Very nice. Came off much better than I would suspect when played on a guitar.

Thank you Rick-Slo!

I think Tárrega, whose transcription I played here, had a very good instinct what pieces are possibile even to consider transcribing for guitar. Nowadays it's not so rare to see guitarist trying to transcribe some of the most iconic piano pieces, often with poor results compared to the original version...
