A buddy of mine just posted this on Youtube so I thought I would share. I play too, but he is way better than me.

Nice, but it will sound so much better on nylon strings with finger picking.

IMO, a nylon string guitar and a steel stringed dreadnought are two different instruments, much like a tuba and a trumpet. I appreciated a flatpicker playing it because that is the instrument I play. This is a much easier song on a nylon string guitar.

The great Montoya, classical guitarist, was the best thing I ever heard on a guitar.....until I listened to him while sober.
Sounded like a twelve year old had found a guitar, and banged on it.
Your buddy sounds much better, but that could be a matter of taste.

Bach's Cello Suite ?

A buddy of mine in HS used to play this on electric bass and it was mesmerizing to listen to. Your buddy's a pretty decent player.

ETA: NVM, the title explains the piece.
