Meanwhile already a real FreeWare classic!
:
American researchers have found out the fastest way to learn to play the piano, by dividing the exercise into parts about 10 seconds long, then playing them and not playing them for 10 sec. not playing. In this 10 - 10 rhythm, play through all the individual parts of the piece. It is said that this way the learned material is consolidated faster and more intensively.
It seems to work, if only I wasn't so lazy....

COMPLETED PROJECT

Construction report of my FIRST - Guitar meets Traveler (PDF)
A first test. With the construction of this travel-guitar I have developed the craftsmanship skills in the use of medieval tools - for the construction of a following concert guitar.
:
Construction report of my SECOND - Round meets square (PDF)
With the construction of my II. I could express my ideas of the sound of a concert guitar! In addition, I felt the need to share with you my more than 200 pages of my construction report.

ACTUAL PROJECT

Construction report of the THIRD - Oval meets triangle (PDF)
With the construction of my III. I would like to express my ideas of new Concert guitars in terms of sound and design!
Currently, a fantastic controller keyboard has come my way, with which I intonate the sensationally good sounding KAWAI GS-60 Estate Grand from Production Voice in SFZ format.
The sound holds me so much in its spell that the concert guitars already look quite enviously on it ;-)
... in winter it is much better to tinker anyway!

Elena Zucchini
Here guitar attack is a revelation...

HomePage

Elena Zucchini belongs not only for many years to the elite of the best concert guitarists on earth.

She is also a remarkable painter.

Elena Zucchini ArtWork



Can someone explain to us why pretty female musicians both on the piano, like Yuja Wang, and Alexandra Whittignhamm on guitar, like many others appear in dresses as if they were in an - albeit - albeit upscale but still - semi-seedy nightclub?
That's about like Lang Lang performing in String Tangier.
We expressly apologize to Mr. Lang for the comparison, which was not seriously meant.

VIRTUOSOS OF THE CONCERT GUITAR

Small selection

Ana Vidovic.............Asturias
For guitarists of all genres she is the undisputed Grande Dame
Muriel Anderson.........Bluegrass Medley
Margarita Escarpa.......Konzert FIGG 2021
Paola Hermosín..........Recuerdos de la Alhambra
Sharon Isbin............Asturias
Stephanie Johnes........Latin Fingerstyle
Julia Lange.............La Catedral
Karlijn Langendijk......Atlas (her new Album)
Yenne Lee...............Autumn Leaves
Anabel Montesinos.......Sor Festival 2021
Tatyana Ryzhkova........Giuliani Sonate Op.15
Alexandra Whittingham...Recuerdos de la Alhambra
If the still relatively young lady with her outstanding talent, does not fall completely into the marketing, she has the potential to become a great greatness on the concert guitar of the caliber of Ana Vidovic!
And that with the multitude of competitors to be taken seriously...
Elena Zucchini..........Fuoco
I hope that you will not drown in the juggernaut of London please.

The list of first-class female concert guitarists could be extended significantly longer. Women seem to like it when it gets really complex and multi-layered!
