Re: Who are your Guitar Heroes?
@Marilyn Blodget Vidovic is remarkable. There's a college nearby that draws in some significant talent for recitals and usually they make me very motivated to play.…

Re: Who are your Guitar Heroes?
@Gabriel She is fantastic. You may already be aware but she has a couple of workshops recorded here and she ran a two-week intensive that was amazing. She genuinely changed the way I approach music.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Wai Thanks Wai. The more I work like this the more I like it. It really makes me understand the music which helps me remember it and probably play it better as well.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
Here's the full a section for Ponce's Por Ti Mi Corazon. It's going slow, but I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along and going phrase by phrase has really helped me I think.…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@David Krupka Thanks, David. I did some more research and it looks like these were actually arranged by Ponce for guitar and then fingered by Segovia, but I'm sure he did his thing to it.…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Derek Thanks, Derek. I think I know the recording. Wasn't it an all-Ponce disk? And they are surprisingly challenging for such short and sweet pieces, at least for me.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Michael Shirk His bass lines really are great. I love how prominent they are in pieces like the first Brandenbug concerto. It's like a rock song.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Derek Nice, Derek. The interesting thing about these challenges is hearing pieces that I'm not familiar with. Now you and Jack are both playing Rameau. Very cool.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Wai These are really good Wai. This is a great set. I've only heard a few of the "standards" of Sanz so it's nice to hear more.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
@Michael Shirk I know exactly the sound you're talking about and I think the muted strings capture it really well. Nicely done.

@Calin Lupa Very nice performance Calin. I don't hear this as much as some of his others so this was good to hear again.

@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. And you're right, he does have a variety of styles he works in. That definitely keeps him interesting for me.

Re: Who are your Guitar Heroes?
Not the most original choices, but I'd say Segovia and Bream. What they did to expand the repertoire and bring legitimacy to the instrument changed everything. Not too shabby players either. 😉

@Eric Phillips Thanks a lot, Eric. And as far as how to work on music, I don't know about following my example, lol. What you're doing certainly works for you.…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached 🎸
Manuel Ponce arranged a number of popular songs for piano and then either he or Andres Segovia, depending on the source, arranged some of them for guitar.…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! 🎶
@David Koen Claeys has an excellent workshop with Martin on the topic with the link below. For me, I just kept it simple and looked for easier works. Everyone from Schumann to Bartok to Stravinsky…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! 🎶
@Khiem Nguyen You're right about transcribing from piano being a challenge. I do it sometimes just because I like learning about music theory and transcribing forces me to analyze the music and…

@Jack Stewart I really like how this is coming along. And like others have said I like the ornaments. I've always thought of ornaments as being more of an afterthought,…

@Jack Stewart I had no idea Segovia transcribed and played this. I'll have to check that out. 'Pictures' was one of the earliest classical pieces I was exposed to,…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! 🎶
@joosje Kazuhito Yamashita arranged all of the "Pictures" for guitar and there are a few videos on youtube of it. Of the entire set, I thought this one fit best on the guitar so I'm looking forward…

@Steve Pederson That's sounding good Steve. I think the key works well for it and it never gets muddy to me. For me, I think the trade-off in not spending a lot of time trying to play over the…
