Thread Name: Martin Classical guitar
Subject: RE: Martin Classical guitar
Well Don you're a better man than I am Gunda Din. Requerdos was when I remembered why I had a career as a computer geek rather than a musician. I'm retired now and have a little time to play with my guitars. I can mostly do Leyenda but it's taken 20 years. I don't know if I have the time left to go back and try Requerdos again. I think about it from time to time. I know I still have the sheet here somewhere. I'm not really sure whether it was the Kingston Trio or Segovia that hooked me on guitars back in the '50's. I never had the time or passion to get good at them. As to the wheezeing, I take 2 smoke breaks during the rests between the 3 parts of Leyenda. Maybe that accounts for it. I just hope NormanD takes the time to play classical and not scratch a good classical guitar, Martin or not, with a pick.
