My students have asked for some half-decent recordings of the pieces we use. Here are a few to start.

The first is 'Aire de Hueya' by Adrien Politi from 'Play Guitar in Concert'. I came across this book in a beautiful music shop in Bruges, like stepping back in time, but with a great range of scores. Like all Michael Langer edited books, arrangements are neat, easy to read with helpful fingering.

The others are from the fantastic book 'Modern Times' which features pieces from grade 2 to 6, great tunes, but even the easy ones have rewarding challenges. Most demanding is playing legato and keeping the melody singing out.

Guitar Basics

Over the years I've developed techniques and picked up some gems from influential teachers such as Craig Ogden, Manus Noble and Gary Ryan that can make playing so much more pleasurable, snippets that can help make the seemingly unachievable, achievable.

My general approach to good technique is one based on relaxed posture and focused effort. The reason we work on technique is to allow the music to be freed from the score and expressed by the guitarist with ease and confidence.

Lots of students have asked if I could record the exercises we regularly use and this blog is the result.
