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).

When I bought my Papazian guitar, he told me to use a drop of sewing machine oil everytime I changed the strings. Later someone told me about graphite, which you can buy in tubes here.Even later a luthier told me that either one is ok, but don't use both. You'll end up with a gloppy mess.

Classical Guitar » Classical guitar recording and amplification • Re: How to 'fix' recording with low level
Maybe I misunderstand here something, but how about this:16 bit recordings have a theoretical dynamic span of 96dB; 24 bit recordings one of 144 dB. If I take the number of possible representations of level with 16 bit, then I have 2^16/96 = 682,7 (rounded) steps per 1dB. WIth a 24 bit recording I have 2^24/144 = 116508,4 (again rounded) … [Link]

One big challenge not mentioned here is security inspectors. No matter how bulletproof your case is, and how many 'fragile' labels you've got, the moment security decides they want to look inside the case you are in trouble. The guitar will be fingerprinted everywhere if you are very lucky, will have few fresh scratches in most cases, and don't be … [Link]

Haven't been to many CG concerts, but the most memorable was Julian Bream at the Wigmore Hall in I think the early 90s – except I actually can't remember too much about it I've been trying to remember what he played – Bach I'm pretty sure, and maybe Tippett?

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.
