Yeah, I know what you mean about losing your place in the song - I'm terrible at memorizing whole pieces. Just one more question, this one about your guitar: is the neck narrower than most other classical guitars? I have a Yamaha and maybe I just have small hands but sometimes it feels like playing one of those renaissance lutes. I'm on the lookout for something I can get my hands around - if you know what I mean - and I really like the sound of your Takamine. Thanks for the feedback.

@fraxav6strings This is a "normal" sized classical guitar. About 2" wide at the nut. Most nylon string guitars that are cutaways seem to be targeted at steel string players and usually have a narrower neck and are electric. I've only met one narrow-necked nylon string guitar that was not a cutaway. It was made by Taylor and it sounded terrible.

Your playing is inspiring and I'm grateful to you for posting all the tablature - I sure am learning a lot. One question about this piece: why do you pause at :57? Personally I find it practical to pause one measure earlier because that chord is a little tricky to get into, but of course that's hardly an artistically valid reason. Your pause does lend a nice dramatic touch.

@fraxav6strings Sometimes I pause because I forget where I am . . . but in this case it was intentional. It just felt like a good idea at the time. I'm not a musical artist, so I have to take a wild guess as to where "artistic" pauses should go.

Hello! I'm from Russia. I was on your youtube page, listen your compositions, try to repeat. I like anime and agree, that there are a lot of good music in it. And i ntice that you didnt play Blaech OST. Why???

Thats a goodone Soundscape of ardor. Try it.

[oldwhtman]

@avalonbright I've never seen the "Bleach" anime, so I'm not familiar with it's soundtrack, but I just listened to the music you have mentioned and I agree it has promise. I'll put it on my list of things to do.

@oldwhtman great job on ochihabune!

I hate to burden you, but I was wondering if you could please consider playing Yamagasumi, anyway, good job none the less and keep up the good work!
