I’ve got a new video up on YouTube - Gaspar Sanz’s Pavanas - for anyone who likes baroque music or classical guitar or both
Franklin wishes to know why I am not practicing.

Hey #Portland #classicalGuitar peeps - the fabulous Xuefei Yang will be coming to town in August. I've seen her twice, and it's electric the way she combines eastern and western styles.

Unfortunately, I've got another show to attend that night and will miss it. So please go, so I can live vicariously thru you.
#TIL: on a guitar, most of the sound comes from the up-and-down vibration of the string (pumping air in and out of the guitar), not the sideways component, because the energy goes mainly through the bridge, which can't easily vibrate sideways.
That's different from a violin or cello bridge, which is designed to rock sideways on its two feet as the musician pulls the bow across.
From John Taylor, Tone Production on the Classical Guitar (1978).

PBS Great Masterpieces did an episode on the life of Augustin Barrios! Also features Thibaut Garcia as a guest
Really great episode with a lot of interesting information on his background and musical influences from Paraguayan folk music to Bach to romantic composers.

I'm a #guitartech, I've worked under many people, worked for Guitar Center, and had my own shop for a time. I still do it on the side these days & I'm always happy to give advice. I've worked on everything with strings that isn't a classical instrument.

I #DIY a lot because I often find cookie cutter or off the shelf solutions to be lacking. I'm often seen making or modifying some thing to better fit my use cases.

The Baroque guitar was fairly common in the Baroque but it is quieter than the modern guitar.
Absolutely. Also, typically it had only 4 or 5 courses (double strings), depending on time and place. The low E didn't get added until the end of the 18th century, around the time single strings became common.

The brass hourglass I use to time my #classicalGuitar practice sessions includes a pause function.
I'll start.
Instruments: handmade 1992 Ramírez SP "Special Professional" prototype (cedar top, 650mm scale), factory-built 1982 Takamine C-128 (spruce top, 660mm scale).
Skill level: Borderline intermediate/advanced (pieces like Torroba's "Sonatina" or Lauro's "Vals Criollo" max out my ability right now, but I'm working on improving).
Quirks: I use a tradiational footstool, and don't look at the fretboard when I play.
Can we kick the #classicalGuitar fediverse into gear?
We already have great meeting places in the English- and French-language DelCamp forums, and I wouldn't want to compete with those, but there must be a many more fellow classical guitarists (from "beginner" to "better-than-I-could-ever-hope-to-be") lurking here in the fedi, waiting for an excuse to connect.
I've just started reading Madeline Bruser's The Art of Practicing (1997). So far, it's great!
I'm doing some of the things in it already, like taking mindfulness pauses (I like to smell the red cedar from my classical-guitar top) and enjoying listening to the music coming out of my instrument instead of obsessing over how I'm producing it, but I think I'll get a lot more good ideas for keeping practice joyful and creative.
Brandon Acker did a run-through of an upcoming recital's repertoire on a YouTube live. Half of it is on #Baroque #Guitar, the other half on #ClassicalGuitar; well-played, some nice repertoire choices, and he also gives a couple brief explanations of the instruments and playing techniques. The main run-through takes 40 minutes, after which he does a short Q&A, which gets a bit random at points. #Music #ClassicalMusic
