Review of Teenaged Guitarists Tackle "El Gato Montes"

Your passion for this piece I could feel in your voice, you made me love a song I never knew about. I lost myself in your story as you explained the important experience that you had in the practice room and the bond you shared with your fellow performers made this short piece humorous but at the same time humbling. I enjoyed your love for the music you played.. keep it up!

Review of Teenaged Guitarists Tackle "El Gato Montes"

Teenagers and music. They seem to go together. It's hard to find a teen who doesn't like music, or who doesn't like to play an instrument or sing. This fun piece highlights just a few teens struggling through a musical piece, El Gato Montes, and trying to get it perfect for their performance!

I love the descriptive narration and I think the piece is really well written. The vox is perfect, and is at a nice volume. I really like the conclusion the producer comes to, about how you just get lost in the music, and how that can be forgotten if there's too much repetition.

This is a really nice short piece that touches on some universal themes of music. I really liked it, it's a meaningful yet fun sound-rich commentary. Thanks to Carlos Maeda for putting this up!
