Redmond O'Toole - Prelude

Redmond is the first in the world to have adopted Paul Galbraith's groundbreaking new technique of playing the Brahms guitar in the cello position. After seeing Galbraith perform at the Dundee guitar festival in 2000 he had Irish Luthier Patrick O'Toole (also his uncle) build a Brahms guitar and within a year adopted the Cello position with the help of Alexander technique expert and Violin teacher at the Dublin Conservatory Brian McNamara.

No, he is the first person that has ADOPTED Paul Galbraith's technique of playing. Paul Galbraith didn't have to adopt anything because he invented the technique. Inventing isn't the same as adopting.

Beautiful playing! That position looks really comfortable. I want a guitar like that! It just dawned on me that there would be less tension in both arms like that.

the position is the same... the only difference is that you can't see the first steps... more comfortable? i don't think so

from Jose' the hermeterec......which Bach prelude is this? It sure sounds familiar but I cannot remember which it is.

Beautiful. And I love the increased range of this guitar.

Paul Galbraith is now playing Albeniz on Youtube.

There is also an interview with him about the 'Tornados' on another Youtube video.

Funny way to introduce the video! If he's "the first in the world to adopt Paul Galbraith's way of sitting", doesn't this make him the SECOND in the world, after Paul?
