Classical Guitar technique at its very best

[Dogsnax]

There's been a lot of interest in classical guitars and classical guitar technique lately on AGF, so I thought I'd submit a video of Marcin Dylla, a 32 year-old virtuoso from Poland. Marcin is widely regarded as one of the finest young classical guitar players on the planet and his technique is amazingly clean and precise. He combines technical prowess with musicality and emotion. Here he plays Joaquin Rodrigo's "Junta al Generalife". Pay particular attention to Dylla's amazing classical-style vibrato section at 2:40. Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful playing! Love the technique that allows the music to be so expressive. I'll be looking for more of Dylla!

The way he churns out that high note by alternating his right-hand fingerpicking fingers.....is amazing. You can't even see it happening.

very nice

[David Hilyard]

A pleasure to watch and hear. He's in control, for sure.

BTW, the technique starting at around 2:40 is tremolo, rather than vibrato. Vibrato is done with the fretting hand, like what he's doing at 2:32. Tremolo is repeated hitting of a note or notes on a string, usually in triplets, using the playing hand and usually using a, m, i fingers.

beautiful sound, i am impress with his strong rhythm in the last part.
nylon demands technic, nails care, a very good guitar for exact tuning.
high music training for read that complex music.

Shame on me...I know better - tremolo not vibrato! As my dear mother used to say as she looked at me...."too many games without a helmet."

Glad everyone is enjoying Marcin Dylla. He's destined to be one of great classical guitarists of our era.

Wow!!!! It's deceptively simple. Meaning, he makes it look easy. I also can't believe no one has remarked on his hands; they're HUGE!.

[BigSlick]

Reminds me a lot of David Russell's playing...but he has that same great tremolo as Pepe Romero...
