Performance Beginner finally practicing a Tàrrega piece! Adelita!

293 Upvotes

Not looking for feedback at this time. My right hand technique is poor, I know, but I’m going to work on technique this week again. I’ve just gotten lazy lately and slid into old habits unfortunately. But anyways! Here’s a little bit of Adelita by Tàrrega!

Arrangement can be found here: https://youtu.be/UDZ3RBtM7p0?is=hw8VAhPINaxYaPZI

Performance Caprice No.24 comparison, Marcin vs MengSu

175 Upvotes

I recently posted this side-by-side comparison of Marcin Patrzalek and MengSu playing Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 on guitar, and the comments on other platforms have been really interesting and fun!

Some people say Marcin is clearly superior — loving his power, percussive style, and modern flair. Others argue that MengSu is obviously better, praising her musicality, precision, and elegance.

It seems like it all comes down to personal taste and different aesthetic preferences. What one person finds exciting, another might find less engaging.

And that’s exactly what makes music so beautiful — unlike competitive sports, there doesn’t have to be a single “winner.” Everyone hears something different and connects with it in their own way.

What do you think? Marcin or MengSu? Or do you love both for different reasons?

Performance While my Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (Solo Guitar arr.)

249 Upvotes

Hello! Here’s a bit of my arrangement of one Harrison’s masterpiece (my favorite Beatle)

This one was kind of born out of necessity, I play solo guitar gigs at restaurants and a client requested this song and I improvised the basics of this arrangement and over time simple kept polishing and adding a bit.. it works very nicely live.

Warming up with a bit of Sanz at a medieval abbey in Yorkshire recently. I found it an interesting thought that the building pre-dates the piece by a hundred years or so

Performance Valse no. 3 (Agustin Barrios)

152 Upvotes

I didn't realize until recently that Barrios was shunned by many in the European classical music establishment, chief among them Andres Segovia, because he embraced his Guarani heritage. It's a real shame, because his compositions are really fun to play.

Performance Route 24 & 25 Theme from Pokemon Red/Blue

190 Upvotes

Hello! New Pokemon Red/Blue theme haha. I just have so much fun trying to do these on the guitar.. this is a simplified version, the original theme has the melody, a bass that also moves a lot between inversions and passing notes and a very very busy middle voice.. it was too much for me 😆 so I took the main melody and simplified the res while trying to keep the “feel” of it… anyways.. hope you like it!
