Latest guitar

Latest guitar I'm making. We old guys have trouble cutting narrow pieces of consistent width.

Thanks for posting. I guess you're referring to the tapering centre strip on the back? Looks good!

Couldn’t watch the video just yet, it’s quite time in our house. I did pop over to your web site and look at her photos. What a looker! As you know, I love the shellac tone you use on your cedar; luscious.

Great playing, you’re like Dieguito but without the crazy sorcerer face.

But playing with the overdetermined slowness of Dieguito, and whether it’s Sabicas or Diego’s family toque, his aire is Moron to me.

I thought so too!

I get your point, though, Stephen. Well, Sabicas played it so fast I could barely hear the notes, and I wanted people to hear the guitar. Let alone that I can't play that fast.

Thanks guys.

Who am I to dispute Sabicas’ tempos, but I find myself attracted to a slower solea tempo than on his recordings of solos. I learned some parts of Bronce Gitano off on of his recordings a long time ago, but found that it was more effective slowed down.

One major impression I took from first watching Sabicas back in 1962 was that no matter what speed he played, he was never in a hurry.

Thank you Yogi Berra de la Frontera

You really gotta hustle to play slow.
