Shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people
I was tagged by @heresluck!
I don’t really have an “on repeat” playlist, so I threw together my different favorite playlists (mostly sorted by vibe, emotion, or which fandom I associate with which songs) and shuffled them into a giant “list of bangers to belt in the car.” I skipped repeated artists (look, Ani DiFranco’s late 90s-early 00’s run was *formative*)
(1) Because the Night (Live MTV Unplugged) - 10,000 Maniacs
(2) Parachute (Serbian Ghenea mix) - Ingrid Michaelson
(3) Darkness, Darkness - Richard Shindell
(4) Hail Mary Shy of Redemption- Eddie From Ohio
(5) Pick Yer Nose - Ani Difranco
(6) When I Go - Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
(7) Ladder - Joan Osborne
(8) You Gotta Be - Des’ree
(9) Pilentze Pee (Pilentze Sings) - Bulgarian Women’s Chorus
(10) Scarborough Fair - The King’s Singers ft. Manuel Barrueco
I feel 2000s pop is underrepresented in this sample, so please allow the additions of the first two that shuffled up:
(11) Sober - P!nk
(12) If I Were a Boy - Beyoncé
The most played non-Hamilton musical on my iPhone is either the 2009 Idina Menzel/Josh Groban CHESS or the 1998 OST for THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. That feels representative.
The most played classical piece is the 1955 version of Glenn Gould playing Bach’s Goldberg Variations, which is directly wired to affect my nervous system like Valium.
If you have noticed that I haven’t listened to much new music, well spotted! @heresluck and @kouredios are working on me, as are a couple of other friends, but I have been remiss about putting together new playlists, as I have spent most of the last two years listening to audiobooks (especially the Murderbot Diaries and the Goblin Emperor books).
Tagging @megastoat, @cincoseis, @white-throated-packrat, @fremedon, @agentreynard, @dsudis , @changingthingslikeleaves, @bgoodg and @cereta if they’ve thus far escaped being tagged by someone else and would like to play. But anyone is welcome!

Listening Comparison
First off...I fucking hate this song. You hear it once, you're like "this is badass." Then comes the incredible 3 minute slog in the middle...then the same thing again. The second time you hear it, you're saying a lesser "cool."
The third time is boring. The fourth time you get angry the first part is so cool, and then the slog.
Anyways.
It's a great piece to compare technique with. From the top...two versions of Manuel Barrueco, Jason Vieaux, John Williams (couldn't find a live version of Bream) and David Russell. Bream and John Williams are relatively interchangable in status. If one is #2 behind Segovia, well...the other is #3...and that ranking boils down to personal tastes. Williams is one of the premier technicians in classical guitar history.
Yesterday I talked about how impressive Barrueco's precision and speed was. This is a great way to show that off.
Barrueco's versions are the best, in my opinion. Vieaux and Russell's are, in my opinion again, playing it a little too safe, a little too reserved.
John Williams' is great from a technical point of view...his right hand is the best of the bunch for how even and perfect everything is. But that perfection comes at a cost of coming off too clinical and sterile. That's the unfortunate tradeoff with stellar technique...when everything seems that easy, there's no danger.
But goddamnit, I've been watching clips of Williams' left hand for the past 3 weeks and spending hours in the practice room replicating it. It's fucking incredible. It's perfection. The other guys are on that level too, but Williams is just that much better. It's all little shit like effiency and no wasted movement.
The difference with Barrueco's take is that he's pushing it to a point where the audience feels like it might actually fall apart. You never, ever get that sense with Williams...but the shit that gets my dander up is when you see a musician flirt with disaster, and masterfully navigate their way through it.
Things to watch and listen for:
Evenness of tremolo (the rapidly picked notes)
Evenness of tone (both voices are the appropriate volumes, with little variation)
Speed
Evenness of transitions between chords (smooth, no choppiness)
Effiency of physical movements (fingers don't move more than they need to)
Evenness of rasgauedos (the big strums...they should be uniform, not one that really rings out and another that's really brief)
*Barrueco's second example sounds like it's amplified or has an internal microphone...my entire life these things have been around, and without exception, they all sound like shit even if they're a necessity for large halls like in this example
All of these are solid takes, but I think the two Barrueco examples are the best of the bunch.

What can I say? Throughout my life I have been blessed in many ways. When I began my guitar journey I never thought what music and classical guitar would become for me. Growing up and learning under the tutelage of my friend, teacher and guitarist @cuatrojibaro he made sure not only that I could play, but that also I was able to listen and appreciate the mastery of the great performers of the time. So, he used to make tapes for me with music from John Williams, Julian Bream, Manuel Barrueco, Pepe Romero, Andres Segovia and others. Fast forwarding some years, I am humbled for the opportunities life has given me. I have either played for, met and learned from many of those icons who were my inspiration as I was growing up in Puerto Rico. Thankful for the opportunities that growing up professionally along side my mentors I have been a part of. Today nor only did I performed for the Maestro Pepe Romero, but I was able to share the music and the culture of Puerto Rico proudly in front of many phenomenal guitarists. A unique arrangement of “Lamento Borincano” by Rafael Hernandez, made by the gentleman who guided my steps and shaped my guitar path Dr. Jacques Landry @jacqueslandry1952 Thank you for your guidance and for sharing you arranging skills with me. Thank you to Dr. Mark Switzer and Kathy Pantelis for inviting me to perform for the great maestro Pepe Romero. Dr. Robert Phillips for all you taught me in my later years. @robertphillips2653 Dr. Ben Pila for always providing with straight, honest advice and providing guidance in my guitar journey. @dr_guitfiddle Marcus Brixa, thankful for your guitar expertise as the best guitar tech ever, but also for your guitar insights, you friendship and that last push I needed to do this. And thank you to my many other friends who performed amazingly and allowed me to share the stage with them. @jonathan_harper_guitar @jessrfloyd @3lvisr_ @anthonychannan Lastly, but certainly not least, thankful for the support from my wife and family. It has made a difference and without it, this journey would be impossible. The many, many hours of practice, rehearsals, and equipment (we always NEED another guitar, 😂). @_tani.tani (at HCC Dale Mabry Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8PFABMf33/?utm_medium=tumblr

Guitar Snuff
If vid doesn't queue, start at 3:30 and give it a listen until 6 mins or so.
This is a Japanese guitarist named Kazuhito Yamashita, and in every corner of the guitar-obsessed world, you'll find his video somewhere deep in the forum archives. I've talked a lot about my classical guitar heroes like Julian Bream, Manuel Barrueco, Jason Vieaux, but haven't mentioned Yamashita.
In almost every slice of life, there exists these boogeymen or monsters that were born for it, and devoted their lives to it. The globally known greats all know of these figures, and they're recognized as freaks even if they're outside of the public's main eye.
Yamashita almost solely exists in snuff films like these. He never had the international prestige that comes with HD cameras and a million $10k microphones, so we're left watching him in standard def thur camera mics.
Which leaves us with the feeling like we're watching Godzilla emerge from the depths. There isn't another guitarist with the combinations of skills he has...his chops are just absurd to a degree that humbles a techincally-obessed world like clasical guitar. The selection I chose to begin with is just a rapid-fire assault of licks weaving in and out of different keys, and he absolutely dominates it. Effortlessly.
He's done arrangements of a ton of the classical canon that wasn't composed for guitar. Symphonic pieces that guitarists never dared to try and tackle because we only have four operable fingers on each hand. And those outrageous chops always carry the day...literally the only way anyone can play these pieces if they have the technique this guy does.
I legitimately don't know how this guy isn't better known in guitar circles beyond this spooky boogeyman figure. He's an all-time mosnter. That's not hyperbole either...if it was just relegated to his chops and his arrangements, he'd be an all-timer.
The other guitar player in the video below is Larry Coryell. I've written about him before, he's one of these jazz giants that spanned a bunch of genres, and set the standard for early jazz fusion on guitar. Here, next to Yamashita, he's essentially a librarian hauled out from the books to play 2nd guitar.
Make no mistake...Larry Coryell is a hall of fame guitarist any way you cut it. And yet, watching this video gives the impression that he had no real business sharing the stage with someone like Yamashita.
Honestly, as much as I'd love more HD and well recorded shit from him, the fact that what we have is mostly SD snuff films kind of makes it better. The vid below has better sound quality, where you can hear just how powerful of a guitarist this guy is, and how he gets the top moving really well.
So that's today.

A música é a Cavatina uma peça de guitarra clássica do britânico Stanley Myers. Ela foi escrita para o filme The Walking Stick (1970), e popularizada como tema de The Deer Hunter (O Franco Atirador) cerca de oito anos depois.
Como diminutivo italiano da cavata, cavatina é um termo musical frequentemente aplicado a qualquer aria simples e melodiosa.
Ana Vidović (Karlovac, 8 de novembro de 1980) é uma guitarrista virtuosa croata. Uma criança prodígio, começou a estudar guitarra clássica aos 5 anos de idade, inspirada por seu irmão, Viktor. Aos 7 anos fez a sua primeira apresentação, e aos 11 anos já fazia apresentações internacionais, e aos 13 tornou-se a mais jovem estudante na Academia Nacional de Música de Zagreb, onde foi aluna de István Römer. Sua reputação na Europa rendeu-lhe um convite para estudar no Peabody Conservatory na cidade de Baltimore, nos Estados Unidos, com Manuel Barrueco, onde ela se formou em 2003.
Cara, é linda, muito delicada!...
