Me and my guy, I mean Gear. I meant gear!

You're only as good as your weakest link right? Well, that's not completely true fore I have seen-eth many a player shred on a Squire or a Focus 1000, but it certainly helps with the creative process and practice ethic if your stuff sounds great beneath your fingers. In the midst of me talking about my nylon string Hirade and a guitar stand is a performance of a choro called Sons da Carriolles by Joao Teixeira Guimareas.
 
Enjoy responsibly.

Percussive and overwhelming. This record is a bit of a stretch for Flamenco purists, but for those who stretch beyond the boundaries of convention will find this record beautiful and enlightening. His pistol shot rasgueados are nothing short of precision and perfection. This record, and his others, namely 'Andando El Tiempo' have greatly influenced my nylon and electric playing!
 Price: $5.95
D'Addario EJ46 Pro Arte Classical Silver/Clear Hard Acoustic Guitar Strings
I've tried a myriad of strings from just as many makers. The D'Addario Pro Arte Hard Tension are the strings I come back to time and time again for their consistency and tone that hold up to my busy playing schedule.
