I play the piano, I hear a bit from classical guitar...a question what kind a composers' music do you play: Villas Lobos, Albenis, Tarrega, Telemann, Debussy? "Baroque", "spanish guitar style", "modern"? -------------

| The first 4 are guitar composers who have many pieces listed in the classical guitar gradings. I only get to brush up on them when I have a student at that level - 6th grade and up. Unfortunately audiences prefer to listen to 4 chord crap, which is why I don't waste the hours necessary to get them and keep them at a performance level. I do prefer contemporary composers, such as Villa Lobos, to the period composers. |

I took a year and a half of classical guitar lessons. Although I have
the posture down, (indeed, any stringed instrument I hold is never at
anything BUT a 45 degree angle with thumb in the middle of the back of
the neck) and I grasped the basic idea, used it in other styles I play,
and still occasionally do exercises for it, I don't consider that I
play classical because I bounced off the surface, as opposed to
scratching it...

I've been playing for almost a year now. Mostly, I play Baroque and Spanish style. Also, I just learned "Mood for a day" by Steve Howe, so I'm working on perfecting that. I've got most of it cleanly, except for the fast parts. And I've got a damned good teacher. ------------- I don't believe in demons I don't believe in devils I only believe in you |

I learned Mood for a Day like 2 years ago or something like that. I started playing classical guitar, i had lesson for 4 years or something like that. I had also the best teacher, he was a simple man, and had been student of Andrés Segovia. Now I am playing "Asturias" of Albeniz, but it's pretty hard work, I am going to have to play some months before i get it done. Keep practicing Mood for a Day, it's a really nice piece, and my wife's favourite |

ah yes mood for a day is a great piece to learn, you can do great rasgueados in that the clap however is quite difficult to play, especially play it and sound good at the same time -------------

Clap is meant more for steel strings i think. But yes, Mood For A Day is a beautiful classical guitar piece. I had that one down a while ago but I haven't attempted to play it in a while. Good stuff, good stuff. |
