redrum Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm currently learning a Catalan song called 'La Filla Del Marxant' (The Shopkeepers Daughter) that uses a lot of artificial harmonics. It's a beautiful tune and watching Segovia play it he makes it look so easy. I am putting it in tab and spent about 4 hours yesterday just doing that as it is in 6/8 time. The standard notation for the song is just too hard for me. The song was originally harmonized by Miguel Llobet who was a friend of Segovia and Llobet was killed in an air raid on Barcelona in 1937. A great loss to the guitar world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Slocum Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks Beatbo! I haven't seen that in ages! What a hoot! And Macchio did a pretty admirable job of looking like he was actually playing Cooder's parts! Wax on. Wax off!! Cooder only did the slide stuff..all the paganinni caprice stuff was Vai(he said in an interview that the hardest part for him was making mistakes)...Eugene's trick bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Looking for Volume 3. I have the first 2 volumes of 'Guitar Review' that features issues 1 thru 12 of the magazine which started in 1946. They are 2 of my most prized books now. They deal mostly with classical guitar and have lots on the history of the guitar and even shows one guitar that was made by Stradivarius. The books are beautiful hardback editions and Vol. 1 is black, Vol. 2 is red and Vol. 3 is green. Gotta keep searching those used book sites.

zepyep Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi all, Here's Ida. The film is not good but the sound is. Had she lived she would be 84 now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usTG3MUwr4Y That was beautiful! KB(ugly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi all, That was beautiful! KB(ugly) She was a child prodigy and later became a great teacher. I would have loved to have been one of her students. The guitar is a woman to whom the saying: 'Look at me but do not touch' does not apply! Her rosette soundhole is the very opposite of a real rosebud, For she will not wither No matter how much you touch her with your hands. Gaspar Sanz Now that's some erotic poetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It was in the 17th century that Joseph Hall, an Englishman wrote: 'Had we lived in some rude and remote part of the world and should have been told that it is possible only by a hollow piece of wood and the guts of beasts stirred by the fingers of men to make so sweet and melodius a noise we should have thought it utterly incredible' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
