Thread Name: New Years resolutions
Subject: New Years resolutions
I got a CD "Ramble to Cashel" consisting of Celtic fingerpicking music, one of Segovia playing Baroque and Renaissance pieces, and one of Bream playing Baroque pieces. Before I started to learn to play the guitar I used to claim it was an unsuitable instrument for classical music. I planned to learn Blues. Now that I understand the instrument better, I can really appreciate these CDs

So, one of my New Years resolutions is to spend at least a day a week of my guitar playing time on Carolan, Milan, Weiss, or one of the other composers of the Baroque period.

(Another resolution is to not make such snotty value judgements about instruments I don't understand ;-})
