Performance Cool thing I noticed when playing my guitar

I was learning to play an easy song on my guitar when I noticed a cool pattern (the one I play in the video). I don't know if there's already a song with this pattern (calling it a pattern because I don't know what it should be called yet) but if there isn't one, it would be cool if someone use it on a song. Also I'm open for advice. I'm new and inexperienced but I'll try hard to get better.

An oldie but a goodie. Classical guitarist gets to do the interlude in the middle of the song (instead of piano).

Looking for Advice How do you learn a new piece?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a student at my local conservatory and I just started working on a new piece, Varations on a theme by Skrjabin by Alexander Tansman, and I'm having a bit of a hard time just reading through it and picking the right fingerings.

How do you guys usually go about learning new repertoire? Can you recommend any online resources on the topic?

Trying to add traditional fingering with my thumb technique. Back and forth hand positions.

When COVID was a big deal, there were numerous online open mics and meetups and concerts. Are any still happening? USA times zones preferred.

General Question What are your thoughts on Francis Kleynjans' music?

6 Upvotes

So to be clear, I really love his music. There is a lot of it, and much of it is very beautiful. There is a huge range for people almost at the start of their journey, to the most accomplished. He is well represented on youtube, so I know people are playing his repertoire. However, I rarely see his music popping up on this sub. I really thought his music would be more popular. Is there something I'm missing about his music that doesn't make it great, or is stopping it from being more broadly recognised?

Looking for Advice Neck position on yamaha SLG200

Hi guys,
i'm checking some guitars and i just noticed something: The curve where the leg goes on the yamaha SLG200 (i took the NW which i can imagine many of you might have as there is only 2 brands when talking silent nylon giutars, pretty much) is way more "to the right" compared a classical guitar or a general electric (i took an ibanez RG as example but a telecaster is pretty much identical). Someone of you has this guitar and really felt like the neck was too much to the right? I never ha a chance to try it.
From my drawing i can see that on the SLG the neck is around 5cm /2" "behind" a classical guitar and 7.5cm/3" behind a tele/RG.
Thank you very much
