Gerald:

That was fantastic. I am a beginner guitar player (44 yrs old) and have been practising an easier arrangement for about a week now and have been still struggling but getting there. You make it look so effort less I love how your fingers just flow - quite different from my rigid 'panicy' 'hope-I-hit-the-right-notes' approach.

Fantastic performance. How long have you been playing Guitar; and how long Classical?

[GeraldBoyClassical]

Hello Dexter, thank you. I've been playing classical for about 11 years starting at 49 years old and was in a rock band in my late teens and early twenties. You need to practice scales, not to learn different modes, but to to get control of your right hand. Classic Guitar Technique Volume 1, by Aaron Shearer is a good book.Practice, practice, practice.

Hope this helps

Thank you, Meissie35. Anyone can have magic playing fingers - all it takes is four hours of practice every day! ; )

Merry Christmas.

Well played Gerald, I have never heard this played on guitar before:)

Thanks, Anthony. I couldn't find any printed music so just played it by ear.
