Daarsy. Modern classical solo guitar. Assault on conventional harmony.

Conrad

So many people are inadvertently pushing me in this direction. Maybe it'll grow on me. It's classical progpoop with charm.

I don't know if I'd call this an "assault on conventional harmony" (especially not around 1'30") or "progpoop" but then again, I think Webern, Schoenberg and Stockhausen are cool...

Ag man. All that said loosely with tongue in cheek. Is there even a word like Progpoop anyway...

lol. If "progpoop" isn't a word yet it should be! ?

This I like. Imagine that as an Itunes genre.

That would be utterly awesome! 8)

I'm trying to get more people talking about classical & flamenco guitar

That should do it! Thread is dead! I love metal and rock and jazz. Please don't shoot. Just trying to add variety.

I like classical and flamenco, I just don't think there's much to talk about ?

I would give you a wedgie but I don't know where you are

Thanks! I for one liked it aside from one passage that sounded a bit like a scale exercise. ?

+1.

I think Webern, Schoenberg and Stockhausen are cool...

+ nog 'n 1. Add Varese and Cage to that list and I'm happy too.?

Keira-WitherKay

Yeah i'll add i liked that .... And yes i agree with alan at times it sounded like an exercise ....

And maybe cos i listen to jazz i definitely did NOT find the piece progressive or even stepping "outside" the key...modern yes ... But i'd pay money to see her play

now only if she adapted the same piece to be played on a 9 string electric ...driving hard Thru a stack of mesa's with billy sheehan on bass the forum would explode with posts... ?

jokes aside .... Enjoyed that

ps don't anyone ever complain that your hands are to small to play fast and get reach ....?

BTW for more of an "assault on conventional harmony", how about a microtonal player:

+1 to Varese and Cage! 8)

I'll be the first to admit I don't know an awful lot about guitar technique, but it would appear to my n00b sensibilities that Iren Arutyunyan has some pretty substantial guitar chops?

Wow. Amazing. Inspiring. Thank you Alan. Watching his version of 'East Mediterranean Sundance' as I type.

Ahhh, no - carry on Conrad- I was listening! Apologies, I'm a classical plebian, I have no idea who the five composers mentioned are, luckily wikipedia & youtube can help me out (like it did when I got into flamenco about 15months ago).

Subjectively, I didn't enjoy the piece Iren Arutyunyan was playing. Objectively, the feel, passion and technique she demonstrated was something special.

Keep it coming!

P.s. progpoop, hysterical!

I liked that classical progpoop! But admittedly I like my progpoop in smaller doses.

I don't know if you can call yourself a classical plebian for not knowing composer's names. It would kind of be like saying someone is a good mathematician because they know who Gauss, Euller and Poincare was.

In any case....I don't like any form of elitism.

I'm glad you are interested in flamenco.
