Finally finished my book of guitar transcriptions of Mozart's music. Just sent it to the publisher to review... Took me many years; hopefully, this is it. Cannot wait to wrap this up. 😆

Uma pergunta: o que você gostaria de encontrar em um Patreon dedicado à guitarra de cordas de nylon? Estou pensando em fazer um no começo do ano que vem. Todas as sugestões são bem-vindas.

One question: what would you like to find in a Patreon dedicated to the nylon string guitar? I am thinking to make one at the beginning of next year. All suggestions welcome.

I have been working on refining and finishing up a book of my Mozart guitar transcriptions for the past year. The closer I get to the target, the farther it feels... 😆 However, I look forward to finally publish it (then I will have more free time to think about what to do here in this platform).

One question for the community: would anybody of buy a publication of my arrangement of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" (video below is me playing it). I would love to find a strong publisher and make some money out of it, however... youtu.be/1nLoy1VDAfY?...
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS: A Spaghetti-Western Story - METALLICA on Solo Guitar
Every veteran wanderer knows a decent journey requires an even better soundtrack. There is probably no more exalting than Metallica’s legendary rock ballad “...

Here is an arrangement of the chorus on Billy Joel's new single "Turn the Lights Back On" which I quickly made two days ago. I found the chorus to be well adaptable on guitar due to the Alberti Bass in the original song.
Btw, any suggestions about what to play next?

Here is a cute little mazurka by Argentinian guitarist Jose Sagreras.

This format seems to work just fine at the end, however I am thinking to add further text about the history of pieces to make sure people watch more throughout the video. What do you think?

Here is my second attempt at the new format, which includes titles on the thumbnail. I am thinking it can help in general: people can read the title on the thumbnail, while I can come up with more fancy titles in on youtube.

I am trying out a new format for my YouTube Shorts. Let me know your thoughts.

I must confess, the one minute mark makes it a little difficult to linger to some of the more beautiful passages - I would love to take it easier. However, those are their rules for now. 😄

"Playing God" by Polyphia

Here is the second video I made to check the new microphone and setting. This is a famous riff which has been attempted by many since the piece came out in may 2022.

It is quite challenging; I hope I did well 🤪

Just trying out a new setting and microphone for Youtube Shorts. Please let me know what you think - suggestions welcome. Tomorrow I will also post a riff from Polyphia (Playing God) with the same settings and mic (already recorded).

Will make some other thread in a few days about my cover of Metallica "Nothing Else Matters". Sorry if I do not post a lot but, besides work, I have been taking care of a nasty foot infection due to athlete's foot, for which I have been taking some ultra strong antibiotics for a week 🤮🤮🤮

It has been a month since I started my "adventure" of Bluesky, and so far so good. I have been thinking about how to introduce some of the work I did in the past years. Here I will talk about my first MVs: "A Journey through Hong Kong - Moonlight Sonata on Guitar"
