I don’t claim great skill as a guitarist, though I have a diploma of sorts and have earned a living from the guitar in the remote past – an even more precarious one than the one I have now, though. The guitar, particularly the classical guitar, still claims a good deal of my time and mental energy, so it had to be represented on this site. Unfortunately, apart from the indispensable forum run by Jean-François Delcamp, there is not a great deal of very useful stuff on the Internet related with the classical guitar – here are some feeds which I hope are of more use to you than to me, and towards the bottom of the page you’ll find a few links mostly related with classical guitarists. Drop me a comment if you know a feed or link which might fit (or just to say hi).

The Virtuoso Guitarist – By Matt Palmer
I first met Matt Palmer at the Koblenz festival in 2005 and I observed a steady flow of guitarists approaching him asking for a demonstration of his astounding technique. Apart from his innate musicality and facility on the guitar, it was Palmer’s exceptional deployment of ami fingerings that beguiled other guitarists. Not only was it fast, but it sounded full, … [Link]

New Music and the Electric Guitar
With Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Gruppen (1955–57), a massive piece for three orchestras and three conductors, the electric guitar began spreading from rock and roll dance halls and smoky jazz clubs to the classical concert stage. Ever since, an increasing number of composers have been featuring the instrument, with some actually making it the centerpiece of their musical aesthetics. I’m a firm … [Link]
On Fingerings & Breakthroughs
Choosing the fingering for a passage of music is an extremely personal process—what comes off easy for one player might prove a stumbling block for another. Granted, there are some general guidelines and principles that can be applied to everyone as a starting point, but that still leaves a critical amount of discretion to the individual player, who usually ends … [Link]

Master The Blues Like SRV – For Guitar Players
Most blues guitarists start out as rock or country guitarists, only developing their interests in blues at a later date. Thus, there are many blues guitarists who don’t have all of the necessary education and background necessary to play traditional blues who rely on modified rock licks and scales to sort of “fake” a blues sound. For the guitarist who’s … [Link]

Hi, and thanks for the post
My work might not be the ‘Classical Guitar’ people are expecting, but somewhere in my head I did these videos with the aim of causing a sensation on the viewer similar to the one that might happen if you are a Tom & Jerry fan (as I am) and watch Beavis & Butthead with usual cartoon expectations in mind, and then ponder if that is a “real” cartoon (as I did). (And, yes, B&B is a great(est) cartoon 
. Hope you enjoy, and there is a lot more coming.
