I write a piece for the New York guitar festival called Blue Light which I rehearsed on an album called Billy Goes to Durban. platoon.lnk.to/billygoestodur… This is the guitar that inspired the piece, played by the great Julian Bream

Just finished the morning class exploring Arvo Pärt's "Fratres" which is really starting to take shape as a solo guitar piece. Such a nice start to the morning. Thank you all for joining in on my daily guitar learning!
