More of a nemesis I suppose, seven years and I still can't play it

Thanks for looking

Hi Greg,

I really like this shot. My daughter plays classical guitar, so I can recognize a bit how difficult this piece looks. The B & W coversion is great. Good luck this week,

Steve S.

Very nice shot! I like the candle reflection in the guitar.
A cut-away classical... what kind is it?

Thanks for the kind comments everyone....you guys are the greatest!

Carrol,
Yes it's a cut-away. A Requinto guitar from Mexico, the label escapes me at the moment. It's a small guitar, about 3/4 size which I thought worked better for the shot than a full-size. It was also the subject of the WA "Miniature" some months ago.....

Lovley shot, Greg! I certainly know what it is to be obsessed with getting a passage right.

It appears this guitar is strung for a left-handed player. That's so rare that it actually looks a little distracting to me but then I'm probably the only person who might notice such a thing.

All the best,

Endre
