John Jarvie on classical guitar, live in 2008. Arpeggio Study from opus 60. I enjoy playing this as fast as my fingers can move, but it sounds nice played more slowly, also.

  • Is that a Kenny Hill custom guitar with the angle for standing up? Just curious, I went to standing up playing (after 40 years of sitting either with footstool or Paco de Lucia position), and I like it a lot.

  • @ronjazz1 I make my own guitars, this one uses a Fleta design. I have a video on youtube called "Stand-up Guitar" that describes the strap I use. Standing to play is easier on the back and especially the sit bones.

  • do you grow your fingernails for playing? mad song too you play it at like 4X the speed I can haha

  • @lukefromdownunder I do use fingernails, although I know some very fine players who don't, it's a personal preference.

  • That's not a classical guitar. The original song is for classical guitar, but here is played on acoustic guitar.

  • @ramK08 The only difference from a conventional classical guitar is the cut-away. In construction, this instrument uses a variation of the 'Fleta" nine strut bracing system, the wide classical fingerboard, and nylon strings. So I do consider it to be a classical guitar. The cut-away became necessary for me when a wrist injury from my 20's finally began to limit my ability to play comfortably above the box.

    Respectfully, John

  • @ramK08 Oh! Excuse me, please, I didn't wanted to sound rude, I was just doubting cause is unusual to see that cut-away in a classical guitar.

    I've forgotten to say to you that this is very well played.

    Greetings, Niko.

  • Très bien joué

  • no doubts , you got some great skills , but it sounds very dirty .in my opinion you should play little slower.

  • @GabDyl 1/2...?
