How do you simultaneously make one of the great classical pieces your own and then make it look so effortless?!
A minor aside, is that guitar a little small or is he just a fairly big fella?

Location: Texas | I have the "Winter's Solstice" CD with that on it, it's always been a favorite in our house at Christmas time. I don't know about the size of the guitar but he's got a pretty sizable talent.
Great song, thanks for the link… |

Location: PDX | It's a great song to play too. I capo the guitar at the second fret though. He's got a 5 fret stretch spanning the low to high E string. So the capo makes the reach a bit easier. He plays it in drop D.
Thanks for finding this. I only have a mp3 of my teacher playing it.
