I did a first Tárrega Recital video some years ago with a Simon Ambridge cypress-back-and-sides guitar - see: • Short Tarrega-Llobet R... . This time I have another cypress-backed by Karel Dedain, a copy of a guitar by Vicente Arias. The gut trebles are by WildGutStrings, the hair by Neglect.

Hi Rob. I've been playing classical guitar for over 20 years, and all this time, I never imagined playing without nails could sound this good. After discovering your videos, I now find it hard to listen to other guitarists-it’s both a blessing and a curse! My own nails are gone too, and I’ve switched to playing with gut strings. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift!

@joshfeatherstone8546 10 месяцев назад

Rob, I'm curious if you ever use your ring finger to pluck with your technique? Sounds amazing as always 😊

@RobMacKillop1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, Josh. Yes, I use it quite a lot. Depends on the piece. I bring my thumb over to the trebles more than with what we might call standard classical technique, and when doing that I use the ring finger less. But I certainly use it. It’s a very relaxed technique, and feels quite natural to me. I don’t have an “in your face” virtuoso technique, but I’m not the slightest bit interested in that. I have enough for the music I play, in the way I like to play it. Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob, thank you for sharing your music! I’ve been listening non-stop lately and your tone is absolutely beautiful. Would you be able to share with me how you’re getting that tone? I would imagine it’s a combination of things.

@RobMacKillop1 7 месяцев назад

Hi Chris. The most important thing is having the desire to hear and make that sound. That drives the searching and experimenting. Technically, I play without nails, on gut trebles and Aquila Rayon basses, which blend well with gut. I use very light guitars, usually detuned a semitone or two, which allows better vibrato for a singing style. I hope that helps you. Rob

@chriskrosky1089 7 месяцев назад

@@RobMacKillop1 Thank you for sharing! Regarding the light guitar that you typically use, do you mean the type of wood such as spruce vs cedar? Or are you referring to the weight of the guitar? Thanks!

@RobMacKillop1 7 месяцев назад

@@chriskrosky1089 Weight. I sometimes play flamenco guitars, which are often closer to the Torres-era guitars. Strung in gut trebles and Rayon basses, they sound nothing like flamenco guitars. Check out my video of Capricho Arabe for one such guitar, the Camps Amazon. I have four six-string guitars which I need to sell two of. I can’t make mind up which two to let go. If the Camps went, it would be for £2,000. If the Dedain ‘Arias’ went, it would be £5,000. Just FYI 😎

@gregb91401 10 месяцев назад

Sound wonderful. Did you tune your guitar down or is the tuning change a result of the video? Thank you for sharing a great performance!

@RobMacKillop1 10 месяцев назад

Cheers, Greg. I tune down. Modern pitch dates from the 1940s, chosen for orchestral instruments. No one asked a guitar player. Before that pitch was more varied by region and also the individual’s preference. I use gut trebles, which tend to break the closer you get to 440. At the lower pitch, the instrument seems more relaxed, vibrato is easier, slurs too. Not so loud and penetrating, maybe, but I can live without that.

@davinlee3425 10 месяцев назад

Great playing sir! Quick question, would you recommend passive pickups in a classical guitar? I’m having one built for jazz and flamenca playing, but am uncertain if I should put a pickup in it since it might affect the acoustic tone with the drilling and such. Let me know. Cheers!

@RobMacKillop1 10 месяцев назад

I’ve no idea. Best ask on a forum.

@adamvalach8815 4 месяца назад

Great sound! I am wondering how you’re achieving to avoid the unwanted sound of friction. I use moisture cream, but after a few min. I have to apply it again 😀

@RobMacKillop1 4 месяца назад

What friction?

@adamvalach8815 4 месяца назад

@@RobMacKillop1 Friction of the skin and strings. For this reason I have problems to play gut strings, because it’s very hard for me to reach conditions in which my skin would produce good sound without the annoying sound which occurs while strumming.

@@adamvalach8815Strumming? How often do you see me strumming? Only on a baroque guitar, I think. I avoid finger squeak by lifting my fingers at 90% to the string. It doesn’t always work, but it is something I’ve definitely worked on.

@@RobMacKillop1 thank you for reply :). I guess you mean 90 degrees, right? Thank you for advice. By strumming I meant just playing with fingers, sorry for incorrect word.

@PERFECTGINGERBASTARD 10 месяцев назад

Such a character of tone that guitar has, it defies my words to describe it exactly, quite an uncommon accent, its so pure and clean, i sometimes resort to comparing sound to food and drink to help me out, its a fountain of spring water, the attack is soft yet fundamental with a blossom delivery, tonic with not a blemish of rudeness.

@RobMacKillop1 10 месяцев назад

That sounds a good description to me. Thank you!
