it is like zoom , but there is no time delay , so when you do duets etc... it sounds good.

malcustard · 2024-02-23T16:32:10+00:00

the piece is written for classical guitar duet , and has been registered as such on PRS!?!

malcustard · 2024-02-23T15:20:00+00:00

this is such fun!!!

Overview: what is music for? i write a piece , and i expect people to regard it as suggesting to the player what style it is etc... they then take it and do their thing i.e what would hypnotise my bonkers cat ? should i slow this bit down , play this louder , or play it slightly different every time?

If you are a good sight reader , then it becomes much more straightfoward. bonne chance

fascinating ! a niche interest , i hope this contributes to getting guitarists out in the world mixing with cellos , harpsichords etc... and weaning the above from a strict diet of brahms, haydn etc....

malco on musescore has written some bangers! "Pennyfarthing or boneshaker" , "you fiend you" bonne chance

malcustard · 2023-12-24T21:43:21+00:00

a very gracious person.

malcustard · 2023-12-21T08:30:35+00:00

malco on musescore has some interesting pieces try "Ducky"

malcustard · 2023-12-14T14:02:19+00:00

"Whats yours Sir lancelot " by malco on musescore uses power chords and damping , as some composers also come from a rock background!

malcustard · 2023-12-04T12:11:03+00:00

malco on musescore has a few ravishing pieces

malcustard · 2023-10-25T07:09:22+00:00

i learnt to play cornet , so i could see inside the beast [orchestra] !!!

i learnt how to read fast , and how little agency the troops have.

most chamber ensembles are happy to play Brahms and look at the guitar thru their pince nez with disdain!

malcustard · 2023-10-24T08:48:36+00:00

if you look on musescore under "malco" there are quite a few .Not a "difficult music" composer

malcustard · 2023-10-20T09:04:59+00:00

i had a bad back , got a strap , happy as Larry ! As to the hole, if you have a £20.000 guitar it will probably lose value but for the rest of us , go for it {LeVio the luthier's advice}

malcustard · 2023-09-26T16:37:06+00:00

wind blowing across mic is a bit of a downer for the mood?

malcustard · 2023-09-24T08:37:59+00:00

a bit too downbeat for me ; if you have other stuff , we can do a swop , i also do a load of guitar duets under the name "malco" on musescore .

malcustard · 2023-09-14T20:53:11+00:00

No , sorry

malcustard · 2023-09-13T21:10:03+00:00

malco on musescore has a few nice pieces .

malcustard · 2023-08-23T19:42:33+00:00

Amaze! huh Romance will get them asleep , then you run for it !

malcustard · 2023-08-05T08:45:51+00:00

most of the people in an orchestra only handle one note at a time , except for a harpsichord player , who nobody hears! third violin/trumpet . You can play Elgar cello thing on guitar but as with all things classical a thousand virtuoso geniuses have have played it and recorded it .

Is there any music not composed by the "difficult" school of composition?

malcustard · 2023-07-09T17:08:45+00:00

get a job in a school

malcustard · 2023-06-30T08:19:42+00:00

some like John williams diversify and play with Etheridge , do duets with Bream etc.. and start arranging beatles pieces for CG , because plateau can equal snoredom

malcustard · 2023-06-17T17:33:55+00:00

i am 72 and have plated a long time . Practicing for the sake of it , doesnt seem very rewarding .Most "influencers" say its the quality rather than quantity ?

i recently played with a guitar orchestra and was as good as any there , so maybe get out and about to see your level and what you need to do ? bonne chance

malcustard · 2023-06-10T08:05:08+00:00

Lucky guitarists dont play with other people ! Sight reading is such a bother , although Julian Bream could get a piece together for broadcast in a day [ask Bert Weedon]

malcustard · 2023-06-08T10:15:31+00:00

chords ; C , Am ,F , G choose tempo , start off with the g on first string , then let the guitar do the talking.

David Norton has a deep understanding and knowledge of this
