Yep... The guitar came out on top. Most of you had a hard time choosing (I'll take that as a compliment, thank you), which might mean that, in spite of the disparity in votes, these two version were well-matched after all. And which, really, means little. The point is you enjoyed it, and that's what it's all about.
As for my vote... Like you, I couldn't choose. The cello video really made an impression (those popped bowstrings—brilliant), and Luca's playing is truly virtuoso. How to choose? I'll go with the cellos, but I'm not sure if it's a pity vote :D
Thank you so much for playing, and for putting up with my silence. As a token of my gratitude, I leave you with another jewel of Luca Stricagnoli's guitar...
It was a tough battle. Surprised it wasn't closer.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderfully unique battle, Guilie. This A-Z is kicking my ass, too. Given a choice between a guitar and something else, I'll go with the guitar, pretty much every time. ☺ LOVE the Miserlou video!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHe's very talented. Glad he won. I liked the 2Cellos too, but they are not my favourites.
ReplyDeleteWow! My pick here won! I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteA-Z is tough, I know... That's why it's called a Challenge. You're doing well.
The outcome makes sense to me, but then I was with the majority on the votes.

I voted for the winner!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Luca won. And thanks for posting another one of his guitar greats. Very powerful.
ReplyDeleteI'm still wore out from A-Z. Hope you're having a great weekend sweet Guilie!
