This the first 'real' piece of music I learned, oh, many, many years ago. Here it is on a 'Baby Rodriguez - Senorita Scale' cheap classical. What really transformed this guitar was the Gut and Silk strings by Aquilla. Really worth the money! I've had them on my Panormo guitar for almost a year now, without breakages.

  • Thank you for the information on these strings, I just ordered them a day ago and didn't know if they were going to be any good. Great piece of work you've learned there, and thank you again for your information on these strings, been wanting something rather than nylon. One bit of information I require though, do you play with or without finger nails? as I am used to playing with them and think it may damage the gut strings.

  • I play without nails...

    If you keep your nails smooth there should be no problem.

  • Very well done! I really like your tempo. I honestly don't know what temp Tarrega wrote it for, but given the title (The Tear), I think it does the song interpretive injustice to rush it. It should flow and be emotional and moody...just as you have played it.

    Bravo!

  • Great tone. Ive heard that you should use a special oil for gut strings and they last a lot longer.

  • I LOVE THIS PIECE SO MUCH

    when i herd it.. i grabed my guitar as fast as i could and started learning it :)

    best piece.. ! can tell heaps of stories.. i reckon

    good job

  • Sympathetic interpretation, Rob. I think the temptation can be to hurry this piece, which I've been guilty of myself !

    Appropriate choice , as well - I think I read that Tarrega himself played with no nails, as he thought the tone produced too "hard".

    Cheers, Jim.

  • Outstanding!

  • wow that was fantastic!

  • Thank you for a sensitive and intimate rendition of that beautiful piece. I heard that the piece depicts tears and I could feel that in your beautiful performance. Thanks also for the idea of using gut and silk strings. It somehow adds sparkle to the tone.

  • Very inspirining for my little daughter.

    She's starting with Lagrima too.

    Congratulations
