Preparing the sides for the back

Another video from 2006. This is a flamenca blanca which I think must have gone to Guitar Salon International.

If you are a fan of guitar photos you will know that they are very hard to take well. Furthermore, the label of a guitar does not jump out at you in real life nor in a photo. I am always very pleased when a guitarist makes the effort to do that with my guitar. Now, the point of this post is to celebrate generous gestures by musicians to help make this time a little more pleasant. Here is Maria José Tirado with a video.

Javier Riba has done more for my art than anyone ever could and was the first one to make sure that my name was front and centre on his cd. His video offering in this time of confinement is with his son and makes us remember that this time can be very much taken advantage of. Piazolla with Javier’s son Ángel.

Last but surely not least is Fernando Espí whose gift is in the form of sheet music, just see his facebook post of March 16 for details. Here is a little video he recorded before this all started.

 

Video with no sound

I know, we had some trouble getting this one uploaded, couldn’t edit and now we can’t even put music to it. It’s from a longer video so I will be publishing more excerpts from that.

New series of short videos

Oh my that was a long time ago, before digital cameras. Photo by Manuel Ruiz.

I am lucky enough to have my workshop next to the house and to work alone. That means I can still go there even though no one will be buying guitars in the near future. What I will be doing is making some videos and hopefully publishing more articles so that you all have something to watch or read on your quarantined days. My son will be videographer. I hope that you players out there will do the same and record some music for us.
