Both on my list of lessons to do - just haven't gotten there yet! And yes, "Capricho" is a BEAR.

The guitar has so many logisitic peculiarities it can be tricky to transcribe for. Tarrega's transcriptions & original pieces are masterpieces in the understanding how the guitar "works". And he always uses those beautiful, bittersweet flat 13s on his cadences. Truly Kick Ass music!

That stuff is always a work in progress. And as you know...
[QUOTE=R. Shackleferd]But hey, it was good practice too.

Exactly. :)
[QUOTE=R. Shackleferd]And thanks to ya'll for the comments.

The pleasure was all mine - I listened again this morning for a little inspiration before practicing. Then I checked out your other stuff. The Mozart piece was beautiful. So thank YOU.
