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…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @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 @Eric Phillips Really well played, Eric. One of my favourites as well. As you say, much harder than it appears - as is often the case with Sor, I find.…

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.

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! @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!…

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! Really nice, Eric. I'm also a great admirer of Sor - although I have to date not received any witty missives from him! (Maybe I need to try harder?) Have you played no.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Eric Phillips Really nice, Eric. The importance of Sor's pedagogical work is widely recognized, but Aguado's contribution to this area of repertoire tends to be overlooked.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Eric Phillips Very nice, as usual, Eric! You're right about the Bream version - very dynamic. But he does have the advantage of using a baroque guitar,…

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.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Dale Here's the original for anyone interested. (Not so easy to read - the top line corresponds to the lowest course of the baroque guitar, and the chord symbols refer to shape, not function.…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Eric Phillips It can get worse than that. The baroque lute in its final form had thirteen courses. The archlute, used mostly in Italy, had fourteen, as did the standard theorbo.…
