CLASSICAL GUITAR Fandango Joaquin Rodrigo

[minnesotabongo]

How Strange... It seems that everbody is playing a d# in the last chord.My current score shows no D# .Does yours?

Mr. Ducharme played it with the D# at his G.F.A winnibg concert as well.

Thanks.

By the way ,your performance was crisp and clean.One teeny glich maybe.

[JoeSnakes]

Great job!!!!

[bergeronf]

This is really awesome Craig! I love how big of a sound you have. The only thing I'd like to hear though, is dynamic contrast. If you could go much quieter in some spots, they would would create the illusion that your sound is even bigger say on the repeated three chord sequence. love your sound though. Really clean, dark and sprucey!!

[Yanhauff]

Tout simplement, formidable !

Merci.

[722erodz]

very good!!!

[BritScot12]

Hey, the tux was at the cleaners! No problem--didn't effect the sheer 'bravo' quality of this performance. Well done!!!

[lifebane123]

LOL craig dont worry about the expensive suit... you re doing great man !!!

[lute323]

Wonderful　Fandango. Very vivid. I feel breezy freshness from your play. This piece is still tough for me to play like you.

[BENNIEBONGO]

Dear Craig, first I want you to know that I think you play this difficult piece very good but why did you not take some effort in dressing up a little more decent...? Don't you own a nice suit? It would have made this video all the more classy you know.....

[craigalake]

I agree but I only recorded it for my own feedback when I was preparing it for a competition. I decided to post it later because I played it pretty well. Please watch my other fandango video which you'll find if you go to my channel. I dressed up a little more formally for that one because it was support material for a grant application.

[ExDeeXD]

I would post my videos nude with a little black box over my dick. Sucks I can't play this well yet. :(

Who is the luthier of your guitar

[craigalake]

This one is my old guitar. Its a 1989 Richard Howell spruce top made in the style of Ignacio Fleta. It's really great but has 5 cracks running along the grain from the wood shrinking due to lack of humidity. It's in retirement now unfortunately. If you check out my newer fandango video you can see my new Simon Marty guitar.

[electriclute]

Really great Craig,Most Excellent

[craigalake]

Thanks!

[naturanaturans]

Nice nice nice without even foot stool. that looks more close to guitar. Is this orginal guitar piece?

[ferrismichael]

Sounds Great!!

[craigalake]

Thanks,

I've just posted it again so if you're interested go to my channel and check it out. The audio is much better and I think the interpretation is a little more mature. This one was more than a year ago now.

[ThisDream]

Is there really a D sharp in the final chord? My edition (segovia's) has a big first position E chord with no D sharp. Do you know what the original calls for Craig? thanks in advance.

[craigalake]

Yes, the edition without the d# is a later edition by Segovia. Segovia hated all the d#s and joked that when Rodrigo died he was going to publish an edition with no D#s. Thank goodness Segovia died first.

[ThisDream]

Thank goodness indeed! I suppose he thought the Britten Nocturnal had too many F naturals? thanks for the info I will now dsharp it up in the final chord.

[craigalake]

I don't think he would have listened long enough to the Britten to get to an f natural (first one is in bar 9). Tim Kain played it over here in Perth about a month ago. Great piece and underplayed.

[RogerTiger]

congratulations! very good!

[ovidiov]

Great performance! congratulations

[soniameh]

Thank you Himanshu,

I think John Williams plays this really well so that is a big compliment.

Craig.
