Francisco Tarrega - Pavana

A lovely cheerful tune from the Spanish guitar genius. In keeping with the tone of this piece, the pictures are some memories of a late summer trip to a sunny Greek island, and some of its colourful inhabitants !

Very lovely Jim! I like playing this one too! Tarrega had fun sliding about the frets didnt he? haha.

peace, Amy

@amccann7 You're right there, Amy. It's a joy to play and leaves plenty of room for personal interpretation, as I've heard a wide variety of approaches to this piece, from formal "dance" to much , erm...looser (like mine !!). Happy Christmas, Jim

Hi Jim.

What a fine upload!! The tone of your guitar is very good. I play this sometimes, bit the ornamentation is my downfall. You have handled them nicely and they fit well to the smooth flow of the music. The pictures take me back to my leisurely days on Crete. Cheers. Steve.

@Mr5stevenr Hi Steve, and thanks for taking time to comment. I don't know about you, but I found this piece quite a challenge to try and make flow, as you say. A couple of mistakes in there, but hey-ho. Glad you like the pics as well (Kefalonia). Cheers, Jim

@sguitar Hiya Sarah. It's nice to hear from you again:o) Thank you for your very kind comments, and I'm so glad you like the pictures ! A big hug from a very, very snowy Scotland - I'll include some snow pics in my next video, hopefully ! Jim.

@buniluvr You're so kind, Julie :o) The guitar is nothing too fancy, a student model- though it has a nice mellow sound. It's a Contreras C7, built in Madrid. I think the Dollar is good just now against the Euro, so if you were thinking of a classical model, it could be good time, right enough ! Cheers, Jim

@sammu5 Hiya Sam. Yes, I'd never seen a Swallowtail before, so I was delighted with the chance to take a pic ! Thanks for the compliments, as always. Cheers, Jim
