Tears in Heaven - solo classical guitar cover

Hello everyone,
I normally post at the Show and Tell section but decided to share this with you all as it is really a classical transcription of Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven as played by Kaori Muraji. Hirokazu Sato did an amazing job with this transcription. Hope you enjoy this!

Your relaxed timing and expression are so good, Kevin! I have listened to your videos many times, especially the York pieces.

Very nicely done, and beautiful tone Kevin. Really enjoyed your playing.

Superb rendition. This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It took me forever, and my roommates were going crazy listening to me practice. But it was funny to catch them singing or humming the tune once in awhile when I wasn't practicing.

Beautiful! Any chance of sharing the tab/notation for this?

I said it before and repeat - it's wonderful!

I've been watching your channel for a few years and it was always great inspiration, apart from your beautiful playing I also discovered some new music. Thanks for bringing us beautiful music, Kevin

I've heard a couple of Hirokazu Sato's compositions, really enjoyed them and I'm looking forward to try to play some. He seems to be very nice arranger too, there was
a video of Kaori Muraji playing "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" arranged by Sato too.
Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope there will more nice music from you soon
