Buzz Gravell: Intro to the Fretless Classical Guitar
Hello everybody, it is November and the perfect time to discover new aspects of your instrument in the cozy comfort of your home!
Ever wondered, how your guitar would sound like without frets and what musical possibilities that would bring? And wouldn't be that the true form as the guitar being a descendant from the Arabian lute, the oud? I am super excited to dive into that topic with Buzz Gravell, a leading player of the fretless classical guitar!
Join Buzz Gravelle, a leading player and proponent of the fretless classical guitar. He will play musical examples on the fretless guitar, discusses its history, its uniqueness, challenges, what it does well (and what its limitations are), and its future.
