Pronounced like Sue Fay Young, she is a wonderful guitarist I came across while surfing you tube. There are a lot of her pieces there, like
Concerto de Arnajuez (Rodrigo) done in Germany.
Here is a piece composed by Stanley Myers called Cavatina which was done by John Williams in the movie Deer Hunter. She does a really graceful, lyrical version here:

Originally posted by geniusI get the strong feeling Tommy Emmanuel is his mentor, obviously very talented. One problem I had was finding a cut with decent audio, the one you put up was in a music shop or factory and the background noise was terrible for guitarists. I have played in such environs and it's not fun. The other cuts about him have had very poor audio, I think maybe a small camcorder at concerts. Wonder if he has a CD of his own out yet. Good find anyway.

Here are some YouTube links:
Bach's Cello suite No 1
in G
[Check out the old master's version for a point of reference: though the recording is not of the same standard]
Paganini's Caprice in Eminor - always popular with the shredders but worth a listen!!
There are a few downloads of her performances at www.classtabs.org

If you follow the other links on the page, she does genuine classical pieces like Rodrigo and Albeinez. I thought she played Asturias too fast, just saw the Andre Segovia version and he did not rush through it like a lot of others do. It is not neccessary to show how fast you are IMHO, but how graceful and how dynamic.

Three other guitarists wwoth mentioning are Ana Vidovic, Kaori Muraji, and Kazuhito Yama$hita. All are on Youtube. I couldn't spell the last one's last name properly as the system thinks I'm using profanity. Just put an "s" in and you'll get him.

I think too much attention is given to the first section which is essentially just triplets: the important thing is that the strings are plucked P-I-P-M at the beginning which helps to create the slight feeling of dissonance and also makes the transition to out-and-out triplets easier. The second part, where the piece seems to slow down, is the section where you must play with real feeling. I prefer the second part to the first: the first part is theme but the second part is littered with artificial harmonics, answering phases and passion.
