Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
@Eric Phillips Thanks Eric! Some of those rich chords are real finger busters, but over time the bones adapt.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
This is Laurindo Almeida's transcription of Harburg and Arlen's Over the Rainbow. I love sitting outside and playing duets with the birds when the wild turkeys are not in the neighborhood.

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@Steve Pederson Thank you Steve. I love them both—they are two different experiences. Albeniz was definitely imitating the guitar with the broken chords, and bel canto in the B section.…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire
@Eric Phillips so beautiful Eric! I’ve played it on piano (inspired by my flaxen haired daughter) and now I’m inspired to play it on guitar.

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@joosje Thanks Joosje! I agree with you that Granada sounds like it was composed for the guitar. Albeniz wrote this in 1886 during a stay in Granada where he would have been strongly influenced by…

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@don This is coming along very well Don! A lovely piece. I’ve not heard it before. And I agree. 4 weeks is long enough for an introduction to a piece, but not long enough for mastery.

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@Steve Price Thanks Steve! It is interesting that the physicality and tonal response of the two instruments give me a very different emotional response to the experience of performing.

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
I have a project to create an all Albeniz program where I play the same pieces on guitar and piano. I'm just returning from vacation, so I haven't had time to brush up and record Granada on piano,…

Re: Who are your Guitar Heroes?
@Slava He is awesome! I had a MasterClass with him on Future Hope. This was composed for the children who live in the Indian garbage dumps. Such a compassionate, creative and resourceful young man.
