Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra
@Eric Phillips You're lucky! I'd love to have seen him. My parents had a couple of his recordings in their LP collection. Listening to him really cultivated my love of the guitar.

@Eric Phillips I don't mean to offend you, Eric, but if I'm being completely honest, I would say you sound more like Parkening than Russell. Which isn't to say, of course,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra
@Eric Phillips That's a nice analogy! And I agree with what you say about playing repertoire like this. I always think it's better to play an 'easy' piece well than a difficult piece badly.…

@Blaise Laflamme It sounds very good with the capo, that's for sure! And it occurs to me that an argument can be made in favour of its use: the baroque guitar,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra
@Eric Phillips Thanks for posting more of this under-appreciated 'pre-Tarrega' repertoire, Eric! It is charming, and by the looks of it, falls nicely under the fingers - exactly what we amateurs…

@Blaise Laflamme Very fine playing, Blaise. The audio and video quality are incredible too! Definitely A++! May I ask, though, why you decided to use a capo here?…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra
@Jack Stewart That's an amusing story, Jack. I can see why you'd be put off Milan after that. Reminds me vaguely of Alex and Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros
@joosje Beautiful performance, Joosje. Very sensitive phrasing and dynamics. Thanks for sharing the historical context of the piece. Is life like that in the end - a thousand regrets? I hope not!…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra
@joosje Very nice, Joosje - lovely phrasing! I often see the composer referred to simply as Luys Milan, without the 'de'; apparently both forms are possible. As you say, he was certainly Spanish.…

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola!
@Eric Phillips I agree, that's one 'cool' (!?) guitar Ian Hunter is playing! Great song, though.

@Moyses Lopes Very impressive control, Moyses! And not particularly slow, even if it's not quite Ms. Vidovic's tempo. It's fast enough to work musically, which is what counts!…

Is the class really at 12 p.m. EST? The normal start time in the past has been 2 p.m. EST. Just wondering. Thanks!

Re: I just played a concert! What's next?
For amateur guitarists, 'performing' generally means participating in a community concert, or playing at a local 'open mike'. Typically, we get to play one or two short pieces.…

@Jack Stewart Well, Jack, he did play with a 'band of gypsies'. What could be more Spanish than that?
