Yamaha GC41 Handcrafted Classical Guitar with CaseBack and Sides: Solid Honduras Rosewood

 

 

 

The GC Series represents Yamaha's new handcrafted line of classic nylon string acoustic guitars. Our craftsmen's close attention to detail guarantees the best quality. Whether you choose the warm sweet tone of Cedar or the clear rich resonance of Spruce, either top will provide you with outstanding quality. Next to the woods themselves, the bracing of the guitar top is the most critical factor affecting the instrument's final sound. 

Although the basic design is still very close to the original pattern proposed by Torres in the 1880's, refinements and improvements have been made to ensure optimum tone and volume with modern strings and playing techniques. The thickness of the third string in a nylon set tends to limit its movement at the bridge and nut causing it to respond as if it were shorter than the other strings. Yamaha eliminates this common intonation problem with a special offset step cut into the saddle at the third string.

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. The basses are on the warm and soft side, and their tone is strong overall.
These are my favourite strings for the best sound from my guitar.

The free piece this month is the traditional Spanish piece Granadina. There are all manner of practice exercises in this piece including: tremolo; rasgueado; arpeggios; triplets; glissandos; harmonics and much more! It’s in the key of E minor and has a very overt Spanish rhythm and flavour. It really “tone’s up” your skills but you might have to take it slow at first!

Hi there! I made this arrangement this weekend. Actually I was starting on an arrangement for Beatles “The Fool on the Hill” but ended up with this. Don’t ask me how.
This is not exactly a “canon”. It’s more a Passacaglia. The “vamp” D A Bm F#m G D G A. is repeated all the time with variations.
I hope you like my version.
Sheet music and TAB’s can be purchased and downloaded at
