You were right Hippie. New guitar strings make all the difference.

Very nice!

I recognise that piece. Think I also used to play it back when I had a classical. Fernandor Sor and Gaspar Sanz are two of my favourite composers for the guitar. Also the music of Albeniz and Granados transcribes beautifully to the instrument.

You sir, are a man of many talents.

Thanks very much.

I will investigate Don Sanz further.
Currently working on some Beethoven. He also enjoyed the guitar.

I haven't got a classical with me - got a cheap Yamaha somewhere in storge in aus.

I went in to Lewis Eadys yesterday and played some $5-8,000 matons and alahambras when I got the new strings.

*sigh* - only 10 times what my motorcycle habbit will allow.

todays software makes up for it. Have you seen Apple' s 'Garage Band'?

Nope. What sort of music do they play?

Jeez BD, how about you give us a list of things you DON'T do - will be shorter than a list of thing you do.

Ohh....:slap: crap. For some reason I thought Dave was referring to the KB member APPLE, and that he had a band called 'Garage Band'

So no, haven't seen Apples GarageBand app. I use CoolEdit Pro 2.0 for recording, and Guitar Pro And Power Tab for learning MIDI based guitar tabs. Theres a heap out there for classical as well as for rock.
