For the guitar geeks out there, whether or not you actually play the instrument.

Endecha (Lament) - Oremus (Let us pray) by Francisco Tarrega, often played together so I did too.

Oremus turns out to be an arrangement from the second part of Schumann's Phantasietanz op 124, no.5 and was the last piece Tarrega wrote before his death.

Hence historians speculate he was gonna transcribe the whole thing but we'll never know.
Budget practice rig under $200


15 Watt VOX Amp ($120)
+ Skysurfer Reverb Pedal ($75)

$195 total

Also grabbed some new Warm Audio instrument cables.

And ESB flat wound patch cables.
Put on new strings this weekend. 💫

Medium tension, just like me... Strings make a huge difference.

Previously I had Augustine and found them much too hard in sound for my guitar.
With December coming up, time to practice this one. 🫡
Here's a 3-part guitar composition from back when I actually had time to write music. The middle part is entirely too long but I never had the chance to go back and rework it. Other than that & the crappy drum machine, not too bad.

Channel mode flipped to "everyone can cast". Enjoy! But you will be banned for any grossly off topic casts.
Since Idagio didn't really have a classical guitar playlist, I made my own.

Can't add context in that app so, I added my thoughts on each piece on @fileverse instead.

Link to playlist also in the doc ✨
Is there a way to make this channel have open membership? I guess I can just publicly share an invite link? In the meantime, reply here if you want membership and I'll add you.
The piece I'm currently working on: Sacrificio by Sainz de la Maza.

Great for tremolo practice (playing the same string in quick succession with ring, middle, and index finger)
Mathias Lattin opening for Jimmy Vaughn. Talented kid (22 yo).
Setting the mood today with a Tango played by a brilliant guitarist with a bow tie.

Tango en Skai by Roland Dyens, a classic.

A typical moment in my wfh day.

Me to me: I'll just quickly play this small piece. I'm sure it'll inspire me.

1 hour and many pieces later.

Me realizes I have work to do and bills to pay.

Rinse and repeat.
Dusted off the pedals and recorded a riff or two this evening 🐸
Check out some slide dobro yo!

Been a while since I took my guitar and walked around with it... Still got it.

Signed up for the local guitar ensemble. ✨
Cool recent clip from YouTube super shredder Rick Graham (which BTW happens to have no shredding).

Detecting Eric Johnson and Satriani influences here. Beautiful piece.

Gonna try one of these (a Celestion Cream - 90 Watt speaker) in my Mesa Mark V combo. The Black Shadow in there now is a bit too harsh for my tastes, but it could also just be the effect of the open back cab. Guess I'll soon find out.
Randy Rhoads would take guitar lessons while he was on tour
Here's a ridiculous (but still cool, IMO) prog-rock song I recorded on 4-track cassette back in the mid 90's, with a college friend who regretfully couldn't start a prog-rock band with me because of our academic pursuits.
