This is my take on the classic tango El Choclo
Let me know what you think

I'm posting this to the jazz section but could quite easily be in the classical I guess. This is my take on Corcovado by Jobim.

I figured that it would be nice to share a little more classical guitar playing here today. Sitting in a cafe in Helsinki I'm posting music by three great composers with songs not normally played on guitar. A much nicer experience if you have your headphones handy. All links are streamed on Spotify.

This is my third post today. Feeling a little more inspired to share some of my playing. I did this more as a tribute to Joe Pass. I'll likely never reach his standard but its always worth a shot. Enjoy

Thought I'd post this one in this section as I would normally post in classical but this would count more as fingerstyle I guess. This is my tribute to the late George Michael with my arrangement of Careless Whisper.

Still a bit thin on the ground, I'm posting another video of me playing a classical guitar standard. Hope you enjoy it and include it and consider it in your repetoir

@emilernebro The forum has a lovely layout. Lets hope it gets some more popularity. I've been playing for as long as I can remember and I don't want to give away my age. My hairline however may do this for me :)

Seems like there are not too many posts in this section. I guess the popularity of classical guitar is nowhere near electric or acoustic. Still, there is a great deal of beauty to be found in it. Here is my arrangement of Air on a G string from Bach. Just one example of how orchestral and piano music sounds great on classical guitar.

Lets see some more posts here :)

Hello fellow guitar players,

I'm Mark from the wonderful countryside of Oxfordshire in the UK. I'm a guitar enthusiast and pleased that I scrape a living from playing the 6 string. Hope to participate in your conversations here and post a few of my own. Here is a l title bit of my playing of the Jazz standard 'Summertime'. This arrangement has three different styles played in around 2 minutes. I hope you like it.

Mark
