    Can't thank you enough sir mcalllister for posting these valuable interviews with the master. Sir Russell's way of teaching young and aspiring guitarists is phenomenal. His 167 pieces of advice or something is a mine of information every guitarist would be wise to get hold of.

    Learning to play is so much easier than learning to perform. 😂

      Make sure to give yourself as many options to play for people as possible, anywhere and everywhere. It eventually becomes more familiar and relaxed.

    Hey Matt, I’m loving these interview clips with David. Thanks for posting them.

    I'll bet David's had plenty of experience with pagers going off and people being seated late. Some performers don't respond as well.
    Went to a solo jazz piano concert
    years ago and he (I'll call him KJ)
    just went off at those disruptions
    Made life miserable in the hall, people wanted their money back.

    This is gold! How true - picture next position. And stay humble, like DR, but believe in yourself!

      Hi Carlo, I get mine from Amazon and search for anti slip mats for rugs or even dashboard anti slip pads for cars. Lots of options.

    Before a performance I like to play with the radio on. Conservative talk is the best. If you can play with that going and keep your concentrations then you are solid as a rock.

    What piece is that

  • @Hannah-fh9sm
    @Hannah-fh9sm 4 роки тому +1

    Yup- and as we mature our ability to learn new pieces maxes out. The mind’s file drawers get filled, making memorization harder. It’s always a conflict wanting to play well from memory vs having to rely on the score in performances. Thank you Maestro for your insights!!!
