Narciso Yepes – Classical Guitar

2008 April 24

I generally don’t write about clasical guitar as I stick pretty much to steel string. But I think it’s important to be aware of all the different styles and approaches. So I have decided to post about Narciso yepes. Narciso is one of my all time favourite classical guitar players.  This youTube is a standard song called Romance, a song that can be played beuatifully if the player concentrates properly.  Although it is a reasonably simple guitar piece, and has been interpreted by many players of very different skill levels, there is still plenty of room for interpretation.

I first heard Yepes in the seventies playing the music of De Falla and also Rodriguez.  He died in 1997, he was Spanish and played the ten string guitar.

Any piece of music in the hands of the right person can be beautiful
