Re: Week 1: "Villa-Lobos Vibe" @Spare Machine Thanks for the info. The Savarez New Cristal Corum seems to be the standard strings Cordoba is using on all their classical guitars. The non-Cristal you mention is probably the Savarez…

Re: Week 1: "Villa-Lobos Vibe" @Eric Phillips Well done Eric, this is certainly a challenging piece with many bar chords. Like many other Tonebuddies, I don't worry too much about the squeaking; the musicality is more important.
