the squeaking of the guitar strings is nothing but sloppy, lazy playing...
lift your damn fingers off the fretboard- this sound is like nails on a blackboard

In classical guitar, the sound may be undesired but something like acoustic rock, or delta blues, it is a very common sound. I think Robert Johnson would agree...but what does he know?

At least you fell asleep in the town rather than down in the dungeons.


Was it even possible to fall asleep in the dungeons? Those things had me biting nails.

I always thought this was a dangerously pleasant and relaxing piece of music to have in a game I ended up playing with my brother until two oclock in the mor---Zzz......

At least you fell asleep in the town rather than down in the dungeons.

I haven't been to classical concerts much lately. I remember seeing the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago, the abiding memory of which was the incredible heat and lack of air in the hall.

On the other hand when I went to see some classical guitar I had a brilliant time.

And then there have been rock bands who were, and are still today, totally underwhelming on the live stage. One thing I took from this years Glastonbury was how few people could actually sing. Really dissapointing.

no matter how much music i listen to, classical guitar piano and cello, will ALWAYS be the best music on earth.

From a technical aspect of playing - anyone that can play Paganini cleanly can "shred".
I grew up playing classical guitar,bass,violin and piano. Shred is actually a valid term here.

By far the most difficult "shred" piece by Paganini is his 5th Caprice. While not as beautiful as this one here, it's a 10 on the scale of difficulty... this one rates about a 8 to 9 on difficulty.

This girl plays this piece very beautifully. thanks for the post.

The other guy is none other than John Williams (no, not that John Williams, the other one) who plays classical guitar.

It's not about skill level between flamenco and classical guitar, but rather the acceptance of the guitar as instrument for classical music performance.

lol its not fake, he is one of the masters of Classical Guitar. My father has all his records and I've seen people playing almost at his level.

Andrés Torres Segovia, (February 21, 1893 – June 3, 1987) was a Spanish classical guitarist, and later nobleman, born in Linares, Spain who is considered to be the father of the modern classical guitar movement by most modern music scholars.

Segovia claimed that he "rescued the guitar from the hands of flamenco gypsies," and built up a classical repertoire to give it a place in concert halls. In recognition of his contributions to music and the arts, Segovia was ennobled June 24th, 1981 by the King of Spain (S.M. el rey Juan Carlos) who elevated Segovia into the first hereditary marquess of Salobreña.

Leyenda (Asturias) is a work of classical music written by the Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. Originally written for piano in G minor, it was Francisco Tárrega who transcribed it for guitar and put it in its most recognizable key, E minor. It is the most famous section in a suite entitled "Suite Española" (Op. 47), noted for its delicate, intricate melody and abrupt dynamic changes.

Honestly if this doesn't get at least 100 votes, am leaving VS. Because next to the dynamite appeal of Jake Shimabukuro, Andrés Segovia is a thermonuclear weapon.

I've been to more than a few classical guitar concerts, and can't vote this up. Yes I'm factoring in the age, but its just not pleasantly played.

I've listened to it a hundred times, and I've found two mistakes. One is around the 5:00 mark. I can't remember where the other one is. On YouTube, the commentary agrees that her strumming technique needed improvement, but that in later recordings as an adult (this was about ten years ago) her technique was much improved. I know diddly about classical guitar, so I can't comment.

I guess it's not shredding then. I thought it just meant playing fast on the guitar. Is there a less boring word than, "plays" that I could apply to classical guitar?
