Yradier's La Paloma (arr. Tarrega)
This one is a bit of a standard in the repertoire I think. Playing it, you would think it was written for the guitar. Sorry my intonation is not too good.
-
Eric Phillips Beautiful Eric….thank you for the score
-
Paul Kennedy Thanks, Paul! Welcome home.
-
Eric Phillips so nice, again. Lovely piece.
-
joosje Thank you, Joosje.
-
Eric Phillips Oh La Paloma! Good job, one of my student just bought an arrangement for guitar trio and voice. A little bit easier. But it's such a nice piece.
-
Hélène Beaulieu Thank you, Helene!
-
Eric Phillips so nice piece Eric! I used to sing it ! "cuando.....sali de la Habana valgame Diosssss" thanks for playing it for us!.Your contributions are great. Unfortunatly I can not reach to hear all of them!!
-
Nora Torres-Nagel Thank you, Nora! I wish I had grown up with music like this.
-
Eric Phillips (Good to be home)
-
Eric Phillips that sounds great, looks like you enjoy a lot Tarrega's transcriptions!
-
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks Blaise. I do like his transcriptions, but I'm playing a lot of them mostly because he did so many, and they are easy to find and free!
-
Eric Phillips Well done, Eric. I didn't know this by name but I recognize it by sound.
-
Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It's a pretty recognizable melody.
-
Eric Phillips great job a lot livelier than mine like the embellishments
-
Vilio Celli Thank you, Vilio. It’s a fun one to play, isn’t it?

I had a bit of a break as I traveled to Florida for a couple days so I have not played since last Tuesday…but I am back and still working on the Gershwin as well as a couple other transcriptions. I hope to post another video tomorrow. I was also unable to attend the Dress Rehearsal but look forward to the community Concert in another week or so.
-
Paul Kennedy great news, I'm looking for your next submission.

Lob der Tränen week 3. I need to memorize it now. It is a recording from Sunday night, my internet was too slow for uploading it. I printed a few more songs to work on, but I don't think I will record them this week, we will see.
-
Hélène Beaulieu That was excellent, Helene! What a special performance. I particularly enjoyed the first half. Your dynamics and rubato made it so expressive. Well done!
-
Hélène Beaulieu absolutely love this. Wonderful, Helene! I see that your camera also can’t follow your sound. I have that as well. Great submission.
-
joosje Thank you. Yes I suspect that this is because I recorded with my MacBook built-in camera and that the computer went on sleep mode while I was recording? That, or maybe just a lack of light source. I watched Martin workshop yesterday, I will try to apply some of those principles. (I filmed before the workshop)
-
Eric Phillips Thank you!
-
Hélène Beaulieu Helen that was absolutely beautiful. Well done!!!
-
Hélène Beaulieu Very Nice! It is great to hear you playing on an early instrument. I may have missed an earlier post if you spoke of your instrument, but am I correct that you are playing a replica or an early romantic guitar? It sounds great!
