WIU Guitar Festival

This weekend, I’ll be at the Western Illinois University Guitar Festival.

The festival begins with a performance by Matt Palmer followed by two full days of lectures/workshops and two nights of showcase style concerts.

I’ll be giving a lecture titled “The Savvy Guitarist” (a deliberate play on David Cutler’s Savvy Musician) on Sunday morning. Topics will include branding and marketing. Sunday evening I’ll be performing for ten minutes in a classical guitar showcase concert.

If you’re in the Macomb, Illinois area, stop by this weekend! All events are free.

This was a Guitar Ensemble recital. I played on the last piece–I guess I wasn’t important enough for a program mention!

Four Pieces for Guitar, No. 1

This is one of a set of Four Pieces I wrote last year. The score will be available again eventually, I just need to do some editing and clean up the formatting.

The Beginnings of a Guitar Piece

A little bit of something that will probably become a short(ish) guitar piece. I believe I’m writing a set of preludes right now. The video is a bit…artsy. The Zoom Q3 does not do well in low light.
