Welcome to my channel! Some of these videos, I make them because I am working on them. Some, I made them for my students. Regardless of level of difficulties, I strive to give them the care they deserve. I hope you will find enjoyment in all the recordings.
Reminds me a bit of my time in Paraguay. Is this related to Paraguayan music? Mbae la porte chere ah! Ipona! LOL... Never learned to read Guarani. That was a butchered attempt to say "how are you and great job!" Good historical story about Paraguay. The Jesuits worked hard to protect the area from the nasty. Guitar and harp were things that they introduced. Due to their efforts and Parguayans (Guarani)... It is the only nation in South America where the indigenous language is known more than Spanish and even the top speaks it. Quechau is still wildly spoken in Peru etc. But, doesn't hold the same cultural grips on society as Guarani does in Paraguay. Anyhow, loved your playing and might not be related to anything I am talking about hahaha... WELL DONE!
You are totally on point. The piece is from the South American Suite by Hector Ayala. Each of the Dances in the suite is dedicated to a South American country. the Guarania is as you have guessed, to Paraguay. I’ve wished I know a little more about this piece and now I have a wonderful story to tell. Thank you!
Thank You Matthew! The guitar is a generous and beautiful loaner by #HansonYao of #Altamira Guitars during my stay in Hong Kong. I believe it’s Model N3. I will double check. The strings are a full of D’addario J.45. My baseline strings. I used only a Hypemic by #Apogee with no editing.
I was searching around for new pieces to learn and boy was I shocked when I ran across this video! The same beautiful playing that I remember so fondly.
Adam!!!! Hope you are well! So glad that you are still playing. If you like any of those piece and can’t find the score, just like me know. I’d love to share it with you.
Isn’t his music wonderful?? While enjoying his music, also listen to his teacher Raul Borges and his friend Rodrigo Reira’s music. They are all fabulous.
@@PatrickLuiguitar It really is great and I'm baffled how he never came across my radar since Venezuelan guitar music has been some of my favorite since I started playing. I don't know if you know of Efrain Silva, but he's a current composer who studied with Alirio Diaz and Rodrigo Riera and has a really nice set of studies and some other music on his site. I bought the studies and the music for the album Adios 1800 and I've really enjoyed it (professionaly engraved and fingered). m.ru-vid.com/group/PLzJUiVRjU2fUqwKPjG8aeReH3KFlRVujP m.ru-vid.com/group/PLzJUiVRjU2fUF4iXhNrlWfJzjv_1GvbKQ
I’m not at all aware of Efrain Silva’s work. I will look them up for sure. (If I could find them😀) There are so much music that has been ignored for a long time. It’s nice to find out more about them. Maybe even brush the dust off for them.
