any strictures regarding resonant compatibility.

That is to say, the most technically demanding and skillfully difficult piece to perform really becomes quite pointless if, in the end, it just sounds like hard-to-play, dissonant crap.

Better luck next time, Tommy.

I’d have to agree on much of that harmonic stuff. It’s just too limiting, and the song gets forced into the available notes. It becomes a “look at what I can do” piece.

You’d probably like something like this a lot more... though you’ll need to make it to about 1:30 to really hear the full “sound” that Emmanuel is famous for.

What the heck is that even supposed to mean? You're probably the only one who knows.
