La Vida Breve

Here's a recent performance... and one that was quite a landmark for me. The first time I've ever performed under these circumstances. But praise the Lord, it went reasonably well. And it's a piece I absolutely love to play and listen to, although I've never been able to perform it by myself, and it's unlikely that I ever will be able to do that (by myself). So many thanks to my friend Aaron Vasquedez for playing this with me... It was an experience I'll never forget!

  3. Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun. Next time, I will definitely try not to rush so much though. :) Yes, Seth, it was just us two (although just to be on the safe side, you DID turn off the player at the bottom, I assume). :)

    I forgot to say in the main post, this was at a master class. It's probably obvious from the video, though. I was blessed with the opportunity to spend close to 40 minutes in a private lesson with the amazing guitarist, Juame Torrent. I learned a lot from him!
