Well....anal, comming from the greek word "amus" which means to aim; and the root word tentative, meaning subject to change-I think he means that his aim changes a lot. I could be wrong though.

A article in a guitar magizine once described us classical guitarists as "anal-retentive" and I found it funny ever since.

funny how a thread about classical music can transform into an indepth discussion about the anus and bodily functions associated with it. :rolleyes:

I tried classical. Turns out it was way too involved for me. Staccato here, forte there. I just want to play and have fun. Don't get me wrong, Andres Segovia is delightful to listen to, but I hate to think that when you actually, finally get good at it, you're too arthritic to play anymore.

here we have the first person to actually talk about playing classical guitar. I try to play some classical passages, but I don't put enough time into it.... you know what? **** this not putting time into it. I've got books. I'm going to go do something about it.

I do appriciate classical guitar and the time and effort put into it. It is probably the most challenging and rewarding of all guitar styles. To anyone who is willing to pursue classical, I say bravo, cheers, mad props, etc. Just don't forget to create.

I feel as if I have ended this thread sounding like an arse. Man, I hope not, that's not too cool.

I'm a classical player; most people here don't know that because its' not a topic that brings much interest. I'll be going to college for music performance, my only real questions are "Which college?" and "Jazz or classical?". I exceed all the requirements for New England Conservatory in jazz, but I'm considering pursuing NEC with the classical, as Eliot Fisk teaches there. I don't have my portfolio complete yet with classical, though; getting into NEC is quite a feat, it's arguably in the top five music schools in the country. If I don't make it into NEC, I'll be able to make it into University of Indiana-Bloomington, aka "The Factory", also a very prestigous school, and then go to NEC for my masters.
I've been hauling serious ass for since I can remember, and have a large enough portfolio of compositions (solo piano, guitar, symphonies, concertos) that I could major in that as well (but I won't).
Who are my favorites in classical music? Right now I'm more into Romantic music, with Ravel currently at the top of my list. I absolutely love Chopin and Debussy, but I also love the new guys like Phillip Glass. His work with Ravi Shankar is flawless.
