Sound level is too low. My volume is turned all the way up and I can barely hear this.

Thanks for this enlightening video. Incidentally, I had the same problem of finding the modern guitar to be inadequate for playing in a "lute style", i.e. with flesh, little finger on the soundboard etc. Eventually, I had purchased an orignal late 19th century guitar. I wonder why use the guitar presented in this video, given that you also have a copy of a 19th century guitar. Does it have any advantages?

I know a great guitarist/lutenist/banjoist plays just like you w/o using nails. I've read Emilio Pujol also played and taught the nail-less method. Do you know if the Emilio Pujol guitar school books are a good start to learn this technique? thx

I have played with flesh only for 30 years. Thank God! The day I started studying with Hector Garcia, my life changed and my sound did also, as did my focus on sound, and the allure of finding a guitar that truly embraces the nuance sound only. Your playing is elegant and timeless!
