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 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.

  @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!

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.

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)

  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!
