Having studied classical guitar with Karl Scheit in Vienna, he began his Journey to become one of the most influential jazz musician on the classical guitar and gifted us with wonderful pieces. We will be diving into one of his most famous pieces "Green and Golden".

    In my opinion Ralph Towner´s The Juggler´s Etude is one of the most impressive pieces of contemporary guitar repertoire. I´d like to know, from a classical guitarist point of view, how do you compare the guitar work of Ralph Towner with some of his contemporaries such as Leo Brouwer and Andrew York.?  The presence of improvisational sections, in his guitar work in general, sets those pieces apart from the classical world ?
