Jorge Morel: Echo of the Blues

the name of the piece promise something secret, smoky and may be melancholic. It is not a Blues, it is an Echo of a Blues. Such a phantastic idea!
And the name`s promiss will not dissapoint you. This colourful piece has the darkness of a blues. It is using the blues scale in e-minor (e - [...]

South American Guitarmusic: Venezuela

These days in Shanghai is the music fair. A lot of guitar companies from the whole world are here to sell their guitars and other music instruments.
But instead of going to the music fair, I want to introduce Antonio Lauro to you:
Antonio Lauro was born on the 3th of August 1917 in Ciudad [...]

Instead of Spanish: Music for an American kitchen: Dole Dyke`s Guitar 2000

This piece of Dole Dyke is a typical Fingerstyle guitar piece. You can play it on a western guitar or on an acoustic guitar.
There are at least three very important countries for the guitar music: Spain, Latin America and America.
I personally prefer the Latin American Music, but that doesn`t mean that I never want [...]

Hallo to my students!

Because of some unexspected problems i have to delay my flight back to Shanghai and will arrive some days later. I am very sorry for all of you who are waiting for me! Probably we can start with the classes after the 24th of September.
As i didn’t bring my computer to Germany there is only [...]

To Play The Guitar Is Like Making Poesie

To play the guitar is more than practice an instrument. To play the guitar means to express the life. To show your “life – feeling” what means to make poesie. But in my eyes that doesn`t mean that you  completely need to play “ad libitum”.
I ve uploaded two different pieces. One is from the [...]

The 11th Etudes of H.V.Lobos

more than videos i like to make sound files. The main reason is, that i think music is something to listen not to watch and the second reason is the fact that youtube is not available in China and all the other hosts offer very bad sound qualitiy.
As i still have a little space on [...]

Most Important Of All: Phantasy!

Practicing with my students sometimes lets me be a little disapointed. What often happens: the younger children are learning with high motivation and big progress, but some years later if they starting with puberty, they lose their love to classical guitar and most pitty: they lose their phantasy.
May be it`s because they become too [...]

Roland Dyens: Saudade Nr.3

Julia Scheuffele just recorded a new video with the Saudade Nr.3 of Roland Dyens. This piece is very wellknown in Europe.
Because the sound of the chinese Youku and Tudou is not as good as the sound of the youtube videos, I suggest you to listen to the Youtube Video, if you can.

Stanley Myers: Cavatina – Deer Hunter

This beautiful piece is wellknown for electric guitars with the Shadows. In fact it is a melody accompained with chords, so good to play with two instruments.
But it is also possible to play it with only one guitar as Julia did in this performance.
There was some noise in the background – the video is made [...]

Berimbau by Baden Powell or the lack of Baden Powell videos in the chinese internet

Playing the guitar is more than practising an instrument. It is a creative process, that needs feeling and phantasy.
There are so many technical good players growing up now, but the really charismatic and creative performancers are still very seldom. Speciall if you look to the classical guitar players. Who counts?
For me counts Baden Powell. [...]
