David Russell talks with Benjamin Verdery in a pre-concert lecture. Recorded March 22, 2014.
Grammy Award-winning classical guitarist David Russell talks with Benjamin Verdery prior to his Art of the Guitar program of Scarlatti, Bach, Giuliani, Granados and Albéniz in transcriptions written by Russell himself.
Russell presents his approach to programming a concert and discusses his relationship with Albéniz’ beloved Asturias; his own transcription of the work ends the evening’s concert. He offers advice on creating arrangements and transcriptions, and explains his approach to learning new music. He ends by urging musicians to develop interests and hobbies outside of music to keep the mind and spirit fresh-“as long as they’re not encroaching on your practice time!”

David Russell is so down to earth, humble, and practical. Not only a great guitarist, but a great inspiring person.

every interview I've seen with David Russell, I always want more. I check the progress bar part way through it and I'm amazed that it's nearly finished!

me too, I keep searching for more of his interviews, he's very genuine and well spoken

His information about learning songs from the back to front makes a lot of sense.

Works far better

Doesn't work for me. You can lose the whole picture of the piece and turn it into a technical excercise without musicallity by learning backwards. Going from the beginning gives a more rounded understanding of where the piece is going rather that just the mechanical process of memorising it.

Stay away from my sugar.

My instructor at the community college had me doing that like twenty years ago with Capriccio Diabolico, but I found it way to difficult so I went with upside down instead.

I tried using Mr. David's method of memorizing a piece from the last bar. It really helped me. That's a very valuable tip!! Thanks.

Be possible for you to post the film of the concert that occurred after this discussion?

I think DR talked about learning pieces 1 bar at a time even backwards in Guitar Player magazine a long time ago, the idea was to not remember pasages, but always have an orientation in a live situation, even at a 1 bar level.

3:23 If my understanding is correct, David is saying that 45 minutes is the length of a concert program. Please tell me I'm wrong! In the good ol' days, 90 mins was expected and received at guitar gigs. I've noticed within the last 15 years or so a fetish for short programs, usually 50-60 minutes. When did it become acceptable to expect concert-goers to give up their evenings, then endure train / bus / car journeys to a gig, just for 50-60 mins?

The general audience cannot usually endure a 45 minutes of consecutive playing oriented for “competitions or exams” showing how good he/she performs. This is the way I understood his words.
