Villa-Lobos "Choros no. 1" played by James Graham

Watch me butcher this fine work by one of the greats. Actually, it's a snippet from a practice session where I'm working on it for my semester performance final.

Nice job. I trust your performance final went well. I received the Villa-Lobos guitar solo works as a Christmas present from my wife. I have looked at Choros no. 1 and plan to tackle it but it is definitely going to be a challenge. Thanks for posting the video. I look forward to more videos.

Ben,

Thank you for your kind words. It's full of errors, but that's a part of practicing. :) Choros no. 1 is not difficult, but it does have two or three tricky phrases that I've yet to consistently get right. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. I'm still working on them. Actually, I didn't get to play Choros at my final. I ended up playing the three pieces from Merlin's Suite del Recuerdos, and they went well (at least I think they did, I got a final grade of 'A').

Cheers,

James

That's some difficult piece of guitar music, and despite some mistakes you pulled it off quite well.

If I were more dedicated to learning and didn't have so many other interests perhaps I could learn to play a small portion as well as you!
