  3. i think that was a really good clip.I used to play the ukelele and i used to play it really good at it.The first year when this school started we were in fourth grade and we did this litlle show were we played the ukalele and we did it really well.I think that Jazz and all that other music that that lady said were good.And especialy Jazz.

  4. i think that that guys music was vary soothing and vary nice I also think that he must have lurened and praticed it a lot because he was vary good at that song. I also think that he looked like he was playing it vary good and it even looked like he cloused his eyes while he was playing it . he was vary fluent in what he was doing I wish I could do that.

  7. Well my opinion on this video is that it's really good and the song/theme is just really good and that he is a professional guitarist and he can play different types of LAtin American music which has a lot of different styles of it and it seems like it's hard but then when someone plays it and has been practicing for more than a year it seems that it's really easy to play it. Then my other opinion about this video is that it was all great and it's really amazing that someone can play maybe all the different types of Latin American music.

  9. My opinion on the video that the class was assigned to watch were very strange . I never knew that there were african american latinos . The music still sounds very good yet it is lacking the more african part but that is just my opinion . The man playing does not look like he has a afro and he looks more mexican than anything . The instrument that he is using is obviously guitar but he is playing it very very slowly like the song is supposed to be a lulaby .

  11. I like how he was focusing so much on strumming the right notes, and how relaxed he was playing in front of all those people. I wish that I could play the guitar, or any instrument for that matter. The music was soothing and relaxing but was a very long song. In my opinion he was a good guitar player and I liked his performance.
