01 / belief
“A part of it that I think we still struggle as guitarists — analyzing the music is very, very important.”
02 / uncertainty
“I don’t know, it just feels different. This is just in the past two years, but I think I wouldn’t say that they changed.”
03 / belief
“There are certain musicians that experiment with that, but I think, as a classical guitarist, this is what we do.”
04 / belief
“On a cello, you cannot bring all these voices out as clearly as on a classical guitar. I think that’s part of it.”
05 / belief
“Like I said, many of them experiment with alternate things, but for me, personally, I think six strings are enough.”
06 / belief
“I think he was the — I don’t want to say the first or the only one — there are so many great artists, so many classical guitarists that brought classical guitar to where it is now.”
07 / preference
“For me, personally, I’m very, very careful. I want something that I play to sound good, technically and musically.”
08 / preference
“Growing up, I listened to a lot of cellists, violinists, pianists — how they interpret, and I tried to apply that on classical guitar, which is not easy.”
09 / recommendation
“Well, I think, number one is to make the student feel comfortable because a master class setting is a very nerve-racking setting.”
10 / commitment
“For me, still, number one thing is to always work on my ability, my craft, and I always want to get better because the audience, the listeners — they always expect more.”
11 / evaluation
“For me, I think there is a little bit of danger in that because, in Europe, you usually had one teacher, and you would work with him for many, many years.”
12 / preference
“When I practice, I try to practice not too loud because that damages the nails, so you have to be careful.”
13 / preference
“Also, honestly, I don’t really enjoy recording in a studio that much. Again, I prefer to be live in front of the audience.”
14 / commitment
“I’m probably going to do this for the rest of my life, so whatever comes, I’m going to have to deal with it.” I think for everybody it’s different, but for me personally, it was that way.”
15 / preference
“If the preparation part is not done well, then I will, of course, feel nervous, and when I sit on the stage, I will feel insecure, so I have to be 200 percent well prepared.”
16 / evaluation
“Also, another thing that is important is that, in a conservatory setting, we don’t learn so much about what needs to be done in a live performing setting — how to deal with your nerves, how to relax.”
