Spanish Guitar
Spanish Guitar
Spanish GuitarI believe the nylon string guitar to be the most expressive of the guitar family. We all adore its lyrical quality and above all its extreme rhythmic power. I have always embraced these virtues and composed music on a manner to reflect upon them .
The Spanish guitar can be a stand alone instrument with little need of accompaniment, to bring forward a full ensemble nature. This virtue defines how we play melody and harmony in a flamenco style.
I have learnt from the flamenco style, to focus in a monophonic manner, on what I am performing. If I play the melody , I make sure that it comes through with clarity, if I wish to answer the melody, I also make sure that these lines are clearly expressed. I may use, or not use harmony to reinforce them.
Upcoming releases
I would like to invite you to listen to my latest flamenco guitar release that focuses on this principal I have just explained.
