http://herbsmith.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-new-favorite-guitar-player.html
Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Friday, October 2, 2009. My New Favorite Guitar Player. Listen to my new favorite guitar player, Jason Vieaux. As he explains his interpretation of how to play a Bach fugue. I love the way he breaks it down into its beautiful simplicity. Now let's here how he approaches a completely different classical guitar style, playing one of my very favorite pieces, "Caprichio Arabe" (Arabic Caprice) by one of the greatest of guitar composers, Francisco Tarraga.

http://herbsmith.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-love-my-job.html
Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. I Love My Job. One of the benefits of playing guitar is that from time to time pretty girls will come up and ask to have their pictures taken with me. These two very kind young ladies traveled all the way from China(! For this one, taken at my Beachstreet USA gig this past Sunday evening. Thanks to Song Qingyun (Sienna) for sending them!

Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. I was 'putering around looking for inspiration and came across this short video.

Herb Smith, Guitar Player & Teacher: Roland Dyens
http://herbsmith.blogspot.com/2009/11/roland-dyens.html
Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Thursday, November 5, 2009. French guitarist Roland Dyens. Seems to have it all. Great technique and the feel that it takes to put that technique to good use. As one reviewer put it, "Roland Dyens is more than a classical guitarist. He's a great musician too." This one is a tango, played masterfully. And oh, by the way, he composed it too. It's called Tango en Skai. Posted by Herb Smith. May 15, 2010 at 6:00 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Please vote for it.

Herb Smith, Guitar Player & Teacher: 'Round Midnight
http://herbsmith.blogspot.com/2009/04/round-midnight.html
Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Round Midnight, Thelonius Monk's 1944 classic has been called the perfect jazz standard. Listen as Dutch guitarist Olaf Tarenskeen plays his own very, very nice arrangement:. Next I've found a beauty called "The Reluctant Bride" by Ralph Towner. (Isn't that a thought provoking, melancholy title? Some of you may remember Towner from his work with the Paul Winter Consort, and the group "Oregon". Enjoy! Posted by Herb Smith. Please vote for it.

Herb Smith, Guitar Player and Teacher. Friday, April 17, 2009. Cesar Camargo Mariano and Romero Lubambo. I came across this piano/guitar duet recently and had to post it.
