what exactly is phrasing?

i'm sort of a newbie to guitar, only been playing a few months

[buchanj]

Phrasing is where the guitarist changes the tone of the music. It works well if a piece repeats itself (eg Tarrega pieces) Or you want a bring out a certain note.

There are various ways to emphasise a phrase, most guitarist move the plucking hand nearer to the sound hole for softness or nearer the bridge for a harde sound.

Its not definitive, but a start.  Masters of phrasing Segovia & Julian Bream.
