Saverez Traditional trebles are made of rectified nylon which is characterized by a distinctive unpolished finish. This grittiness contributes to a lessening of the high overtones. Because of their texture, the treble strings are unusually controllable with regard to vibrato and stability. The characteristics of their tone make their pitch particularly clear and true.

These are my favourite strings for the best sound from my guitar.

The First Noel for Guitar solo + free music / tab

November 16th, 2010 | Author: admin


from “A Classical Guitar Christmas” album –

http://www.guitar69.com/christmasalbum.htm

free tab / notation located at

http://www.guitar69.com/noel.htm

——————————————–

Sorry about the background noise – this is New York City after all….

The arrangement is definitely influenced by the Beatles “Let It Be” – lots of 10ths and stepwise harmonic motion. I hope you enjoy hearing and playing it and will share it with others this Christmas.

Feel free to comment – but please don’t get nasty to each other. As my Mom would say “Don’t fight – It’s Christmas!!!!”…haha

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2008!

Kevin

Lagrima Explained – Part 1 – The Right Hand Technique (Tarrega School) – Classical Guitar Lesson

September 13th, 2010 | Author: admin


The music for this lesson is available at http://www.guitar69.com/videos.html

“Lagrima” by Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909) is one of the classical guitar’s most popular romantic pieces.

In this video, I demonstrate the right hand technique used in this piece – particularly the use of rest strokes, or apoyando.

Using rest strokes fluidly and creatively is one of the hallmarks of the “Tarrega School” of playing, represented by such great artists as Miguel Llobet, Augustin Barrios, Andres Segovia, Rey de la Torre, Oscar Ghiglia, Aldo Minella, Julian Bream, and John Williams – among many others. Please watch videos of these fine artists to see and hear how they use rest strokes in their interpretations.

Free Music / Tab – “Deck the Halls with Variations” for classical guitar

August 27th, 2009 | Author: admin

The free music / tab for this piece is available at

http://www.guitar69.com/noel.htm

I was asked for this arrangement from a few people last year, so I’ve finally gotten around to notating it. It’s from my “Classical Guitar at Christmas” album which I recorded in the great year of 1993.

This solo arrangement was originally conceived as a duet, so some of the parts are difficult to master. Feel free to adjust it, add to it, subtract from it, and make it your own.

I’ll try to post a video lesson on this as well as “The First Noel” in the next few days.

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009 to all.

Sincerely,

Kevin Gallagher
